Junk & Gems: A Junk Journaling Meetup

Calling all paper lovers, sticker hoarders, and journal-obsessed creatives—this one's for you.

Junk & Gems is a cozy, in-person gathering where we bring our journals, our scraps, and our creativity together. Whether you're brand new to junk journaling or deep in the scrap-life, this event is about sharing inspiration, swapping supplies, and creating beautiful things side by side.

• A welcoming space to journal, collage, and connect with a journaling community
• Creative prompts if you need a little spark
• A “Gem Table” where you can swap or share extra scraps, stickers, or washi
• Time to chat, create, and get inspired by fellow journalers

• Your current journal(s) or notebook
• Your favorite supplies (scraps, washi, stickers, glue, pens, etc.)
• Anything you want to share on the swap table (optional!)

We’ll be gathering at an amazing local coffee shop with cozy vibes and plenty of inspiration. Beverages and snacks will be available for purchase—just bring your journal, your favorite supplies, and your creative energy.

We’ll also have a selection of journal supplies provided by one of our local sponsors, so you’ll leave with some extra gems to play with!
