    This is the book that threw me into the whole junk journaling world. By accident U Tube sent me the video of you first deconstructing and building this journal. My eccentric daughter wanted books without jackets that she wasn’t going to read but loved the raw spines being lined up and displayed on a shelf. I made her one and haven’t looked back. Thanks so much for being the gateway drug that brought me into this whole world!

The older I get, I'm 60 today, the more sentimental I become and birds and bees are right up there. As someone who has worked in a library all my life, I can tell you that these days old books, especially the ones that don't get bought in the book sales end up being shredded. You/we really are preserving their lives. 🌷

    (4:20) I love the idea of decoupaging napkins with glue mixed with brown watercolor. The very first dramatization piece about books and travel was awesome (a treasure I am always looking for in videos of creative people). (8:46) When I cut corners for tags, I should also glue those off-cuts to page corners (for either décor/cohesiveness or function of tuck spots).

It's like going on a mini treasure hunt. So many wonderful, fun things to find as you search though each page. Thank you for sharing this video! It has gotten my muse very excited!! I too am a book lover, and what you've done to this book is beyond amazing.

    Thank you for your explanation about giving the book(s) a second life, because it was never allowed/able to fulfill it's first life. That eases my mind. I don't get angry at those who use maps .and books this way, but I know it would be difficult for me to do so. That is, unless I were to find a book or atlas that was not constructed or printed correctly. That was a lucky find for you!
