I create handmade junk journals, journals and notebooks of various kinds, postcard art and digital ephemera. I adore old school analogue including paper ephemera, junk journals, gluing in stuff and buying too many craft and journal supplies :)
Here we make journals, talk about journal related stuff and about life in general.
Random visits from the cats, Lucy and Sophie are frequent :)

My mission with this channel is to have fun, connect with all of you, create some great journals and play with paper and craft supplies. Thanks for being here with me, Lisa xo

Wed morning- I'll post a video about starting a winter solstice journal. I am not feeling very Christmasy for various reasons this year so I am creating a December journal to celebrate the winter solstice and countdown to 2025. It will be a journal of reflection and review for 2024. This isn't the most exciting part of the journal LOL! BUT-it's a fun and easy way to countdown to a celebration. Hope you will check it out and enjoy xo

POV..from my heart to yours. Don't feel bad for forgetting about supplies you bought and put away. Yesterday it took my 10 minutes to remember Julia Child's name. 10 minutes LOL!! Some days these things float around in the abyss for awhile ;) Hugs, Lisa xo

Just posted a super simple video. It's not rocket science or anything that you don't already know but sometimes it is nice to be reminded that you can simply undo, redo or start again when something doesn't go as planned. We can get attached to ideas or outcomes and then feel annoyed when things go sideways. The moral of this short story is start over when you need/want to do and look forward to starting fresh. A do-over can make room in your mind for new ideas. Hugs xo

A BIG thank you to everyone for your patience with all of my Halloween journal videos! I know everyone isn't a Halloween fan & I am grateful for your understanding. I listed these Halloween videos "early" so I can link these videos to my website listings. I have one more to go and then we are back to regular TV viewing ;) Im lucky to have you all! Big thanks to you all, Lisa xo
