I really wanted to take a moment to show that, if you want to make your own journal, you don’t need to create the whole thing from scratch.😊 Any pad of paper or notebook can be made into a beautiful journal. So I grabbed the small spiral notebook that I use daily to jot down my thoughts and to-do lists, and went to town!😁 It can be as simple or as elaborate as you like. Even just some pretty paper and stickers can transform an inexpensive composition notebook into art!♥️ Let your creativity shine!✨ #upcycle#notebook#craftidea#kidscrafts#handmadegifts#journal#vintagejournal#vintagechristmas#tryit#create#art#pov#asmr#chill#vibes#vintage#kitty#todolist#booktok#journaling#catsoftiktok

Good morning!☀️☕️🍁 Minx is joining me for a little dining room tour.😁 It’s funny that I can’t remember what I had for dinner two days ago, but I can recall where I purchased each item in our house.😂 Everything is mismatched and well worn but I wouldn’t want it any other way. 🥰 #thriftlife#thrifter#thrift#thrifted#roomtour#diningroom#tablescape#used#recycle#repurpose#upcycling#sustainability#lesswaste#rescuecat#siamesecat#sheltercat#minx#thrifting#decor#farmhouse

#Thrifting at our small local #SalvationArmy store today. I say “small” because the Sal’s in the area we moved from were huge in comparison to this one. I’ll have to make the #drive to #shop at those again soon.🛒 🙂#AudreyHepburn#thriftshopping#thriftstore#thriftfinds#vintage#craftsupplies#glass#mushroom#shopping#thrifthaul#rubberstamps#recipes

The #bricks I can definitely find a use for, and Mr. Chubbers’ #tractor #tire #condo will stay, but there are a lot of things to clean up and dispose of properly.🙂 I’m trying to do something in the #yard everyday #weather permitting, and today I’ll be #thrifting too! 🛒 #dumpster#nature#brush#songbirds#habitat#rabbits#wildlife#backyard#nature#homeimprovement#sweatequity#giveback#cleanup#thevintagehomestead#thriftshop

There’s so much I’d love to get set up to create a little #homestead for us, before I get too old to do it!😁 I #dream of establishing a big #garden to #grow our own #food, raising a few #chickens, and having #fruittrees and #berries. What a #gift to #share with our #future #grandkids someday.🥹💚🍓🫐🍒🍎🍐🥕🫑 #homesteading#selfsustainable#selfsufficient#natural#realfood#healthyliving#healthyfood#growfood#oneacre#gardening#oldschool#countrylife#raisedgarden#growth#passiton#nextgeneration
