Composition Book Box for Christmas
I’m getting started on my Christmas gifts for this year. I have a few friends and family I like to make presents for, especially when I can find a good project. 😉 Thanks to Sherry – The Posh Paper Lady on YouTube – I have the perfect project. It is a two-part project. The first part is decorating composition books, which I wrote about here: https://junkjournalephemera.com/decorating-composition-books-with-asian-art/ The second part of the project is creating a lovely book box, designed to hold four composition books. Here is a link to Sherry’s video on YouTube: Here is my version, decorated with Asian Designs from my Etsy shop. I used kraft paper cardstock…

Working on Christmas Gifts
One of my favorite YouTubers is Sherry, The Posh Paper Lady. She creates wonderful paper crafts project that work well in conjunction with Junk Journals. Recently she presented a two part project using simple composition books. I’m going to use these for Christmas gifts this year. I spent the last couple of days creating a test set. 😉 The video of the first part is here: The first part is to decorate the composition books with covers and insert useful pockets. Here they are. I used several designs from my Etsy store. I printed my designs onto card stock. For the pockets/folders, I used a 12×12 sheet of kraft paper…

Custom Boxes for Storage
I often build and decorate custom boxes for my Junk Journal supplies. Most recently I got a large number of Tempera Paint Sticks and wanted to put them into an easy to handle, sturdy storage solution. The hardest part of this was figuring out the inner box dimensions. This isn’t a perfect fit but it works well, so I’ll keep it. 😉 This storage box was constructed out of chipboard, covered in Kraft paper cardstock and decorated with washi tape.

Vintage Office Stamps
In the last year or so, I have scored some wonderful vintage office stamps on eBay. They are in desperate need of organization, which I might work on today. 😉 We’re getting a new, custom made storm door installed and my office is right off the front hall and steps away from the door, so I’ll likely be hanging out in case the crew needs anything. I just finished some gifts for the OWLs (Our retired lunching buddies – OWL stands for Others Who Lunch.) J, my husband, wanted to be surprised with the other OWLs. He hasn’t seen them yet, so I’ll post those pictures later in the week.…

Vintage Encyclopedia and Junk Journal Planner
In 2023, I bought a wonderful set of old encyclopedias on eBay. They were actually Annuals and were in a replaceable binder format. In a haze of excitement, I decided to make 9 Junk Journal Calendar/Planners to give as Christmas gifts to family and close friends. I started in July. (What was I thinking? lol) I did finish them in time, although it was close, since 6 of them had to be mailed. Fast forward to late 2024. Jeffrey, my DH (Dear Husband) ACTUALLY used his. He tracks his medical readings every morning and used his to do so. He requested a set of 2025 calendar pages for one of…
