rookiemag:

Jamie’s post about her journal inspired me to dig up these photos from my (now defunct) blog. I always wanted to keep a scrapbook/journal but couldn’t commit to one, so a couple of years ago I had an idea to make one for one of my best friends who had just moved to the other side of the country. I filled every 80+ pages of the notebook with different things: letters, collages, perfume samples, contributions from friends, and whatever flat objects I could tape inside (from buttons to condoms to mixed cds to an envelope filled with paper dolls). I sent it to her in time for her birthday.  Having a bit of a “deadline” and knowing that I was ultimately giving this book to somebody else inspired me to fill it up (it was also very therapeutic to make).
