Alright so. I'm getting into junk journaling. At least, I'm going to try to! I have a plan to start myself off with 2, one for personal/random shit so I don't feel so confined, and one focused on my plushies!! Not every one of my plushies will get a page but I will dedicate a page to whoever inspires me in a particular moment. I may not share every page right away. But if I fill in an entire journal I will try to show the finished results of what I created! I will also be doing this at my leisure because this new hobby is an outlet for my creatively and mainly my emotions. Shout out to @ cafe-mouse for inspiring me

#ik cafe-mouse didn't specify if they were making their art of coffe as a junk journaling thing #but I did research on what they were doing n it brought up junk journaling in my search results #n then I fell down a rabbit hole of beautiful and messily created books filled with cardstock stickers and magazine cutouts #and it got me so hype!#my therapist has been wanting me to find a creative outlet to express my emotions #especially because I can't bring myself to draw when Im sad/angry/anxious. nor do I feel comfortable with regular journaling #but last week we were talking about maybe having me make collages yo express myself #n then I saw cafe-mouse's beautiful work #and so its all come together into this decision to start this hobby #my goal is to focus more on the collage/randomness of junk journaling instead of actually writing in them #although I will be doing that a lot in my plushie junk journal #I will write info about my plushies on one side and make a collage for them on the other #in my regular junk journal I will focus on making collages based on mood first anf then maybe add some writing into it #I already have a lot of supplies for this (I collect stickers as well as plushies so I have a lot of material to work with)#my grandmother-in-law is also a hige crafter so she's given me plenty of cardstock and stuff to use #and I also have random junk that I collect that I can add in as well (I knew it would come in handy someday!!)#Im just really hype about ths and hope it turns out well and that I don't give up #viti shoosh
