Celebrating, and Big Excitement Ahead!

🎉 🍂 ✨ September is here, and with it comes my birthday on September 9th—a day I’ve always thought of as the true gateway to the season. 🎉 There’s something about this time of year that feels like a fresh start: the air shifts, routines settle back in, and creativity seems to spark even brighter.

This season is extra exciting for me because we’ve officially entered the fourth quarter—a time filled with new opportunities, energy, and inspiration for both life and creativity. For us junk journalers, it’s the perfect season to embrace new projects, capture the changing days, and get inspired by the beauty of fall.

On top of that, I’m beginning a brand-new cat-themed journal project that I’m absolutely thrilled about. 🐾 I’ll be sharing the entire process over on YouTube so you can watch how I create my personal journals from start to finish. This project is especially close to my heart because it combines two of my favorite things—journaling and cats! Expect plenty of playful touches, vintage-inspired cat ephemera, and cozy pages that celebrate our furry friends. If you’re a cat lover, this will be fun! Here is one of my favorite cat gifs to celebrate!

I’m also thrilled to share that my Junk Journal Membership Group will be opening on Black Friday! ✨ This will be a safe, welcoming space where we can create together, share ideas, and encourage one another throughout our journaling journeys. If you want to be among the first to know when doors open (and get in on any special surprises), make sure you’re signed up for my mailing list.

As I celebrate my birthday and step into this new season, I can’t help but feel grateful for everything ahead. This fall is going to be about growth, creativity, and connection—and I can’t wait to experience it all alongside you.

Happy Crafting!
