A NEW TRASH JOURNAL | CREATE WITH ME

A NEW TRASH JOURNAL | CREATE WITH ME
Oh, friends, you know I love collecting trash! However, I hit the point of overload and did some cleaning out today. This is going to be one of those "everything" journals. I cleaned up a huge pile of recycling and trash, and will use this book to hold things that I clean up from the workshop. Stay tuned! It's gonna be fun!
Thank you so much for watching and thank you for your support!
I am forever grateful.💕

[@abitofbirdsong]

Thank you so much, Jeanne! I’m happy to have you here! ❤️😊

[@mycrochetobsession]

I’m interested in how you removed the wine label. When I try the labels get too damaged. Please advise. Thanks.

[@abitofbirdsong]

Hi Teresa! The ones I've shown here just peeled right off the bottles. I start at the corner and pull down diagonally. That said, sometimes I can see they are going to rip very easily. I sometimes soak those in warm water for a while, or lay a wet cloth over the label for a while. Sometimes that works and sometimes the labels still tear. But oh my, alcoholic beverage labels are often the prettiest and most ornate! 🧡🧡🧡
