Waterfall Journaling Space For Junk Journals

I thought I had blogged about these. But I guess I didn't. I was trying to find where I saw the tutorial and searched on here and there was nothing about it. I did these a couple years ago. I couldn't remember where I saw the tuturial. But I did another search (LoL) and I had said either You Tube or Tik Tok. It was Tik Tok. Kaylnicjournals. If you want to go look. It is so easy. I might do some more soon. Our youngest son is home sick today from work. So I might do quiet things (yeah, that's my excuse- and I'm sticking to it 😝). I think I did this one first.

Then I did this one, narrower to fit in my junk journal. The first one was too wide, and I sent it to someone who I had made a bigger journal for. Hmm, I should post that, too.

This is inside my junk journal. You only glue the two sides, and bottom. Leave the top open for a pocket to put things inside. I love this one because you can just use note paper, or whatever paper you have. 

This is the journal I made to send (the same person that I sent the first waterfall card to). She is into bible journaling. I just traced the letters "Prayer Book", from a letter stencil I got from the dollar tree. And the cross, I just traced one on scrap paper to use as a stencil. The "girls" are ones I got in a pack at Hobby Lobby, I think.

The inside, I made a little pocket. It's just a $1 something notebook I bought. I covered the front and back covers, inside and out.  

I made all these last summer. Speaking of my junk journal, I haven't posted about that either. 

It all started with a cereal box. 

And a coffee bag. And a You Tube tutorial. 😁

The outside cover.

The inside..

The finished journal. 

I forgot to post the picture of the side. It was a lot of work. (For me.) I made the "signatures" out of "junk": Newspapers, magazines, old business envelopes..  People post these junk journals with all this fancy paper and things. Um. It's a JUNK journal...   I did use "fancy" paper for the cover and the inside, but.. Not for the signature pages. 

Well that's all for now. My cat(s) jumped up here. The one is little, and she was just in the way. Well then the other one (big boy) jumped up here (I didn't even know he was in here), and spilled my whole glass of water all over the place. Well I cleaned it all up and closed the door. Now he's out there clawing at it and meowing. Mama's boy.

Moving Right Along

Now that St. Patrick's Day is over, it's time for Easter stuff! Even though our boys are all grown, I still do Easter crafts, cards, and crochet things..  This was an idea I had, using the peep outline I made to cut cookies out with,.. (I traced one out of paper, too.) It's an envelope flip book card? I have no idea what it's called, but someone sent me one and I loved it. I "inked" around the edge of the whole bunny with a marker. I was thinking about adding a sentiment in the middle of the bunny. I kind of like it just like it is, though. I had some Easter paper from last year that I used.

And the envelopes are ones I got from all my aunt's stationery/envelopes. I got some Easter stickers at Meijers for $3. Little peep bunny stickers. I will probably cut out at least one of the bunnies I put on the front, too; to put inside. And who knows what else.   

These pictures are out of order. Oh well. We went to Frankenmuth, and went to Bronner's. It's the world's largest Christmas store. Yeah. And I got Easter salt and pepper shakers. Well, if they didn't sell Easter stuff then I wouldn't have bought them. Lol. Supposed to be a Christmas store. Anyway. I didn't see anything I wanted Christmas. (Can you believe that? I can't... LoL) 

I made an Easter card out of a napkin. I was going to take a picture of the napkins, too. Oh well. 

I made some muffins yesterday. They're St. Patrick's Shamrock Muffins. Just kidding. They're chocolate banana muffins. I used six bananas (all I had in the freezer) to make these. I got the recipe from this book. I've had it forever.

I took this picture yesterday. I think my Christmas cactus is confused. LoL. Actually, I think it's a Thanksgiving cactus. But when I bought it, it said "Christmas cactus.". You can google the different types of cactuses. ~Anyway~  Mine has been blooming, or had buds on it, since last Thanksgiving! 😕 This cactus has only bloomed once before. It must love the new window I put it in. It's been in a lot of different windows and houses. Well, it's pretty, anyway. I had a piece that fell off, that got flowers on it in the jar I put it in to propagate. I potted that one to give to my Mom, next time she comes up here. This one looks like it is going to have to be repotted soon, too. 

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Well, I crocheted a St. Patrick's Day thing. I don't even remember where I saw this pattern at.  It's on Etsy. But did I see it on Instagram? Facebook? I don't know.. Anyway. The back of the hat opens up, and you can put little things inside it. I was supposed to crochet a loop for it to hang. Oops. I don't even know what I am going to do with this...  I have so many things I crocheted, and they're just laying in my sewing room...  I've been in the mood to just throw everything away, lately. O.o  

Well, that's about all I have for St. Patrick's Day.  I'm not making corned beef and cabbage for dinner tonight. 😝 I'm not supposed to eat cabbage anymore. Which I don't really care about, since I don't like it anyway; except in cole slaw. 

~Until Next Time~

St. Patrick's Day Paper Crafts

I made a pocket letter. I don't know why.. I just wanted to do something crafty, and I was digging through my drawers of paper stuff..  I just used what I have to make this (and looked at a lot of pocket letters on Pinterest for inspiration). I sent this out yesterday. It cost $1.77 to send it.

The back/what I put inside the pockets. I didn't want it to be too thick to fold up. Oh, I forgot to upload the picture- it fit inside a business envelope. I haven't made a pocket letter in probably 10 years. Oh, I take that back. I made a mini pocket letter about four or five years ago. I don't have a picture of it, though.

And I made a Clover St. Patrick's Day card (Pinterest inspired also). I don't have a stamp that says Happy St. Patrick's Day. So I just cut a thin strip of paper for the bottom. 

And I used the same paper to make a "matching" envelope. 🍀

And I also made a little gift bag to put odds and ends in (some of it is pictured). I also sent this out yesterday.   

I'm already ready for Easter now. 😝🐰 I'm making an Easter envelope flip card with a Peep cut out I've had forever. 🤷 I don't need any more stamps or stickers, I have too much stuff. 

That's all for now. 

~Until Next Time~
