and here are some of her books that i feel in loved with

WRECK THIS JOURNAL

-what i love about this book is the ability of the user to be innovative in all ways possible,

manipulating rules and bending creative juices you will surly get pumped and can't get enough of it.

MESS

the manual of accidents and mistakes

-this book is not about making something beautiful, consistent or accurate. instead it gives you the permission to do mistakes once in awhile (or in this case do the mistakes on this book). the big plus on my part for this book is it has group activities where i can share being messy with my friends :]

FINISH THIS BOOK

-have you ever had that dream of becoming a great detective and also become a great novel writer? well maybe this book will help you start your way into that thing. activities gives you the challenge of stepping out from your comfort zone.
