No matter our circumstances, I think we all can use a little of these things in our life. Focusing a journal on these things is a great reminder to do just that. Fabulous idea.
I'm in Gina! I would like to go along the journey and start my own journal with the light, love and hapiness of every moment. I'm going through a situation that is difficult for me... and I need all the light, the love and the hapiness that surround me to be strong and to remind me that not all is bad...that probably there are more good things than the ones I can see. Very inspiring video Gina! Blessings 💐🌻🎨🌈🔖📒🖌🖍🖊🗂✂️📎
YES...I absolutely NEED to take this journey with you!!! It’s a fabulous idea. I really think it would help solve my hoarding problem, in that I’d have a place to use my favorite supplies to actually help me tell my story of things that bring me joy. My head is already spinning with ideas!!! THANKS! 😊❤️🔆
I just found a Betty Crocket cookbook from the year I was born. Let’s just say vintage! I’m going to use it just for this! Thank you for sharing your heart and your creativity! Counting down the days to summer! I’m a nurse in an elementary school in Northern Ca. It’s crazy town time!
So glad you are feeling better. I just bought some neon pink paint today to have a happy bright color for my journal. I do have a mini junk journal where I write happy things and it's made from some of my favorite children's book pages. It's the very first one I had ever made. Excited to see how you have decorated yours. Be well my friend!
Yes! Sassafras I have been hoarding my kits from them for years, I loved their designs also their mix of ledger, graph and lined elements along with their whimsical designs so cute!! Thank you for reminding me I need to pull them out and enjoy them, Gina.Love how your journal is starting to take on life.
Oh my goodness I love this and the idea! Yes with my current journey in life I do need a happy place to go and I am going to start gathering to make me a journal also. By the way, you bring me light, love and happiness to my life. You are always such an inspiration💕💕
I have an old biscuit tin that I use for a deconstructed journal ,where I keep my good things journal.Its about the good things/moments in my life eg a walk on the beach , a found stone or a photo from a great day out, a letter from a friend .
Love it!! Something we all need at some stage in our lives. To remember us and what makes us who we are. I’ve definitely forgotten some of me. I think I’ll make something to remember xxxx
Oh my gosh Gina this is a fantastic idea! I'm in! The timing of this is perfect. I'm already gathering up supplies. Thank you so much for the inspiration!
I DO NEED one of these journals! I've been trying to work on my anxiety/depression and journaling does help in a way. I would love a HAPPY book. I'm gonna do this. I have things too that I've been hoarding because I was waiting for the right time to use them. Thanks for the inspiration!! 🙃
This is a wonderful idea! I have often thought of doing a gratitude journal with more of a writing focus, but it would be so fun to do a visual happiness journal too! And what a great way to use up those plastic coil or metal coil books and those old scrapbooking stickers! You are a genius...thanks for sharing! I hope you have so much light love and happiness in your life that you end up doing several of these books! :)
I love this! I recently turned an old cook book into what I call my "Happy Thoughts" journal! I'm really enjoying it. Glad you're feeling better & thanks for sharing. 😀
Thanks for sharing! I always appreciate your heart. I like the ring stamp. It makes me think of the coffee ring marks or stamps. Fun. I look forward to seeing how you use this.
Love this idea Gina. I have been thinking about something like this. I’ve been trying to figure how to incorporate things I really love from my stash that never make it to my regular journals, beautiful images, ephemera I e been hoarding, special pieces of happy mail, etc, plus whatever else I come across. Have just been slow to start. This is very inspiring! 😀 Glad you are feeling better!
I love this idea. I’ve been Scrapbooking for a couple of years but my 35 year marriage has just ended and I don’t have the impetus to do any layouts right now. I bought a notebook and have started sketching and writing positive quotes etc and I’d like to join you on this journey please. After watching your video I stuck I. the wrapping from a bouquet my son bought for me, and used some project life cards to decorate various pages. I’ve subscribed and I’m ready to go! ❤️🐞
Oh Laura, thank you for sharing your story. I am excited for you to come with me on this journey! Look for another video coming this weekend. xoxo- gina
SL was my all time fave company back in the day. I still hoard all the lines I have because I can't bring myself to use!! They are perfect for my style but I won't ever find it all again if I use it lol!
Wow, what a beautiful idea and the journal also looks beautiful!! And i'm like stunned by your artistic energy, that is like a blockade-breaker for my wall of thoughts and doubts and stuff. You do fantastic art. Thank you for sharing!! Looking forward to the journey 😊
I just had to come back to tell you that your inspiration had me putting the journal together today, similar to yours and I already added pretty things to what I’m calling my Joy Journal. Thanks for the inspiration!
Finally had time to catch up on some of your videos and WOW, this is brilliant! I have so many things that I hoard because I love them. This is a fantastic idea!!
Wow you really touched me with the last part, asking if we needed one of these journals. I seriously think I do! I cannot wait to see the flip through video to get some more inspo!!
I think I'm going to make one of my own now because this is such a neat idea!!! Also I love your process videos and I even journal a bit while watching any of your videos!!! :)
You’ve been missed! 💜 Hope you continue to feel better. Illnesses seem to be sticking around longer. Or maybe I’m just getting older. 😂 Love your journal and am totally making one this weekend. Xo
Hi Gina... can I just say I love your videos, they are so much fun. You are a fab inspiration to me and my journals. Can I just ask, your paint is so colourful and I’d like to know what you use. The make, type, colours would be so useful for me to try and source in the UK. Carry on with your inspiring video work, I love them. 😀
Hello! Thank you for being so kind! I don't usually spend a lot of money on expensive paints - I use the small bottles of store-brand craft paints. However, I do have a couple Golden Brand paints. The hot pink I used in this video is Golden Brand and I love it!!!! xoxo- gina
Hey Gina i dont normally comment here but i have a question love the idea but why not put all the stuff that brings you light love and happiness in your planner where you would see them all the time. I asked myself this a few months ago amd started doing it
Great question! You could absolutely put these in your planner. That's the beauty of junk journaling...there are no rules! I love that you pointed this out. Thank you! xoxo- gina

Thank you for reminding me I need to pull them out and enjoy them, Gina.Love how your journal is starting to take on life.
I'm in!! I started prepping a journal after seeing your cover decoration video. I just needed a journal place that has no rules, is happy, and cozy.
My scrap buddies and I are like that with our October Afternoon stashes, as well as Sassafras’s Lass! Glad you are feeling better 😊
Oh yes...Oct Afternoon, Basic Grey, Cosmo Cricket...oh the memories!
