UPDATE: I misspoke in my video about the name of The Botanist kit. I apologize and thanks to Valerie for catching my error!

I have named my journal "Vintage Janey" (It's my middle name and as a little girl, I preferred it to Dody my dad would call me "Dorothy Janey) as I want to honor all the old and vintage pages contained therein. This journal has had two lives: first as a mostly vintage ephemera journal with a clunky binding and now as her fully realized self.

I used the following kits in the sprucing and re-working of this journal:
The Botanist, Wildflowers, Beautiful Birds, Junk Journal Basics, Botanical Collage sheet.
