Because junk journaling at the coffee shop with your mom is cooler.
I made custom journals, gathered supplies, and headed to our local coffee shop.
It was such a fun experience to sit, chit-chat, and create.
Let’s Get Into It
Create a journal
If you have the supplies to make a custom journal, DO IT!
Or grab your regular journal that’s ready for spreads.
Don’t forget the supplies
Remember back in January, I taught you how to make that groovy craft box?
What did I call it?
The “DIY MOODY TRINKET BOX”, full of paper, scissors, pens, and a few embellishments, was really all I needed to transport.
Pick the coffee shop
My mom had never been to Detroit Brew-ti-ful, so I thought it was a good idea to take her there.
They serve classic drinks like brewed coffee, espresso lattes, lemonade, pastries, and sandwiches.
I got a salted caramel latte, and my mom got the brewed coffee paired with a ham croissant sandwich.

Stick to tape
One of my biggest tips for junk journaling at the coffee shop is leaving the glue at home unless you have a craft mat.
While I did bring my mini craft mat, I only used double-sided tape to avoid a mess.
Bring a mini trash bag
If you can find mini trash bags, bring them.
I mean super tiny trash bags to toss tape and paper scraps at the end.
That’s the one supply item I wish I had.

Less is more
One magazine can get the job done. It’s more challenging and exciting to create a spread.
I didn’t bring a lot of cardstock and stickers either.
Just enough.
When you’re creating in a public space, try to limit the mess! ALWAYS.
