Mistakes are almost always fixable but can be frustrating as well. This is a very nice journal! Miss your videos. Praying you and your family are doing well. Esther

Just checking in, missing your videos, but hope you are doing well and still crafting! 🥰

Aw that’s ok😊I’ve done that too

The first time I did a journal with TWO signatures, I did the same thing and I know I've done it since then, but you're right, it is fixable. Don't know how I missed these last two videos, but I have been really busy and very much out of my routine lately. You look so good and you remind me of my granddaughter, Samantha. Something in the eyes and cheekbones, I think! I've made a couple of starts of journals and just making more ephemera lately. I do love the stenciling accents on the pages...no bulk and always looks classy! 😉❤❤❤

I love the sewing around the pages and the different sized papers

Hello! Love your cute pink top! Thanks for sharing this video😊Love the iournal

Nice project, I really like the size and simplicity of uncle's journal. Good to see you again. 😀

I love watching others pick out papers for their journals and then their placement. I'm trying to be more versatile in picking things out, using papers I might not of thought of. I have even thought about reorganizing my paper supplies into basic bundles of size and variety instead of keeping the like items together. I can always add to it and subtract a paper that won't work. Anyway, I might give it a go when I get some time. I've been doing little projects, like fussy cutting, snippet rolls, masterboard collages and small ephemera. You are the master of masculine journals! No one else I've seen does them. I'm looking forward to this one. Take care!

Good to know you are alive and well! The yard looks fantastic! Mine's an overgrown mess, but help is on the way later this month. My daughter and her husband are coming to work on the backyard. And to help me move some furniture. Just overwhelming for my husband and I. Looks like you are well on your way for the engagement party. My pretty little great granddaughter finally made her appearance on the 26th, the very day my baby book got to her (just as you predicted) and the momma loves it, so I am pleased all around. Baby Ivy is healthy and family is doing great! Can't wait to see her in July. Don't work too hard!

Come visit me in Florida!

Gorgeous journal! Love the 4 seasons in one!

L💜VE it!

I love your journal! Lucky is the girl that gets it! Hey, I've missed your videos, hope you keep making them. I am frantically still working on the Baby Girl Baby Book. She's still hasn't had the baby, but it's really close. And I have company coming tomorrow! Hair on fire! Take care❣

Very nice. Blessings and hugs 🤗

Good morning! You covered a lot in very little time, but all of it was interesting. Most impressed with the recycled bracelets and the earrings were fabulous. I have some of the same jewelry making supplies and my mother in law gave me a lot of her costume jewelry. I always say I'm going to do something with that jewelry, but have used very little of it. Currently, still working on a baby girl baby book and she is due in May so I've got to step it up. I've been busy with taxes, two Easter services and a few other projects. Also, my sister and I are planning a trip to Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and back to Texas later this month and into the next. We're visiting our other sister, a couple of my daughters, both her daughters and a niece in a whirlwind trip. Thanks for posting 😃

Lol, I switched two family's Christmas cards one year. They got a kick out of it. Glad you caught it early. Those boxes are awesome, I'm going to pass this idea along to my granddaughter who is engaged. I can tell that you are really getting amped up for the wedding, so fun!

I like the little labels, too, but I love, love the tin! LOL! Good morning!

So glad you are back! I saw that you had posted a video just as I was getting ready for bed and decided to save watching it until this morning (with my first cup of coffee). And sorry to hear about your family member's passing. ❤🙏❤. You may remember how I was going to take a year off from buying. Well, I'm hopeless. I made it thru the end of February, but I've since made a few purchases, but have also managed to get some nice freebie digitals from a few of my subscriptions. I am still making an effort to scale back my purchases. I've never ordered from Aliexpress, so I'm interested in seeing part two. You inspired me to start up my own skinny journal, just for me...random thoughts, experimental page deco, paints, and other mediums. It will be a place for ideas, mess ups and successes, lol.

You've got a sweet singing voice! I sound like a cat on a hot tin roof myself. Dang! Anyway, what a great idea/happy accident. It could also be used as a side tuck. I am going to try some tomorrow and thanks for sharing that idea! I have loads of book pages. I have found lots of freebies lately. Crafters are so generous so we should promote them, so here's my recent list: VibeofVintage Artymaze The Treasured Page SevenPlaza and of course, Pam at PaperOutpost gives out one image a month. I know there's lots more, but these are the ones I found recently.

Aw, you had me missing the mountains with those wonderful pics and video! We sold our Colorado property in December and it just about broke my heart, but we just couldn't use it like we used to. 😪 The journal is very nice! You're keeping it, right? Looks like you had a great time. The ice sculptures are amazing!

Cute! I love the ruffled page trims and all the little tags ! Thanks for aharing

Lovely writing journal ! Tyfs

It was so fun watching you doing battle with the artificial leaves and glue and winning! A lot of fun surprises in Nicole's journal - I don't think I've ever seen a name in a journal - what a great idea!

Nicole is a lucky girl, that is an awesome journal. I really love your style and your sense of what is going to look amazing on opposing pages. I'm so all over the place (like my mind). Have fun with your daughter and family at the festival. I've been to Cripple Creek once when my daughter lived in Colorado Springs years ago! It was fun. You could use some R&R. See ya when you get back! 🤓

😅No judgement on my glue fingers...we've all been there!

I was just fixing to send you an email to see if you were okay. Then I thought to look to see if you had put up a new video and voila! Sigh of relief. I am so sorry to hear of your family's loss. It's so hard to lose those who are in the prime of their life, who had plans for a long life and to have it cut short. And so hard for those who loved this man. We lost my oldest daughter's husband in a similar accident when he was only 39 and it rocked our world. We miss him so much and watching my daughter go through her grief was excruciating as well. It's been 12 years now and we all leaned heavily on our faith to get through it. God bless you all!❤🙏🙏🙏❤ Your folio journals look awesome. I've made two now and love how fast they come together. I still haven't bought anything this year :)

Hello my friend watching from korea! Wow that's awesome journal series you do😊 I enjoy watching your video! Keep safe my friend full support 😊

I just finished one of these folios and followed most of your construction. I am really happy with it, I just got some papers in. I messed up the closure hole, it was nowhere near centered. So....I put in another hole directly above the first one and I threaded a coordinating color bias tape (lace) through both holes, wrapped it around and it turned out great. Hope that makes sense. Very impressed with your new machine, but it looks over my head. I love the effect though, really pretty edge! "Bronc-ing", omigosh, I had to laugh!

Love these papers. I started out by mass making’s whenever I started making journals. And now I have a pile of stuff… that is just not my style…. So I quit doing that, unless like you said. You are doing more than 1 journal at a time. Or if you have done it long enough that you know your crafting style. Thanks for sharing

Ohhhh. I would love to see a detailed flip through of that journal of your grandmothers. I have been collecting for a while. And like you I started a few years ago. And made about 45 covers. And now working on filling them. And have some really good books. Women of the west. Rodeo contestants, notorious women. Etc. And lots of Native American stuff that I collected. But have a hard time putting it together. And I have 8 different red buffalo plaid fabric placemats. To make journals about love your style. Thanks

Have you done any journals specific to rodeos, horse women ??? I would love to see some for inspiration

I recently made 2 journals with the eyelets and stretchy band, one for an art journal for my 5 yr old great-grandaughter and a regular journal for my grandaughter who is 20 now, but has always journaled. They both really loved the idea of being able to add pages. I may make myself a forever cover and do the same technique for bible study notes. You're going to be finished in no time! You're so sweet to make these for the gals in your group❣

Thanks for showing the procedure for these folios. I probably saw Pam's video on this and have forgotten. I save a lot of videos to watch again. Picking out papers for the signature is hard for one journal, but doing 10 at a time is a real time saver. I saw a video recently of Nik the Booksmith's where she had found a couple of signatures that she never used and decided to make a journal because the hard part was already done, lol! Anyway, ready made signatures would be an inspiration to me to get a journal done, even if I make a few changes to them. Always good to figure out how to improve your art. I'm really liking these folios.

Happy New Year to you! 😊 Your junk journals are really cool with vintage look. I have never thought of making junk journals but you are inspiring me now 😍😍

Oh my goodness, girl! 12 journals in a month sounds daunting to me, but I'm a slowpoke crafter. I've turned my attention to organization and am inspired by your new craft room. I'm in a corner of my bedroom and have so much stuff to sort through. I initially kept everything close by, but I've ordered some more storage containers and will move some of this stuff out (clearly marked of course) to another area. My current mess is inhibiting my creativity and productivity. I am using one space for bible study/journalling, genealogy research, bill paying and junk journalling. I also keep books for a small non-profit cowboy church ministry that has a revival once a year and do the bulletins for my regular church. Anyway, I am very interested in your folios. I'd love to mass make a bunch for last minute gifts when needed. Great idea!

The layout and corner pocket came out great! I'm working on a tab bound book and I'm going to make a corner pocket for it. I think I'll make a few to keep on hand, because I really like that concept. I should look for more freebies. Great tips!

Very nice sharing 🥰 your new subscriber ✌️

Great use of the little book! Gave me some ideas for when I don't want to do a big project, but just want to play with some ideas. I have lot of stuff to use up between now and the end of the year, so I need to get cracking. Don't work too hard!

I'm very impressed with Taperlogy! Great unboxing and loads of good stuff. I almost missed this post b/c I was busy the last 2 days and it was way down on my notifications. I think we are all about to settle down after the holidays and eye surgeries for which I now have 20/20 both eyes and was able to pass my eye test and get my drivers license renewed. WooHoo! My last check up was yesterday. I got a diamond painting kit and a calligraphy set for my birthday. I finished the diamond painting in 5 days and tried the calligraphy proving to myself that it's going to take loads of practice. And I've gone one week, no craft purchases! only 51 weeks to go! LOL! Glad to see your post!

What a sweet daughter! You are going to have so much fun with those books. I have a couple of the ones you already had, but hadn't seen the ones she gave you. I have an older Bible journalling book and it had fantastic ideas from a multitude of journallers and the art supplies/techniques they used. Happy New Year to you and your family!

I miss you so much! You have to take a trip to come see me soon!!

Wow, I was just wondering what you'd been doing, so I found you and yes, you've been busy! Thank you so much for the Christmas card. I didn't get any out this year (I'm so bad), but with the surgeries on the eyes, I just couldn't manage it. Thankfully, they are done and a complete success. I'm having to wear cheaters for close work, but hey, I have been in glasses since I was in grade school, so no biggy. I have been rearranging my craft area for the past 2 days, which is just a corner in my bedroom and have decided to quit saving packaging and bags, cereal boxes and other papers, until I get low, because it was getting out of control. And I'm am going to do my level best to not buy anything next year. You have really been an inspiration! My husband did get me the embossing/die cut machine I wanted for my birthday, so I feel I'm set for at least a year. Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 😁🎅🥳

What a cute set! I bought a few from 2021 and 2022, but missed that one. They offer great stuff you don't see everywhere. Love the garden theme! Glad you are feeling better! I'm getting the right eye cataract surgery this afternoon and once it heals, I'll be back to crafting. I did do a collage masterboard yesterday that turned out fairly well, I think. So happy you sold a couple of journals. Don't work too hard!

Hi Laura....I got home Saturday, two days of rest, then cataract surgery on one eye and preparing for the other mid-December. My vision is perfect in my new eye, but I'm still going to need readers. They won't give them to me until after the other surgery, so my old eye and new eye together make crafting near impossible, lol! The trip was fantastic. My daughters had all kinds of crafting goodies for me from stuff they didn't want anymore. One daughter took me to her favorite consignment store and I got all kinds of goodies from the crafting and book aisles. I think I'll pull a Laura and not buy anything new for a year! My crafting space is getting out of control. Your tags are beautiful and I really love the vintage look! These would be great for any gift giving occasion.

😁

Thanks for sharing 😁Happy Thanksgiving

What a great journal! I love the no theme journals, because they use up those odds and ends from other projects. I find them enjoyable, and very low pressure.

I was just browsing on my holiday trip and caught this video. You always keep me entertained and I know this journal will look terrific when you finish. I'm off to see if I missed another of your videos.

Your talents never cease to amaze me!!! Always been a bit envious as I can barely color inside the lines (but I used to be able to rhinestone like a mother hummer)
