Pack Rat Junk Journal w/ Nik the Booksmith 

Love this. Never heard of pack rat journal. Love the stitching all over. Thanks for sharing. I’m loving my membership at The Geaphics Fairy. So many cool images and tutorials 👍♥️

As a dyed in the wool pack rat, I love this idea for a journal! I love the Graphics Fairy, and her wonderful collection of ephemera! Thanks for sharing!

I just saw this video? I thought I had watched all of your video's...But I was wrong, happily so. Because this has inspired me to make a cover I had been thinking about, but was unsure how to incorporate some felt hand stitching on a cover. Kinda reminiscent to a penny stitch. You probably know what that is, but in case others don't know...it's a common Amish craft style of hand embroidery around circles of felt using different colors of felt and embroidery floss. I live in Ohio and we have a lot of Amish communities I have gotten to know so many because I boarded my horse in an Amish area for a few years. I saw a lot of hand made Amish quilts and crafts from all the fun home based shops in the Amish community. I hope I can pull it off. Thank you for the inspiration! :) (Sorry if TMI)

Fabulous journal!

What a treasure this journal

Nik, I love the thoughtful way in which you create your journals. Beautiful.

Love this journal, Nik. I’m gonna have to look for your old packrat journal videos because I’m in love with this one. 🤗

It's beautiful, Nik, thank you for sharing your awesomeness!

I love how the cover is both rustic and delicate at the same time. And the shades of brown & autumn colors are divine! Love all the hand stitches, it just makes it feel even more vintage. I have missed the pack rat & collectors! Beautiful work Nik!!

The stitching here is giving me ideas, even though I haven't had a sewing machine in 17 years. It is a delightful piece.
