Welcome back to the Crafternoon Podcast hosted by Daisy ​⁠ @MyGreenCow  and Meg ​⁠ @megjournals  📖✨

This time we're diving into the history of scrapbooks and journals! Daisy takes us on a journey of scrapbooks in the 1800s, stationery adverts from the newspaper archives, and a look at journals passed down in her family. Later, Meg is joined by Mandy from @paperofthepast on Instagram to chat about collecting scrapbooks and the stories behind the pages. We hope you enjoy joining us for this crafternoon!
