The Organic Principles
Love is the virtue of the heart;
Sincerity the virtue of the mind;
Decision the virtue of the will;
Courage the virtue of the spirit.

A few months ago I had to google them because I had not seen one in the flesh ... I think they are harder to come by over here. So, short answer is no, I did not start one. But, I have enjoyed seeing them used in a variety of ways.
I loved the concept of them but never got one as I couldn't justify yet another sketch/planing/sticking bits in book to add to my already half full pile. I cant wait to see what you have done with yours.
I did start one in the summer....didn't put as much in it as expected....so it's still ongoing.
I started a "Junque Journal" about 2 years ago - before smash books became all the rage. My latest pages are included in a recent blog post: http://cheriandrews.blogspot.com/2012/01/more-from-crop.html
Check it out! You might recognize some things in that post! ;)
I never did jump on the smashbook bandwagon, but I really want to and have a bunch of things handy that I could smash into it when the mood (and the shoulder) allows.
I never got around to starting one, though I love the idea.
I didn't have one - but I have just managed to get my hands on the next generation: an Amy Tan Day book. I'm looking forward to seeing more
I actually learned about smashbooks on your blog. I saw them in one of our craft supplies stores and I didn't get the hang on it. I see that one of your faces made it into the book!!
I made one with a twist, and I still use it. Mine isn't artsy like yours, but serves as an inspiration notebook more than anything else. It's one of the more useful projects I've made.
