Junk Journaling: Petulantly Proving It’s Not Scrapbooking Since Forever
Junk journaling has officially junked its way into the craft world, transforming old receipts and ticket stubs into high art or whatever you call it. According to The Onion's sacred scroll, practitioners must always be ready to petulantly defend the honor of junk journaling versus scrapbooking — because heaven forbid anyone confuse the two ancient arts of hoarding paper. This rising hobby enthusiastically invites anyone to visit a 'local' (unspecified) spot, perfectly capturing the vague community spirit of craftiness everywhere. Ironically, the official guide itself is a digital article on the ironically named "The Onion," serving all your postmodern craft wisdom freshly preserved for the internet age.
