One for you, One for me

So, for my sister’s birthday I bought her a Smash Journal. I was shopping around and stumbled upon something perfect for her. I love when that happens. A Smash Journal is this cute spiral bound journal with a hard cover where each page is a different fun paper. They have themes so I bought her the ‘doodle’ one (girl loves to doodle so much she’s covered her walls in doodles).  The book comes with this pen that has a glue stick built into the end. The concept is it is a place you can just glue in all sorts of things and it doesn’t have to look perfect. Like scrap booking for the person in a hurry.

Here is the little video they made the show you what it is:

Well, it was perfect for Mandy; especially because she’s in a transitional period of her life (about to go off to college). I figured this way she can use to help remember what it’s like to leave the nest. I got her the journal and some really cute accessories they sell to go with it:

Date stamp that has fun phrases like "This Deserves A Fist Pump"

Little pockets to glue in and keep small things in

Fun sticky notes

 

She opened the gift and immediately started filling the book. I sat there and watched her and slowly turned green… so I went out the very next day and bought one for myself (the mod one). I figure I’ll want to keep stuff about getting a home and baby and all that jazz. :) Or maybe I’m just a little kid who didn’t want to be the only one without a toy. Either way, I’m having fun and loving this new product.

Here is a blog where people can show off their journals:
