Memories from the Past Junk Journal Part 1

I am making a junk journal of memories from my past.. starting with childhood. So many memories I know I have forgotten but I want to keep those I remember so I am putting them together.
I am also trying to get out of the structured, organized, in-order "box" I am in.. and trying to teach myself that things don't have to be perfect...just nice, fun to look at or just "there" to be used! I am making this junk journal in signatures, one signature at a time. I am doing good in that chronologically... I am not in order!  I figure... get it down before I forget! However, the signatures are seemingly being put in date order anyway! So that satisfies a little of my "need to be in order" demand... and making it easier to get out of that box!  This is part 1...the first signature of earliest years. Next signature (part 2) will be middle years and so on. I am finding I can make about a decade per signature! And.. if not in order... I don't care! I have the memory and that is all that matters! (I do date the memory tho!) So... hope you enjoy watching this and get some ideas and inspiration to preserve your memories!  Don't forget to subscribe if you want to follow along and leave me a comment if you want to! I would love to hear how you are preserving your memories!

This video is about making a single signature...and finishing that one, and then.. make another. When I have 3-4 signatures.. I will then bind them into a book

This video is "part 1" of how to get your memories on the page... and forget about organization and chronologically correctness! Just get them down!

Memory Junk Journal ...Making Signatures before binding

Not all memories have pictures. Not all memories have a item to make you remember them. Most memories are just that.. a memory.

So I decided... I am just going to write down my memories.. and make them into a journal.I sat at the PC for awhile typing out memories from my childhood. I know I have forgotten so many, but at least these are a start to what I do remember.

My other project with this journal is to make signatures so that the pages lay more open and flat. I have asked for alot of tips on this and this video shows what I have settled on. I think it is going to work!

Here is the video of it on my You Tube channel. Check it out, tell me what you think!

My First Attempt at an Altered Book

I have been trying to get out of that proverbial "box" so I gave "altered book" style of a junk journal a try. I like it...kind of. But at the same time.. I don't think I will do another one... at least not yet! It turned out okay, and fun and looks really cool closed and standing up right, but I still have issue with the one inch of the pages from spine onto the page and I don't like the printed words on the pages as if not covered, it makes them think I have left something out.

But still.. I think it is nice and fun and I am to a point, happy with it. So...here's the You Tube video of the flip through of it. Subscribe if you like, give me a thumbs up and get some ideas and/or inspiration to make your own Junk Journals a wonderful piece of your history!
