I wasn't going to do it! I wasn't going to buy Washi tape, wasn't going to buy a SMASHBOOK. Last week, bought stupid *%&# Washi Tape. Still not going to buy a SMASHBOOK! I asked online if anyone had any journals hanging around the house and my friend gave me some. I altered the front two pages with paper and wrote some stuff down. TODAY: Had a 50% off coupon to Michaels and they had the bigger SMASHBOOK and I had to buy it. I'm not sure where to start in it but I'm going to continue to use my other book. I'm not worried about acid free, not worried that it is messy, and I am in LOOOOOVE!
