  • I was totally inspired today by Christina Hicks to make a junk mail envelope journal. Today we will make the base from envelopes and sew in our pages.

    I was crafting, and listening to you. I finally had to stop and watch as I could tell you were really enjoying what you were doing by the tone of your voice. I've never seen anyone put their envelope journal together as fast as you just did, but I have to tell you that I LOVE it. Just doing things and not planning I think it's great; some of my best projects are done this way. Thanks for sharing and I hope you are able to get some help from the Dr for you back. Thanks ''s for the inspiration.

    I really like that I now know what to do with all the colouring books people have given me and that I don’t have an appreciation for! Lol I also have no idea how anyone can mutilate envelopes to this degree. It’s an art all on its own! Fabulous construction of the notebook/journal. TFS!

    Rachel, thanks - I checked on the envelopes I had dyed - well, the remaining intact ones, because I put them in the oven to dry only to find the cellophane windows had shrivelled into little blobs. Some survived! This is how experience is gained. I just loved watching you today. I hope your back improves after your visit to the physio!🌷🌹🌈

It’s so much fun to take junk & end up with something really wonderful! Your colors & papers give so much texture to it! I can hardly wait to see more! Your goodies are gorgeous & I hope you will show those as you work on them. Hope your holiday was great, too!

    Hi Rachael - do you sit on a 'proper' office/computer chair, with lumbar support? I gave myself prolonged back pain one winter while using my sewing machine (foot pedal operated) to make a Christmas quilt, sitting on an ordinary dining chair (I was working on the dining table). Now I have cushions which are hard wedges of foam for every chair that I sit on for long periods of crafting. (also for driving the car). I also bought a 'perching stool' which I have upholstered and painted, to remove the clinical look. I found out about the wedges from an Alexander Technique practitioner. Best thing ever! Jacky

    I'm so sorry your back is causing you trouble and pain. It happens to me ever so often and it's just awful so I can imagine how uncomfortable you are. I hope the doctor is able to help. The journal is going to be so much fun for you to make. How exciting. Please feel better!
