Hi there. My name is Martha and I create journals. Some refer to these journals as "junk journals." However, I prefer to call them "Journey Journals" mainly because using a journal is usually about your life and the journey you're taking in life.
I have an Etsy shop, which is called Shabby Craft Studio, and here is a link.
https://www.etsy.com/shop/ShabbyCraftStudio I hope you'll visit now, and return often. These journals make great gifts - birthday, Christmas, etc. My prices are low, and fair. At the moment, I ship only to the U.S. but that may change. Shipping is just SO expensive overseas, it's difficult to fathom that someone would pay more for the shipping than for the item.
I also have a YouTube channel, where I show what I've made and I sometimes show techniques I've learned. If you'd like, give me a visit and see if there is anything that interests you.

I mainly make journals in which people write. I embellish the journals with pockets and tuck spots, tags and other little things to write on, and tons of writing space. I think a journal that is somewhat decorated is fun, and useful, and still leaves space for you to do what YOU want to with it - whether it just be writing in it, placing photos in it, drawing in it, or using it to keep track of your health; you can use a journal to glue your favorite things into as well.
I use a lot of tea stained copy paper, and some other interesting papers, to include grid paper, lined paper, masking paper - yep - the type you mask off walls and windows with when painting. I also use book pages.
I hope you'll join me on this journey of making journals. It's fun, it's fulfilling, and most of all, the fact that someone wants to USE something I made, is so enjoyable to me, I can't even express how much that makes me happy!
Take care. I'll be updating often and showing what I've made.
Hugs,
Martha
