This is the best! I figure it's not comfortable for you to show us how the sausage is made, but for those of us who struggle with perfection and being good enough, this is wonderful! Thank you for sharing your process, the easy flow and the challenging obstacles. Seeing someone wrestle with dead ends to make something new gives me permission to try again or change direction. It would be great if I didn't need it, but that's a different conversation. I'm glad you are willing to share.

[@emmkaa2099]

Perfectly worded! Thanks

[@dcs1414]

"even in our darkest days we can still make something from our stuff" You make me laugh but also speak the truth. I absolutely love this project. I didn't think there was anything that would redeem this pile of pages but you did it. Thank you for your persistence and teaching. ☺️❤️

[@letha57]

It’s the dark days when I need my crafty stuff the most. Even if I don’t manage to actually make anything.. just handling the paper, playing with the ink, paint, glue, Etc. just brings me peace.

[@kjmav10135]

I just realized the beauty of the ordinary, everyday, green hanging folder.

[@cathyyoung1165]

This is why we watch you. You show us how to move forward, try to stretch our imagination. You are very talented! I don't know if you realize that you give us confidence to move forward. It's I only paper, but we want to be successful at what we are doing. Thanks Pam!

[@rosarieramon1081]

Pam, great Save! As Bob Ross would say, "We don't make mistakes. We have happy accidents." Love it!🥰 Sunshine, you're adorable 🥰

[@debbiejones3247]

I got the biggest thrill and kick out of this entire video! You are a true crafter! I watched from the edge of my seat as you turned this into the very cutest address book for happy mail! I'm learning so much from you and enjoying your humor!

[@nancyb1605]

I would use it as a flower press Pam, just a thought 🥰, because it’s so darn cute and compact ❤️

[@shaylamunoz5058]

You truly can make something out of nothing. What a great video and challenge! Thank you for showing us that even our imperfections in crafting can be “perfect”.

[@lisamills9337]

Pam, this was fabulous and I cracked up laughing when you wrote Sally Pants on Paper Pile Way! I moved from "our" town in Florida to Las Vegas. I'm so glad I can still see you and Sunbun! Thanks for all you do, your creativity, and your awesome sense of humor.

[@Tink70]

Pam: "There are just certain things in life that cause pain and measuring is one of them" That needs to be on a shirt. I blame the parent of measuring called Math 😊 Have a Great Weekend!

[@jmsl910]

funny!

[@pauletteliddell2923]

What a save. A real trash to treasure. Good going Pam. You did it.👍. Hi to all the family.

[@binaalmilli7216]

This was so amazing to watch nothing turn into something ❤️❤️❤️ Pam thank you so much 😊

[@kelseyjones4031]

I almost yelled "pocket!" when you glued the inside flap down. Great project! I may make several to hold ephemera and noter to make into sample pages.

[@mouseydeb3245]

Good morning Pam! 💕 I enjoy videos like this because it lets us see that projects do not always go well right off the bat. It encourages us to slow down, think, and in the end no panic necessary (my greatest weakness) as we’re only playing with glue and paper. If the fix works, great! If it doesn’t, the moon will not crash into the sea, the world continues on its axis, the sun rises tomorrow and we carry on. Enjoyed this! Hope all is well at the Outpost. You sound as if you’re battling a cold. Take care. 🤗

[@denisestreitman3916]

Oh my heavenly orb, you crack me up. If I didn’t know better I would swear you had a camera in my craft room and were videoing me dealing with a mess. It seems like the harder we work/struggle with a problem the worse we make it. I love it and you, you make my day! And thx for the thought you planted in my imagination of YOU being a gassy girl. Luv luv luv it

[@dakielty]

What a great idea for saving happy mail addresses. I’m lazier thank you though. I think I’ll just cut off the labels and glue them down. This would be fun to save the addresses from Christmas cards too. You could have each year gathered together. Great idea, Pam.

[@lalagamma4452]

I guess you could say this is seriously from trash to Treasure! What a wonderful little project. Namesta 💓🐞💕

[@kathylussier3633]

Oh Pam!!! Thank you for your beautiful personality!!!!!! You made my day. Love the idea of making a project out of a bluebird

[@carolpickering7004]

Great idea Pam. The only thing I'd add in one I'd make would be alpha tabs so you could be REALLY organized! It would make a great gift for anyone!

[@peggymountain2713]

Pam you are such a joy to watch and listen to. We have the same thought processes. I totally enjoyed watching the real nitty gritty of paper crafting, because it doesn't always go as planned. Love your work 😍

[@kellylea3575]

Fabulous little book. Love watching it come together.💞

[@lorrainew6404]

SAVE! Pam for the win! What a great save. TFS Pam

[@loriwetmore620]

Good morning, Pam!❤️🌟❣️ I look forward to your videos and enjoy them greatly every time! You and Sunny never disappoint! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!❤️🌟❣️Lori

[@831Miranda]

The size and shape of this reminds me of a Midori style traveler's notebook! I think it can be treated as a regular junk journal by removing some of the original pages whenever it gets too fat!

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

that came out wonderful Pam - what a challenge - well you won lol - i remember doing something like this with larger magazines - we would use it to create fun art journal pages as well as glue book pages - thanks again and be well - kisses to Sunny xx

[@misskit866]

I loved watching this get beautiful. Reminds me of 19th century pocket calendars, a plain record of what you spent, where you went, the weather. Thanks, Pam!

[@mindsetcoachingwithgenelle]

OMG 😃 I love your videos Pam 😁 the struggles of a crafter I can relate and I honor and respect how authentic you are. Many blessings to you and anyone who reads this message ❤️

[@SilverCrowTarot]

We want to see the struggle and creative genius at work! Well, at least I do. I have a Birdseye view of a new creation. How awesome is that?! More, more, more prototype videos, please! I credit you and Nik the Booksmith for my newfound hobby. Thanks! Oh, and I love Skinwalker Ranch! Give Sunny a hug from me and a sniff from my little mini poodle Kiki. 😊

[@chellebcreations4358]

I love this idea! You could use the little mini address labels for “abc” dividers. Maybe save the return addresses from your packages with the senders info and just glue those in too. I want to make one to hold ephemera for traveling. Maybe make the back a bit bigger to use as a flap and add some material to the top and bottom like an accordion file. Now, where’s that book I just had. Wonder how long this is gonna take, lol.

[@pclouse07]

I LOVE THE COLOR AND SIZE…and I see, in my mind’s eye, a TRAVEL JOURNAL! It’s exactly the right size to tuck in a messenger or carryon bag! I’m going to make an epic FAIL travel journal! Love this “fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants” technique! I’ve got mine done! I just need to do the inside pages. I think I will cover them with old maps! I’ll post a pic on the Facebook group! 🥰

[@terricolberg4636]

Hi Pam…you are so fun to watch and amazing what you do with anything! Love this slim rebirth for lists 👌‼️👌 It looks like you planned it every step of its unfolding/ or folding 😜 You have a real treasure in a book now! Plus the glimpses of Sunshine is such a treat for all🥰 thanks for sharing😉‼️💚

[@annabellethedoll]

Good morning Pam, Sunny and Holly!! 🌧 Hope yall are having a great day. Thank you for showing us some problem solving techniques. I love Skinwalker Ranch!!

[@RColleen1]

Even your "whoopsies" turn out so great! Way to play!!!

[@nanascraftingcottage3620]

You have a lot more nerve than I do to show the challenges you went through with this new project. Good for you! Love what you came up with, thank you for the inspiration. 🥰

[@catcauldron217]

Oh my goodness!!! I can’t believe I watched the whole video. The precious little pup at the end was my reward. Thank you 🙂

[@elizabethlampi7667]

I’m at 30 minutes in and your looking at stickers. What popped into my mind was this. First what a fantastic idea ❤️❤️❤️ Second I tear the addresses off envelopes from mail I receive and loosely tuck them into an ancient address book I have… is it possible one could combine just glueing these torn addresses directly into the book as well as stickers to right addresses on if they are from a package … hmmm 🤔 well of course one could as journaling has no right or wrong way. Thanks for your video not only have you inspired a place to put ephemera in a previous video but you’ve also inspired another way to repurpose books. 🤗

[@karmaleenash2841]

Yes! I thought the same! Love this little journal so much!

[@karmaleenash2841]

Somehow this turned into one of my favorite journals. Love the size and grunge of it all! Now I need to make one! Thanks as always for the inspiration! 💗💗💗

[@kellyratliff3473]

Pam you did an awesome job on reworking and making anew what you thought was a flop. I would love to hear from you sometime. Thank you 😊

[@angelaturton]

Dear Pam…. It does my heart good to hear you thinking out loud and talking to the papers etc….I’m not the only one…😁😁

[@carolekinsey7835]

What a lovely surprise that book turned out to be Pam. I loved this idea very much indeed. I also thought the look of this new treasure was so effective. It looked old and well used...well loved. That waxing with the bronze was a final fabulous finish. I'm sure I'll be having a go at this. Thanks for some lovely inspiration, 😂 and a giggle. Sunny is such a sweet poppet. Sleepy head. Zzzz x

[@morninglory576]

I love this! I really appreciate your willingness to show us your process. I'm encouraged to have fun in the midst of my mess! You are the best! 😊

[@michellejanossy8186]

Good morning everyone! Serendipitous outcomes are the best! 💕 Great job Pam! 🥳

[@MsOhsusanna]

Seriously! I think it's a great idea and not a mistake at all. Thanks 'Pam clever pants'

[@robinburdette7201]

Any of the folded pages could be divided into pockets, just by cutting the tucked flap portion into sections, trimming edges and gluing different sides! That way some could be top loaded and some side loaded from the middle of the open book! You could also resold two consecutive pages to open from middle of book to outside for a large spread. I’m thinking that would be great to mount drawing or watercolor paper on for travel sketches. You inspire me!

[@elizabethroyko7124]

It’s helpful and great to share a problem-solving process! It’s a FAIL! First Attempt In Learning, that we all experience! Thanks again, Pam! P.S. Did you get my message/inquiry on your Etsy?

[@lydian8]

What a great reframe of such a scarey word. Love it!

[@susanknight53]

Thank you! My daughter and I just found you. I'm looking for a different crafty art project to try. You have inspired me! Today, we had a good laugh and it was wonderful to find someone else who thinks and works like we do. These 'happy little accidents' are great teaching more than performing polished presentations!

[@melissabevington8799]

Laughed my arse off Pam! Not laughed this much since,”Someone got a haircut” video.

[@LiveLoveLinger]

I was hoping that you would tear the addresses out and glue them on the pages. It would be fun to see all the different writing styles. But you might already have a boatload of addresses, so I could see that might be difficult to fit in your lovely little salvaged book!

[@trixie1556]

Love seeing your process. I think its helpful to see mistakes being made. We can all learn from them. I fold all the pages of a hard cover book and decorated the inside book covers. It lays on it spine on my table fanned out and i put my daily mail in it. Will be making another to hold ephemera bits and pieces. I like how you made this. Can be a traveling ephemera holder. Just washi tape the sides of two pages and make pockets. Love your vids!

[@minkademko2335]

Great little address book! Very pretty ❤️ Thanks for entertaining me during my morning coffee. You are my muse!

[@LeeLeeCreates]

What an amazing turn around!! This is an incredible use of an oops. You are the most creative person I know!!

[@bette-annflood835]

Such a great idea. Makes me want to make one with the other half of my book I used to make my Rolodex!! I just used half book cuz it was so many pages. Lol TFS

[@chuckylea]

It's so very cute, BUT you have to put alphabetical tabs on those pages. Otherwise you'll be flicking through for years looking for those addresses. LOVING the books :)

[@monicasenglishteachingnook5751]

What a great video!!!! Thanks!! This is real crafting. You're really awesome!! I absolutely love that book!!💕💕!😍😍💖💖🙌🙌

[@paperpuddles1805]

I don't know if you read any of these comments so I'm not going to get too mushy or sentimental. Love what you did! 🌹

[@dedepyle7046]

Hi Pam and fellow crafter. I just received my tshirt today. I cannot wait to wear it!!! Now I'm mass making paperclips and clusters as I watch this video. Pam, YOU ROCK WITH ALL JUNK AND FAILS INTO SOMETHING WONDERFUL!!!

[@theyarewalkingamoungus8680]

This is a great way to preach the gospel of the Lamb. I'm recycling now and Im new to all this . Thank you for your time

[@jacquelinetasik8778]

Love the way you can turn a mistake into a beautiful book

[@lindarogers6209]

Girl, girl. You never seize to amaze me. You are so much fun. Love what you did. TFS

[@ThePhsmomx3]

Nice “save”! I love tall narrow journals. Super cute.

[@joanfriant211]

I think it's a very cool address book!

[@donnakarp3161]

Pam, your so inspiring, you make something from nothing.. fun thank you

[@starschloneger958]

Skinwalker Ranch, it's kind of creepy! Is it a portal? Instead of shooting up rockets they should shoot up junk journals to whatever that orb is that appears. So instead of scaring people and making them faint "they" can catch the junk journal bug and junk journal until the cows come home and leave animal and humans alone. Lol.

[@cseedbead8180]

Skinwalker Ranch was great. I look forward to more info... I love these type of shows. This vid was very interesting. I didn't see what the pages were supposed to be used for. T.Y. 👏👏🤗

[@ajsinspiredlife665]

Love love love watching ( and listening) to you actual process! Yes I am redoing my happy mail book also… always evolving … can’t quite get a perfect system… but this idea looks like it will be awesome !!!

[@lindasueplantsforyou263]

What an awesome idea. Great save Pam. I really enjoyed this. And I happen to have a ton of the old green folders. I think I’ll try it. 💕💜💕💜👍

[@martarivera2248]

For not knowing what you were going to do with it in the beginning, this turned out fantastic. Love what you turned it into.

[@flowerchild777]

Was anyone else talking to Pam while she was re-creating this? Oh, just me?😕

[@momof2n8993]

You could also just use the return address label with the address on it, ( happy mail) letters ECT. That's what I do in address books

[@pamschmidt138]

Love it! Pam, you could open the pages for notes on the mail you receive.

[@gloriaskipper1691]

Oooo I like! I just may have to make one of these Pam! I was struggling for you! Just know I’m here for you! 😂😂😂

[@donnaswisher8408]

Are you sick? Your voice sounds like you are. Cold? Allergies? Take care. Journal or address book, the extending pages will provide lots of space. I took a 300+ page book and made a tower type holder.i just let the spine curl into itself and glue it to a small diameter down. I cut the dowel about 3 inches longer for a handle to pick it up with. (My son said it looked like an air filter 😆) It is get for holding longer pieces (like envelopes) Yes! I watch Skinwalker Ranch. In the process of learning our new TV systems so I've missed some episodes but I'll catch up on it. TFS Regards to the menagerie and Papa too. Hope you all have a great day. 🌞

[@elizabethroyko7124]

You could also use it as a Birthday or special day book!

[@captgray2000]

Skin Walker Ranch is fascinating! Your process is fun to watch! Thanks, Pam!

[@denisestreitman3916]

YOU ARE A MIRACLE WORKER

[@phylliswilliamstn]

It looks like important papers from the saddle bag of a Pony Express rider.

[@cathlynballard8409]

I absolutely loved this video. And, no swear words! I am sooooo impressed!

[@happymailmagic]

I actually think this turned out absolutely Awesome! I love it!!!

[@lindahowe2293]

Well, that was fun and very educational at the same time! Bravo! for making the save!!

[@laurieweatbrook5020]

Today was great for snorting laughter!!!! Love this idea!

[@emmkaa2099]

OK, this is SO cool! I made the accordion thing yesterday - I had to go to the Dollar Tree to get a book, so I was delayed by a day - but now I want this, so perhaps it's back to the DT for another book. ...hey! ...idea... If you have any secret notes pertaining to the individual in your address book put a star by the name then make the note inside the flap - the star will indicate there's more info inside. Even in the face of adversity you remain a rock star! Love ya Pam, MK ♥️🤗🏜🤗♥️

[@shawnrobinson6718]

What a handy idea!! Also I must admit the struggle is real ( lol I thought it was just me). Always a joy to watch you:))

[@evelynhughes951]

Enjoyed this very informative video! Such a cute little book also, so many possibilities here.

[@denisestreitman3916]

Those Avery stickers hold well on their own, no need to reinforce

[@debbieharper4771]

Thanks so much for this video. Love to see a PROFESSIONAL take a boo boo and make it into something useful! And we watch Skinwalker Ranch. It’s been very interesting!!! Can’t wait to see next season.

[@colleenandmark]

This turned out wonderful, enjoy filling it in. Blessings from Colleen nz.

[@jjournaldiva]

If the label is to long you could make a tab at the edge to alphabetize the addresses and have a handy tab for flipping through.

[@sandranorth0009]

Great save Pam! It looks very classy. I would hv just chopped it in half horizontally, stuck the two bits together and bingo a mini ephemera holder! But what you made is much nicer Xxx

[@sueleblanc2152]

Sometime our mistake turns into a great idea. Thank you Pam. Great idea

[@suzettefaircloth5037]

I've been listening to buckeye bigfoot. she's got a lovely calming voice like you. I was never a bigfoot believer until I listened to her KZbin channel.

[@katherinetwilliams4254]

Thanks for sharing the process. Love the creating!

[@WasteSomeTimeWithMaggie]

Fabulous make, When I was young we had books like this to hold our swaps in tfs Pam...Kia Kaha...

[@lorifitzgibbon3085]

This turned out cute! With one of your emphemra portfolios it would make a great travel junk journal or a beginner one. Add some pockets, etc. and it's a nice gift.

[@tlcc1690]

Hi Pam. Good morning

[@kaycfox3013]

Hi Sunshine!! So nice to see you! And good save Pam!! almost rolodex! very nice

[@annalouisewoods6278]

You are great to watch ! Thank you!

[@laracraft82]

We all learn through our mistakes even in craft so good in you for not giving up 😀👍 We like homous with sliced carrots is nice try it if you like. A good save on the journal well done.

[@heathersullivan8494]

Well that turned out awesome! Who knew? I really love it. You are a great teacher Pam. It’s just paper right? Have a super day. I’m off to create with reckless abandon!!

[@JenniferSWalker]

This turned out super cute. Now I kinda want to make one on purpose!!

[@janekrut2799]

Wow! Great save.
