I saw this and loved it last year. So much so that I have come back to it now and I am giving it a go. Wish me luck because I have broken my wrist and can only use one hand! Just can't bear not being able to craft. It will definitely be vintage and shabby!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas x

@@alisonbain1249 Hi Alison! Thank you so much! 💖I’m so sorry about your wrist! If you have a scoring board, it will make all the folding much easier. I’m sure your journal will turn out absolutely beautiful and I hope your wrist heals quickly! 🤗💕🎅🎄

I really like this junk journal and it looks like something I can make. I have a silly question.What are they used for? I think of journals for writing thoughts and experiences. Do you add note paper to the pages? Just looking for better understanding. Thank you

[@chasingpaper2022]

Thank you so much, Bobby! 🤗 I'm glad you like it! Your question isn't silly, I'm glad you asked! Writing down thoughts and experiences is definitely one way to use it. Yes, you can absolutely glue lined paper over the patterned pages (but I always make sure to leave plenty of plain white of coffee dyed pages in my journals). You can also use these for all sorts of December Daily activities and challenges - those became popular in recent years. You can write all about your year - all the important things that happened since last Christmas. This is a perfect tool for some reflection and retrospective before the New Year. It would also be great to record your favorite Christmas memories, childhood memories, favorite recipes, etc. It could serve as a devotional, a diary, a photo album or perfect to use for artistic expressions such as collages or sketches. The uses are endless! I hope you give it a try and I bet you will love it as much as I do! 😊 Happy crafting! 🤗🎄🎁
