I found this amazing idea while doom scrolling. I decided that it was fabulous and I must try it. So, I reached out to some of my friends. Well… I went from worrying that I wouldn’t even get 10 people, to having almost 20, and needing to ask others to not join this time around. I’m so excited to try this fun journey! I’ve already bought my journal and supplies. I’ll be working on it slowly until we all ship out at the beginning of May.
What is this exactly? From what I gathered, it’s scrapbooking/junk journaling with friends. You make a journal. All your friends make a journal. Then you ship it around. When you receive a journal, you fill out whatever needs filling our from the journal’s owner, then add some of your own ideas to their journal, then ship it on to the next person. You rinse and repeat until you get your original journal back! If you want to see where I got the idea, check out the FB reel HERE!
I’m so excited to do this as I used to scrapbook all the time. I’m also excited because all the women don’t know each other. We all know at least one person in this group (most of them know me), but not every single person. By the end, we will all hold a journal that contains a little bit of each of us. I’ve set up a few guidelines and tips for each journal to help with creativity block. We are still figuring out the logistics of who ships where, when, and how long we keep each journal. We all have busy lives, so it’s not something we will prioritize, but I want to make sure that it stays fun and we don’t get burnt out. I’ll be doing a vlog, as well as doing more blog posts about the journey!! Be sure to follow me on my socials, as well as check in here!
