I’ve been doing “junk journaling” (i.e. collage) since the start of the year and it’s been an incredible creative outlet most days since. I have the luxury of saving all the little sentimental items I naturally collect from a trip or even in day-to-day life and giving them a purpose/place to live. No more indefinitely hoarding useless crafty things with no plan or having to throw away pretty packaging!

I saved a lot of packaging, tickets, etc. from my week in Oahu and filled in empty spaces by cataloging how we spent our time and our favorite memories. These pages turned out to be some of my favorites in the journal. I still have more “junk” from this trip that I haven’t used yet!
