Hopeful 2021 Junk Journals

Written By Emily R Strader

I began 2021 looking around for ways to help 2021 be a better time for us all. I began looking for positivity statements, stories, notes, essays quotes, spiritual and bible verses….and more…..in hopes to include them in my junk journals. This has become a hugely gratifying feat and I have continued into the year making them as the ideas flourished!

This is my 11th Hopeful 2021 Series Junk Journal titled ‘Trust’ - this has enhanced my desire to create more and more journals that incorporate beautiful sentiments into the junk journal pages.

I have a tremendous collection of family hand me downs, thriftstore collections and gifted hauls.  I have discovered the grandest way to utilize these materials by reusing them and turning them into journals, look books, scrapbooks, artistic books and more.  I am on an exciting adventure and not a day goes by that I’m not jotting down and idea or collecting materials on hand to re create into something new.  So many ideas, so little time!  Join me in this creative adventure!
