Sweetie, I love your video. It's so professional yet personal. I'm 81 years old from Florida and have just discovered junk journaling about 10 days ago. Viewing videos on You-tube is a hobby within itself. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[SilverLockes]

I've decided to use the phrase "handmade" journal if I actually put it together myself. Doesn't matter if I use "junk" or other types of supplies. 😊

[sherries]

I like your idea that it’s your book and it doesn’t need a name or a category. You can do what you like and what makes you happy.

[blondethebone]

I absolutely LOVE the way you present "junk" journals. You bring a great deal of class to your teaching. I agree with you... it is absorbing and "a thing of joy!!!" I don't even want to call these anymore, "junk journals".... I see them as treasures. I love the passion as much as you do.... I am not a beginner of making these.. but, love your teachings so much that I watch all of your videos.

You are an inspiration to me. I have always been a paper / junk / tag / envelope collector but I never knew I could actually put those items somewhere. I have also loved to doodle, have always loved paint, but always felt so much anxiety because I can't draw a straight line, and I got bad marks in school in Art. But you have allowed me to develop and encouraged me to paint, and draw, and glue... thank you so much and a lot of love from Missouri.

Sooo nice to see the face to the beautiful and uplifting voice --- yaaaay! Thank you, Joie!

[eviewoo]

Loved this. Thank you so much. I am almost 68 and have always thought I haven't a creative bone in my body! Due to Covid I have taken the plunge. I am Loving it, feel such joy from doing it and am so proud of the end results. Your tutorial has given me such a boost, made a difficult time enjoyable. Thank you so much xx

I think not seeking perfection is one of the most important things. This is what has been stopping me from getting started. I think that my work won't be good enough. I have realised in the past few weeks, I have been thinking that I need to just get started and lower my expectations. I have loved watching this tutorial. It's been a great help.

[johnfowler]

Oh thank you so much Joie! - I too have been scratching my head and say how the heck do I start. I love your presentation style. Just explanation, no histrionics or false over-exuberance. You have given me so much to think about and try. And your explanation about using found objects is spot on for me. I was having big trouble justifying buying special papers and toppers just to make up a journal. Your style goes back to the sort of things my gran used to make in the 1950s. Apart from glue (which she stole from my Grandad's workshop) she never bought anything - she called it a scrapbook and that's exactly what she made, books out of scraps she had lying around or could cadge off her friends. I think the beauty is by doing it your way. The book / journal means much more - its more about things that mean something to you and show what makes you tick. Again, thank you so much - I've got a lot of thinking to do.

Thank you for this video joie I love making tags n pockets and everything to do with paper. I love journals and stationary but I don’t use a journal to write in every day, I just really enjoy making them it might seem silly just to make it to give it away but it’s the creative part I enjoy. I don’t think it matters at all what they’re called maybe we should call them joy journals instead of junk journals ❤️

[lindaroberts]

This was an exceptional video for us beginners! Loved all the encouragement and positivity you bring to this wonderful world of "Junk Journals".

[marytaylor]

❤️❤️❤️this confidence-building video. Your twinkling lights at the top of your desk match your styling personality. Thank-you for this descriptive video...

[candylequere]

Your video has been inspiring. I've been so overwhelmed by the thought of 3-5 signatures journals that I haven't done any "junk" journaling, just watched video after video! After seeing your one-signature journals, I feel ready to start one of my own. Thanks for such a well presented video.

[lisaeby]

Just got new smart tv, so I got to watch Joie as big as I am! It was like taking a private class. Well done, Joie! Thank you for a lovely jj session.

[judiemjacobson]

I'm so glad that you didn't just start making journals like everybody else did. Your channel is so important because what you do is not like anyone else and it is absolutely wonderful. I have learned so much by watching you and re-watching. I'm looking forward to the day when you'll be back live again. Prayers of blessings and healings from Albuquerque New Mexico

[pecanthecat]

as a minimalist, i'm struggling to embrace the idea of me making one of these journals (i always want things that have a purpose), but i enjoyed learning about this hobby. i've made vision boards/books, so it's similar but different. all good!

[shanayoung]

Thank you so much for this video! I have struggled with making "good" journals. You have certainly helped me realize that whatever my style, it is good. I am ready to express myself my way! You are a great inspiration. God bless you and yours.

[lenellamaxwell]

I love your take on giving a journal a name. I think it puts you in a box. I have just come to call all of my journals, journals. Whether they are truly junk journals, art journals, altered or deconstructed books, digital journals, or paper pack journals. I simply love creating all kinds of journals for all kinds of reasons. So, I stay out of the politics of what journals are. When people start labeling things, it causes division. They are all journals of one kind or another. So for me, I just call all of my works journals and am happy with that. If other people have a problem, that is on them.

With all of that being said, Joie, I love your style. It is very organic and very calming. :-)

[ytfzumx]

Thank you so much
I'm 26 and don't have mamy people around me and most videos about junk journal, although really usefull, make me feel like i have to spend money to by lots of rints and tools and stuff to begin cause i really don't have "the old things already around" or post card or idk thrift shop or anything of this nature! I've been into junk/art/.. journaling for years and neber dared to start them as every video i watch, i don't have most things in them or they don't come out good as i'm bot really an artist or whatever but videos like yours give me courage to try again as you simplify it and don't make a strong niche about them, what they're called or what should be used specially as younger generations just began working so can't really spend much and don't have time on hand either i even have to journal on the go so yeah thank you and all the people like you who share your struggles and thoughts on the beginning and dont gate keep journaling !

[TheGrannycarol]

i call mine chill out books. i see them as storage for my creative work things that give me joy to look at things that make me laugh and encouraging words and memories. thank you for the video and taking time to share your knowledge
