Hi Ladies,

If anyone is interested in creating a mini junk journal kit, please sign up below.

This would consist of one mini junk journal something 4x6 or smaller that could also fit into some sort of a holder, tin, box, fabric pouch or evie along with epherema, lace, ribbon, a few embellishments. Something that you could slip in a purse or travel bag to take on the run!

A couple ideas I found for inspiration:

Signups through February 10th.

Mail out by February 24th.

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!!
