I just LOVE my Pam at The Paper Outpost time! I had a Very Stressful week, caring for and worrying over my brother, who had went blind in his right eye, and had to have surgery. Pam gave my mind the rest it needed.♥

[@fazestorm4441]

It is so hard when family goes through these things about this time last year my brother was in the hospital and I was just sick because the year before that my younger brother just died and you go crazy and you really don't realize how much you take our minds off of things and I am praying for this lady

[@donnamatoi5256]

Great junk journal Pam! You are just a bright spot for the day! I wish I had all your energy and enthusiasm! You are the best! Hi Sunny! Have a wonderful weekend! ❤️❤️❤️

[@noreenlawlor3700]

You're a scream! Love the way you let nothing phase you when doing your journals and just go with the flow. Let's adopt that philosophy in our lives too. You have such a happy-go-lucky personality and you always lift my spirits. Keep up your quirky creativity. Best wishes.

[@diannemusson4066]

I have been watching your channel for months and I've learnt so much and I love listening to you chat ... thank you so much lovely lady

[@jbar234]

Watching you is a lovely way to start the day! Thank you for so many cute ideas, we recently had a death in the family and my son with severe autism doesn’t fully understand and I am going to make him a memory book of his grandpa with pictures to help him, so know that what you do truly inspires and matters! Thank you! And he adores Mc Donald’s fries so that made me smile 😊 💜💙🙏

[@ThePaperOutpost]

That means so much, thank you sincerely. All my best to you and your family during this very difficult time. Pam

[@susanstemmet6078]

I also lost my life partner a few months ago and my granddaughter really misses him. They both used to love eating their McDonalds together so I also think is such a brilliant idea. Wishing you and your family all the best. Thank you to Pam for this creative and fun idea.

[@CarrieRushoway]

Oh my goodness. I love your imagination. Who else would create a beach scene! ⛱️

[@riaparry7429]

I have not seen anything like this before as a brilliant example of sustainability and creativity. Plus, thank you for the nod to LorriMarie, she is an excellent mixed media artist.

[@pauletteliddell2923]

Good morning everyone. This has been fun watching Pam make this journal. She's never boring. Thanks for sharing this.. She always inspires.

I love the collaged page with the beach scene. It just shows how our imaginations work to create a whole scene out of junk. Love it 🏖

[@ritagodfrey1336]

I love watching and listening to you while I am playing at journaling. Way to go Pam

[@janeenrodgers5993]

So much fun to watch! Love the beach scene and the 4 little squares with the third one at a angle.

[@nohjuan3048]

Started my challenge journal today. My first junk journal ever. Boy did I learn a lot about constructing a book! Fast food bags, boxes and wrappers, a bakery box, receipts...

[@naturegirl7770]

I like your supply list. Gives everyone ideas of out of the box thinking for supplies. So thank you for it.

[@donnakarp3161]

You are a super inspiration to many crafters, and best part is you use what you have..thank you

[@camillefulton7709]

I think this would be a really good idea to plant the seed of crafting in a child. Go McDonalds, home to make a journal. 💜🙃 C 🇦🇺 👍Pam

[@kellys1722]

Hi Pam can you please do a video on how to make a no-sew journal? I love the way this little junk journal turned out, it's amazing how much you can do with little amount of supplies. ❤❤❤❤

[@lma1028]

Water brushes are great to use to moisten the stabilo lines. Love your junk food junk journal!

[@CherryBerry48]

aww honey mouse, that is just too cute!!

[@ColorwaveCraftsCo]

Ah, yes the “dark McDonalds” themed journal… I will venture to say you are the first to come up with that idea!! I love your videos, they give me that little spark of creativity I need sometimes 😊

[@judithanderson9727]

Using PINK ... waiting for my girlfriend to see BARBIE!!!! I love the fact that I found this a year after creation!! Lol! That's me! Tell a joke...laughter to follow in a few hours

“Branded Soil and stain”......so funny since this is all stained and soiled used paper junk journal at its finest!!!🤣

Just stopped to say the pumpkin 'booklet' is very cute in its tuck.

[@lindahutchings5394]

Incredible what a person can do with paper. Love it!

[@gkarreq2007]

I personally think you are a genius and wonderful. It's just a joy to watch your videos. Thank You!

[@mouseydeb3245]

G’morning Pam! This is a cute idea. Great little pocket journal for a junk food junkie friend. 👍 If I never learn anything else from you, I want to remember and take to heart the ideas that this craft should be fun (which is why I do it) and don’t worry and fret over every little thing (which I am doing right now and makes it not fun). Taking a break to play with cat, refill coffee, and head back to the jj trenches. 😁💕

[@susandorry6149]

So many ideas, so much trash, so much stuff, lol, going to be on it!

[@lindarogers6209]

ABSOLUTELY inspiring and FUN.. I think I will give it a go. TFS
