@@topherloverjones8449 Aww, thank you!! Can't wait for you to experience this new booklet with you! And happy to see you LOVE Outlander, toooo!! 😍😍🙌🙌💗
You are help me so much with your videos because I lost my mom week before and when I watch your videos I feel a relief, your creativity and your attitude are amazing. love from Israel ❤
My Grandma and I shared a love of Outlander together. We would talk about the books and the show. it was great. She swore once that she couldn't die before Clare and Jaime so she knows what happened. Sadly......covid and she passed in 2020. When the next book in the series came out it was so hard for me to read but I told myself I had to do it because she would be reading it with me.

❤❤❤❤😢😢Awwwww so sweet....yes, she is still with you.
I love your philosophy when it comes to hobbies and journaling! I relate so much. I’m currently in a reading and creative slump and this really helped me reframe my thinking. Thank you so much for sharing this ❤️
I kept waiting for you to announce the book and when you finally did, I let out an audible sigh. I too, read a portion of it in the late 90s. I put it down, then when I saw it was coming to Starz, (first), I picked it up again. You’re so right about timing. I became obsessed. YES, it takes over, but 5 days is a record I think. I’m re-reading them now. They’re that good and I’m 75. I must find that tea, London Fog, and follow your recipe…while enjoying the books. The author is working on the 10th and final book of the series. It takes her a while (the size). Also, 2 yrs., ago my 2 daughters and I took an Outlander tour in Scotland. It was on my bucket list, especially after I learned I have 11% Scotts DNA. OK, that’s enough😂 Love your channel.

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! I'm so glad to hear we share the same love for Outlander. Timing really is everything, isn't it! This series just has a way of taking over your life in the best possible way! I made sure my weekend was clear from any plans when I binged for first 2 seasons! 😂 Wow! You got to do the Outlander tour in Scotland?? Lucky!! Visiting Scotland is top on my bucket list as well! 😍Thank you for sharing your story and for your kind words about the channel. Appreciate you being here! ❤️📚☕
Your videos always bring so much joy into my day 💕 Brilliant creative ideas, and your bubbly warmth radiates into my space as I’m creating alongside the video ☺️
You are wonderful. So creative. I could listen to your videos over and over again
Yay another video. I love watching your videos and the stories you share. You inspired me to get back into journaling. Now I'm thinking of creating my own zines! 🧡This journaling community is wonderful.
Serial boxes and other food packages work pretty well for junk journaling, too.
You are so creative! I never thought about junk journaling, but your videos inspire me! You have so much enthusiasm and joy for journaling/notebooks! Thanks for all the wonderful ideas! Morgan Harper Nichols has an affirmation that says " I am making room for things that heal my heart". So I do need to focus on self-care activities! In a previous comment I mentioned Diane in Denmark on some of her Friday videos called weekly planning self-care gives four self-care assignments/ideas that one can choose from for the week and in those videos she mentioned ideas like spending time in nature, creativity, new recipes, listening to music. Also Mariane Cresp mentioned in her boost your mood video about creativity and music. So music and dancing are great. I also watched Kennedy from the channel Cozy K, cozy hobbies to try videos. I also like walking as a form of self-care. This includes outdoor walks and KZread walks like Gina B from the channel Up to the beat fit and Leslie Sansone Walk at Home.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m thrilled to hear that my videos have inspired you to think about junk journaling. Your enthusiasm for self-care and creativity is truly wonderful. Morgan Harper Nichols' affirmation is beautiful, and it’s so important to make room for things that heal our hearts. I may have to add that within my own journal. That reminds me, I need to catch up on Diane's channel as I have found her content in the past so helpful! Thanks for the reminder and for sharing these wonderful ideas and for being part of this creative journey! 😊
I found an old book and I'm just going to junk journal.The whole book is that a good idea
An enjoyable video. I also love Outlander - One of my most favorite shows to watch.
You have given me so many great ideas.. Thank you.

Outlander is amazing 😍I watched the first season and then read the first book of the series and both were incredible! I quickly became obsessed with the series!
Love the new junk journal! Looking forward to seeing it grow!
Just started Mary Stewart’s Trilogy of Merlin… read it SO many years ago. Thought I wd enjoy it’s escape into fantasy once again. She is such a descriptive wonderful writer:) …my righthand is in a cast…so no creating or journaling for quite a while!

I love Mary Stewart’s Merlin trilogy! It seems like it’s not very popular (anymore at least) but I think it’s my favorite Arthurian retelling
Thanks for all the creative inspiration with everyday items that are all around us on the daily. Still wanting to read some of the Classics which I never got into when I was younger.

Omg Outlander is amazing! I cannot wait for the next season/final season? I don’t know I can’t remember lol I Loveeeeeee it!! ♥️♥️ I might read the books, but I have so many in my “to be read pile” I’m trying not to buy any more books. 🤣 I LOVE your journals, you inspired me to keep every sticker I come across, & my goodness I have loads already! There’s no need to keep buying these things! Xx

Omg, right?! Outlander is absolutely amazing! When I tell you "obsessed," I literally mean OBSSESSED! Love me some Jaime! 😂 Not that I need any more books either, but everyone says the books are so much better (like in most book to show/movie adaptions), so I'm excited to compare. I’m thrilled to hear that my journals have inspired you to keep all those lil stickers you come across. It’s incredible how quickly they add up, isn’t it? There really is no need to keep buying more when you have such a fun stash already. Thanks for sharing your excitement and for being part of this creative journey with me! ♥️📚
I love the idea of scanning the ephemera to make it "paper" for your own journal! I'm so happy you've found your love of reading again. I've tried watching the show but couldn't get into it...but I do want to read at least the first book (it's a chonker lol). Thanks for doing the long-form video, too! It was perfect background noise while I was working on my own reading journal/eating dinner. 🙂

Yes, scanning has been very helpful as I can still use the "junk" without limitations with the texture. So happy to know you enjoy these longer videos, too. Yeaaah, Outlander has some intense scenes...especially a few that I was NOT expecting 😲
You can pick up those priority mailing boxes for free at the post office. 😊

👋🏽I enjoyed hanging out with you! I need to find a nice box for my paper bits. I was going to use a basket, but that box is a better idea. 💚
LOL my Mom was OBSESSED with the Outlander books and then the show about 7 years ago. She made my husband and I watch the first season with her- it was really good, I need to finish the show and or read the books!
Omg! Outlander is so good! I am on season 5!❤
❤❤❤ the Outlander books. You got an incredibly great deal! Magical!!! I still need to read the last one but now I think I should reread them and then binge the shows.
You should read the Outlander book series before watching the tv series! It’s so good, you will love it!

Hello, No, you are not the only one, lol. I, too, have a stash. I recently got my things out of storage and ran across my massive pile. Which is in a large gift bag with a busted bottom. It's time for an appropriate permanent solution. Love your suitcase
Oh that notebook is soooooo cute, Michelle! You can get those flat rate boxes for free at your local post office. I believe I will get one and make one of those covers! I have your two “zines” and a couple of notebooks I can use. I like it when I cover something like that with washi tape and make a design or pick a color family and cover it with tape. It really looks cool! And yes, I have seen all the seasons of Outlander🎉 Loved it too❤ Until next time ~
Now this was what I was looking for. Somewhere to put my little journals (A6 I use) nicely Have you heard about a Commonplace Book? I came across them some time ago and now use some mixture of journal/commonplace book
Totally Adorbs Michelle! 📖I agree, I watch more youtube than i do my TV; nothing really good on anymore anyway LOL. I haven't used my Zine books yet that you have created for us because the pages are already so beautifully decorated! I been starting to cut magazine and catalog images to try and make up vision boards or attempt to create layouts that appeal to me but haven't yet glued anything down yet. I'm excited that you are showing some inspiration in your Zines. Thank you for sharing all you do 🙏Sending Luv always ❤

Thank you so much, Cynthia! I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying the Zines.🙌 Don't worry about not using them yet; sometimes just looking at beautifully decorated pages is a joy in itself! Inspiration will find you at the right time!🥰 Cutting out magazine images for your vision board project sounds like a fantastic idea. It's all about finding the inspiration bit by bit. Eventually it'll all come together. Thank you for your lovely message and support always. Sending lots of love right back to you! ❤✨🙏
you got me pull out my junk journal I didnt touch for almost a year..been just collecting and hoarding for the longest :) so inspired! and Oh my gosh, Outlander!

I'm happy to hear that you felt inspired to pull out your junk journal again🙌🙌 It’s so easy to collect and hoard supplies, but diving back into creating is such a joy, especially after a break. Outlander really is amazing, isn’t it? Love it SOOO MUCH! What a beautiful memory to have with your newborn during maternity leave. Yes, it started as a book series! Definitely worth checking out! I've been told the books are much better than the show! I totally agree; sometimes we need those slumps to recharge and find new inspiration. Sending you lots of love and creative energy, my friend!💖📓
I was wondering where you were! I’m one of the weird people who watch ALL your you tube videos. LOL😂. OUTLANDER!!! What an amazing series. My husband and I were SO hooked! Yes. Season 1 Ep 1 hooked and then that was it - HOOK, LINE AND SINKER! We enjoyed watching it in 2014 (when it started). My husband read about it in a review and told me about it. Initially I didn’t think I’d like it but OMG!!! It was and still is a great series. Game of Thrones is a great one too. We started watching it this year. We never had time for it when we were working and I thought people were crazy for making such a big deal about it. Now… I’m one of those people. Love it!! So, you also have to check out House of Dragons!! WOW!! Just so great. I was laughing so hard when you mentioned OUTLANDER and how it took over your life. 😂 I get it. Loved it. Thanks for sharing this idea with us. I’m going to try it as well. ❤❤❤
Loved this video! Wondering how you scan things though? Do you just take a photo of it? Or do you use an actual scanner?
Meraviglia! Grazie per i tuoi video!

I'm currently reading a book called Return to the House of Usher by Robert Poe. If you're thinking this is connected to the Edgar Allen Poe story, you'd be correct because the writer of Return is distantly related to Edgar Allen Poe. I'm not that far into it just yet as I've been super busy but I'm DETERMINED to make time for it in and among everything else. thank you for sharing this with us. All the best to you.
You're scanning your pieces. Why not just use the junk pieces as is? Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏽
