Wow,love this journal

Almost every kitchen had one of these or a Betty Crocker one when I was growing up. You did a great job. ❤️

When I was a kid ladies wore gloves anytime they were out. They also wore hats. In 1960 pillbox hats were all the fashion because that’s what Jackie Kennedy wore.

We dress so trashy now 😖😖 I wish we could care again.

This is on my radar to make for myself for my family's favorite recipes. :) I love all of the details you put into yours! Brilliant to turn old tablecloth scraps into journaling cards!!

[@MA-bt8il]

Love, LoVe, LOVE these! Thank you so much for sharing. You asked if we would be interested in any cookbooks on your Esty shop, and, yes, I would like to see what you have... when you settle in with your folks. I tried to find your shop and noticed it was down for now. As God reminds me, I will pray for you - tough stuff and busy time... Blessings! :)

[@sandymcclay9739]

Wish I had some of that fabric! Love these so much! Sandy ❤️

[@vintagepolkadotshop]

[@sandrasmith4361]

Hi Emily I started ordering from your Etsy Shop because you were shared from Gayle I have love every items I have brought especially the coffee dye paper it’s smell so wonderful and your extra goodies that you enclosed are so awesome didn’t know you had a you tube channel I just subscribed have a wonderful day. ,

[@vintagepolkadotshop]

Thank you so much Sandra! I'm so glad you enjoy the paper. 😁

[@robinpowell2712]

So lovely these are! Thanks for sharing. You just add so many beautiful touches to your journals. Very creative!

[@petomine1565]

Awesome journals Emily! I collect cookbooks and I just can't part with any to transform LOL I have books alll the way back to the 1800's. I also have a stash of vintage apron patterns as well as about 2 dozen already cut out in vintage fabrics. The pre-cut aprons were a find at the curb! It amazes me what was tossed when the parents passed away. Their Mom's entire craft/sewing room. My Mom & I loaded up all we could and kept the things we really liked and then donated the rest to a senior center for their crafting room. This was years ago but I still cannot part with those aprons! I did sew a couple together for my Grandma (she loves aprons) made her happy because they were like the aprons she had when she was a newlywed! lol

[@vintagepolkadotshop]

Pet Omine wow - what a find! It’s always nice when things end up where they are supposed to 😁

[@gracev9619]

OhMyGosh! I just love these, I bought an old BHG cookbook last year, to make a cookbook for myself. You have re-inspired me! So excited to have found your channel!

[@vintagepolkadotshop]

So much fun to make! I’m looking forward to making another one at some point.

[@kimrobinson5576]

these junk journals are amazing!!! love all the unique ephemera...magazines, flash cards, the rain bonnett OMG! where did you find it all?

[@vintagepolkadotshop]

That is a very good question- lots of years of accumulation. Love be all that old stuff - just can’t help myself. I mainly got it at estate sales and thrift stores and I swear some of it magically appears in my craft room 😆

[@ellyrussell6814]

Love these cookbooks!! So many awesomeness! Glad I just found your channel. Will ck out some of your previous videos, and look forward to you coming back sometime soon.😀👍

[@vintagepolkadotshop]

Thank you Elly ❤️

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

I am making a few of these. So fun! Thanks for the inspiration! My mom used to wear white gloves for shopping downtown! Fancy!😅 PS...I bought a pack of your dyed papers...not my thing...dyeing papers. I need to do it, though.🙃

[@Karen3263]

❤❤❤

[@sandymcclay9739]

Did you say you have a video of how you did the spine? Can you give us a link?

[@vintagepolkadotshop]

HI Sandy it's not a video but a blog post here's the link vintagepolkadotblog.wordpress.com/2020/07/27/journal-charms-made-from-shrink-film/

[@lindsaynichols3175]

Did u say? Where’d u find a five hole puncher? Or paper for it?

[@vintagepolkadotshop]

I punched the holes one hole at a time. It sounds bad but I just made a template. I worked on one page at a time punched as I went instead of doing them all at once.

[@gilmoregirls1234]

Did you take out the plastic that was around the binder rings? I recently got a binder cookbook like is and there is plastic around the binder rings

[@vintagepolkadotshop]

Hi Chelsea - I know what you are talking about but I can't remember. I think I left it in and cleaned it but I'm not sure. Sorry

[@sandymcclay9739]

Can you link the shrinky dink video here please?

[@alvinaglatt163]
