FALL JUNQUE JOURNAL, et al

 

Here is my Fall Junque Journal;
first, I ATE UP all the 
delicious crackers 
[of course I did-- hahaha]

and then.....

I created my new 
Fall Junque Journal
from the box...
;))))

There are five signatures
and plenty of room that will most likely
take me through December...

Here is today's page
for the 5th of October:
⇊⇊⇊⇊
Staying true to the concept of
a junk journal, you can see
that I even included my 
allergy med label that 
came in today's mail...;)))

A Lot of the pages come from 
an old, used cookbook
that I saved from my 
last journal which was 
an that cookbook Altered
into a Journal...

Sometimes, as above, I write 
right on the page; other times
I add journaling pockets and
cards for a more private
scribblings...

Here is tomorrow's page:
The page is from an old Monet
calendar; there is a little mushroom
journaling card in the pocket 
on the right...and just bits and
bobs that drew my eye...
{stamping my girl on each
page...}

all these photos]

Across the top is part
of the packaging from my 
9 1/2" squaring up ruler
from Quilt in a Day...

What fun to include 
all these little items...
💃

******************
On the Covid Booster Shot
front:
FOILED AGAIN!!

We were scheduled for
appointments at 9:40 and 9:50
at Walgreens this morning--
Just as we were leaving our phones
rang to tell us that they couldn't
do them as they had too
many to handle ...
???????????????

What kind of reason is that?
Why let us even schedule
an appointment?
AAAARGH

Well, after fussing and fuming
for quite a bit, the two of us
decided to do the weekly food
shopping instead...I mean
we were all set to go out anyway...

S I G H .....
👹👺👽👿💀

I have friends that have been 
cancelled 3 and 4 times..
Who IS getting those shots?

So, we are trying one more time
and have made appointments for
Monday morning....
STAY TUNED...
Fingers and toes crossed!!

Hugs, Julierose,

  1. Reading: "Bleeding Heart Yard" by Elly Griffiths

  2. Your journal and its pages are so delightful. I don't know how you manage to sccumulate, organize and know what ephemera bits youhave. So diverese.Do you have a system? Files?

    Maybe schedule your next Covid like midafternoon instaed of mornings? I ve always gone like at 3, no problem.You know how many older folks like to get up and pout early, maybe it's the busyest time?

    I enjoy all of Griffith's modern series, the one that is "Jazz Age" w magicians and show girls [?] not as much. How about Anne Cleeves? Kate Ellis?

  3. I keep hearing how frustrating it is to find Covid vaccines. I'm waiting for awhile. I love your journal pages. I love how you put so many different pieces together and they all seem to work so well! You've got the magic touch!!

  4. Your junque journals always intrigue me. I love how you use all the little bits of 'life' in them.
    As for the vac's, I've been hearing about a number of people who have had their appointments canceled and it seems they just can't get enough vaccines for the demand. We aren't due until November so will have to see what it's like then.

  5. You are so creative with your journal, Julierose. I love that you include every day bits to it. Good luck getting the shot, how frustrating!

  6. DH has gotten his flu shot, I will get mine next week. At our Walgreens, they are short staffed and the pharmacist is supposed to fill all the prescriptions (there are a lot of sick folks these days) AND give all of the various shots they offer (shingles, COVID, flu, RSV, etc.). Megan can barely breathe they keep her so busy. We haven't scheduled our new COVID shots yet but we will (and I will ask the next time I pick up a prescription to see when they are the LEAST busy based on your experiences and my observations). PS - I think your junque journal is awesome!

  7. Wegman's (the local supermarket where I get my shots) sent out a notice that they are having trouble getting sufficient COVID vaccine in stock. I'm waiting a little longer to get mine since I have to fly to Houston in mid-Dec for my eldest grandson's wedding. I'm looking forward to the wedding and spending Christmas with family, but I'm not looking forward to flying, especially right before Christmas.
