Making A Junk Journal with an Old Book

[@catherinehart5950]

Your voice sounds nearly back to your cheery old self❤ Love the grungy pages and am inspired to get into “ junk journal mode”.

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Oh thank you! 😁 Yes it was pretty bad I’m so glad I’m recovering 💗

[@MossCottageMarket]

Carol, I'm so glad you are starting to feel better! The next best thing to making a junk journal is watching someone else make one! I don't know why, but I find it so relaxing!!!

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Thank you Helen 😊 it’s good to be able to speak properly again ! I’m glad you are able to come and relax with me 💗

[@teresabrown836]

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Hi Teresa thank you for your lovely message. I’m excited to be doing a special journal with this cover I hav been hoarding it for ages. Hugs 💗😊

[@KnowHimKnowPeace8]

I am glad to see that you are going to keep the writing on the cover of the music book. I think that the handwriting gives it character🙂💜.

[@RecraftedByCarol]

I will use it somewhere it was hard to rip into it for sure 😊

[@darleneblackwell6853]

Sorry to hear you have been sick. Glad you are on the rebound!! Please take care of yourself, so you will not relapse!! Love!!!! the grungy book!!! You are amazing!!!!

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Thank you so much Deb yes I remember, I’m excited to get this project finally started 😁❤️

[@rhondacalderone862]

Hi Carol! You sound so much better. I'm glad that you are on the mend! I've never seen anyone cover that raw edge with cheese cloth! That is a brilliant idea! You don't have to lose the artwork on the spine!

[@RecraftedByCarol]

hi Rhonda 😁 I saw the scrap it just came to me, I can tell I’m feeling more like myself when my ideas come to me as I’m playing. hugs my friend ❤️❤️

[@tricialinden]

Sorry to hear you weren't feeling well, so happy to hear you're on the mend. What a joy to watch you make another grungy journal for your 5K subscribers. Hugs.

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Thank you so much! It’s going to be fun I’m really looking forward to going grungy shabby with this book 😁

[@lynnhill9163]

Carol, I think the outside cover of this is so fun! What a neat way to preserve a beautiful but worn-out book from long ago. I’ve not made a junk journal before, so this is a new area for me to learn about. I’d love to be entered into the drawing. Take care, and keep getting better! Cheers from Lynn in Hallsville, MO

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Thank you so much Lynn ! I am feeling more like myself everyday ! ooh I hope you enjoy learning about junk journals Lynn 😊 they are so much fun !

[@joannepeyton1654]

Hi Carol: You sound better and way more energetic than the last video you posted. Definitely on the road to recovery. But you still need to rest. I think you know I’d be over the moon to win anything from you. Love your kit that you’re using. Perfect for this journal. 💜😎🇺🇸

[@annettehalverson9872]

Glad you are feeling better. I was down with Covid last week as well, pretty much sat on the couch, with my blanket and tea, and watched KZbin videos.

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Hope you’re on the mend too Annette, did you get the sore throat , swollen glands one ? and yes pretty much all I did oh and a few Christmas movies for a change 😁💖💖

[@annettehalverson9872]

Congestion and sore throat, and very tired. All healthy again. It feels so good to have energy again.

[@RecraftedByCarol]

@@annettehalverson9872 there’s so much going around ! Yes, it just feels so much better to be able to actually do things still get tired, but that’s probably to do more with the dark weather here than actual recovering from the Covid flu. I do suffer with SAD I’ll try and get outside as much as possible on nice days which helps ❤️

[@paperise]

I hope it will be lovely and grungy

[@RecraftedByCarol]

oh it sure will 😁💖

[@tracywilson5732]

I love the grunge! I think the " didn't try" look adds to the grunginess ... with page edges sticking out. I know the look isn't for everyone and it may have its place! 😂

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Hi Tracy Thank you I think 🤔 No Grungy journals are not for everyone, they do seem to be popular tho 😊
