When I’m at the thrift store sometimes I find super cute baby clothes. Some of them that have embroidered appliqués or designs on the front that would make super cute journal. Some of them have cute patterns or nice trim that I cut off to use in my junk journals. This one I cut out in a square and sewed it on to regular card stock and then glued it to the front of my journal. My cutting is not precise but that’s what I like about upcycling doesn’t have to be perfect!
I love all things crafty! I’m an upcycler, mixed media lover, kit curator, glue gun user, antique treasurer, sticker hoarder, art appreciator and paper maniac. I love scrapbooking, junk journals, vintage ephemera, paper crafting and creating! This is a place for me to share all my crazy creative thoughts with you. I hope you can be creative right along with me! :D

Under Construction
Shortly after my last post I decided to take everything out of my craft room and organize. (Why, oh why did I do that!?) My room is good size and right off of our living room. I stacked everything on the living room floor and the couch (neatly of course). No one complained. I mean, I did leave enough room for two to sit on the couch and have an unobstructed view of the television. A couple months later I herd little grumblings about the "stuff". So I put some of it in totes and stacked them in the hallway. Don't panic! I did leave plenty of room to escape in case of fire. Truth be told, and I am mortified to say that all the stuff sat everywhere until last week! Argghhhhh..you know the usual stuff happened the last year and half. Life, life and more life! I got a boost of energy last week and psyched myself up. Dollar Tree, Container Store, and Target to the rescue! I stacked and situated baskets, drawers and containers. I am happy to report that I am now the proud owner of the "shell" of a craft room. I say "shell" because it is now ready to be filled with all the stuff. You know the stuff I put into the totes long ago 😂 Putting everything away is going really well. Netflix is ever do quietly yelling my name..but I am holding fast! Work will be completed within the week (yay!) and I will report back. Ahem, I really do mean it this time.
A place for everything and everything in it's place!
Happy Crafting,
Melissa
