I have clinical depression and u r like my friend keeping me laughing and I'm forgetting about it. Me and my dog Roscoe watch u every day and then watch the old videos . I just want to thank you Pam for being ur genuine self and not listening to the haters. Lol you have helped me so much.

[@karmaleenash2841]

Many of us find Pam medicinal! Good soul food! My anxiety and depression find solace also in Sunny’s lovely chats with us! 🦋🦋🦋

[@cynthiat6505]

I was reading the comments and what struck me is the phrase ‘your genuine self’. Perfect description of you. Your artistry is what brought us here, but your humor and terrific conversation with us is what brings us back every time. You are loved! You make us all feel as if we’re your friends. Blessings!

[@Homegrownstandards]

Love Sunny’s time.. sometimes I have to remind myself its not him talking 😂😂😂😂 Have you ever thought about writing? I love the way you bring everything to life ,your imagination is wonderful.. thank you for letting us spend time with you !

[@lisahannon6465]

I visited a daughter out of town last weekend and filled my vintage train case with goodies to make some altered paperclips while away from home. My goal is to do something creative every day. A plus was that since I was limited in my materials, away from my studio, I didn’t waste time searching for all the available stuff in my art room!

[@jmsl910]

ooh fun! i made the same goal for 2023! so far so good

[@KatheD]

What a great idea

[@jenndotson6718]

I love making “little portable kits” to take with me on the go!

[@secondversepaperstudio]

Re: your fabric storage woes -- Granted, you probably have WAY more fabric than I do, but I had to get creative when a quilter friend of mine gifted me a huge bundle of her offcuts for journaling. I found that if you put fabric in gallon freezer bags, you can press the air out when you shut the bag, and then store them upright in a drawer or bin like you would folders in a file drawer. It makes finding what you're looking for SO much easier! I organize by color, and then in a few of my colors where I have a TON, I go further and keep different types/patterns together so the bags don't get too fat. So if I need green fabric for a journal, I flip through the drawer until I find my greens, open up and take out what I want, and then seal it back up again and slide it back into the drawer. If you lay your fabrics offset just slightly the first time you put them in the bag, you'll be able to see all the patterns in your bag without even opening it!

[@christybower]

This is such a good idea. Thank you for sharing. I will try this!

[@lindabarnett7653]

Another Friday - made special by getting to watch Pam create and Sunny give us a few words of wisdom! :-)s

[@scrappysoulsister]

I am so glad I found your channel! I love how you use silly voices and listening to you is like listening to a friend 😊. You have encouraged me to not worry about perfection and just do the thing😂 Thank you for your videos!!

[@LeeLeeCreates]

Morning Pam and all my Paper Outpost friends. Friday is my favorite day to wake up early and start my weekend with coffee and craft chat. I am truly enjoying all this fun with fabric I have some trouble with my signatures staying in tightly after I do the pamphlet stitch. Help! What can I do about my loose signatures?? PS. I was also not given patience when it was being given out I am extremely excited to see the fabric giveaway. What fun! Y’all have a great weekend!❤

[@kathyduer7108]

Never a dull moment with you Pam. I enjoy each and every video. When i first started watching I thought Sunny was a puppet. Didnt have my glasses on. 🤣

[@jenndotson6718]

Omg, me too! He didn’t move at all in the very first video I saw so I thought he was a stuffed toy! Then he blinked!!! 😂❤

[@JunkyCatJunction]

Hi Pam! I received my fabric pack on Tuesday. AMAZING! And the little extras were precious and so thoughtful. Thank you!!! I encourage anyone who can to get one when they’re available, you won’t be disappointed! 😊

[@sindywilson9830]

Waiting patiently for my name to pop up to win a treasure trove of goodies, and learning lots of tips while I wait. Lol. Thank you Pam, for all you teach us.

[@debbiejones3247]

I love using fabric in my journals! My favorite way is using as a pocket. Currently I'm on the hunt at thrift stores to find lace so I can coffee/tea dye. Pam, you have taught me so much! Making junk journals helps me overcome my OCD!

[@beyesh3760]

Wow Fabric Bundle/scrap packs would be Awesome. I would be happy with either one paper or fabric as I could utilize both without any trouble. Still waiting for the fabric Bundles to drop again LOL. Glad you and Sunny have been well and hard at work cutting material and Crafting. :) All of us sewing have what we call scraps too. We used them for quilts just like are other materials. Depending on the quilter depends on how small of scraps they keep to use after a project. Love how the paperclip came out with you using the fabric this time. Awesome as always.

[@angellove2911]

I would love to see you make really colorful jj items, even a whole journal💖 I love everything you make!! Kiss the furry/feathery kiddos for me!!

[@jenndotson6718]

Pam has a playlist (or five) in her channel about making journals and the series show the whole process. I just love the one from last January/February! (Image is a red book cover called Heart Throbs)

[@angellove2911]

@@jenndotson6718 yes I've watched her for awhile but never have seen a whole colorful journal, not just the cover and a few pieces here and there but totally filled all the colorful things...using ALL my oxides....I love color most, just warming up to the antique/browned look...I'm trying to marry the two in my work, and I love Pam's ideas💚💚💚

[@kayeganann5237]

I love the fact that you for the most part use "junk". Thank you for showing us how to use everyday items to create ephemera and junk journals. Happy Friday!!

[@ifade2black2]

I love your channel! You have so much inspiration for me. I’m thrilled there are so many to watch. You’re very relaxing and I just love listening to your banter. Sunshine is so precious. ❤ also I love the little voice you give him lol. Keep doing what you’re doing! It’s wonderful.

[@barbaranoble9748]

I love these altered paper clips made with fabric! Really very cute and so easy! I so enjoy watching you Pam and for giving sweet Sunny a voice! So cute! As always thank you for sharing! Hope everyone is doing well!

[@lenoralanduyt3395]

Pam, you amaze me all the time. You can take small pieces of different things that normally would not be friends, put them together and make something cute and beautiful. You are so creative and a true inspiration to many, especially me. Have a wonderful day crafting!!

[@debhat]

Morning Pam! I've been making junk journals for two years and, except for some of the covers, I never used fabric or lace in any of them. Can you imagine? But now, working on my first Little Golden Book, I'm finally using fabric clusters, ruffles and even lace! I know! So thanks for the videos on using fabric...as always, your videos seem to be there right when I need them. And even though I have quite a stash of fabrics built up (because I haven't used much in two years of collecting), I would love to win some of your scraps! Hugs and cheers to you and the fam from Denver CO!

[@sweetscraftin3843]

I love when you are making the paperclips. Actually just love everything you do! You are so fun to watch! Love Sunny too he is so dang cute! Have a great week Pam!

[@TheMisfitJournalMaker]

Been making altered paper clips just cause of you. They are so fun. I love all your videos and ideas. I'm learning so much and you and sunny make me laugh lot.

[@joannegoodwill6988]

Always love to see what you are making. Plus you always make me have a good old laugh & have a smile on my dial. Thanks for bring fun & non perfection into my life...😁

[@hildapederson8174]

Scrappy fabric AND scrappy paper?! Whoohoo! Congrats to the winners, hello to all the subbies from Alberta, Canada. Scritches behind the ears to Sunbun! Take care, Pam!

[@jenndotson6718]

Hi Hilda! I grew up on the west coast of the US, and when I was fifteen/sixteen, we drove up through BC and Alberta. Stood on a glacier! Washed my hands in glacier water. BRRRRR 🥶 My cousins live in Kamloops BC. I now live on the east coast (for twenty years now) and STILL have not been up to Montreal. Silly me… 😂 so hello from NH!

[@lindadubey2041]

I save everything, even thread snips. Put them all together to make beautiful paper clips, snippet rolls, etc. I surprise myself everytime

[@lynnettecape9688]

Hello Pam. Have you ever used velvet to make a journal cover? And how do you emboss it? Thank you so much for all the friendly help and inspiration. I love your channel!

[@barbkniess3985]

These videos always make the start of a great Friday. Going to an auction tomorrow that has lots of paper ephemera, super excited!!

[@judyhilleges7306]

Hi Pam ! I am a recent widow after 59 yrs . I so look forward to your videos and have started scrapbooking again to occupy my time. I am new to junk journals and you are a great help. Thank you,Sunny,Holly and the lovebirds for making my days bright.

[@tammyakin7498]

Happy Friday morning Pam and fellow paper enthusiasts!!! Always look forward to these Friday videos and learning new ideas.

[@lisamendoza-rodriguez1968]

Good morning Pam . I am grateful for everything you share! Also, out of nowhere you have me laughing so hard! (It feels good to laugh / to be happy) Blessings to you and your family.❤🦋❤️🦋…

[@catherinegumm2162]

Me too, I have clinical depression and I watch Pam so that I have a friend to laugh with. Me and my dog Roscoe watch her over and over

[@bonniepreston1052]

Thank you, Pam, for another wonderful time;)

[@sueleblanc2152]

I was watching a few videos the other day. It was cool because these journal makers were using your Digital kits. Paper families all over the world. Keep warm Pam n Sunny

[@48juicegirl]

I have found your video of the soft fabric cover and made one. It turned out so nice! Thank you for chance to win some fabric scraps too!

[@number1nanaof2]

Good morning Pam and Sunny! What a way to wake up... a cup of mocha and The Pam and Sunny Show! 😊 I love these altered paperclips. I can see how it would be relaxing while watching the tube. Congratulations to today's winners. Hope is eternal...👍🏻🙏🤞🏻 😊 Thank you for sharing. Sending hugs and belly rubs to Sunny. It's alway a good day when we see him. 🥰 ❤ 🙏

[@lauraharmon659]

I love that fabric with the pink flower!

[@WoodlandInspired]

Happy Friday Pam & Sunbun💕 Love your scrappy fabric bits and thanks for the craft & chat. Cleaning up my space today, then picking a project to finish up. Congratulations to the winners! 😍 Hope you have a fabulous weekend, take good care! Hugs! 🤗

[@lammilee1]

So cool how you make something beautiful out of next to nothing! So many great ideas! It does help to have some scraps available, of which I am slowly amassing! You and Sunny are a bright spot in my day! 🥰💖

[@lindasparks7131]

As much as I love working with paper I love fabrics! The textures and colors are so fun to use!!

[@sherryliberto6749]

Congratulations to the winners. Thanks for sharing your ideas. Have a super fantastic day 💗 Sherry

[@wendymanning9617]

Loved my fabric bundle. Thanks for brightening my Friday mornings before I have to go to work.

[@dmw5780]

Adorable ideas as always!!

[@teresafoote6934]

Hi Pam! I really enjoy your videos. I'm curious about how many hours you put in every week doing all aspects of your junk journaling business. It has to be a large amount, and you always seem to be so happy. I can tell you love what you do! ❤️

[@perfectlyimperfectbooks]

Love that you're sharing scraps. Some of those can be gold

[@rubyputnam8526]

Thank you Pam for more creative inspiration and humor. You said that you can sit and create altered paper clips all day. Well I could just watch you create them all day. It's nice to wake up on a Friday and have coffee and watch your latest craft chat. I've collected enough fabric now to finally be able to make altered paper clips along with you.

[@niyaabhilash7278]

Really liked those fabric embellishment ideas...❤️

[@lindasparks7131]

Was so happy to remember today was Friday and Scrappy chat day! I love the idea of making altered paper clips with fabric. You never run out of ideas! How fun to give away fabric scraps and paper scraps! A simple question, how do you keep your glue bottles from getting clogged? I’ve tried everything I know but they still get clogged. What’s your secret?

[@doreethorpe4800]

Congrats to the winners! I love the scrappy fabric paperclips, need to make some. I try to store my fabric in bins, preferably clear. I fold the fabric to the meet the height of the box and put it in so that you can see folded edge of each piece and it is easier to pull out the one I want. And maybe even get it back in the same bin when done. You do have to have enough to fill the box or make a spacer to hold the fabric upright.

[@nancyhansen8505]

There is something about making things from "nothing" meaning leftovers etc. So much fun!

[@lindamaynard9404]

My granddaughter was staying with me for 5 days. She is 14 yrs old and she made her first junk journal! She was over the moon excited. I showed her how to make altered paper clips and she thought they were so cool. Thank you Pam for giving so much inspiration ❣️

[@Trisha01]

So enjoying all of these fabric items you can make with the fabric scraps and can’t wait to start making some for myself ❤

[@lloydg8273]

Thank Pam. You and Sonny always bring a smile to my face. Happy crafting!

[@stacylinn3102]

Gd morning Pam and Sunny 😊 I really loved these paper clips! I know what I will be doing this wknd at my family's house! Sunny's little face always makes me smile 😅

[@dawnjewel9311]

The heart and flower paperclip turned out so well!

[@knottiegirl27]

I'm super new to junk journalling and paper crafting. Adding fabric scraps looks like an awesome way to put more texture into my projects. I love watching your videos; I learn a lot. Also your pup is adorable.

[@rhondadorst3553]

Congratulations, Michelle, what a GREAT win. I imagine Pam's scrappy fabrics are AMAZING!!!!

[@avayonthorp8086]

I absolutely have gotten addicted to watching and learning from you, Pam. I have a bad back and am very limited on what I can do. When I found your channel, it was perfect timing.

[@craftymouse]

Pam I just love your channel . Love seeing Sunshine and hearing Hollywood and your lovebirds, as well. Thank you for always providing such great inspiration, no matter what you are working on. Be blessed.

[@alicenenigar843]

Thanks to you I have been on the hunt for Braille paper. Last week I was in a small thrift store and there before my eyes an entire book on braille. I was doing the happy dance in the aisle of the store.

[@debbiebreen6276]

Thankyou pam for the paper clip clusters just love these, I sat and made 100 of these whilst watching tv, love your creative ideas,

[@naturegirl7770]

You are the kindest. This is why I’m drawn to your channel plus all the skill you share and encouraging all to use what they have.

Thank you Pam! 💕💕 So much fun!

[@catelarson7343]

I have been enjoying using so many of your ideas to put into my junk journals. I can't wait to try adding the paperclips into them.

[@dmw5780]

I love your videos! I've watched most of them several times. You have a gift! Thank you so much!

[@susanwilliams5524]

They are all so creative, Pam. Thank you. Hi sunny-woof ❤

[@conniehoelscher4591]

Love making paper clips. So awesome. I also love our time with Sunny! Makes me smile and laugh! A feel good moment! Hugs Pam!

[@sundayze]

I am currently reorganizing my craft space and plan to cut my fabric into usable squares and put them in gallon bags. My mother in law gave me a lot of fabric, so it all came in at once and I am overwhelmed. The bulk of it will go into bins to be stored in the garage or closet. I love the fabric touches on pages and ephemera. Your paperclips are adorable, Pam❣

[@joanncarpenter4781]

Love all of your altered paper clip ideas!! Sunny is the best. Just love him!!!❤️❤️

[@helengibson8196]

Thank you Pam for always being so genuine. I love these chats 🌷

Watching your crafty contest every Saturday for breakfast. Perfect start for the weekend. 😊

[@JessicaGarcia-iy9si]

I’m very excited to find out that we now have two ways to win on these videos! I love buying scrap fabric from the thrift store but I can never have enough. It would be icing on the cake to win one of these fabric scraps craft chats ❤

[@petriekaspardlov7787]

How fun to add fabric scraps ! I purchased one of the fabric packs and love it 😍 already making great use of it 💕

[@joannevennker4390]

From you I have learned that when a mistake happens to just let it go and go with the flow because mistakes can add character. Love this process, thank you.

[@virginiafleming18]

I love to add a watercolor painting or drawing that I make to have a piece of art from me as well in my books. Do you or anyone else do something like that and if so what do you do?

[@scrappysoulsister]

I use my practice watercolor paintings and usually cut them up and use them or use the ones that don’t turn out so great and they end up looking nice in a journal and no one knows they were mess ups 😂

[@lindasparks7131]

I found a good way to store my fabric which makes them easier to find. With larger pieces I wrap them around pieces of cardboard (I cut the flaps off of boxes) then I stack them upright so that I can see all the pieces and pull out what I want. I’ve put them in boxes or the fabric cubes. You can organize according to color, texture, types, etc!

[@janistaylor7314]

Friday Craft Chat is my favorite! Thanks Pam & Sunny!

[@dragonbard13]

Your videos never fail to put a smile on my face. Your reckless abandon inspired me to get started. Many thanks for all you've shared.

[@patriciaclements2727]

Darn it all! I just woke up and missed you live by an hour! Sadness😢sniff. Well, belated good morning, Pam.

[@brandiperelli4090]

Pam you are one of the most creative persons using scraps on You Tube that I’ve seen! I love it!!! Your always a such a delight to watch:)

[@carolewaller4607]

It always amazes me how much you Need to decorate a journal. I m on my second every journal. With 4 in waiting. Love your videos so much funny.😃🇦🇺

[@lionunderthestars7019]

Fabric storage? Here's my favorite. I have a five foot tall shoe storage rack, 3 feet wide. It has 10 bars on each of 2 sides. I drape all of my fat quarters on the bars. I have solids and batiks on one side and prints on the other. This makes a very colorful room divider and makes choosing fabric easy. Other than that I store fabrics by use. A bag of scraps for snippets, another for fabrics I intend to make journal covers from, another with strips for ruffles and page edgers, another with the right sizes for fabric flips, etc. Love the addition to your drawings, Pam. You are very generous.

[@lourdeselena4771]

I haven’t played a whole lot with fabric yet, but I intend to. I got myself one of your fabric bundles and I got very lucky at my Goodwill and found lace curtains for five dollars. I have a whole lot of stuff to play with now. The altered paper clips look like a good place to start.

[@Erintube360]

Pam, so glad you are a part of my life... you are a positive influence for just being yourself! ❤️

[@dmw5780]

Thank you Pam! Your videos bring such joy to my world 🙂

[@marybethschuiteman484]
