MEET THE JUNK JOURNALING CLUB MEETING LEADERS…
Stacey Olson
Stacey is one of the owners of True North, and a vendor. She loves to be inspired by the creativity others bring to the group. She finds junk journaling as a way to be creative, without pressure, and to unwind from world.
MIA ELLINGTON
Alternatively “Hi, I’m your friendly neighborhood trash panda. Join me at Junk Journal Club – we have fun here”
MADONNA ARNOLD
“I’m Madonna and I love all things that allow you to play and be creative. It’s never about the finished product when I create something, it’s about the process itself…no rules, no defined lines, just playing with materials and watching something come together from what’s in front of you. “
JACKI McHALE
“I’d describe my creative style as unconventional randomness, organized chaos and eclectic werido. I love to teach people to find their own creative style and to learn to trust the process.”
BETH STRAMA
“I’ve always had a love for crafting and creating. There’s something special about taking an idea and turning it into something beautiful with my own hands. Whether I’m trying something new or bringing a familiar idea to life, creating allows me to express my creativity, find joy in the little details, and share a piece of myself with others.”
