you gotta do you but studies show that swearing is correlated with intelligence, linguistic capability, and might even be good for your health ☺️ always worth unpicking why you hold certain beliefs and preferences and it's not as if she's swearing the whole way through.
@@PlaceboEllie EXACTLY!!! Often when ppl are nit picking at someone else over seemingly small gripes it is simply a sign they have more internal work to do. It is so much easier to look outward and point out someone else's perceived flaws than to look inward and recognize things we need to work on. To be 100% honest I used to be a bit judgmental about cursing too. Until I started working in a very busy CT-ICU(Open heart unit of the ICU) and here I was working in a high stress environment with THE most amazing nurses, doctors, and surgeons who swore like pirates when doing small talk in the staff lounge. I picked it up and felt bad about it. Then one day a very awesome conversation happened on the unit about this subject and they said they never swore really either before taking this career path and that it is a form of stress relief! lol That our minds can only take seeing and experiencing death and chaos for so long before needing to find an outlet. That swearing is a much healthier outlet than smoking or drinking or worse. So now when I hear ppl cursing I take it as a nod to it being their form of stress relief. No biggie! As long as no one is cursing anyone out for no apparent reason then really I don't see the harm in it. Caylee Grey is also extremely talented too. Often artistic folks cuss as an outlet as well. lol
I've never hear a more genuine definition of junk journaling. Thank you so much for revealing the true journal to be found within. We all try to copycat from others but we must learn to let that go and do whatever the heart and the soul deliver on any given day.
Lovely video! Thank you! I started a journal a year ago and spent days and months building it up. One day I thought, oh but this is nothing like other people's journals, theirs are so artistic and mine is so ugly. I didn't like my own handwriting, I didn't like drawings, I didn't like the bits and pieces I picked for my journal. And so I stopped and put the whole thing aside. A year later - a few days ago actually, I opened up the journal and thought, wow, this is pretty good! My handwriting looks okay, and the drawings are nice, and the bits and pieces are great! Now I'm so glad I ploughed on through those days and months. Now I'm journaling again. I tell myself, don't worry about what the now-me thinks about this, do this for the future-me who by reading may understand the past-me (as well as herself) a little better.
O my gosh girlie, I am so glad you posted this because I too struggle with the now me that says what a piece of crap - then when I go back and flip through I think oh wow I finally use all these hoarded pieces. ❤🧡💛
We can be our own worst critic, I would always see the flaws in my work where others wouldn't. I have to consistently remind myself that I'm doing this for my own enjoyment
This came up on my suggestions. I watched. I listened. My heart heard. My soul came into agreement. I love it. It ended to soon. I subscribed. Thank you ❤
@@CayleeGrey I thought it was beautiful. I didn't hear any bad words and I am one who hates. I truly loved this video and it explained what a junk journal is and I realy appreciated it. I will be back..
Junk Journal July is like a constant thirst that never goes away. The more I float thru all you amazing creators thru recommendations etc. The more I feel free, journaling is freedom and freedom is life. Ty for being you.
Couldn't agree with you more!! I once heard someone ask an artist about his unusual work: "What makes this art?" I'll never forget the artist's response: "It's art bc I'm an Artist and I SAY it's ART". 😎 I've kept that in mind ever since--it was on the Phil Donahue show...if that tells you how LONG ago that was (30 years ago...🤦🏻♀️)
This just what I needed to hear! This was beautiful. I been struggling because I am not a artist. You can find your own way your own method and style. I had hordes of scrapbooking material from the early 2000, when I moved I donated to friends and church groups. Now I wish I still had all the stuff again. Thanks to opening my eyes to a new world of art!
This is now my favorite junk journal video! I love to hear your thoughts and practical philosophy on the purpose and benefit of your journaling! Thanks also for the encouragement to join a community. That's on my to do list for this month!
Greetings from British Columbia, Canada. I’m not the sort of person that would do a daily journal, but I’m having a lot of making myself a ring bound journal to document my quilt projects.
I am no artist. No, really I am no joking. But i like to write in a journal. I have done it since high school, and now I am 62. I decided that I too can glue some of my little things in my journal, make my doodles and color it and write and enjoy it. thank you for the inspiration. And you had me definitively when you pulled out your manual typewriter. I had a similar one when I was a little kid. Love it
such great tips!! I've just started junk journaling and I'm loving it!! I really love the freedom it gives. I already had a practice that I "mess up" the first page of any journal I write in so that I can get over the fear of "ruining it" . I'm going to LOVE this month!!
YES YES YES! I love that. I still have first page fears, and the way I combat them is by "introducing myself". Sometimes it looks like a passport photo and my name. Sometimes it's a bullet list. But it's just a small introduction to take away the fear. I LOVE that you mess it up on purpose. There's so much freedom in that practice. And, I'm sure you've found, even when you're trying to fail on purpose, sometimes it looks beautiful.
@@CayleeGrey I LOVE your idea too!! :) I may incorporate that as well if you don't mind. :) I'm loving that I have no set intention on the page. I am allowing myself to just play and explore. If I don't like something or if something rips for eg I go with it. Shift with it. It is such freedom!!
Great tips & information. I journal & collage everyday. I have a "craft" space, but I keep my journal next to my place on the couch. I have a clear plastic shoe box with ephemera, large scraps, small scraps, some stamps, ink, book pages, scrap writing paper & some washi. I read, knit, journal & collage everyday. Makes life happy.
💕😍Caylee, anytime I see one of your journals or working in them, I’m instantly inspired to want to create in mine. 😌I can look at your journals all day
I started journaling a month ago.. This video came on my suggestion.. Love it. Journaling is a beautiful experience.. And memoties still alive through it..❤❤❤
Ok, I'm just going to say it. I LOVE YOU! There i said it, you just needed to know, I think. If its too soon, let me know. 😉 I am amazed, and I relate to your idea of junk journaling so much. Now to go find the perfect vintage book to use. Thank you...really, thank you.
@@CayleeGrey well, "perfect" in what it says to me, size, content...all the other things that make it "yours". I found it in my own library of vintage books, of course. You should check out my IG account where I share a glimpse. ❤😉 vintagebaby63
This is the most inspirational junk journal video I’ve ever seen! You hit all the points of what makes me afraid to work on my journals more often. Thank you so much! This weekend I will concentrate on using the things I love. ❤️
Hi Caylee, This is the first time I have seen your video channel. I like the journals you made and I really like the way you are an encouragement to others. Jesus said to love God with all of our hearts and love others. I feel the love through your words and the tone in which you speak. You are a blessing! I feel blessed to have found you today! 😇🙏🏼
Awesome video and love your pages & your inspirations, tips & ideals. You created those pages effortlessly, with no over thinking. Thanks for sharing 🥳❣️
I came to you via Joie de fi and I’m so glad I stopped by. I love what you said about finding a community. I follow many junk journal artists and I consider them my community. I am happy to add you now to the group.
Try making yourself an "ugly journal"--using your least liked papers and a cover that's too big...ugly embellishments, stickers you'll never use-with the intention of simply gluing/tearing/creating. I now have two going--one I use for "experiments"--lol like Frankenstein's monster (I try stuff there just to see if it will work before I do things in my "good" journals) and one is just plain U-GLY. OY. I can't mess them up. No matter what - Oddly, they're really growing on me (lol, they'll probably end up being my favorites somehow--though I really can't see that at this point). 😎
@@TheCrabbyCrafterlol omg this is a great idea I needed this thank you... I focus on making my books look nice and you forget to let go to free yourself 👏👍
A crafty friend recommended your channel, this video and then I realized your video was on my watch list bc of Junk Journal July. It was meant to be 😃 I love see the vintage with the pops of super bright colors. I love mixing things like that too.
Before watching this video I wasn't thinking positive - I was annoyed by many things happening in the 3d world- but watching few mins of your video found motivation once again. thankyou. Art raises a person's frequency vibration and energy- it has the Power. Being creative changes ones aura to positive . Wow I love typewriters and leaves
Hi Caylee! Loved this video. ❤ I found you on Google podcasts! Get messy! I love listening to your podcasts and now watching your videos. I am in the middle of a 100 day challenge to walk 10k steps a day inspired by the podcast of you with your husband. :) My favorite piece of advice you gave is---ignore perfection. I started Junk Journaling as a way to relieve stress from a job in the medical field that demands perfection. I especially love that you infuse yourself and your real life into your media and remind me that Journaling is not just a past time or a hobby. It's art, and it's therapeutic. :) I am glad to see you collaborate with other JJ artists. I was already watching Joie, Barbara, Rachel, and of course, you. And on a side note. You inspired me to get a typewriter! I bought one at an estate sale (very inexpensive), and it is cursive!! I noticed the one you used today is cursive. Then, of course, I purchased another one that is regular print. Love them!! Looking forward to your next video and podcast. Love from Texas, 🇺🇸
Aww what a lovely comment. Thank you so much for it. My husband is going to be SO proud of your 100 day challenge. I can wait for him to wake up and tell him 😀 10k a day is AMAZING. Go you. Even just one day of 10k steps! Yesssss. It’s SO hard to ignore perfection but that’s the exact place you’ll find freedom and all the beautiful things that come with creation. It’s not easy. I find that junk journaling is perfect for it. It lends itself well to the messy look. I’m so happy about your typewriter. I don’t often recommend supplies but a brush pen and a typewriter have really changed so much of how I create. I have two too 😂 although this cursive one needs some TLC because I didn’t intend to write in red. I used to think they were the same as using a computer but they’re really, really not. Thank you for your beautiful comment.
I just found your channel tonight and I'm so happy I did. Such insightful advise as I'm very new to this craft and have done a couple of process videos which are so hard (for me) to do. Thanks for sharing. xo Lisa
This beautiful video with such wise and lovely words you share just popped up on my thread for the first time. Just awesome and definitely subscribed... thanks 😍
I love that snippet of poetry, I found yr video inspiring, I have been craving creativity for a long while & stalking videos on junk journaling!! Lol ~ I just need to jump in sometime!
Absolutely!!! DIVE in--if you're hesitant--start small --a good many of my favorite junk journalers work on index cards (soooo NOT intimidating) or make little junk journals (out of small lunch bags or scrap papers and cardboard... or index cards as mini journal covers--sooooo cute!!) After stalking jujo vids for a long while: I started by picking out my least favorite papers (the U-GLY stuff!!) and all the homely stuff I had that I knew I'd never use and just got it over with and made one. She's wonky. But then I was off and running--YOU GOT THIS 😎
@@TheCrabbyCrafterlol ~ Thankyou for your encouragement! 😊❤ That is so Lovely of you, yes & I recognise good advice when I see it, index cards, starting small & using up the "the homely, uninspiring junk papers would definitely insire me to not be precious out it, I know the value of baby steps 😊 I appreciate you taking the time to inspire me 💕 because truth be know, I still haven't jumped in yet!
Maybe try create something with the PURPOSE of messing up. It’s a nice (albeit scary) practice to get you brave and creating, and you might just end up liking it (which would be failing at messing up, but still wonderful of course).
Try an "ugly" junk journal--specifically using your least favorite (read: U-GLY) stuff--or start an experimental journal where you work out all the kinks (like Frankenstein's monster). Can't mess anything up there. And it will help you build your competence--thereby building your confidence. Another option is to just go totally random and just do pages for pages sake then randomly put them together later. There's a certain kind of beauty in that kind of collection --Get out your toys and play-just PLAY--have FUN. Enjoy the process--the project will take care of itself 😉👍🏼😎
Simply beautiful . Thank you for sharing and giving the reason and the purpose for journaling . I’ve found you by just a simple search and I’m so happy to be a new subscriber. Hugs from California xx
New to this junk journaling thing. was researching something else when I found this rabbit hole. My question is what is the difference between a junk journal you use yourself one one made to sell?
First time watching your channel Caylee and I have to ask, are you South African. Very useful tips given. Thank you. I’m enjoying watching all the Junk Journal July videos.
Honestly being parte of community scares me. I Always feel like others' work Is Better than mine and that mine sucks and I am afraid of challenges, because I don't want to expose my work to others' possible judgment. It's like... My committment, my point of view about collages, my work Is never enough.

Yesssss. It’s SO hard to ignore perfection but that’s the exact place you’ll find freedom and all the beautiful things that come with creation. It’s not easy. I find that junk journaling is perfect for it. It lends itself well to the messy look.

I just found your channel tonight and I'm so happy I did. Such insightful advise as I'm very new to this craft and have done a couple of process videos which are so hard (for me) to do. Thanks for sharing. xo Lisa
Ah, that makes me so happy. I've dabbled in so many crafts and this is the one that stuck. I hope it does for you too because it's so therapeutic.

Hi Michelle
You got a cute name. Lol
New subscriber, this is the first video I've watched and I loved it!! Thank you 🙂.
Yay!
I love that snippet of poetry, I found yr video inspiring,
I have been craving creativity for a long while & stalking videos on junk journaling!!
Lol ~ I just need to jump in sometime!
Juuuuuuuump. It’s not as scary as your head is telling you.
Absolutely!!! DIVE in--if you're hesitant--start small --a good many of my favorite junk journalers work on index cards (soooo NOT intimidating) or make little junk journals (out of small lunch bags or scrap papers and cardboard... or index cards as mini journal covers--sooooo cute!!)
After stalking jujo vids for a long while: I started by picking out my least favorite papers (the U-GLY stuff!!) and all the homely stuff I had that I knew I'd never use and just got it over with and made one. She's wonky. But then I was off and running--YOU GOT THIS 😎
@@TheCrabbyCrafterlol ~ Thankyou for your encouragement! 😊❤ That is so Lovely of you, yes & I recognise good advice when I see it, index cards, starting small & using up the "the homely, uninspiring junk papers would definitely insire me to not be precious out it, I know the value of baby steps 😊 I appreciate you taking the time to inspire me 💕 because truth be know, I still haven't jumped in yet!
Very nice, thank you for sharing.
Hi Gloria
You got a cute name. Lol
Thank you for sharing this, page paralysis from fear of messing up is my worst habit. Then I put it all away again and never start it.
Maybe try create something with the PURPOSE of messing up. It’s a nice (albeit scary) practice to get you brave and creating, and you might just end up liking it (which would be failing at messing up, but still wonderful of course).
Try an "ugly" junk journal--specifically using your least favorite (read: U-GLY) stuff--or start an experimental journal where you work out all the kinks (like Frankenstein's monster). Can't mess anything up there. And it will help you build your competence--thereby building your confidence.
Another option is to just go totally random and just do pages for pages sake then randomly put them together later. There's a certain kind of beauty in that kind of collection --Get out your toys and play-just PLAY--have FUN. Enjoy the process--the project will take care of itself 😉👍🏼😎
Lovely

New to this junk journaling thing. was researching something else when I found this rabbit hole.
My question is what is the difference between a junk journal you use yourself one one made to sell?
Nice!! Love those books covers!! Pinned and Tweeted!🌻x
Yeah! Thank you!
wonderful.
would love to see some watercolor tutorials
Thankyou
Hi Caylee! First time to your channel. New subscriber. So enjoyed this video. South African?😃🎀💕
That’s some good accent spotting :)
So pretty and calming! Love this video! Please tell me, how do you stitch on your page when it is already part of your signature?
Thank you ♥ I fold the rest of the journal away. It's not always a good way to do it, but it works for the most part.
First time watching your channel Caylee and I have to ask, are you South African. Very useful tips given. Thank you. I’m enjoying watching all the Junk Journal July videos.
Yes indeed I am South African :) and we almost share maiden names!
@@CayleeGrey Thought so😀what was your maiden name?
@@wendyschultz4490 yours with an "o" :)
Hi Wendy
How are you doing?
Honestly being parte of community scares me. I Always feel like others' work Is Better than mine and that mine sucks and I am afraid of challenges, because I don't want to expose my work to others' possible judgment. It's like... My committment, my point of view about collages, my work Is never enough.
i think i’m gonna do this for my senior year
PLEASE DO.
