JUNK JOURNALING [aka Bad turkeys]

                       MY HANDMADE TRAVELER'S NOTEBOOK

After the Turkey Lurkey Family decided not to cooperate this morning--as in:

                oh, the batting needs trimming, uhhh
               ohhh---- now the backing does, and now
                    I see that the top itself is not even...
                         [This ever happen to you??] 
I got so frustrated--I mean if i keep on trimming it up it'll
fade away into nothingness!!  
Mine eyes have not seen the "glory" ;)))
of these turkeys--this top is a "T U R K E Y"  
                                        ...really....

so, before I did anymore cutting, I put it away for another day...

[I hung them on a hanger facing in--there that ought to
SHOW THEM !!:00000]

My eyes are not reliable--at least......
I'd like to think that is the reason....
S I G H 
anyway...
************************************
And so, onto My TN (Traveler's Notebook) Junk Journaling:

Ahhhh...playtime...papers, glue, scissors, (no rocks hahaha)


I made this one from scratch last year to chronicle
Late Fall into Winter and Christmastime....

This morning I turned to these pages and began :



    
This is about Thom's making his {our family's} famous spaghetti sauce....

I backed the pages with a Wintery scene and glued various items 
on top and did some pen work..
and added my whimsical sewn selvages to the sides...
THEN:
                I have an old, falling apart cookbook that I tore up and added for the wording....

                     Clouds, snowflakes, hot cocoa...comfort on a cold, cold day...
AND
Here is a picture of the opening pages spurring me on....
    I have used old scrapbooking cards, stickers and photos of bare Autumn trees...these pages
                                       are a preview of Fall into Winter scenes...

                   THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY...
I needed to just PLAY around and have fun...make a "hot mess"  
               "Girls Just Gotta Have Fun..."
                                                             RIGHT????

**************************************************************
So mes amies, Mr. & Mrs. Turkey-Lurkey (bad bad turkeys!!)
 are in the dog--uh turkey-- house for now...
maybe this "time out" will make them behave...
👀👀👀..and
hopefully, my eyes will return to normality soom..

Hugs, Julierose, La Blageuse (journaling-euse)
