TRASH JOURNAL 2021 | FINAL FLIP-THROUGH

TRASH JOURNAL 2021 | FINAL FLIP-THROUGH
Recorded 9/1/2021 in the morning.
Hey, everybody! I finished up this lovely junk journal that I have been referring to as TRASH JOURNAL 2021. Let's take a look at it! I need to start on another one soon, and maybe do something really fun and different next time around. Don't be afraid of making any kind of journal you imagine!
QUESTION: Does this journal need a name? It only occurred to me after uploading the video, but maybe it does! Any ideas?
Thank you so much for watching and thank you for your support!
I am forever grateful.💕
xx
Lynn

MY CREATIVE SELF:
My name is Lynn. Creativity started with altering my clothing as a young girl. I love birds, gardens and all things botanical. My current artistic focus includes paper and fabric, especially making handmade journals and selling excellent supplies to other artists.

Love this. To me its a form of an art journal. I can't draw or paint but u can collect "trash" and make it beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

[@abitofbirdsong]

Thank you so much! xx❤️

Turned out fabulous!! You have me looking down to the ground every time I'm out and about 😊☺I have found some cool 😎things!! God Bless

Hi Sherry! LOL -- I'm constantly looking at the ground. It's a wonder I haven't run into something. 😂 God Bless you as well! 😊💕

[@abitofbirdsong]

Oh Gracie, thank you so much!! And thanks too for the sweet reminder that family is more important. You are so right! I love having you here. 😊💕✌🌷

[@jenniferedwards6238]

I am so inspired by this journal. Seeing so much go into even recycling bothers me but the items which can’t be recycled and are filling out landfills is troubling. So your junk/trash journals inspire me to give it a new life. It is also a history for other to see in the future which is also important. Thank you for sharing and I hope the medical issue was resolved with no lasting effects.

[@abitofbirdsong]

Hi Jennifer! I agree with you 100% about the landfills, etc. In the county I live in, and the last county I lived in, the recycle centers have little "shopping" areas where people can place things that are still usable. They are free to others who come in to use the recycling facilities. I love that some places do that. Thank you so much for your nice comment!! I truly appreciate it! 😊💕

[@katgirl1921]

My mom does not journal she used to not understand the things i keep for my journal and ask me why i want this or that and now she saves me things and ask me if i want this or that for my journal as well as my family they see the things that i put in my journal and want to help me with the things i put in my journal. i think that is neat when other understand your love for putting just about anything in your journal

[@abitofbirdsong]

I agree! It’s so nice when people “get” what we enjoy making and using. 😊❤️

I think that these journalist are interesting and will be more so with age when it will be fun to look back on this junk mail and compare it with modern day stuff. A great idea. TFS x

[@KitschRich]

I love this so much! Thanks for sharing. How did you attach your signatures to the bind here? :)

[@abitofbirdsong]

Hello! Thank you so much for your comment and for watching! I sewed the signatures in with the sewing machine. Sigh, one of my favorite ways to bind. Here is one of the earlier videos of this journal. I have other tutorials on here of where I used the sewing maching to sew in signatures. 💟🍄💟 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJnEmJt5h9yrabM

[@KitschRich]

@@abitofbirdsong Awesome! Thanks a bunch. I really love this. Such an inspiration!

[@donnaguyton153]

Hi! I don’t remember offhand, but I can check!
