I keep a small 3×4 booklet nextto where I sit & watch utube videos on junk journalling. I jot down EVERYTHING I want to remember---a glue name, website, paint name, book, quote, instructions, etc. I sometimes put some of the information into a more permanent place, but keeping a small book handy will reward you many times over.

This is a great idea, I also keep a journal of all of pam ideas, as pam makes them on utube, I make them as well, then I slip into plastic pockets into a ring binder and can look back at what was made on that utube. Thanks for sharing.

I just looked it up and…. Moths are in the insect Order Lepidoptera, and share this Order with Butterflies. There are some 160,000 species of moths in the world, compared to 17,500 species of butterflies.”

Nature's Sketchbook by Marjolien Bastin. A beautiful book of her sketches to treasure, along with Edith Holden.

Yes, when I bought that I mistook it for Edith Holden!

Your videos are so therapeutic. I even use them to fall asleep too. Thank you for putting out videos. And your puppers is too cute for words

“A Floral ABC” by Elizabeth Cameron is a beautifully crafted book written to her grandchildren. A flower for each letter of the alphabet. I haven’t taken scissors to it yet😩

Thank you for lifting my spirit now my dad just passed away.My goal is to create beautiful journals and ephemra to share with my family under the Christmas tree.xxxx

Sunshine is soo cute! I love the Sunshine commentary… adorable and funny !!!

Best book I’ve found is “secrets of a Devon wood , my nature journal” by Jo Brown. Fabulous fabulous book.😊

Ok I have a bunch of books I have fond that have beautiful illustrations I will list them here. - Flowers of the World by Frances Perry illustrated by Leslie Greenwood - A Potpourri of Garden Treasures by Michal sparks - The encyclopedia of Everlasting by Barbra Radcliffe Rogers - Born in the Spring by June caver Roberts Theses are the book I have found at library books sales through the years. I suggest looking at your local library book sales if you have them. You be amazed what’s out there.

Such loveliness. Thank you for sharing.

This was a treat, Pam🤗 📚🧵✂️🐕🐦🐦🥰

Digi print idea. Vintage heavy machinery. Steam shovels, tractors. And that fish . Different kinds of fish.

Hi Pam, love your channel. I googled Edith Holden and it said she lived to be 48 years old. Her work is incredible and thanks for introducing me to her work. Happy Crafting!🐾

We love you Sunny!

I keep document files on my phone. I keep one for things I'm looking for in thrift stores. I keep one for ideas...etc. I can send to my emails as a PDF and can download to my computer and print. Keeping lists and ideas on my phone makes it easier to keep up with. I lose my written notes so much. 😊

Thank you for your help!! Huge hugs, Namesta 🐞🥰

Hi Pam and Sunshine, "The Country Flowers of a Victorian Lady" by Fanny Robinson has lovely flower illustrations. Love all your wonderful idea's!

Oh Pam, I've missed you. I've been trying to watch less youtube, but I was tempted by you. When I heard your "conversation" at the yard sale, I felt right at home.

" The Season's" by Louis Lawrence compiled 1887-1890, first published 1981. This book has beautiful drawings, the poetry is very much from the 19th century perspective. The script is beautiful and most art work is sepia. Over all a beautiful book for junk journaling.

After discovering the world of junk journaling through you tube, on my first ever thrift trip to find “a cool old book” I run across the country diaries and grabbed it for $1.50 mostly because of the beautiful handwriting and pictures. I didn’t know what a treasure it was. Today I see that as a sign that I’m on the right path!! Haha

Hi Pam. I purchased a book called Wildflowers of Britain month by month. It is by Margaret Erskine Wilson who was a painter and studied in London, England.She painted over a 45 year period and died in 2009.

i picked up a copy of the Diary of an Edwardian Lady yesterday at a charity shop for £1 ( here in the uk) and have already been using images for multimedia art . I had a Janet Marsh book before and it was just as lovely x

When I was 12-14 years old I collected bugs and would pin them to cardboard ( after they were in a jar of alcohol soaked cloth). I also made my very first book of leaves , leaves were covered in contact paper, I wrote what type of plant or tree they came from.

Same here, and 30 years later I was a Science teacher doing the same thing in teacher summer workshops! Twenty middle-aged women with kill jars, plant presses, field guides and butterfly nets get off a bus in Texas and people don't bat an eye. :-) I still have the Contac paper-covered pressed plants and will be adding them to my junk journals!

Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful💙

I miss your older videos where we just simply craft along with you for an hour while you experiment with techniques and trying things that pop into your head. I still love your videos now, but it was nice when it was just us, you, and the paper supplies for the whole video and you lost track of time. Kind of like having a friend over to make beautiful things together. I find myself gravitating toward the videos where people show what they are doing without turning most things into a tutorial or “how to.” This is not a criticism, just sharing. ❤ Love your chatter and Sunny’s pupdates! Also, I never hear Holly and the lovebirds anymore, did their cages get moved? 😢 Bless you, Pam, for trying to keep up with this crazy world! Hugs to you, Papa, and the menagerie!

I just mentioned yesterday that we have so much lovely paper, notebooks, pads of papers; yet when we need a quick piece to jot something down , resort to an old envelope 😂 guess it is a good way to reuse 😁

I never cut books (well, not ones i like), I will tear out the page, make a copy, and I keep (tuck) the original page back in the book where it came from. I do this with color books, or anything I like a lot and might want to use multiple times. I've learned so much from you and so grateful you share your learning experiences. I do this with almanacs, encyclopedias, mich more ❤❤❤

I recently purchased Janet Marsh’s Nature Diary book and I love it!

Dear Fellow Tree Hugger, Pam, Yes, trees "talk", especially when hugged. I love looking up into their branches. In most trees I see the brains' circulation vessels as seen at their base. Yes, I do! When you asked for (nature) journey ideas, i immediately thought of a 4 signature for the four seasons, then you said the same later......great nature minds indeed. Thank you for sharing these beautiful books & their authors!😊

What a great video and the comments listing other books is a great resource. I will have to check back often. I have purchased the Natures Diary by Janet Marsh. I would love to see a video on distressing paper and other objects like paper clips and safety pins. 😊

Edith Holden lived from September 1871-March 1920. Love her books . M. Bastin books are beautiful also.

Thanks to you, Pam and all the other junk journalers out there for sharing your finds. I appreciate it............😻

Love this. Copyrights protection lasts for the length of the author's life plus another 70 years.

Good morning Pam🤗 Awesome share, love these types of illustrations. Really cool how everyone is chiming in with suggestions. Hope you have a fabulous day, hugs. 💕

One that I found at an estate sale: Bird, Beast & Flower (1980) - watercolors by Marie Angel, poetry selected by Ian Parsons

Those books are so gorgeous, so many ideas came into my head, love your ideas Pam, love to sun bun xx

Loved the video! Thanks for the resources! I copied them all to a document and printed it out for my next visit to the used bookstore :)

Good morning! I have the Janet Marsh book. It's beautiful, and I ended up buying an extra one because my husband was adamant about me gutting it. Just yesterday (Tuesday), I found an Edith Holden book at my favorite thrift store!! And yes, I will buy an extra one, lol. What a treat, Pam! Thank you! 😊

Hi Pam , just to let you know , dear Edith died at 49 . Beautiful books , to be appreciated. Tfs

Hi Pam! 💕 Long day. Trying to get my comment in before more storms arrive. (It’s a daily thing this summer. ☹️) I’ve found some great ‘picture books’, field guides, or ‘coffee table books’ on the big books shelf at local thrift shop. Half price day twice a year. 😁 Once I get past the gotta pet it and look at it phase (which takes a while) I cut ‘em up. 😁 Have a great evening everyone! ❤️

Beatrix Potter of Peter Rabbit fame has wonderful images to use and they spill off the shelves at used / thrift stores & yard sales. Different sized versions inspire in different ways.

I like to use Tasha Tudor books. There are charming flowers and animals.

The Concise British Flora in Colour by W. Keble Martin - beautiful drawings 💗🌸🌼

Flowers of the Countryside by Marjorie Blamey (1980) very nice illustrations

Well ' mother' I didn't know that bout the moths n butterfly's Ty sis u learn something everyday lol Xxxx sp

Pam loves all these books too. I purchased a few at really good prices too. Pam please do a video of the many ways to distress. I would love to see that.

Portrait of a Garden, Kerry Carman she accident that caused a spinal injury and this diary is a record of her time of recovery watching the changing seasons and beauty from her bedroom window, this is a New Zealand garden diary.... lots of black and white flowers, plants, etc but also lots of colour. A Touch of Nature also a New Zealand book, which has some beautiful pictures ❤ Love the Janet Marsh book you showed Pam, so beautifully put together, and some lovely botanicals and wildlife ..... Another beautiful book is Joyce Blake's World of Flowers, and, you guessed it, it is another book from a New Zealand author 🤣. Loved this video, and the suggestions of others are awesome!!! Thanks 😊

I enjoyed your story telling as you went through the book, especially hugging a tree. As much as I love nature, I never thought to put my ear to a tree. ♥️🤗

In the Netherlands Marjolein Bastin & Janneke Brinkman are known for their beautiful watercolour art with plants, flowers and animals. Others famous Dutch artists are Rien Poortvliet and Anton Pieck; both famous for their drawings in vintage childrens books. Anton Piecks designs are the inspiration for the Dutch themepark "De Efteling"

Yes ! I am originally from holland and they would both illustrate a page in two women’s magazines. My mom had subscriptions to those magazines. If only i had known i would be a junk journal maker, i would have kept every single page. 😂😂

Wonderful information and a great way to use the full floral pages. Thank you.

Such beautiful artistry 😊

Wow! This was inspiring. I'm an artist and have written poems, which I've wanted to put into something. But nature journaling has become big too, and I've been working on making my own sketchbooks in order to do this. Why buy, right? Loved the ideas you presented, and all the interesting things you talked about in this one. Thank you!

So cute!

The big illustrations sure make beautiful envelopes. ❤

Pam, I really enjoyed this video. You are a plethora of Knowledge, Thank You for sharing. Love the Buns too, he is so adorable ♥

I love all your shows, and the creativity inspires me!❤ The Sunshine pup report, is awesome!❤️

I've found illustrated children's books in the thrift store discard that I've used. Some pages aren't usable. But hey, it's free.

Thank you so much for the info! I have three EDITH HILDEN BOOKS that I was afraid to use! I fell in love with her the first time I saw her books! I’m gonna look for “ Janet Marsh’s Nature Diary also! There’s lots great info in the comments! Thanks everyone! ❤ to sweet Sunshine! Tyfs!

Not Botanical, but if you like birds, 2 I have come across is Birds of the Northern Forest, paintings by J.F. Lansdowne, text by John A. Livingston, and Canadian Songbirds and their ways by Trudy and Jim Rising with Paintings by Katheryn DeVos-Miller. Both have awesome illustrations of birds!

Once again a great idea. Love that button!!

I totally Love nature. Very informative and some people with other books to look for. Thank you and others.

A junk journal with 4 seasons would be great

Wonderful books. I am new to Edith Holden. Thank you for sharing her books. I will be on the hunt for these books!

Good morning yall! Katie Daisy has some beautiful images in her books. I think one was called how to be a wildflower-a field guide,and she also has a workbook that has beautiful images. Have a great day yall. God bless and happy crafting!

I found a very small book at a Goodwill that I've been using. "Irish Wild Flowers" by Ruth Isabel Ross with beautiful colored sketches.

I found an old fish and game cookbook. It had old illustrations of every kind of fish! I'm using those in my own fish and game journal of my mother's and grandmother's recipes.

Thanks for this interesting information on Edith Holden. I had never heard of her and now I have a new collection adventure to find her books.

Pam, you make my day!! Love your sense of humor 😂. Always look forward to your videos!!

Good morning Pam and Sunshine 🌻

Hi Pam and sonny. Nice books thanks. I love dandelion they are delicious and great for health

Good books. I have an Edith Holden book. Love it. Thanks for sharing your books. Hey Sun Bun. . Have a good day everyone. 😊❤️

Hi Pam. Watching your video and I love idea of caterpillar digi and I thought about cattails and as I am writing this you mentioned them! Lol. I haven’t gone through all your digi’s but you don’t have one I would love to see one. Thank you for wonderful videos and inspiration.

I have a family member that works in a library and she was saying how they have to gut books that need to be taken out of circulation. Now I have a direct line to resources 🥰

I use various AI graphic creators. For instance, I just got a STUNNING image of a robin using NightCafe. Prompt was super easy. "Watercolor drawing of a robin in the style of Edith Holden".

Good information. I just went to a used bookstore where most of the books are just .25. I could have spent all day in there just browsing. It's a junk journalers' haven in there.😊

Dandelions are amazing. One of the few flowers that can be in bloom and going to seed at the same time. (Yellow flowers and the poofs). Also, all parts of the dandelion are edible. Roots, leaves, stems, flowers. (Not that the seeds would taste great… 😂) There are many flowers that look like dandelion that are not quite as desirable or simply not food, but the dandelion is.
