Ali blogged last week about a few great books and I was excited to get my Amazon delivery with my own copies on Saturday.

Keri Smith's Mess
is awesome. I'm not good at this mess concept. The idea of burying the book or putting moldy food on it makes me nervous. (So nervous that I'm pretty sure I won't do it.) Even my "make a pattern and then mess it up" had to be accomplished in rainbow order.

But a book that works to get me out of my comfort zone and involves art supplies? I'm in.

Also enjoying The Art of Non-Conformity. Lots of highlighter-worthy thoughts to be found. (Reminds me a bit of The 4-hour Work Week…)

Thanks Ali, for the recommendations.

And on the thank you train : thanks, Kal for starting off such a rad workshop this morning.

Lots of making stuff time scheduled for the next few weeks. Which is great, because I am completely out of ideas.

    that’s in my amazon cart too. I can’t wait to get it! it looks similar to her Wreck This Journal, which I love, even though I’ve yet to gain the courage to do some of the more destructive tasks… yours looks so pretty and not at all messy! 🙂

    Have these bookmarked to purchase once my Pell Grant comes in. But I do have a question – what’s the 4-Hour Work Week? A book? A blog? Please share!
