April, these are to be PARTS of a journal that can be made by the recipient, right? Not a full blown already created journal? Embellishments, front and back pieces,, page ephemera? you for clarifying!! :)
Of course my theme will be nature filled items! :)

Ephemera are
things that exist or are used or enjoyed for only a short time.
"there were papers, letters, old boxes—all sorts of ephemera"
items of collectible memorabilia, typically written or printed ones, that were originally expected to have only short-term usefulness or popularity.
"Mickey Mouse ephemera"
Of course I got this from the dictionary.
Ephemera is all the little things I love to collect and I can never have enough.
I hope that helps Marlene.
Big Hugs,
Debbie

Thank you ladies for helping each other... I was incognito this last weekend, still fighting the CRUD!
Dianna, Yes, you can do a blank or blankish journal, you can decorate a few pages, all pages, and include extra bits and bobs so the recipient can decorate further. A pen, stickers, decorative papers, ribbons, paperclips, etc... etc... What ever you would like to do!! I was striving a for a mini kit this round, something to get someone started, something that could be closed up in a pouch or ditty bag or tin and thrown in a purse or overnight bag. Hope that helps!!

I'm very ready with my package! I've gathered up all kinds of beautiful materials and even did a couple pages already for my partner. I hope they liked the direction I went. Do we design the cover and back also or not?

Yay! Love your mini junk journal kit, Marlene and Wanda Sue! Love the multiple mini notebooks idea! One for home, travel and car! Thanks for sharing a photo!!
Sheila,
Your mini junk journal should mail by Monday, we've had quite a bit of winter weather, snow and ice this last week and a half, so I'm a little delayed and haven't been running any extra errons this week. Thank you for your patience!
