Glad to hear your son is better! I absolutely love your grandsons hair! A little too if you don’t find your dauber sponges: I found a pack of make up sponge rounds at the dollar store that work very well as replacements. I don’t use them a lot so I don’t know how long they will last, but work well until you get better replacements.
Sadly my son is back in hospital. I’m staying with him. We’ve been here a week. It’s an anxious time. Hoping I’ll have good news to share soon! Thank you for your tip, my best wishes , Ali xxxx
Oh my Ali...little Orson is just the cutest!! Very smart little cookie too, speaking Japanese! 😉 Love all your pages with the bright colours for the active days and then leaning into a more subdued palette for that quiet snuggly moment. 🥰 Oh that glue! I have it too...Tombow Aqua Mono Liquid Glue with Pen Tip and Broad Tip. The blurb on the back reads...Dual applicators in one ergonomic dispenser...Pen tip for narrow, small areas, Broad tip for large areas...Strong permanent bond, ideal for paper, photos, posterboard, goes on clear and dries clear, acid free and washable. I don't like it personally...too too wet for impatient me. I can't stand the long drying time and smeariness. I bought it to try as I generally like Tombow products...but not this one. It reminds me of the old fashioned clear tube clear with a sponge applicator at the end that we had at school. A step up from the Clag pot with a brush though. 😆 I just read a lovely little book where the heroines lived on a narrow boat. It sounded very romantic apart from the bathroom and cooking arrangements. 😆 💕Louise
Clag pot! That made me smile! Sadly my son is back in hospital. I’m staying with him! We’ve been here for what feels like a very long week! It’s exhausting! He’s missed the first week of exams which makes him sad after all his hard work! Im hoping we get some good news soon! I’ll be in touch! Thank you for all your kindness, Ali xxxx
@@dabblinginjournals Oh no Ali! What terrible timing too, I'm sure the examination board will have procedures in place for this situation, especially after the pandemic. You must be absolutely knackered...I hope they found you a cot this time so you aren't sleeping in a chair. Sending you all love and wishing for a speedy recovery for Theo. 💕Louise
Hi Ali, luvly spreads as usual. Your Grandson is beautiful! Being a Nana is everything. You mentioned living on a narrow boat! My Mum sadly passed away in March and with my share of the inheritance am seriously thinking of living on a narrow boat! But on a mooring not to move around! Take care Ali, look forward to your next video ××
I’m so sorry for your loss! Sending you big hugs!! I’d love to hear how you get on should you decide to go ahead and buy a boat! My best wishes to you, Ali x
Hi Ali, I love the spreads especially the Totoro one, that's a very adorable clip of your grandson! Totoro is one of my favourite movies too! :D I hope your son is feeling better, and good luck to him for his exams!
Thank you! Sadly my son is back in hospital and has missed the first week of exams which is so sad after all his hard work! So hoping they fix him soon! I’m staying here with him! Hoping for some good news soon! Take care, Ali xx
Such a lovely video Ali, your grandson is adorable! I love his curly hair 😊 Wishing Theo all the best for his exams and pleased to hear he recovered well from such an awful illness. I hope you manage to find the glue sticks, the shop I bought mine from (Libraries and Archives) have been out of stock since I got them, I have seen them on Amazon in the past but haven’t checked lately. Thank you for sharing and again my little face lit up when I saw you had posted a video, you are definitely my favourite TH-camr 😁 x
Hi Ali, sorry to read this, hope he is soon on the mend, we’ve been away with very little internet time sorry for the delayed reply. sending you hugs xxx
I’m sorry to hear about your son!! I hope he is doing better. I can imagine how horrible it was for him and you having to watch it!! Good luck to him with GCSEs…not in any way envious!! They are brutal! I remember mine like it was yesterday even though it was more than 10 years ago now!! I remember living on Waitrose coffee brownies 😂 (they were incredible and I’d bribe myself to revise with them 😂). Good luck to him, im sure he will smash it!! Though completely fixable if it doesn’t go his way! Your grandson is so adorable!! His little smile after he got Totoro right!! So sweet
Sadly my son is back in hospital. I’m staying with him so still haven’t been able to post your happy mail! We’ve been here a week and it’s exhausting! He’s already missed some exams so he’s very sad! Speak soon dear Emily, hugs, Ali xx
@@dabblinginjournals I am so sorry to hear that!! I can imagine! I hope he gets better soon!! Don’t worry about the happy mail!! Not a problem at all!! Focus on yourself and your son!!
@@dabblinginjournals oh Ali, my heart sank when I saw this. I pray that all goes well and I know you will be with him as much as you can. Be sure to rest and take care of yourself 💖
I also have a Sprocket and am happy with it. It was interesting to see the other printer print the colors separately! I enjoyed your video. My journals are filled with Grandchildren pics too. Glad your son has recovered, how scary!
Oh Ali I had commented earlier then watched the video and heard about your son. My daughter had that when she was 5 and she hurt so bad and was in the hospital for days. Like you said nothing they can do about it but antibiotics and gave her tons and tons of fluid because her lymph nodes had intertwined themselves because of the fluid build up and wanted to give her more fluid so she would potty and wash out the fluids. I had never heard of such and it’s very scary. I hope h is doing better
Orson is definitely a cutie. Glad Theo is better now - these things are so scary aren’t they? Lovely pages as usual . I’m so glad you’re feeling well enough to be back with us again.
I spoke too soon! My son is back in hospital. I’m staying here with him. He’s had so many tests bless him. I’m hoping for some answers soon. Thank you for your kindness, Ali xx
Oh no! Sorry to hear that. It’s so hard to watch your kids suffer isn’t it. Hope he’s had some results by now and that they are able to fix him up easily.
I really really love that tombow glue.... it dries down sooo flat (even though it always looks wrinkly while wet) and is definitely permanent. Also for a glue that totally seems like any other basic white/clear glue, it grabs really fast compared to any other I've tried and doesnt dry rock hard so you hate writing on the back of the page. I dont know what makes it different, but its handsdown the best liquid glue ive ever used for journaling/paper stuff😊 (nothing beats Uhu for a gluestick too!😅)
Hi! I've only recently found your channel and I'm so enjoying it. Your journals are beautiful! I am wondering, are you no longer using your Hobonichis? (They are what led me here.)
I’m sorry I’m not using hobonichis this year. But I do miss them, so maybe next year! I’m tempted to go back to the weeks as they are so compact! Thank you for watching, my best wishes to you, Ali xx
I continue to think of you Ali.💖
Rewatching because i miss your videos. I hope you are doing well.
Just wanted to say thank you for sharing all that you share and hope all is well! Take care 💖💖💖
Hi Ali. Hope your doing ok, have missed your videos but totally understand! Take care ××
I miss your videos, hope you’re well 💕
Ali, i hope everything is okay. Sending good vibes your way…
Please let us know that you are well 😢🌷

Miss seeing your videos Ali. I hope everything and everyone is doing well. Would love to see a bubbly video from you again and know everything is ok.
I found it intriguing to watch the layers build up to the photo, I’ve never seen that. I have the Canon Ivy and love it
I also have a Sprocket and am happy with it. It was interesting to see the other printer print the colors separately! I enjoyed your video. My journals are filled with Grandchildren pics too. Glad your son has recovered, how scary!
Hey sweetie, that is tombow glue. Nice to see you on a lovely video❤❤ congratulations with your grandson. What adorable little kid. 🎉🎉 big hug Jackie
Thank you so much Jackie! You’re so kind as always xxxxx

Beautiful spreads, especially with your Grandchild! New here love the way you prep your pages. I think that might be Tombow glue
Im an SLP, he’s so cute, loved the clip of him sweetly trying to say Totero ( no clue how to spell it lol
Just thinking about you, Ali!🩷
I think that clear glue does better with heavier papers and cardstock

Where are you😢? Ill hope all is fine❤
Hey Ali, send you hughs because maybe you like to have them. Thinking of you❤❤
Ali, just a note to let you know that I am thinking of you.
