76. Create an Adventure Book

Hello everyone!

Today we did probably one of the most procrastinated items on the list, which was create an adventure book. This idea comes from my favorite animated film, UP. In the movie, Carl and Ellie create an adventure book with pictures of things they are going to do when they go on their adventure to Paradise Falls. Our adventure is this summer, so we filled ours with pictures of what we were going to do, i.e. our edited pictures on our Instagram, and pins and things we found on Pinterest and Tumblr.

We used many different materials that we found throughout the household, including random scraps of paper, duct tape, ribbon, stickers, a hot glue gun, string, markers and some printed things from the inter webs. We didn’t have much of a plan going into to this, but I have to say Rachel is the one who made it look beautiful. We knew the first page was going to say, “stuff I’m going to do” and she copied the font exactly like the legit adventure book.

I hate to admit it, but she practically did the entire thing. Aside from printing out the photos, I did about 2 pages. It would not look pretty if I had done more.

The cover is my favorite part. As another thing that Rachel did, it looks quite flawless.

We left half the book blank to fill we “stuff we did”, once the summer is over.  Hopefully, we will have finished everything. Can’t wait to do more! Let the adventure begin!

Farewell,
