“Shhh…hug your trash.” 🤣🤣 Omg, Jason, your Junk Journal Adventures are pure delight. And they have quickly become an essential part of my therapy. In addition, I’m beginning to hug the loaves of bread at random bakeries across town but we all do that right? ☺️ This spread is fun and vibrant and makes me want to go hug a bunny too. Happy Valentine’s Day and Happy Lunar New Year!🧧❤🐇🐉

[@Ezeekat]

Be careful out there! I cannot speak to how emotionally supportive wild bread will be! And thank you! I'm happy to hear you enjoy these videos!

[@rerryperry]

That second camera view is perfect, feels like being part of the process, also, every scrapbook creation from you is just amazing 🤩👌 happy Valentines day 💐

[@Ezeekat]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@AshFaye]

Just call me a trash panda😂Also love that you used a Miraculous pic because Ladybug is actually French-Chinese, so all of your Lunar New Year and Valentine's Day stuff intertwined beautifully!

[@kelliharmon5339]

I love how you scrapbook. I am crafty, but not creative, so seeing you struggle helps me so much. I also have ADHD, but I have hoarded too much coloring books and yarn so I do not need another hobby!

[@Ezeekat]

Thank You!

[@rocknrollcat36]

Sorry for what I am about to say !!! There is nothing stopping you take a page from a colouring book and crating a scrapbook /journal page over and around the pictures… the Yarn would be great for little tags.. coloured in pictures could be added as stickers. All you need is a blank book to fill. Colour the pictures. Add pictures. Add yarn. Pens for text.. new hobby using old hobby items. ❤❤❤ Have fun…

[@forestmaiden]

Here is your comfy bread while I am taking care of your trash and coloring. You should hear our conversation we are having while I color and you do crafts. 😂 I love it! The sparkles where perfect touch.

[@Ezeekat]

And I almost forgot to add the sparkles!!

[@theadamcartwright]

“Do you wanna hold this trash?” I DO! And I feel so special 🥹 No but the second camera is EVERYTHING. Obsessed with these angles and getting to see your process more. The spread is GORG ❤

[@lindseyziegler9869]

I love the way you make these videos and talk to us the whole time. It's soothing and definitely makes me feel included!

[@Ezeekat]

I'm so glad!

[@LogLord454]

Love the second camera! And "Junk Journal Adventures" sound like a tour operator. I imagine something like a small ship or a bus full of chaotic creative nerds junk journaling together. 😂 Meanwhile it's driving across the country to look at it while being in the safe nerdy surrounding without engaging with normal people. 😂

[@FernandaTaLendo]

I love so much that Jaysen used a Miraculous fanart without knowing what it was 😂❤ 8:48 It was a romantic comedy...... but with MURDER 😂😂😂😂😂

[@lindaoutlawgilbow4513]

I do love the page, it turned out well. The best thing about you being on KZbin is that the spots are long enough we can hear all of your thought processes. You are a delight! It is a two-way conversation, I do talk back to you.😅 Also, do not despair about being a rabbit. My son-in-law is Chinese / Vietnamese, so I have been researching the Chinese zodiac. Some traits of the rabbit I can remember off the top of my head are witty, artistic, and ingenuous. You should research it! In the meantime, thank you as always for bringing joy to my day. Happy Lunar New Year and Happy Valentine's Day

[@jcothers1]

I wasn’t sure about all of the themes together but you did an amazing job! You should just call this Adventures that way you don’t have to box yourself in 😂. Thank you for all of the trash and the use of the emotional support bread. I love the jewel stickers! I bought the same exact stickers for my nephews because they love to make cards and stories and so I put together this big kit of supplies. My brother texted me a series of pictures the other day of how they decided to use the jewels. They were standing in the middle of the living room bejeweling each other 😂😂 just randomly sticking jewels on each other and on their clothes. Kids are always living there best lives and I love it.

[@nicolerobinson2276]

I love watching your process ❤ You make me laugh so much...just makes my heart happy! Thank you for being you ❤❤❤

[@QueenOfTheNerds515]

I love the second camera. I I like being able to watch what you’re doing occasionally

[@TheLaizyDaisy]

i loved this series on IG but these extended versions on YT are SO FUN! thanks for the content!!

[@bubblesrkw414]

Second camera is awesome. Idea for another page, either Carl is picking a few elements or you make one of things that reminds you of his.

[@heatheradams8218]

Thank you so much for this series!! I have dived back into journaling because of you!!! You always make me laugh and I’m honored to hold your trash, sir!! Lol. Looking forward to the next!!!🌸😂💖💖

[@rocknrollcat36]

You have truly embraced the junk journal / scrapbook life… absolutely love your progress through these projects..

[@kathyklocko]

I'm so excited this is out! Thank you! Also, exacto knives are fabulous for biting your fingers and getting blood everywhere so I'm team scissor too.

[@Ezeekat]

You are welcome!

[@omgitsyelhsa13]

“I’m gonna relieve you of your flower” that’s very forward of you, sir, and about 15 years too late

[@Ezeekat]

Omg I did not even think of that!!! I’m deceased! 😭🤣

[@laquitabrown9522]

This was great! When you were selecting the sticker I was yelling to stop because I saw the flowers 🌺

[@Ezeekat]

You knew exactly what I was looking for! haha

[@cynthia_h-s4353]

Love the new camera angle. And you are hilarious 😂 It turned out beautifully

[@brittanymann2713]

These videos make me so happy! They are quickly becoming my favorite.

[@mickyroop8218]

It all came together very well. I loved having those placemats when we went for Chinese. Although out of all the cool animals I am a rat. It is what it is.

[@Ezeekat]

Listen! Rats are cool!

[@alldayelong]

I just started my dream job with an amazing nonprofit, so I am definitely living my best life! ❤

[@paula_budgets8988]

I’m celebrating Valentine’s by watching you ❤ I have ADHD as well so this is like having a new hobby without buying all of the things 🤣

[@Ezeekat]

Happy Valentine's Day!

[@DarkBeauty73]

this has been a rough week and watching this video made my day. You made such a point of cutting around the dragon and the happy new year to only cut it straight across after lol, 30 year old saying he is old, try 50 years old lol

[@susan3037]

Try 75! 😂😘

[@jeanminnick9617]

You really need to show us ALL of the stuff you have bought for your journals!!! That sticker book is huuuuge!!!

[@jeanminnick9617]

Keep the trash coming. I'll add it to my junk journal stash. I'm still collecting the stash. Haven't started the journal yet.

[@ellenskelton9007]

Omg, so you were talking about thinking you were the year of the dragon, and then i realized that my birthday is in early February as well, and i looked it up and my animal is different than I thought as well!! 😂😂

[@kittytrill]

A cruel person would say that all those offcuts of paper would be perfect to use Stampin' Up punches on, but that would be another dent in your finances

[@louisemarshall-jones4165]

I think you did a fab job of this spread ! I love the sparkle as well !! ❤ your videos and you always inspire me to do some junk journaling

[@alyssataylor6473]

Thank you for the trash, I'll pop it in the recycling for you & thank you for noticing I handle trash well! It's my many years of dating that have helped with that particular skill. 😂😉😂 Yours is gorgeous.😍 I actually made one yesterday that was all the things I love & I adore it. Even though I'm not single, I wanted to do something that celebrates me & what I adore in life.🥰

[@Ezeekat]

Awww! I love that!!

[@claudiakirschner8257]

Love your videos and the way you talk to us. Am always answering you 😅

[@emmyhage8477]

No Valentine celebrations for this dragon. Although it's going to be a remambural year because I'm going to marry a snake. Love to you and Carl.❤

[@Ezeekat]

Awww! Love that! Hope your wedding is amazing

[@cuppa.books.]

These videos always cheer me up 💜

[@racheldoescreativity]

to answer your question about the first red page, the red star page is much too warm toned for your cool toned artworks. basically, it's more orange, and the art has more of a purple undertone.

[@SarahBurlingame-jf3if]

I love this series! Thank you for posting longer videos!❤

[@Ezeekat]

Thank you for watching them!!

[@SarahBurlingame-jf3if]

Yes, of course! You have gained another dragon follower 🐉

[@jessieemeg]

I feel so special 😅😊 And Hi from Sweden 🇸🇪🤗 Love your videos both here and on Tiktok!

[@Ezeekat]

Thank You!

[@TeaLoverlne]

So much fun. That turned out great. Having the 2nd camera view was fun too. Don’t feel too bad about rabbit; I’m an ox. 😂

[@liiset]

I love this so much. You do all things fun in life and I relate to the chaos between them so much. I am probably the crazy person on the other side of the screen talking back to you haha, but I was talking to you about what I would do and what I liked in what you did and it felt like riding along on the creativity train. And I felt very included by holding the sticker, trash and looking over your shoulder with the top down camera.

[@Ezeekat]

I'm happy to hear you felt included. I knew letting you hold the trash was a good idea!

[@Iris-zc1jn]

Honestly, you are living my dream life. Books everywhere, Boardgames everywhere, happily married to your partner, junk journaling and game and book stuff on camera, going to board game conventions... like only thing I wish besides that is bringing out the board games that me and my partner develop together. Perfect life. And maybe have a little store where we sell (our) boardgames and such, but also where you can playtest the board games before buying them!

[@Ezeekat]

Oh we have talked about a boardgame cafe before, but that would be SO much work! Haha

[@Iris-zc1jn]

Did I become super giddy once I was assigned to be the trash goblin and 'help you' by holding the trash? Yes. Do I need therapy? Also yes.

[@Ezeekat]

And you were the best trash goblin that trash can buy!

[@radishjuices]

I’m holding so many things! it’s stressful and I don’t know how to say no 😭

[@Ezeekat]

But you’re doing such a good job!

[@nbmcla2]

This is always a fun segment that you do. I never know what will happen!

[@Ezeekat]

That makes two of us! Haha

[@Thebeetlejuicelover]

Another great video and page! Sorry you were stressing out on what page to do next. I just did one where I covered the whole page in washi tape. It's a great way to see all the ones I have. Miraculous is a good show although tbh I didn't finish it. Love the art work though. I'm also a rabbit Also while last weekend wasn't crazy physically, I'm sure the board game convention was socially draining.

[@orava931]

This is my favorite of the ones you have done so far 😊

[@Ezeekat]

Thank You!

[@hplovinmama631]

When you were talking about thinking you were a dragon your whole life because you were born in 1988 and then found out you weren't, my heart was broken for a moment. I was also born in 1988. Dragons are my favorite. But I was born 4/26, so I made the cut to dragon. I'm so sorry you didn't. 😭 Rabbits are cute and fluffy and cool, but dragons are dragons. 😂 This is super cute and beautiful! Love it! I love these videos. It's so fun. You're also hilarious. "Hug your trash." 😂 I've started getting some scrapbook stuff off of Temu! It was so cheap and so far, pretty decent quality for what you get.

[@Ezeekat]

Yeah, the thing I like about scrapbooking stuff is that it doesn't have to be expensive. Some of the best things I've found were super cheap or free.

[@hplovinmama631]

@@Ezeekat Right! Some things are absolutely out of control. But Dollar Tree also has some great stuff!

[@mitzyalue]

I rarely post a comment on YT videos, but here I am doing it, just for you. :) First off... I love all your videos on Insta and YT. And, like you, I was born on 1988 and thought I was a dragon just until 10-ish years ago when I found out that I was born 3 days before the Lunar year.. 🤣🤣🤣Crazy... and devastating. But... I resonate to both the description/characteristics of Dragon & Rabbit, which you should too. 😜 Or.... we can be drabbits (dragon+rabbit). the mightiness of both worlds.

[@Ezeekat]

I literally was in denial about it for weeks after I found out!

[@mitzyalue]

🫨 Senpai @Ezeekat noticed me. Ikr, it was definitely hard to believe at first, especially since everywhere you go, they say 1988 is the year of the dragon. Until, boom, you're not... welp. But now we're fuzzy. And we can be fuzzy dragon rabbits (drabbits). 😁

[@julibel1982]

Love your videos and love this spread!

[@Ezeekat]

Thank You!

[@Tantan10000]

I love this

[@alldayelong]

That first red has too much orange in it, but it was a pretty pattern. 😊

[@lisathebookcat4669]

Sir I was screaming no stop too high when you were putting that corner flower bouquet thing. How did you not hear me 😂 I’m a dragon and my Husband is a Tiger crazy thing is my favorite animals have always been Tigers and he has a dragon tattoo that he got a few years before we met.

[@Ezeekat]

Listen, a lot of mistakes were made in the making of this page 🤣

[@catherineweeks5149]

I love the 2 video

[@FictionAddictions]

Lol 😂 Love it!

[@leannelothian830]

I didn't know that about the Chinese Zodiac. I am January 11 1976 and always thought I was a Dragon. Are you saying I am a rabbit? I am watching this on my lunch break today, which made it so much fun!

[@beatrizarias5169]

I love this videos!❤

[@Ezeekat]

Thank You!!

[@haleyware9962]

I would love to chat with you about the zodiac and just life in/ about Asia, I have been in Taiwan for 10 years. I love your videos and honestly, you are inspiring me to create my own content!

[@KoraRubin]

🎉

[@kittytrill]

Ah, the Chinese year, sorry to be the opposite but I thought I was a rabbit, then got told as a Jan 3rd baby I'm a tiger. 🎉

[@mcintire1555]

Well done

[@Ezeekat]

Thank You!

Am alone again this Valentines Day. My partner left me due to my chronic illness (Me/CFS) a few days before Valentines Day last year. Am still fighting strong to not letting the disease take my whole life.

[@claudiakirschner8257]

But being alone this year doesn't hurt anymore the way it did last year. Am accepting the situation, that there is no energy for meeting a new partner.

[@marielle_knows_everything6028]

You definitely have rabbit vibes 🐰

[@annpalinkas7338]

Put orange too and on the flowers or feathers area

[@craftyjo]

I'm so sorry the cat hair must have come from me, literally as you found it I was picking one off my screen 😅

[@claudiakirschner8257]

Can you do a live junk journaling?

[@Ezeekat]

I've thought about it! I'm just scared of the technical side of things Haha

[@claudiakirschner8257]

@Ezeekat I hope you find a way. I think here are many who can help out. Finally we could hold things for you live 😅❤️

[@kateworkman921]

While I'm not gonna complain if you keep the top down camera view, I prefer the way the other videos are done with it just focused on your face, and we only see the full page when you're finished. It adds to the chaos and craziness of the entire experience, and I love the way you'd go further and further into a frenzy in past videos, and we're all sitting here, wondering if it's gonna look like the chaotic mess that the video is making it seem like, and then we get to the end and see the page, and it's awesome.

[@kittytrill]

I gasped when you said you haven't watched Miraculous Ladybug and Cat Noir. What have you been doing with your life. Get onto it now.

[@kittytrill]

Omg I double gasped when you put the Butterfly heading for Marionette and Adrienne. And you don't even know the significance 😮

[@Rosemont1021]

Where. Did. You. Get. That. Shirt!

[@claudiakirschner8257]

Yea guilty, it was a hair from my cats 😂.

[@Ezeekat]

I knew it!!

[@orava931]

I didn't know that the lunar year ends in january, so apparently me and my husband both are the monkey. He's born in march 1992 and I'm born in January 1993 😊

[@Ezeekat]

Double check the date on the year you were born. Lunar New Year changes slightly every year.

[@orava931]

@@Ezeekat I did and we are the monkey 😊 it's to the 21 of January and I'm born the 18th 😊

[@feliciabravo5614]

Why am I yelling cut the white of the couple picture. My husband is a dragon and I'm a snake.

[@Ezeekat]

Hahah! I did think about that! But I also liked the way it gave them space to just be together.

[@mcintire1555]

You were exhausted because people sap your energy..

That is very true.
