    This is actually the perfect journal for us perfectionists to make as our first journal! It breaks that tendency to be too careful or fearful. Reckless abandon can happen! I am making one right now to hush up that critical inner wench who tries to rule my life lol! 🤍👀🤍

    You won’t believe me but iv gone back as far as it would let me,
    To catch up on your videos , absolutely binged watched you for a week.
    You are hilarious , and so easy to understand , iv not crafted for over a year ,
    and was looking for inspiration, you have buckets of it. 😝
    So thank you for the push I needed and I think I will go back to basic start my crafting journey again , I’ll be 👀👀 👍❤️

      Me Either!! I've Had to get REALLY creative... such as... Lg. Multi Colored Eye shadow pallets from $ store. Use the applicator to rub on the edges, eye liner pencils for edging... then use a Makeup sponge to blend it & rub it in.. Really good. A quick little spritz of Hair Spray over the areas where applied might not hurt to help set it. I have bottles of house paint. eve

    Shows one does not have to pay a lot of money to be creative.
    I have been collecting things for quite sometime now for the journals and ephemera that l intend to make.
    Trouble is all these things that l am now gathering are sitting there waiting for me to make a start.
    You do inspire me, so time to stop procrastinating and start doing 🙂
    Love from Australia.

I collect envelopes, junk mail flyers, wrappers, can labels, tags, torn out words from thin food boxes, produce stickers, and anything else that I know is unique and can be saved from the trash. These things make the most eclectic, funky, and colorful journals ever. Just like the McJournal!!

    Oh, Pam... do you know how many times I've looked at fast food bags & packaging and thought: what could I do with that? And then, came up with a list... but the grease stains made me toss it all! I get stuck in the "if you make something, it needs to be made so that future generations can also enjoy it." In other words, "If it's not worth doing so well it can last at least 50 years, it's not worth doing at all." Im not sure why I have this mindset =/. It's something I need to work on, and this little journal is SO CUTE.
    I can totally see something on the front cover alluding to McDonald's current catch phrase... "I'm loving it!" =D
    The flowers are CUTE! Wonky flower is adorbs & scrunched flower looked a lot like a rose! So, does the rose by another name smell as yummy as the food from whence it came? Hehehe.
    Can't wait for part 2.
    Good news, hubs brought me 3 books tonight from a stash I've had for a few years. When I first got into junk journals, art journals, etc, I went on the hunt for books - easier to use a premade cover, right? Well, we stopped at the library, cus they almost always have discards that they weren't able to sell in whatever time period they set, and just set the cart out for people to grab whatever for free! Well, I was sad, cus there was nothing that day, but like 4 little books, so I grabbed three (one was covered in mildew). I was talking with hubs about how sad it was, not really paying attention around me. Suddey, this older gentleman pops in front of me, asking if I wanted free books! His trunk was STUFFED! I still haven't sorted through my haul, and they have that musty scent old stored books get. I do remember a wide variety of things, and, when I asked hubs to grab me a fewbooks from the stash... he very happily surprised me!
    I got 3 ... i dunno how to describe it. Its's like booklets set into a tray/drawer-like thing that is the actual cover. I peeked at one pamplet, 1968. It's from the American Geographical Society, a series called "Around the World Program" by Nelson Doubleday Inc. Each "drawer" has 4-6 soft-cover booklets in it, each covering a region. The one I'm holding has the spine/"back of drawer enclosure" intact, and covers Arabian Peninnsula, United Arab Republic, New Zealand, and Lesser Antilles. Each booklet has lots of awesome pics! One of the three hard-covers/drawer things, the spine thing fell off, so I may turn that into an actual journal. One, the spine thing is well-worn & looks to be ready to fall apart, so am on the fence on what to do with it. The intact one, though, will become a cool storage thing =D (hey, why not use it like a drawer? Lol). I know there's a bunch more of these, too! I'm so excited at this!
    And now, when hubs decides to grab mcdonald's for breakfast (i think he gets tired of the usual cereal or oatmeal or grits lol), I'm gonna save the outer bag. Ack. Looks like it may be a few before I can really dig into these booklets... caden-kitty has decided its snuggle time. (She JUST started being snuggly with me, so... i don't want to discourage progress lol).
    Anyway, I was so excited, had to share! Much love! Ps, please give sunny a smoochie for me and tell Holly he had me running around the first time I heard him, cus I thought the smoke detector was glitching! I'm pretty sure he'll be proud of that lol.
    Oh yeah... Microphone, spot on. No feedback, loud enough without being overwhelming (i.e., making me adjust volume a lot). You'll get the hang of both it & your new camera in no time! Congrats on going wireless! No more fear of chopping your wire! No more getting tangled up! No more jumping up to grab something & going "oops, there went the mic!" as it flies across the room.

    I'm going to try making something out of one of those long Subway sandwiche bags

    While I love the idea of using everything in a journal, I question the wisdom of using food items. 1. Pets will eat anything that smells like food. 2. Rodents and bugs will be attracted to the same. 3. grease will turn rancid and stink after awhile. But I applaud you for trying everything!! 🥰🥰
