sisterhood of the traveling smash.
A few months ago, a co-worker made a comment about my circle of friends – the circle that is made up of friends from school, friends from scrapbooking, and friends who are practically family. She (the co-worker) said "oh, I wish that I had a Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants group like that." Being a huge Sisterhood fan myself, the comment stuck with me. Several days later, I was working on a Smash book about adventures with that same group of friends. The next night, while driving home, this idea came to me -
Sisterhood of the Traveling Smash.
I like naming things. I did what I normally do when I have an idea that might be dumb – I emailed Barb. She confirmed that she was in, which is pretty much like a gold star. And just like that, the Sisterhood of the Traveling Smash started coming together. What is it? It's Smash book (oh, sorry Barb – SMASH book – Barb prefers all caps) meets circle journal. We each buy a SMASH book, decorate it how we see fit, throw in some "rules" and then mail if off to the next person on the list. That person adds in a few pages (working loosely on a "day in the life" theme) and mails it to the next person – and so on & so on.
I am very excited about this project.

Can’t wait to get started – still waiting for mine to arrive. Still have no clue what to do so that guarantees a lot of fun 🙂 LOVE this idea! Thanks so much for letting me twist your arm.

I just came across this blog today while looking for smashbook ideas on Pinterest. I absolutely love this idea, and am looking forward to trying it out with some of my friends in the coming year if they’d like to join in the fun.
Thanks so much, and I look forward to seeing more posts in the future.
