Easy paper bag Journal

Good morning.
Following on from my previous video on journaling, I have just come across this tutorial on how to make one from a brown paper bag. I don't follow instructions I just do my own thing, but if you want to give it a try, you might find this helpful. 
If you have a used paper bag, paper and glue, you have everything you need to make a stunning new journal! Today I’m on a mission to reduce waste and transform "Trash" into a satisfying, creative Treasure. I made one of these last month while clearing out my craft room and I honestly couldn't stop—they are so addictive to create and even more fun to fill.
No snow overnight, freezing outside.
Now I must put food out for the garden birds, and break the ice on their water bowls. 
Have a good Sunday. Catch ya later.

    1. Thanks Will. I have seen something about this in other publications. Half of me tends to think it is fear porn. But which side is it coming from. If it does happen it will take years for it to come to fruition. Maybe after I am long gone. Glad you are staying alert to the situation.

  2. Personally, I like to have guidance or a pattern to make something I've not tried before. I am quite capable of making booboos WITH guidance - ignoring it would be a recipe for disaster - and I do quite like what I make to turn out how it is supposed to look! That's just me though. Personally, I think the clear-the-trash lady has merely reshaped her trash pile!!!

    1. I have to stop myself from collecting more trash. I have just texted my friend about some plant pots I have seen in a skip. I know she collects them. She texted me back and said can I go and get them. I have collected stuff for her before. Now the answer is no.
