Christy, you have some beautiful papers ! I like grunge too. I also have to walk away from the papers and it really helps. Sometimes I sleep on them. Loved hearing Navy's Sweet little voice and seeing his tiny helping hands ! Thank You for all that you share and God Bless ❤😊❤
So many yummy papers for your writing journal. It was a fun treat to see those tiny little hands by your side…precious!! I think you should write a little in this journal about Navy’s TH-cam premiere…..those tiny helping hands…😊! I love the look of your tea dyed wax paper and I will be experimenting with that on my next batch of dying for sure. Thanks for the inspiration! 🥰
I too, practice the "walk away" approach and it is a creative person's hidden treasure. I am a total grunge journal person who never writes in a journal so I can't help you out other to say two signatures looks right to me.
@Karen-xn5ss I think not grungy it up is what's throwing me off! Lol 😆 I love the grungy. Not sure why I thought it would be a good idea to try something different. My brain can't handle it 🤪 thank you!💖💕
If this is going to be a writing journal with no ephemera added, I would leave it as one signature with a rounded spine. It's lovely❤❤ Thank you and enjoy your day!
@janetvisochi-baum7572 agreed! Do you think I should leave writing? Or mix it up, and make a couple of each? Decisions, decisions 😆 thank you so much😊💖💕
@@CraftedByChristyShop there are times that you just need a place to write your thoughts and ideas, but then it's also fun to incorporate ephemera on to the idea pages ❤️ when you create the idea you would have a place to put that creation on 🤗 Have you heard of Morning Pages? Just learned about this type of journaling and I think it will be very helpful for me and wanted to share with you - Sharing is Caring 🥰
@janetvisochi-baum7572 yes, and I keep telling myself I'm going to do that. I think you have just inspired me to do just that! Thank you. I think that's how I will use mine. 😊💖💕
So far so good, and love the little rose-like flowers you drew with the swirls Christy. 💜💜💜 I drew a couple on a book page for my "Memory" journal, hope to make a bunch for later use. Well back from the doctors, more x-rays taken so time to get back to cleaning and organizing, enjoy your day!!! 😊
@@CraftedByChristyShop Nope, nothing found so far, heart tests all came back normal, as did stomach, esophagus, etc tests, which is awesome, but annoying, I just want them to figure it out and fix it 🤨 One more heart CT to be done, back and neck X-rays done today. If they find anything, which years ago they found the inward bulging disc, they'll order another MRI and see if that's causing the problems. 🤔 Of course, not that I want their to be a problem, but being able to walk more the 20 ft, or vacuum or even wash the dishes, without doubling over in pain sure would be nice.😟 The tension from the pain has got my neck in a knot, waiting on my massage girl to give me a call back so I can get in to get the knot worked out, mhm, this is all getting old.... 🥴
@@CraftedByChristyShop Thanks, and thanks for mentioning Trashy Treasyours, already watched two videos, it's need to be break time to get some real work done, jeepers, lol .
If this is a writing journal, you prob won't add too many pockets and ephemera so I'd leave it like it is. It is beautiful. I love the papers. I kept looking at them as you kept flipping thru them. Oh, they are gorgeous and are going to be so much fun to write on!!!!!! I enjoyed this video!!!!
Ohmygosh how cute are those little hands!!! Hello Navy ❤️❤️❤️ I think these papers are just so beautiful. as you were folding and arranging them, I keep thinking of spring, my favorite time of year! the journals are gonna be so vibrant and happy. I love big stuffed crinkly journals and for mostly writing I would do the 1 big signature, I think, probably! I always end up with to many papers lol. Maybe a little break from ll the colors might help your mind unwind some. It has really been a fun process to watch and learn from. ok wow, I'm rambling again lol, sorry! I actually have a couple of questions still... squirrel brain at play lol...Ok do you have a video on dying wax paper, i can't seem to find it? question 2, i saw a comment about morning journals, what are they please? ok i stop now...ty Christy 😊
lol I love all your questions! I think I might have a couple dying the wax papers, but this for sure one of them. It's actually one of the first things I dye in this video.th-cam.com/video/-SCpwWINkcA/w-d-xo.html I kiss his little hands all the time. It cracked me up when I saw them on the video. He's so stinkin' tiny, and cute! And, yes, I think I'm partial lol A morning journal is just waking up of the morning, and before any electronics, you write down what your thoughts. Even dumb things, like i'm tired, don't feel like going to work today, or man I have a lot of laundry. You're supposed to start the day this way for 5 - 15 minutes. I think the purpose is to refresh, repurpose your soul. To be a calming thing, instead of waking up, and checking our phones. I think there are even books about it. I haven't done it yet, and honestly don't know that much about it. I just thought it sounded interesting, and I can see where it would be a great start to the day. Have a great day kid!
@@CraftedByChristyShop No, the one with the die cuts - Golden Oldies, Art by Marlene. Very colourful. I haven't seen it before but found it on a UK craft supply site. Loving your videos xx
The gel colors are in a squeeze bottle. Wilton brand are in little plastic screw top jars. Which they will do same thing. Just more money. A bit more product. But not any better for this purpose. Gloves yes. But it does wash off. Eventually. Lol. Not a week. Lol😊 enjoy. Great journal this will be. ❤
@bette-annflood835 thank you so much. I made that video before I got your response yesterday, or I would have included your information. I'm so sorry, Bette. I had it all messed up. I hope you will still share with me! I'll pay better attention, I promise! 😊💖💕
I am like that when it is time to get serious making things for srping/fall/winter/Christmas craft shows. I just kinda piddle around after Christmas and search pinterest and wat TH-cam for ideas. But when its time to start.......what do I make first. One year I actually wrote down 5 orv6 projects on pits of paper and put them in a bowl and drew one. That didn't last long.
It's trashy treasures, not tatty. I'll double check the link, but I copied from her page. Gosh, hope I didn't mess that up. Thank you. No, not tracing paper. I meant wax paper, cheap stuff from dollar tree. 😊💖💕

@@judycopeland1995 thank you! I could have edited those things out, but I love seeing his little hands. 😊💖💕
Oooohh! All😊 my love to darling Navy.
It was so gorgeous seeing his wee little hand.

@CraftedByChristyShop thank you Christy ☺️
You could do two signatures and add a spine to make it longer.
@Jill_K_S yes!! Why didn't I think of that! I think not doing grungy things makes me not be able to think! Lol thank you, thank you😊💖💖💕
What is that Golden Oldie book? Love the sweet little paws appearing at your desk!
Googled it and found it. I'm in the UK.
I was going back to the video, because I can't remember. Was it the music book?
@@CraftedByChristyShop No, the one with the die cuts - Golden Oldies, Art by Marlene. Very colourful. I haven't seen it before but found it on a UK craft supply site. Loving your videos xx

Edited to remove my first comment because I was incorrect.
Going to try to tea dye wax paper. Thanks, Christy!
Or did you mean tracing paper?

@ sorry if I got it wrong!
@@GraceBlossoms4U bless your heart, no worries! I'm glad you cared enough to tell me. You're sweet, and there is a tatty too 😊😊
@ thank you for understanding. I’m now subscribed to both 😂
