Spin the bottle!!!

When I first opened up the July Kit, I pulled out the spinner card and thought -- I really need to JOURNAL about some of these fun things -- my first kiss, crazy days, etc. 

So, I pulled out my 'growing up' years album, that I am slowly working on re-doing (it was done 20 years ago with scotch tape and crayola markers...).  I found a few pictures that corresponded well with some of the categories on the spinner card.  

I attached the card to some fun paper from the July kit right in the middle of the page. Then, with a black marker and a ruler, I extended the lines on the spinner card to the rest of the 12x12 paper. This way, I had a specific space for each category on the card.

Then, I started writing. And writing. And writing. My main focus on this page was obviously the journaling and just writing all the fun details of those memories. I decided to keep all my 'answers' to the spin the bottle spinner card strictly during my highschool years.  That way, my husband can't get too mad that he isn't my 'biggest crush', since we hadn't met yet! :) 

Here is my layout. Like I said -- loads of JOURNALING.

So, if you feel the desire -- go after it -- I guarantee the extensive journaling will make people stop and read some of the stories on this page -- whether or not I want them to!!!
