Junky Junk Journals - Konmari the Paper Addiction Way

[@Coffeecup.0110]

Happy to see you!

[@sandraanderson2758]

Enjoyed your very real junk journal books, thanks for sharing such a fun way of creating a JJ

[@kattales1108]

These are great journals and a wonderful idea to store your favorite papers and cards. I will be using this project for my own stash of travel papers and postcards.

Oh Michelle...I am in Hastings but have two of our daughters living in Wellington...as well as a grandson in his third year at university. I understand the hoarding of stuff. We live in a small 75 square metre granny flat which is well insulated with all my stuff...patchwork, spinning, knitting and making of journals! Maybe if I made loads more books my stash would diminish except that op shops have this vortex thing happening and more books find their way home!

[@booooooyah]

can you do a making process video of these junky journals?

[@susanthatcher126]

Wow they are all so great but the first one you showed your personal one that was the best looking one .

[@marlisetp]

Great inspiration! Maybe I , too, can whittle my stash down to Konmari level. Do I detect Kiwi?

[@jjwambeke]

Girl after my own heart, love it, can't throw things out either, will be using some of your ideas, thanks so much for sharing.

[@crazyhorsecrafter9073]

These books are AWESOME! I have a ton of the packing paper that I will be distressing and using for base pages. It's kinda like glassine as far as the crinkling sound and feel...I will also be making paper bags/pockets from the packing papers...I even have some olive green color packing paper....LOL...

[@TurquoiseDreamingSheree]

Love the randomness of the papers in these! Very inspiring indeed : )

[@gypsierosejane6703]

Im going to do exactly what you have done here. I have way to much of not much but heaps & this is a great idea to get it sorted & out into the world & in someone elses hands. 👍

[@TurquoiseDreamingSheree]

Ahhh my favorite type of journal; now I'm itching to make some : )

[@victoriaanders3920]

These are super cute. You did a great job. I love the idea of a glue book to save all those images that you don't otherwise have a place to put them. Well done.

[@eliseshaw3341]

These are great! I could destash that way too. What are you doing Junk Journal wise lately?

[@crazyhorsecrafter9073]

Love the flo books and with repositionable adhesive the little bits and pieces could be used on something else later on.

[@suerobinson]

No more Konmarie way for me, it’s the Michelle Mooney way from now on. Love them Michelle 😻

Thanks Shirley xx M

[@bonniesbeautifulchaos1763]

HA! ha! Our husbands are cut from the same cloth! "Just get rid of it!" thanks for sharing your de-hoarding strategies!

[@ThePaperAddiction]

I almost asked him to help and then I realized it would be ALL gone .... I will keep at it alone xx M

[@fayecook9171]

Love love love the journals and Im working my way through my boxes of saved images and like you just sticking them down in no orders and then later will doodle on them.

[@ThePaperAddiction]

Great minds!! xx M

[@paigelee7886]

This is FASCINATING! I love this! One of these days I want to do this too! ❤❤❤

[@pameladorsch8609]

Hey Michelle, You made me so happy to see you posted a video of your work!!! You have been very busy and they are so fun. My son must be related to your husband, lol. My hoarding doesn't bother my hubby, but it does the son. :) Thanks for sharing!

[@inkyfingy]

Woohoo...good luck! I have been making this type of journal for what seems like ages...even though I am not nearly as prolific as you are, (your energy amazes me!), but I find the "scraps" simply don't lessen! in fact, I think they multiply when I'm not looking! Thanks for showing us your lovely journals, now I have to get back to it! Dx

[@ThePaperAddiction]

Good Luck - my scrap box hasn't shrunk as much as it should have either xx Michelle

[@MyLifeMits]

Brilliant!! Love these journals... I was cleaning up my space yesterday and was just so stuck with that I should do with all the scrap book paper.. I think I will try and create myself a glue book/junk journal..Thank you always for the lovely videos!

[@ThePaperAddiction]

I am sure it will be amazing! xx Michelle
