Ladies, when Pam’s hubby asks what happened to his favorite soft bed sheets, we don’t know a thing, right? Wink, wink. 😆 This was fun, Pam! … quietly removing empty cookie box from trash… 👍
Lol!
I’m not going back down on there there is nothing else to do with it but I
#x
Long in the tooth: old. I don't think he should lift that. He's too long in the tooth. He could hurt his back
😃😍😂😂😂 that’s funny
Pam, honestly your videos makes me happy when i'm sad & it's so entertaining to watch you make a junk journal! Keep going keep going!!🥺❤️
Hi Candice.! So happy to hear this! TFW! :) Pam :) !!
Good morning Candice. How are you doing and hope you’re doing great? Am sure you most be bug fan of Pam.
@@tonywhite5931 good morning (it's night here😂) i'm doing good a little tired. Hope you have a really good day!
@@adina9751 Hello Candice. It’s nice to hear from you. Over here it’s 7:39am here and it’s been cold. Where originally are you from and where do you live now?
AWESOME!!! I ENJOYED WATCHING, AND YOU ARE HILARIOUS IN YOU DESCRIPTION 🤣 MANY BLESSINGS!!!
Pam you have an amazing ability to connect with people while instructing and entertaining us. Thanks for all of it.
Hugs from St. Augustine.
Pam,
Loved this video so much.
I could listen to you all day.
I love your humor. You make me laugh out loud all by myself. Lol
Love this idea. I need a crock a dial in my life right now.
Thanks Pam! ❤
Wow! Terrific! 300 pages almost gives you one per day for a year. Or you could add some embellishments in with your writing. Stamping, doodles... Thank you! Have a blessed day! 🙏🥰
I had two sets of those sheets (the daisy one) from 1972. One in pink like the one you are using in this video and same pattern in turquoise. Still have one pink flowered pillowcase and parts of the turquoise sheets I use for everything I need protection from. It still retains its original color and it is very soft! Lol! Now I’m going to make a cover for a junk journal and remember all the things I used it for and what happened the year I bought them. I’m new to junk journaling and enjoying your videos!
I love your Pamisms, Pam. You make me laugh all the way through. I'm even saying finger tool now and smile when I do it. You really could rewrite the whole junk journal terminology. Love the way everything talks to you, dog, sewing machine with their own cute voices. So funny I forget I'm actually watching a journaling video lol. I love your videos so much. Thank you for your fun approach to life and journaling x
@Mom Irregardless whaaat??!😂
Hi Pam and crew , you make my day , like several other subs , I watch Pam t.v. and enjoy it much more than regular television, more entertaining and educational then anything on the boob tube. I have learned so much from you, but mostly that I can do it ( playing with paper) with reckless abandon. Thank you Pam you are truly a sweet person who creates joy and share it freely. Your friend Pete (aka ) Carla from Arizona.
I love your energy & sense of humor. I rescue stray cats (yes I’m a cat lady 😊) & buy pillow cases & sheets at thrift stores to cover their bedding but have saved some of the pillow cases because they are so pretty. Because of this video I definitely want to try making a junk journal out of them. You’re amazing!!! Thank you!!!❤
Love your creativity. Your pillow case is the same pattern I had in the early 70's.
Good job to your husband that’s really awesome
Thank you... U r so brave! I just DID IT! I made my very 1st JJ...well if u count the 1 we did in HS. But this turned out nicely. Took my time, collected junk scraps around the house, no need to goto stores. My whole 1st floor is a wreck, but my JJ is thumbs up awesome.
Love your videos and your humor!
Now, dear Pam, a word - please use the correct bobbins for your machine!
They are not all created equal, and getting some new bobbins is cheaper than replacing your whole machine!
(end of lecture)
No toe curling at this end. I’m not a sewer, so holding your hand as you were sewing…lol my knees go silly when you use that knife! Turned out great. Now to go check my linen cupboard! Cheers, Maz.❤
I love spending time with you and learning a new craft💕Your tutorials are the best. You are also giving me the confidence to purchase my very first sewing machine.🇦🇺
I just LOVE the amazing flowercase, that you used for the front. 💗🧡💛💚 its so pretty. 👍🏼👍🏼
Excellent!!! Thank you for being you! Fantastic new tips with each new video. Keep them coming, please! 💜💜💜💜💜💜
i still have the thread when my mom was a small girl, and she passed 20 years ago, and that thread is still strong
Thankyou for this tutorial. I procrastinate a bit so simplifying a fully decorated journal to a writing journal sounds like a great place to start. Love your work Pam
Love watching your videos. Your terminology is so easy to follow. You make me laugh on those blue days. Thank you for sharing these wonderful projects. Keep them coming.
Loved watching create this journal! I also collect vintage pillowcases and would love to try this. It was encouraging to see your bravery with the sewing machine too, I have much to learn lol. Such an adorable baby dog, hello Sunny.🙂
"So I'm gunna use the metal one" 🤣
What a cute little chubby journal ... You could glue a skinny ribbon piece on on the edge of each cover and use it to tie the journal shut :)
Making my first journal using a cracker box and my daughter's childhood curtains (thin material) with a cat print. Having fun with it. Really enjoy your videos!
I've saved several food boxes with the idea of making journals but have noticed that they tend to be extra wide and would need a lot of signatures. This was great, thanks!
Cut the spine side of the box in half. Overlap and glue those edges back together. This makes the spine more narrow and stronger at the same time.
@@shariyoung4064 Oh, great idea! Thanks, Shari.
Your sewing machine was not laughing at you; it was crying for help! LOL ♥ ♥ ♥
LOLOL..how true :)
Very cool and I just wanted to say how pleasant it is hearing your feathered friend in the background. Makes me want to come over!
That is really pretty! Ty Pam!!!
We got a "Scattegories" game from the charity shop and emptied the box to give us more room...decided to steal the folders that hold the score sheets - really sturdy, so will make fab writing boards or JJ covers :)
That's a great idea!
You did such a good job with this tutorial! Thank you!
I haven’t laughed this much in years! I must watch this video again because I was too busy having too much fun “having fun,” so I neglected to actually listen to your instructions! I’ll watch it again after doing my laundry! Thank you so much for making my day!!! You’re a BLAST! Don’t ever change! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️!!!!!
love could I buy this please.today is my sons 51th Birthday thank you Pam you make my day. wasn't able to see my son today.
Loved watching your process!! Tysm for sharing this ❤
I feel your pain when it comes to measuring and math!
Love this.
Pam: you crack me up! The journal turned out to be good looking, although it sounded like you were in a dangerous zone while working. Haha Carol from California
I have to agree with everyone else, your videos are soo much fun to watch.. I don't know everything about sewing but when going through thick items you might want to try a 90 needle which is for denim etc...Just a thought i'd hate to see you break the universal one and fall into your machine...
You make this look so easy. Blessings! ❤️
Many blessings! Thanks !
I actually do the same thing when I deconstruct a Box for recycle I look at it and say I can make a journal out of that! Lol 😆
The expression “ Long in the tooth” means “ old.” Comes from the old days when referring to the way they determine a horses age, as their teeth actually grow as they age and if too long can’t chew properly so need to be floated (filed down).
hermoso..y la tela de flores una belleza
Pam ...you really make my day. It's 6:43 am . Good start for the day. Good job.. hugs to you. Fun journal.
Oh my that was fun x
Very nice 👌 👍 😊
Perfect!!!i loved it!and i learned a lot .thank you .Hug from PORTUGAL 🌹🎀
Long in the tooth originated with equine raising. Horses gums recede as they get older so it looks like their teeth are longer
I so look forward to your videos Pam - it's my way of unwinding after a tough day. I love your enthusiasm and ingenuity. Have you tried watching with subtitles on - it's added fun!
I’ve actually see anything and everything as to if I could get working on is made of cardboard.use that I. A journal book. It’s funny how a person can see these ideas. This journal that I’ve been working on is made of cardboard. Thanks for all of your wonderful ideas. I just love what you can do. ♥️♥️♥️🥰
That came out really pretty! It's got enough pages for a yearly diary or page per day (almost)!! Question - I have realized that I like "soft" journals better. Do you have any videos (or can you make one) using a 10x13 craft clasp envelope? Thanks!!
Always enjoy your videos 😊 so much fun and love Sunny ❤️❤️😍😍 such a sweet boy 😘😘 TFS 😘😘😘
Hi Dana Colosimo! That's awesome! Pam :) !!
Loved the video as a newbie!!!
I love your descriptions! Lol
Just found your channel , its so much fun and is inspiring me to get started making some journals x
I love it, writing journals are my favorite, I hope to see it in your Etsy shop. 💕🌸💕
Pam I absolutely love your videos. I want to come over and hang out with you lol. Mimosas and scones while Sunny and I watch you go to work lol. Have a blessed week!!! 💗🌸🤗
Love this!!! I think it is my favorite so far! ❤️❤️❤️
This was really helpful! Your book is so cute! Thanks for sharing!
Just love you videos always fun they always make me smile love the book
Hi Anita Klein! Thanks! I am so happy you are here! :) Pam :) !!
Love all your ideas :) Have you ever tried using a decorative box that looks like a book and taking the box part out and using the front and back and spine and making a journal out of it?
How do you make the glue holder ? Does it keep the glue tip free of clogs ?
Goof it up??? it looks brilliant!
I know you said what thread you used for binding, but I missed it 3 times now...the dog needs to go potty, the phone rings and lunch is cooking..lol
Would you please tell me what you used?
Oh my! I cant help but picture a mini "Charmed" BOS!!!! I love it. I have been breaking down all sorts of food boxes to play with... You inspire me! LOL (Hubbie not enthusiastic at all) ROFL
Hi Pam
Love this journal idea.
I've been hesitant about sewing in signatures, but using the box is softer.
What sort of thread and needle would you suggest
Thanks very much x
Hi Kerri! I suggest a big needle with a large eye like a yarn needle. A blunt tip is quite nice too, fewer pokes ;) Here is a link to see an example: www.amazon.com/dp/B08245XDCS?ref=exp_thepaperoutpost_dp_vv_d
I have used many things for string. I used to use dental floss, it works great and is very strong, also embroidery floss or any pretty strong thin string. Today I mostly use waxed linen thread. :) Have fun! :)
Hello Kerri. How are you doing and hope you’re doing great? Am sure you most be a bug fan of Pam
Thanks Pam very much for your help :)
@@junkjournalgirl yes I feel she’s a very good person. Nice to meet you Kerri, how is the weather over there and people around you?
Hi Pam your personality is awesome makes it that much more fun your art is beautiful just a question the pencil you used then spritz your hand to move the color a little i forgot the name if it's possible can you please leave me the name and number of the pencil. Thanks so much i Really enjoy for videos 😊Christine
Sure: Aquarellable Stabilo Pencil #8046 is the black one
Hey sis , I use muesli bar boxes to do that , my ? Is what do you do with the cut off bits from box , cos I don't throw them away , I use them for something else
We in lockdown for another week so you n hubby stay safe please n the zoo xxxxx sp
Hello Sweet Pea! :) Oh yes those lovely pieces of cardboard can make page tabs, book marks, or clusters and so much more! I love hearing you see the possibilities!! Stay safe and big hugs to you and your fam!
@@ThePaperOutpost thanks sis , I use them by putting different size pieces together glued n.make a corner tuck , cover with serviette or paper hand towels n either paint the white paper lightly with choice of color.im learning nothing goes to waste
Also.long in tooth here means getting old been round for a while to know what that meaning means xxxx
Geeze Pam, you kinda scared me when you yell "WHAT WAS THAT" during your sewing!
The repair man was right...don't use old thread. It has lost its integrity. Yes, it has turned into a real scoundrel. It will break so easy and let you down. Just like you have advised us not to use old embroidery thread to sew in our signatures because it can break and the signatures will fall out, so can the old thread break and what you sewed together will come apart. So unless I'm doing stuff that will also be glued down I use new thread. But great project! Turned out very pretty. TFS. Hello to the menagerie and Papa too. 😁
Camille Fulton made comment in small letters but youtube took it down , does anyone know why please.its happening alot in what she watches
Thing is she did do it in caps cos it was easy to read what she wrote , that was taken down
It's upsetting her cos she feels some ppl may feel she has passed
And it's also chanels she been watching for many years its her life , any help would be appreciated ty
Yeah, Alanna I'd like to know why they are doing that to her as well. Doesn't make any sense to me. I've seen some real nasty mean comments from others on many channels and nothing seemed to done with them. Thanks so much for thinking of Camille as well. God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
@@beckyb4074 thank you Becky, I love Camille n she is real upset this is happening so I reached out hoping ppl could help
Ty x alanna ps I'm not at all religious Becky so please leave that bit out to me.
All the best
Great writing journal! Pretty choice of repurposed material. Thank you for sharing! Skipped stitches - wrong bobbin spool. I’m afraid for your machine - it’s like wearing the wrong sized shoes, damage will ensue. Just saying. 😬. Love your videos, long time viewer. Good to use what you have!
war maneuvers in the bedsheets, huh?
Long in the tooth pam means doesn't, fit
Plot twist! What I thought was outside was inside!
LMAO 😂😂😂😂 it’s a JUNK journal, Pam. Perfection is not needed 😉
Long is the tooth related to horses. As the get older, their teeth get longer
Long In the tooth means old
"Long in the tooth" usually refers to age. It comes from a horse term. A horse's teeth actually continue to grow, even as a horse matures. You can tell how well a horse has been cared for, his health and age by his teeth. My vet always checks my horse's teeth to see if it's time to "float". It levels the horses teeth, smoothing out rough spots to help him eat better.
Perfect explanation 😃
This was exactly what I was looking for...I really like the cozy feeling of a cloth-bound book. Your video is so fluid and can be adapted to anything...I giggle and struggle with my tidy-orderly-obsessiveness while I listen to your mouth rattle off and your hands fly...I recognize that is what my brain sounds like all the time to me. It just can't keep up and I get overwhelmed...lol! But seeing you do it...it is comforting. I don't know if that makes any sense to anyone? Anyway thank you very much...you are a precious person!
Pam, I used my Crop-A-Dile 2 for the first time, bought it at a garage sale for $10. Quite a life saver for me as I don't have strong hands to poke thru the paper with needles or a pokey tool. Easier to sew too. I make my pages all up, decorate, then sew. I make them all for myself so it's good. They are more like remembrance albums of each month. Karen in Minn.
OMG, Im a nurse that gives Covid vaccines and I save the band aid boxes and make mini journals out of them! I love saving food boxes as well!
COOL
Lol you and Sunny are adorable, you make me laugh. I love that you show all your struggles with sewing and such. Thank you for sharing.🥰
OH MY GOODNESS!!! This is the funniest one yet!! My daughters and I were glued to the tv watching you Pam!! Hilarious sense of humor and FUN video!! You made our morning!! Love your channel and really enjoy your ideas!!!
Love you Miss Pam!! Definitely a part of our crafting family!! LOLOL!! 😂🤣😂🤣👍👍👍💖
"getting long in the tooth" generally refers to a person aging :)
You crack me up Pam :) great way to end a day for me.
Please ignore Tony White the commenter...I believe this is a bot. I have reported him to youtube and have been removing his comments as much as possible.
I saw all those too, and I thought that was what that was. Not gonna mess with us "happy paper crafters". God bless you. Becky B from Arkansas
Pam you always make me laugh and bring so much joy to my heart ❤️. Such a nice way to de-stress after a long tiring workday! Thank you for being you!
I use my cut offs to make a tiny matching journal. Very cute set.
8:37 "Now you take your finger tool"🤣🤣🤣🤣 Rety one two three!! Sooo funny. I love it... Thank you for sharing your inspiration and your sense of humor is contagious 😊☺🥰
I’m new in the journaling word. I love you Pam you are so entertaining, hilarious, and fun to watch! Please keep them coming. God bless you!❤️
OK first two seconds in and I'm giggling 🤣🤣 Thanks Pam. love from the Caribbean island of St. Lucia 🇱🇨
Oh my word. After I had my first jab yesterday and due to my fibromyalgia I cannot move my arm today and struggle to craft my belly got a massive workout with laughter. I love you soo much Pam. 70% of my covers come from food boxes. I'm love working with them and I keep them from the landfill. Thank you sooo much for ones again being the light in my dreary day sweet lady. Go Bless you and yours xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Watching Pam just makes me feel so good, content, happy ! I have noticed since discovering her a year ago on TH-cam, and the world of journal making, that I never seem to watch regular T.V shows anymore, I'd rather be on TH-cam learning something new, watching Pam is my Favorite because she really just goes for it, lets ya see the Real stuff! For me nothing beats junk journal making, Pam's ability to teach and make me laugh at the same time and cute animals, Best channel on TH-cam!
I've been making books out of cereal boxes and mac and cheese boxes too . The paper bag that holds the cereal is cool to make stuff with too.
Oh..that would be interesting!! I need ideas on it. My mind is going crazy with ideas and I see things everywhere in my house. I can’t wait to get started this coming week!!!
I'd come up with the idea of downsizing or writing excerpts from books or magazine articles just the parts im interested in most. I save the cardboard boxes that kleenex comes in and some notebook paper . The binders or edges that hold them together are taped to the notepaper that h as s been cut down. I had one on notes on orgsnic gardening for certain vegetables and fruits and pest control. The other book had similar things with notes from another book. Then the scotch tape holds it together. Next I have a bigger piece of kleenex box cut and folded to form a csse these 2 fit into with matching design.the 'books ' slide in and out with their binders showing. I hoard so many books and just want to lighten up. You can collect these boxes and make many kinds of books such as the accordian kind of miniature books.
Hi Pam...Great idea!!! Love how you explain...the best teacher! And Pam...you are too funny...I literally LOL 😂🤣😂🤣blessings....Sunny n the feathered friends too💖Oh and of course hubby!
Long in the tooth means old and comes from gauging the age of a horse by the length of their teeth exposed as they age. 🐴.
Skipped stitch: you may need a new needle/clean the lint out of your bobbin box. Also, using the wrong bobbin can cause broken needles and skipped stitches. It also might void your warranty, and they'd have a good case since you published said voiding on the interwebs.
Yes, thread degenerates over time. It's mostly an issue with garment construction - old, weak thread cannot hold up to a person moving around in a garment.
For the work you do, it's probably fine to use decoratively, and it's probably not the end of the world to use it to sew in signatures.
Personally, I wouldn't trust it to sew signatures into my books. At least use an upholstery weight thread for that, or whomever ends up with your book might be disappointed when the threads break and their signatures fall out. It's not catastrophic, it would just be a bummer and I like to hedge my bets.
For decorative use the worst case scenario with old thread is it might break and get tangled in your machine - possibly requiring a minor service call to get it untangled.
Oh, also it will shed in your machine and make tons of lint. Clean that lint out of your machine often. Not doing so is the quickest way to bring a machine to an early grave.
Some corners can be cut in the name of creativity, but be kind to your sewing machine. These modern machines have nylon/plastic parts that will strip/break if overly stressed. At that point you have to buy another one as they are not meant to be repaired.
If you got this far - thank you for your reckless abandon, and another fun project!
Also the skipped stitches could just be because your machine wasn't engineered to sew through these materials, so it's not quite able to make the lockstitch every time. If you've changed your needle, cleaned your machine and it still does this, then I would just chalk it up to the machine not knowing how to sew through paper/chipboard/etc. and treat it like a feature not a bug :)
I hope my comments help!
😳
Pam, you are such a rebel! I hope the sewing machine guy is not watching ;). Seriously though , this journal turned out beautifully - I love the chunk. xx
🤣 finger tool, hand iron! I love your personality ❣️
Wow! What a beautiful journal you have made today! This is the longest video that you have shared in a long time! I loved it. Sunshine is so sweet! Sending lots of hugs your way! Thank you for being there for us!❤❤
Love it Pam thank you for such a clear and well explained tutorial. Sunny is so cute..... Xxx
lmao I love how ya being told not to do this or that with your machine, but you do it anyway...
