About Me : I'm Bianca ! Wife & mother of 2 handsome boys. During the pandemic , God called me to begin hand crafting junk journals within my closet. I utilized what little I had accumulated from thrift shopping prior to the lockdown. As my family & friends began grieving the loss of loved ones , I got to crafting & gifted them my handmade journals . I wanted them to have a outlet where they could express themselves. Whether that be through bible verses, quotes, or songs . This craft is so versatile & there is absolutely no wrong way to journal. If you would like to learn more about myself & junk journaling come check my poshmark.
Love that lace! And the gold burlap really was a perfect backdrop piece. Wonderful job, my friend. ❤ I’m Excited for fall too but it only lasts like 2 weeks in my area 😐
Hi Sobrina! Your thread spools dangles are so cute! Great idea on recycling empty thread spools. I don't have any empty thread spools but i do have small and tiny wooden spools that I bought from Aliexpress to make a garland but never did. I should use them and make dangles. Thanks for the inspiration. Hugs 💗 Blessings 😊

Hello my beautiful Cara !! 😍 yay , awee that makes my heart soo happy. Can't wait to see you try it out for yourself . They are soo fun to make and therapeutic. Thanks for watching and commenting ! Hugs ! 🤗 happy Weekend
It's great you re-purpose things. It's always nice to be able ot use something most throw away. I do the same thing on a bigger scale building my metal art.
Lol, this is funny. I just opened youtube and this was the first thing I saw. I thought, hmm, these look like my Pocahontas Golden Book charm 😅😂 and then I heard you talking about my channel but it was a different video 😂 haha omg so funny! Great job though!! They will add so much charm to your journals or you can sell them at farmers market 😊❤ so happy I inspired you 🥰❤️😘
Hello my Beautiful Anna 😍 awwe , thank you ! I loved your charms soo very much girl . You have such a wonderful talent 👏 thank you for your Tutorial. Couldn't have made these with out you 🫣💕 glad you enjoyed it . Keep up the tutorials my dear . Love your channel and thanks soo much for inspiring my sweet friend ❤️ I also tagged your channel for them to check you out 🥰
Hi Sweet Sobrina! Wow! So many colors of pretty velvet ribbons, beads, and wire. I'll have to check this store out. Tyfs Those are aluminum wires, right? Aluminum wire is great for crafting and for beginners. You may want to get a wire straightener with a nylon tip. You'll need it incase you don't like how it turns out. You can straighten the wire to reuse without scratching the color or marring the wire. It's a lot of fun, once you get the hang of it. I can't wait to see what you make. Hugs 💗 Blessings 😊
Hello my beautiful tia !!!! Oooh imma have to check out that wire tool . Sounds super handy. Not sure what happened to the aluminum wire link . It's not working for me no more 🤔 thanks soo much for sharing the crafty tip . Hugs !! ☺️
Hello Mary !!! Happy Sunday 😊 🌞 I unfortunately did not have a booth set up for this event but really enjoyed seeing what everyone brought. I'll have to look up that song 🤔 I wonder if I've heard it . Lol. Thanks for watching !! ☺️
I love your list - good for you to get this written down. I'm sure it helps with motivation. It's great you were able to volunteer and have family over for meals. I used to do that a lot and I've gotten away from it. I need to do it again - thanks for the reminder! Not all estate sales are like that; but I agree that it's hard to go into homes and know that people lived there and to see their stuff. We have some places around here where the items are brought to a general location and you shop at the location, not the house. That feels like thrift shopping to me. I also try to change the narrative in my head and just know that whatever I purchase it's one less thing in the garbage.
Hello Carol !!! Thank you so very much for sharing your input in terms of the estate sale. That's awesome that not all of them are at their houses . I'd bet I'd enjoy that alot more . It was my first one that I had ever been to and was definitely not expecting to feel that way after . I hope you get to host more family dinners . Those are always soo very nice 😊❤ and yes , I agree it's saving 1 less thing from the garbage .glad you enjoyed the video . Hugs !!
BB, congratulations on reaching your channel's milestone of over $1k subscribers. I love watching your channel grow, as well as you with your craftiness. I'm so glad you are trying recipes and enjoying them with your mom and MIL (sounds like another junk journal in the works). I volunteered at my boys' schools and did more at other places; a great way to give back to the community - good for you. Love this a"24 things to try in 2024". I might have to do this in 2025 just to keep things interesting for me. Glad you and Cara are having fun doing this together - looking forward to the next update.🤗😘

You are making such steady progress to your items on the list! Love that you are getting more time for the band and with your oldest boy. Those one on one dates are so fun. I do hope you get to do more of them. And congrats again on your 1k! Hugs
Yes! Thank you Sierra 😊 🙏 definitely enjoying my time with volunteering. My mama used to volunteer when me and my older sister were in high-school and I treasure those beautiful memories . 💕🤗 glad you enjoyed the video dear . Thanks for taking the time to comment and watch . Hugs !
Estate sales can be hard. I’ve been to a ton of estate sales and they are not all like the one you went to. Some sales don’t have the personal care items like you shared in the video. One thing to remember not all sales are based on people passing away. They could be moving to an assistant living center. I usually can tell as soon as I enter the house if it’s the sale for me. If there is a strong odor I leave, and if the home is dirty I leave. My suggestion is if you really feel uncomfortable, just leave.
Hello my beautiful Fel !!! ❤😊 thank you soo very much for the estate advice. I will certainly take your tips .👍🥰 most helpful ✨️ thanks soo much for watching and commenting 😊 glad you enjoyed it. Crafty hugs and blessings 🙌
💕Wonderful share and update BB! Yes, Mommy Me time is a must to rejuvenate and recharge ourselves. So happy to see you were able to volunteer for Jaaziel's band activities. I love volunteering at my kids schools. I enjoyed doing it for 6 years. Never too late. Your journals are beautiful! Am sure they will all find new homes soon. Family time is so important. So happy to see you're having fun learning new family recipes from your Mom.💝. Those red boots, 😆. Look forward to seeing your upcoming sponsored collab, and crochet projects. Yes, to singing more "Please, Please, Please"😍🎵. Congrats on reaching your 1K+ milestone. Happy we could do this together.Thanks for the shoutout! Happy weekend! TFS 😘🤗
