Media Journal June 2024 Setup | Pride/ The L Word Theme
Super cute! Love the music too! ❤
Really nice collage! I’d be terrified to do a full red page 😅 but you make it look nice and easy! A sensory room sounds like a great idea! I’ve been trying to do one for my son for a while, but I keep forgetting 😂
When Mildred retired, I was devastated 😢. Marjorie has exceeded my expectations! I love the way you roll the dice and pick a color. The journal itself is beautiful. I would like to make one just like it someday ❤❤❤
Momma, we all need to do what we need to do. You are so lucky you can craft with little ones. I ended up stopping crafting for about 30 years until I could get back to it again without being pulled in so many directions. It was a huge chunk of my life that was lost until I re discovered it again. Now I’m retired and all I do is craft!
Good morning. I like the idea of creating with a specific color. 😊 it looks great!! I also get overwhelmed with creating and filming. 😊 you are doing a great job! And if you need a break Do It! You are a mom and that is a great place to be! Remember to take care of YOU! ❤ Gina
Take a break NOW. If you use all the gas, it will take longer to recover. You may be feeling this way since your youngest is in school now. Be kind to yourself, we will still be here.😊
Very lovely purple page! Please take a break if you need it. Taking care of yourself is fundamental! Hope things go smoother with school as time goes on. My kid is the same as your daughter, he gets home and becomes a whole mess. He masks throughout the school day so by the time he gets home he’s can’t deal anymore. I’m hoping this year will be different since he started his adhd meds this summer 🤞
@@AurorasWindow Hopefully the meds work for your son. I can understand the feeling. It hurts so much to see them struggle like we did. Trying hard to give her a safe space at home.
Enjoyed your purple 💜 page on Margery. I've heard other creators taking breaks because life sometimes have little inconveniences and it gets overwhelming at times. We try to use our journaling as therapy, but sometimes we just need to step out and get some fresh air and shake off that wonky feeling our shoulders to get some relief. Drink water. Be kind to yourself. We'll be here waiting patiently for you.
@@rosarieramon1081 Thanks. That means so much to me. And I just drank some water. I always forget.
Loving the purple! Now with that said, PLEASE take care of yourself! If you need to take a break, then do so! We’ll be here when you return. TFS🙏🏽🦋🙏🏽
@@destinygraceartistry3468 Thanks so much. That means a lot to heat. I was worried about it a lot.
Wow! Awesome resin pieces! Thanks for sharing!😊
@@koalitascreations Thanks. My bestie is talented!
Oh my goodness how precious that your daughter did your voice-over! This made this video unique! She knew what she was talking about! Let her know that she did a wonderful job! Back to your journal. This came out so nice. LOL on hiding the doily. That made me smile with your comment! Always remember just to do the best you can with your children. And it seems like you do! I love the layouts and you make it look so easy! Thank you so much for sharing! Gina
@@PerfectlyImperfectJunkJournals Thanks. She definitely practiced. She listens to me alot so she is an expert at this point.
I love this, so beautiful and sort of dreamy.
@@tempestholmes Thanks 😊
Jake 💋❤️🫂💋🫂
@@lolitaburgess-fh2yx I am new to them. Still have to learn all their names. But I am obsessed with this song!
This is such a great way to put a journal together! I am going to try it and maybe add it to the list for workshops at the library if I can figure it out. ^_^ I have TONS of music sheets if you would like some. I would be happy to mail some to you if you want some.
@@tempestholmes Thanks. It was definitely a learning experience tho! But it wasn't as hard as I thought.
Girlie, someone that saves your life with toilet paper is AMAZING!! I feel a lot of what you're saying about friends though. It's so hard for many of us, even though on the outside, we may all seem like it's easy. NOT! I'm in awe of her resin work. Wow! Lights in resin?????????????? Genius!! Looks so cool! I've made resin jewelry, but that's amazing! I keep thinking I'll try making a beaded resin tray or something, but I just never do it. Air bubbles. lol
@@SparkleByMonica I tried resin a few years ago and dude,......bubbles are my enemy. She is definitely creative and talented. People always think I make friends easily because of my personality but it's harder than you think.
how is this not going viral...that's so creative!
This is a wonderful friendship story!
@@AurorasWindow Thanks. She is truly my partner in crime. I call her my life wife lol.
And thank god for TP and besties and people who love us for who we are! I don’t have that many of those people in my life either ❤️
@@conversationsbymoonlight I feel like it was easier when we were kids to make friends. Adulthood makes it harder
@@blacksirencreates Absolutely! Bella can make friends anywhere, but I’m just like uh uh uh I don’t know what to say uh uh k byyyeee
That dream catcher tho 🤩🤩🤩
@@conversationsbymoonlight Right?
“But she did it with resin, bro!!” You are the ultimate hype woman!! I love it!!
@@conversationsbymoonlight I will always support her. She has saved my mental health and deserves a cheerleader
@@blacksirencreates Im so glad y’all found each other!
Nice! ❤
Your daughter is adorable and she had all the speech ready for the voice over! I love the fart noises her sister made 😂 Teaching kids consent is so important! I wish more adults understood that. And all your worries are so valid. This is what being a neurodivergent parent to neurodivergent kids is: worrying they won’t be accepted or they will suffer like many of us who grew up not knowing we were neurodivergent. Hopefully the school system is good for them and you can advocate for them. I’m still trying to get my son the right accommodations he needs! Good luck!
@@AurorasWindow We are still early in getting my kids diagnosed. Her tea hers are actually really supportive right now even without a diagnosis. So I am hopeful. My oldest practiced to make sure she sounded perfect. It was so cute.
Adults need to learn how to respect the bodily autonomy of kids. PERIOD. You are a great mom, respecting your daughter for who she is. And for protecting her right to say no. Teaching girls that their decisions about who does and does not touch them are to be respected? Yes. More of that please. I'd insert a standing ovation gif if I could. Good luck with first day of school!
@@jencook203 I think it is so important for kids to be able to say no. Especially girls. I will even do it to family members. They hate it lol. But oh well....I do what is best for my kids. Period.
The sound effects from the other sister are lovely. :D
@@jencook203 The farts. I can't. She is four and it was the funniest thing to her. Lol. I didn't have the heart to edit them out.
You looked so beautiful, so interesting! Tfs,
@@savanahevans9551 Thanks!
very cool!
@@alexis6793 Thanks!
Blue is my favorite color too! I like what you did for this one!
@@AurorasWindow Thanks a bunch
Hooray for Margery! Off to a great start!!
@@savanahevans9551 Not too bad for the first one. Thanks 😊
Sweet little journal! Thank you for the Flip-through!😊❤
Thank you for the video! Also, I love waffles!!!! ^_^
I love love love the picture of the lady with the colorful hair. That’s definitely your top 1 page!
Always lovely to see journal flip thrus! TFS!
Congratulations on another successful JJJ! 🎉 You do you! I love the envelope window and the gold star. The gold ink was a masterful touch. Hang in there K! You got this ❤❤❤
Your cat made me smile. My cat always participates in my journaling. 😂
@@gracecarmichael5974 Every single time 🐈 😻 🐈⬛
I love how creatively you used the envelope window. I will be using that idea in the near future!
@@jaellandrie6877 Thanks. Happy to inspire you ✨ ☺
Shine... It's getting close to the end of the July challenge. Everyone goes through their ups and downs. I started writing inspiring, motivational quotes in my journal. I found this one, "THE JOB OF BEING...There will be days when your favorite thing to do is Nothing. Allow yourself to do exactly that. Some days Being is your only job." author unknown. I asked my neighbor one morning, how are you doing? His reply was, "I'm living the life!" I thought cruises, vacays. She continued with, "At my age, I am still able to get out of bed and walk and work in my garden." You do you. You've got this.
@@rosarieramon1081 I love that quote! I often answer that question "well, I woke up this morning so..that's good" lol
Hope everything goes well with to your husband’s new location. And you are doing great. It’s ok to slow down, take things easy as you and your family transition into new things. Also, I did do shine bright like a diamond for shine hahaha I also did it for spark, I just had to do it for both pages because the song can’t stop playing in my head 😂
@@AurorasWindow I get what I call earworms A LOT. I often have to sing it over and over until my brain is happy
Amazing video! Very Beautiful! I hope everything will work out for you and your family! Hugs! Keep being real!!😊 Thanks for sharing!!😊❤
@@JCarrie-24 Thanks so much ☺
Love this entry! Your take on this prompt rocks! Your deviled eggs look so delicious!
@@Crafting_Whimsy Thanks. I couldn't resist. Deviled eggs are my favorite 😋
I also did a sewing theme for buttons! Instead of drawing buttons, I made some with paper. I don’t really have interesting buttons to use. I’ve always loved that you use what you have! I’ve been tempted to use crayons for a while, I think I will now!
@@AurorasWindow Yes, I have champagne tastes with a beer budget. I just have to make do with what I have. That's why I collect trash lol
Amazing video! Very Beautiful pages! Thanks for sharing!😊❤ I hope you are doing good! Have a wonderful week! Looks awesome!! Hugs!!
@@JCarrie-24 Thanks. Hope this week is going well for you ❤
I love that you used a crayon 🖍️ I know exactly what you mean. My supplies are all over the place, especially my markers!! I Can never find my tape or glue because my kids always “need” my supplies. Your spreads are beautiful!! 😊
@@alexandrasstudio5308 Thanks so much. Yes, my children are chaotic but it keeps me on my toes.
I like it!! Clever idea. Hope this coming week is easier! Take care!
@@GwenTheTrashWitch Thanks. Just taking it a day at a time.
Beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!!
Love how you blended these two prompts! So pretty with the cute little fairy in the leaves! Thank you!! Looking forward to your next shares!
@@GwenTheTrashWitch Aww thanks 😊
I love the tree!! ❤
@@alexandrasstudio5308 my Franken tree thanks you.
Oh wow, yeah, Florida is just awful climate-wise. I went there once and the heat and humidity was like a fist every time we went outside. I like fall in New England and winter, so, so lovely. I like the cold though, really enjoy being cold outside and then getting warm especially by a fire. ^_^ As always, I love your pages! So creative but real and unfussy. This is my kind of junk journaling even though I admire all the other kinds too.
@@tempestholmes I admire more aesthetic junk journaling but I can't really do it lol. Took awhile to find my style but I am happy it resonates with you. Fall is my favorite season. I grew up in the north so I definitely miss the cold, but not the snow.
This is such a cute little journal! i have not done anything really small yet. I'm working on my first accordion style and it's.... going ok I think. LOL
@@tempestholmes Sometimes it takes a bit of patience when you try new stuff. Just keep crafting :)
Love this! I also love music pages so much! A coworker of my husband gave me 2 boxes of old music sheets and books and stuff to use!!! (I am a librarian and asked if they were getting rid of any old stuff because I did junk journals with the teens and adults this summer) Another thing I really, really like are those little vintagey, symmetrical tags that are usually yellowy-off-white and say things like "Journal" "Inspire" "Field Notes" etc on them. I find them in ephemera books pretty often.
@@tempestholmes Those are all awesome too. I was a librarian before my children were born. It was my favorite job ever. I still go there to get materials all the time.
I struggled with shade so much! You did such a great job with it! I love the use of trees for shade! And the poem works great! Well, guess what was my obsession as a teen? Poetry! I wrote hundreds of poems from age 11 till my mid 20s. I don’t write as often now, but it’s still my favorite way to communicate 😅
@@AurorasWindow Poetry definitely helped my process my teenage emotions too! It was a special interest for a while. I even memorized some of Shakespeare's sonnets.
