i am working on my whole room, the struggle is real . I have cleared my work table completely and refilled it with sorting bags and boxes 3 times , but it is working ,and i have labelled every box and container, i shall do a happy dance when it is all done.
I do my whole room every January. It's getting harder each year but worth the struggle lol. Definitely do that happy dance lol I'm going to start doing one I think lol
Hi Tina, I think that’s why a lot of us love your videos , it’s because you show your errors and don’t cut them out. We all make mistakes with crafting and it’s good to know someone else struggles at times. It’s authentic and real. So I thank you for not editing mistakes out. Xx

Absolutely Love the idea of the frame booklets! Thank you so much for sharing. I am loving this series and always look forward to the next one. Thanks Tina, Hugs 😍🤗
The booklets at the end are my favorites. Also, the transparent pieces are going to be beautiful once they're sewn. Can't wait to see everything when they're finished. ❤❤❤
Last summer, I put out a "call" to quilting friends of mine on social media: if anyone had any end scraps or pieces of material they no longer wanted or needed, are they willing to give them to me to use in junk journals, clusters, etc., which I sell at craft fairs? It have two friends who immediately reached out and gave me some AMAZING piles (and piles and piles) of material! Fortunately, we think alike. They are really into making vintage quilts with some beautiful patterns--very antique looking. I'm trying to go through the boxes and bags as much as possible, whether for journal pages, or card covers, or clusters. I love it.
Finally got some wall shelves up in my craft room. My son is going to come by today and put some more up for me. It feels wonderful to see the room come together more and have more effective storage! Been working on a folio journal, trying to use what's on my desk too. ❤
I love watching your perfection and boo boo’s! We all do them, don’t be embarrassed! You are just keeping it real and that’s why I love you so much❤❤❤. Thanks for the amazing inspiration and a push to clean my area …it is a beautiful mess in my eyes!
As I mentioned under a previous video, I don't have piles, so I took a bunch of things out and made some piles. Ha ha! I am working on a junk journal made only from junk. It includes mostly things destined for the trash plus a bunch of stuff that I don't really like or use anymore. It's not the prettiest journal, but there is a ton of writing space. Every time I think it's finished, I find other things and add more layers. Today I'm collaging with plain papers over the printed ones which serves two purposes - it makes them sturdier and it gives me a blank canvas for a sketch or some writing. I'm having a ball listening to you while I'm working. Thanks!
Tina, I feel very good when I watch your videos. If you make an error, it's okay, I aways felt junk journaling is about fun and making errors. If you like that is all that matters, thank you for sharing, enjoy your day, big hugs Tina.🤗🤗
Lovely frames🥰 so cute and fun to have in a journal 😊 After watching your first X-P video I nearly lost my mind 🤪🤪🤪 So yesterday I went out and bought a new desk so i can get stuff off the floor 😎now I need to find some storage for my piles🤪🤪 it seems like a never ending story 😂 well then, I’m off to my moms 83 birthday 🥳 lots of love from arctic Norway 🥰🌸🌺🌼🥳
I, too, am cleaning my whole craft room, trying to organize and create more space. I love how you create without thinking about it, Tina. Thanks for sharing. 🙂❤️
I am working on organizing my digitals after printing. I have printing all the collections I have purchased from you first. I have purchased plastic envelopes and bin labels. This way, I can keep all the papers and fussy cuts together when I want to use them. Man, I didn’t realize how many of your digitals I have printed. LOL I watch these videos and want to print even more. 😂
So Inspiring! I'm not clearing my desk but making things to add to my stash....working on tea bag makes now....very exciting and many new ideas popping up as I go along! ❤
I have to move my craft room into another room. Will have much less room to have things at hand. But, once I get it all moved and organized hopefully I can get motivated to work on things again.
Ooh I found my sewing patterns while tidying but I forgot what I was wanting it for 🙈😄. Lol boob on show and ugly helmet are definite no no's 🙊. Not sure I'm going to get done by the end of January, getting old 🙈. It never goes perfectly for me lol and Barbara has her "oh no" moments (she made a compilation video lately 🙊). It always turns out well though. Yes I like the little frames, especially on the booklet. They're my favourite pieces so far! Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖
Story of my life too, buying things and then by the time I find them again not remembering what I wanted them for 🙄🤣. Nope to boobs and ugly helmets, 😂🤣. Oh I will have to watch Barbara’s “bloopers “ video, lol. Someone shocked me yesterday by saying when you’re 50 (which I am going to be this year), if you live to 75 then that’s only 25 more christmases! Putting it like that makes it sound sooooo old, all a bit depressing really 🫣😂🤣. Have a fab day xx
Oh thank you Laura for purchasing the vintage desk digitals, I hope you love them….I use them all the time. My Martha Stewart butterflies are one of the things that I do manage to keep neatly stored 😂🤣 xx
I love fussy cutting! I have gotten so many printable things to fussy cut that I now have a ridiculous amount of flowers, butterflies and birds as well as pockets, tags, labels, etc. I’m doing the #junkjournaljanuary in the hopes of using a lot of the random bits cluttering not only my desk, but my whole craft room! Progress is slow, but it’s progress. What would you call an entire craft room version of XPiles?!?! 😅
I know what you mean about it being your whole craft room, like you, I’m trying to get on top of it all, it’s slow, but it’s progress……….not sure if there is a name for an entire craft room of chaos…..I will give it some thought 🤔🤣 xx
Not to stifle your creative process, but you could put rows of document trays, stacked in front of you and just poke things into the appropriate trays, and sort each tray as it gets full? To be honest, I kind of imagined something like that was in front of you anyway, the way you poke things in front of you this way and that 😊
You didn't hear me say" no" don't throw the gorgeous black paper with pink flowers away😅 I know you can't keep everything. Do you ever sell your scraps?
Can you tell me, I've been wondering for so long, what is it about French script French scenery French Eiffel Tower... Why is so much paper crafting using french-themed stuff?! I mean, I've been to Paris and gone up the Eiffel Tower and had an amazing time, but it's not the only wonderful landmark I've visited. Why are we so stuck on France.?!!! Haha!

The specimen booklet turned out beautiful.
I'm loving you watching you create without a plan, great series. Keep going Tina it's fantastic.
Come out now! Yep I’ve told off some staples too. It’s fun to see the creative process and the imperfection of it all. Love it just the way it is. 🤣🤣
So cute and versatile 💜💜💜🥰🥰🥰
I've enjoyed today's create as we go.
Beautiful creations today, Tina.

Wow, that’s awesome, what a great help for all of you, them in getting rid of the smaller scraps, and you for gaining beautiful pieces of fabrics xx
Finally got some wall shelves up in my craft room. My son is going to come by today and put some more up for me. It feels wonderful to see the room come together more and have more effective storage! Been working on a folio journal, trying to use what's on my desk too. ❤
Love this series, and the specimen notebooks are gorgeous ❤

Those little frames really surprised me, I had my doubts at first but - WOW! They’re gorgeous.😍
Thank you so much xx
❤ A great video!
Love the little booklets. They would make a great mass make xxx
They would wouldn’t they? X
Love love love
I am enjoying your new series. Thank you for sharing :)
I give you credit Tina! I would have pitched the whole piece into the trash!!! You’ve got patience girl! 😂😂😂
Lol, honestly I’m such a hoarder, I just can’t bring myself to do that 🥴🤣…..but the trash would be quicker that’s for sure 😂🤣 xx
I have to move my craft room into another room. Will have much less room to have things at hand. But, once I get it all moved and organized hopefully I can get motivated to work on things again.
I can't tell I tidied things up yesterday!
Ooh I found my sewing patterns while tidying but I forgot what I was wanting it for 🙈😄. Lol boob on show and ugly helmet are definite no no's 🙊.

Loved this! I have been looking at "what the make next", think I need to try just making and not do a "project" THANKS!
I do think the frames with the acetate are cute
You can line those square punches up pretty easily to punch a bit lower to make a rectangle, that would have then fit your pretty perfume bottle 😊
❤❤❤
❤❤❤😊

I was busy printing the Vintage Desk 1 and 2 digitals. Don't forget to use your Martha Stewart butterflies. ❤❤❤
Oh thank you Laura for purchasing the vintage desk digitals, I hope you love them….I use them all the time. My Martha Stewart butterflies are one of the things that I do manage to keep neatly stored 😂🤣 xx
I still use the butterflies for my butterfly paperclips and embellishments. ❤
I love fussy cutting!

Right now my craft room is in total disarray
Could you bring yourself to show us the hole that has appeared on your desk? Xxx
Not to stifle your creative process, but you could put rows of document trays, stacked in front of you and just poke things into the appropriate trays, and sort each tray as it gets full?

You didn't hear me say" no" don't throw the gorgeous black paper with pink flowers away😅 I know you can't keep everything. Do you ever sell your scraps?
Lol, shout louder next time….. I don’t sell my scraps, but maybe in the future xx
How many episodes do you think it will take you to clear your desk? How long do you think it will stay clear? lol
I think there’s 9 episodes and then a what did we make summary…….how long will it stay clear…….well that’s the problem isn’t it? 🥴🤣 xx
