Old School Gluing in my Junk Journal | 25 Minutes, No Overthinking

In today's video I’m doing a 25-minute smash book challenge in an unfinished junk journal — fast pages, no overthinking, and lots of happy mail + desk rummaging. I am going in old school and gluing things in so they have a good home :) I explain where my junk comes from and why I am gluing this stuff in :) I also chat a little about ephemera, getting my junk better organized and sharing a quick update on my Halloween channel + what’s coming next there :) Thanks for watching! Hugs, Lisa xo This video is not for children.
