I’m so glad you are liking all of the “nitty-gritty“ I always wonder if I should or if it’s boring to people. I love meeting people with similar interests and lighting each other up!!

    Hi glad I found you, I like your relaxed pace and the way you go about crafting! Nice to see how easy it is to dye the pages, and the effects of the salt. Hope you manage to grow the channel and share more of what you love ❤

    I love your video and great tips for dying paper. I do the coffee, tea and avocado dying and have been looking for a way to do blue paper. I tried food colouring but it never works out too well so will definitely try ink and also the salt idea is super so will do this too. Like you I am hoping to make a career out of making journals, ephemera etc and doing you tube videos. I need to make some more videos and do them more regularly. Look forward to seeing more of your videos.

      Hello there and thank you so much! I must visit your channel… Birds of a feather we probably are. Yes, I’ve died papers with many of those inks. I was going to make a video on dying papers with ink. Looking forward to checking out your work!😊

    Howdy, Karen! Thank you for taking us along with you as you start a new journaling journey. So interesting to see how you got different textures with using the ink as a paper dye. Love how you incorporated some pages of the nature books into the journal. Looking forward to seeing you add some decorations. Be Blessed. Bubbles...ooo🫧🫧🫧

    I love the colors and different textures you use. I’ve kept a Journal for years, but never have been attracted to a junk journal. They are lovely, but I just could not think what to do with one. You have inspired me to try making a self-care one.

    Dont give up your gardening day job for a maybe TH-cam channel...! Very very few junk journal people make decent money on YT.
