Justine’s 15-Minute
Desk Dash Challenge
Are you ready to carve out a little “me time” in your busy day?
This 7 day challenge will help you get some much-needed crafting time in
– even when life feels chaotic.
Despite the name of the challenge, it’s not about racing against the clock or a timer (unless that’s what will motivate you most, of course!)
Instead, it’s about giving ourselves “permission” to show up at our craft desks and enjoy some much-needed “me time” – even when life feels busy and overwhelming.
You’ll want to join in with this challenge if…
✨ You haven’t crafted in a while and need that extra spark or gentle nudge to get going again.
✨ You’re feeling burnt out and could use some creative inspiration to boost your mojo.
✨ Life keeps getting in the way and you need a gentle nudge to get back to crafting and making beautiful things.
✨ You’re looking for a fresh, fun way to reignite your excitement for all things crafting and junk journals.
Here’s what you can expect:
✨ A fun 7 day challenge with instant and lifetime access
✨ Access to my “Desk Dash Diaries” detailing the full ins and outs of my own attempt at the challenge
✨ A FREE invite to all future live versions of the challenge, which will include all new videos & resources
Throughout the challenge, we’ll try some of my tried and tested favourites to get our creative juices flowing again, including:
Shop Your Trash: Get creative with stuff “normal” people throw away. Pfft, who needs normal anyway?
What’s On Your Desk: Let’s make some magic with whatever supplies you have on hand or projects on your “to make” list.
Sayonara Scraps: Let’s turn your leftover scraps into something beautiful.
✨ But that’s not all! ✨
I’ll also be sharing brand new projects and ideas you’ll only find inside the challenge portal.

“The Desk Dash Challenge was both fun and inspiring. Each day the activity prompted me to create useful ephemera, using trash, scraps, and the bits and bobs in my stash. Justine’s lovely style and encouragement really helped me to actually get something created every day as I crafted along with her wonderful videos. I’ll use all the inspiring ideas in my own journaling practice.” – Corinne
“Justine’s videos are always inspiring and encouraging. She doesn’t attempt to make herself look perfect – which is perfect for those of us less experienced in this amazing craft – instead she lets you in on her thought process. I learn so much from these videos. Plus she’s fun to listen to!” – Mari
“I really enjoyed The House of Mahalo 15-minute challenge. I found the week of video projects fun and inspiring. Justine is creative, fun and genuine in her videos. I love crafting along with her.”
– Terry Watson
“Justine is the spark you need when you are in a slump. She doesn’t go fast. This way you can keep up with what she’s doing. She gives alternatives to each step and it’s fun to see her thought process.”
– Debra Katz
“Justine, the sweet personality, encouraging words, sharing options, amazing projects and ideas.”
– Pam
“Watching and listening to Justine is always a positive experience. I am usually inspired by her enthusiasm and entertained by her dialogue as she creates. Plus, Justine responds to her viewers’ comments and answers their questions promptly. This is helpful when you are first learning a new task.”
– Jeanne Jordan
“I cannot get enough of watching Justine create! She has so many good ideas and she is such a lovely soul.”
– Cori from Canada
“I found each video easy to follow and enjoyed them as they have given me inspiration to try new projects.”
– Desk Dash Challenger

Meet Your Friendly Challenge Setter Person & Gentle Nudger
Hey, I’m Justine! I’m so happy you found me and my little part of the crafting world.
I first discovered junk journals in early 2021 and I started my blog and YouTube channel all about junk journals in the summer of 2021.
I now help thousands of crafters make beautiful nature-inspired journals they love.
What sets me apart from other tutors and content creators within the junk journal world is that I believe you can love this craft without needing fancy tools/supplies or having to use complicated techniques.
I’m all about keeping things fuss-free, care-free and on a budget. I think simple can still mean beautiful!
If you’re ever in any doubt whether you want to join me for your crafting journey, my favourite motto is: “DONE is better than perfect.” I’m here to prove why this is the most powerful motto you can have when it comes to crafting and making journals.
