Definitely not just you! I find that I destash, I have a couple months. Teaching a class helps. Because I don't feel like i'm wasting it.I just bring it to class, and we use it there. The only places in my house that are cluttered are my art areas. 😅

Well I am a newbie so I don’t have a large stash of anything. I also have very limited space. I am thinking that what you saved a long time ago maybe isn’t your style now? I need an “ organized” mess to be able to create anything. Good luck with the rest of your craft room!

You’re NOT a hoarder! I’m exactly like you: my house is immaculate, well organized, not a shred of clutter, everything in its place, BUT my craft room is… well… a bit of a mess… ok, let me be honest: it’s a mess! It seems my craft room belongs to a different house and to a different person. So, two conclusions: if you’re that organized like me in the rest of your house, you need a kind of “escape”, where you can be totally messy and chaotic and free and a bit crazy too; second, as artists, we tend to collect everything related to art supplies that we like, so it’s absolutely normal to have things we later don’t use. It’s even possible to find things after some months and think: “did I buy this? Is this actually mine?”😂 Don’t worry, I’m pretty sure that all artists are like that and I know for a fact that many don’t keep their home as organized as we do, so we’re in an advantage here!😂 I have to clean up my craft room every now and then otherwise I feel overwhelmed, because I’m a bit of a minimalist and I don’t like to have what I don’t need or use. Exactly like my clothes, if I don’t wear them, I have to donate them, or I go crazy 😂 So, you’re not alone, I’m sure and rest assured: all artists are seen as a bit insane, because most people are used to what the majority does and tend to judge the minority. There’s a quote from Nietzsche that says the following: “And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who couldn’t hear the music”! Remember, Di, most people can’t hear the music 🎶 💙❤️💜🩵💚🤎💛🩷🩶🧡♥️ Sorry for the long message 🤭🙏🏻

oh no, please give those to somebody that also loves junk journaling ,

HAHA!!!!! I would LOVE to go thru your trash bin and find treasures for myself!!!!!

Wow those treasures ❤

I’m a bit astonished at how afraid of the blank page artists can be.

That's funny that the first time I heard about Montreuil flea market was while talking with you.... Now seeing what you found there, I need to go there. Did you go early in the morning ? Can't wait to see the next video ! ^^

This is so good. I did mine a different way. It wasn't a sewen signature one. I pulled out about 5 pages and glued the pages together to hide where it was torn. However, when it's closed, it doesn't sit straight. The front goes forward. Next time, I will look for a signature one and try it your way.

Yay, another Aussie! 😃 I am in Sydney. I love your little teabag journal. It has a lot of rustic charm.

You found gold! So fun to see a Paris flea market that you always hear about. My favorite piece was the box full of stamps! Thanx for sharing!

Really love all the things you purchased , would love to do a day browsing at any flea market. When you purchase something old, mostly books, do they have a musty smell ( from storage in damp places) and what do you do to get the smell out?

Hiiiiii lovelies 😉 Part 2 of my Paris flea market tours, boy! It was so much fun. The variety was amazing and I just love rummaging 😂 this was more like what I imagined the flea markets to be like, let me know if you’ve been or have something similar near you, see ya in the video ❤

I could spend days in a place like that! We have that in Lisbon, but not where I live, and I know they take advantage on tourists. However, as secondhand things are now a trend, everything is too expensive, I think, for the real value it may have. That velvet purse was my favourite! But everything you bought is really, really great 💙🤎♥️🩷💚🧡💛🩵❤️🩶💜❤️

Well, I, for one, just LOVE you, Di, and all that you are sharing with us!!! I think you are a gorgeous woman, inside and out. 😊 I only just found you, and am thankful that you have a ton of videos for me to enjoy over time. Thank you for all that you do. 🎉 You are a delight to my ears and eyes. I've been repurposing old books into art journals for a few years, but never knew the trick of using what we call 'freezer paper' in Canada, between gessoed pages, enabling to keep working on pages and not needing to wait for each to dry before moving on to the next. What a time saver!! And, no break in creative flow. beautiful.❤ I haven't found your video on your house flooding, how awful for you to experience that, heartbreaking and soooo much work too!! Glad it's mostly behind you... Bless you, Di, and your channel xo

Thank you you have inspired me to do this i bought gesso ages ago its abit gritty when dry but it covers hood

If pagds are bit thin do you glue some yogether

This is part 1 of 2 Paris flea market videos I’ll be putting up. I had so much fun finding vintage ephemera for my journals and other great finds. Look out for the next flea market video next week ❤ Let me know if you’ve been to the Paris flea markets in the comments and what you found 😉

So coo! Thank you for sharing!

What a beautiful time you share with us, thank you. Enjoy the rest of your trip. By the way, I hope you brought more than 1 "passport"?

So nice to see your wanderings in Saint Ouen. But the prices..... I love the icon!!

Beautiful, beautiful treasures! I love old postcards. My mother had lots of them, but for some unfortunate reasons I couldn’t keep them. I also loved the religious pieces. Fortunately these ones I have, they belonged to my grandmothers, they both had crosses, rosaries and little pocket shrines that are now mine. I wish I had those flea markets where I live ❤️💙💚🤎🩵💜🧡🩷🩶💛♥️

Love all your finds! Great market but prices were high!

Loved the tour of the market and what you purchased. I was in France last year ( from Canada) , went to some food markets but not a flea market.

Wow! Loved the nosey round the market with you. And the bits you bought are fab 🥰 enjoy using it all 😊

Thank you so much for sharing your day at the flea market! I was in Paris in July and came over a wonderful place called 59 Rivoli. If you havent already been there, you should check it out if you get the chance. Åshild

What a brilliant haul video. And loved the views of the market too!

Hi Di im from Cairns FNQ.. just came across your videos and love... i love using t bags in my mixed media. Could you please tell me where you bought your patina paints .

This video is so lovely. Love the music you put with it. I will probably never get to Scotland so thanks for taking me along with you. ❤

Oh wow Di, this is such a wonderful video. If I didn’t already live here I would want to visit 😆 Thanks so much for the mention, it was so, so lovely to meet and I’m so happy you love your wee parcel 🥰

This was a lovely, slowing down time for me. Journaling, thinking things through, time with family, journaling and of course meeting Liz from youtube.com/@buttonsforbrains?si=3jwLiByYVBVWPbsR UA-cam channel. Come along and see what I got up to. Let me know down below if you’ve been to Scotland before ❤

Wow, such a wonderful place to visit. Personally, I have never been out of the USA. What a great video. Thanks for the peek into your trip 😊

What a journey! You're selling so well Largs and Scotland! ^^ Can't wait to see the Paris video! :)

Beautiful! Thanks for taking us along. I have Scottish ancestry ❤

I love everything about this video! So well put together, Bravo! I too love Scotland. I’m from the USA and I have Scotch ancestry. We went there two years ago for two weeks. I felt the same kind of peace there you described. I want to return soon and stay longer. Thanks for sharing your trip with us!

I’ve never been to Scotland, but I’d love to. I absolutely adore those rainy, foggy landscapes and the sound of the bagpipes! I find it so moving. I’ve been to Ireland though and I loved it, although it rained every single day and it was cold and we were in August! The place that makes me feel at home is Lisbon, the city where my father was born and where all his family was from. I used to spend there my summer holidays when I was a child and a teenager: such beautiful memories 🥰 Wonderful video! I hope you’re feeling better now ❤️💙🩷💚💜🩶🤎🩵💛🧡♥️

I absolutely love both kinds of journals by the way ❤ I have both or multiples of both a true junk journal or an art journal on the go at the same time. Each a little different to the next because they’re all unique, right? Take care everyone and let me know what you think ❤

Thanks to all of you that left a comment here and I’ve had 23 DM’s too! ❤ you’re all so kind. I just wanted to do a quick video in case you wondered where I was!!! Stay tuned for my Paris Flea market finds for journaling……..Di x

Prayed for your quick recovery. Looking forward to seeing your journal, but take care of yourself first. ❤

Praying for your speedy recovery.

Get well soon!

I had Covid in the beginning of August my second time. I believe it was the new variant like you may have. It put me in bed for two weeks and the rest of the month to recover and into September a bit. I was very sick. And I have had the shots and boosters. I’m not sure they have a shot for the new variant yet. Maybe now they do. Just take it slow and REST. I’m in Maryland. Take care of yourself and stay hydrated. 🙏 🙏❤️😘🤗💕🙏

Oh, Di, I’m so sorry you’re ill. I hope you get better soon. Sending healing vibes and lots of love ♥️🩵🧡💚💛💜🩶💙🩷🤎❤️🤗🤗🤗💐💐💐

Hope you get well soon

The steaming cup of coffee with the eiffel tower in the distance is an awesome photo!!! I hope you feel better soon. Covid is the pits... ive had it 3x too. Lol... the last time i got it when traveling home from St. Croix USVI. Someone some where was hacking away. May your memories put a smile in your heart🥰🌻

Oh no! Get some rest and take your time! You were right not to buy the book at the shakespeare company, your suitcase would have been overweighted!! ^^ Healing hugs

Can't wait to hear your stories , however take your time to recover, otherwise you'll be tired for months
