My name is Bren- I live in Phoenix, Arizona with my partner, three cat children, too many aquariums, and a jungle of house plants.

I'm really big on reusing, regifting, and upcycling! I'm never offended if you pass on items I send if they aren't your style, if you reuse packaging, or anything like that. I hope you don't mind if I do the same.

If you have not received my envelope, please let me know! I weigh my envelopes before I send them, but in case there's ever postage due on delivery, let me know so I can make it right.

I also keep buying the small denomination stamps that you can only get in large rolls. If you ever want some, just shoot me a message, I'm happy to send a bunch. Right now I have the 2-cent lemon stamps and the 1-cent bobcat stamps!

• For JJJ Let's Make a Junk Journal: I'm currently working on a few junk journals- a purple and green nature journal, one PINK (the brightest pinks I can find), one butterfly (I will probably always have another butterfly journal in the works/in the queue!), and a neutral journal (this one will never be done, haha).
• I want to start making beaded charms for junk journals, but don't want to start buying a ton of beads. If you have a few random beads to spare, I'd appreciate them!
