Thanks for the tips, they are very helpful and encouraging. I have often started things and would get discouraged when I miss days, then I don't go back to finish, which is another measure of discouragement. I like the tip of keeping at it and going back to pick up where I left off, as well as doing a little at a time being better than doing nothing at all. Thanks again. ADEBO (Tim's wife) PS I love this journal idea! I recently started an accordion ideas book, which I enjoy working in, so adding the collage journaling element to that is inspiring to me.

So Meg...I have finally summoned up the courage to create my own accordian junk journal! It is imperfect (I have made one before but it was using watercolour paper which is quite thick and the only paper available to me). Now I know I can use different papers 😁 it is so much fun! I love the fact I can use most papers and paper bags etc. Thank you Meg! So glad I subscribed to your channel ❤🌹 Oh! Do you have a tutorial for making the covers for your journals?
