Purposeful Junk Journaling w/ journalingclasses
Join @journalingclasses in The CraftNook for a playful session of pure creative joy.

Think of it as scrapbooking for the soul.

Junk journaling & crafting – decorate your own journal with premium materials
Guided journaling prompts focused on creativity, play, and self-expression
Collaging, envelopes, and secret notes – because some thoughts are meant to be tucked away
A cozy, hands-on experience with all materials provided
A warm, welcoming community of fellow creative spirits
