When I was a little girl we didn’t have much money and would honestly say we were poor however my mum would make (junk journals) with us even though we didn’t know them as such. We would collect any pictures we liked or pictures from food packaging. We had flowers and leaves in there and we would write letters to Father Christmas and keep them in our books. We would also include little prayers or things we picked up at church and we would also put sweet wrappers in there. I loved making these books and my mum and dad loved us so much. We didn’t have much money but love was plentiful x
Your Christmas journal is really beautiful. I appreciated you sharing. I don't have tearful days often missing my son and wishing he was still here. The night I found your video I was having one of those moments and you sharing helped me. I am like you. I don't let the sadness overtake me. A couple times a year it happens. I can't let it happen to often because I want to be happy. Thank you for sharing. It felt like I wasn't alone that sad night. I am disabled in pain and often tell my friends my body doesn't always cooperate with me. I have to back off and rest and hope ir stops arguing with me. Have a blessed week!!
❤simple little heart with a lot of feeling behind it towards you. I do listen to what you say. Your words do help. Thank you. Catching up on your videos. Was a hard holiday for me but we’re good now.
Ronda's Pearls of Wisdom: "not living there & only visiting now and then"...I, too, live by them!! LOVE YOU & sending big squishy & yet gentle HUGS!!! 🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗 Your journal is beautiful...thank you for inspiring us not only in creating, but in life!! So fun to see your new goodies...enjoy playing!! You remain in my PRAYERS always!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I am so excited! Today I get to open the pink Christmas journal I purchased from lovely Ronda ❤ I love your thought that "I don't live there." Thank goodness for modern medicine and professional help because I don't live there, either.
Ronda , I did not comment on your last video because I did not know what to say, quite frankly. Family estrangement is so heart wrenching. But your message today about “ not living there” was so impactful that I wanted to let you know it really resonated with me. So thanks for all you do for us. ❤️
Beautiful Christmas journal, Ronda! Very well said about not "living" in our sorrows. What a sad world we could create for ourselves if we didn't choose to find the better part.❤
Hi dear Ronda! BTW, I too take depression medication. I have tried to get off of it but apparently need to continue it! Very well spoken that you choose to not live there in the pain! Thank you for sharing your heart! Hugs❤❤❤
Hey Ronda without an H my dear sweet lovely lady! I just loved your choice of words about grief - " I don't live there, but i can visit there now and then" Those words had a profound effect on me. All except me and my brother are the only ones left in the immediate family. Except for some "distant cousins" , that i have to deal with once a year , is fine with me 😂 I miss my mom and my dad. My mom i miss the most. You're wise words are right. We can visit there from time to time, we need to tell ourselves "We don't live there". My mom would never want me to be sad. I know she would want me to be happy. Your words also helped me deal with the loss of my sister. Just like you and your daughter, i was estranged from her too. She stopped speaking to me, a year before she died. It was her choice not mine. I felt sad about it. She had alot of problems all her life with drugs. Thats what killed her. 😢 I tried to help her. But now i know she had to want the help. But she never got it. My only hope is that shes no longer in pain and at peace. You're a wise woman Ronda without an H. People need to listen to your words. You have gone through a very difficult time with your daughter. You're going through another one with your cancer. You're a strong woman with a positive attitude about this. You could teach a thing or two to others with your wise words. Ive talked your ear off long enough 😂 I wish you and your family a happy healthy 2024! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for your kind words sweet lady...I so appreciate them.. I still have much to learn, but am grateful for the truths I receive from time to time...big hugs girlfriend!! 🤗
Rhonda, I just found you with your last post......just was so hurt for you. I have been on anti depressants for 35 years....and still occasionally fight the dragon, but I know it is temporary. Your a special woman! I am so glad I found you here. I started my first Christmas ever, ordered pics and am a true love of the 50's and 60's era as I was born in 1954. So I am excited about doing my own thing! Happy New Year! ❤❤Sandy ❤❤❤
Your journal is so special. And thanks for the words of encouragement. You are a strong woman - but not so strong you don't need hugs. So consider a big one being sent to you in this message. 💗
Ronda, lovely video. H O P E ... Having Only Positive Expectations in all things. I always decorate my journals as I make them. I love the idea of decorating the pages as you are working in it. I'll need to give that a try. Thank you. Take care. Keep fighting! Beautiful journal. I also need to print on tracing paper!
I really like your Christmas journal, Ronda! I’m thinking how fun it would be to make a few up for my three sisters for next year along with a nice size package of ephemera and embellishments that I’ve made, some glue, and a pair of scissors! None of my sisters are crafty although one does sew, but they always love to watch me as I work on my journals. Thank you for the inspiration to put these together! ❤
I love your choice of words Ronda..."I don't live there !" So true and so wonderfully said. Adding to my favorite quotes page. You're a jewel in God's crown sweetie !! Hugs, love and prayers dear one from SE Kansas...Krissi P.S. I love your Christmas journal!
I have done a few junk journals and I do like what I have done so far but I still want to learn different techniques to enhance my skill level. The paper clusters that you made are pretty. I will try my hands at creating some myself. You are so right, life happens for us all at some point. That is why it is so important to have a positive support system. A system of family and true friends who are going to have compassion as well as be truthful with you while encouraging and helping us to get through our difficult times. Being new to your channel that was the first video of yours that came up in my feed. I watched it not really knowing what it was about. I saw that you were a crafter so I thought from the title that you were going to announce that you were leaving TH-cam for a while. I thought that because I have watched videos with similar titles around this time of year and basically they have all stepped away from TH-cam for one reason or another. Anyway, this is the second video that I watched and I am glad to hear some cheerfulness in your voice and to hear you encourage others to seek help as so they choose. I am looking forward to watching your videos. Happy Blessed New Year to everyone✝️🙂💜.
Your Christmas journal turned out beautiful Ronda. Hope you had a great Christmas with your family. Hope 2024 treats you with happiness and great health 🙏 ❤️
Loving your words of wisdom my darling, so glad that you are looking on the positive side, you are a very wise and wonderful lady ❤ sending love and hugs to you Ronda. Stephanie from the UK 😊 xx
Hi Ronda! I ordered the Binwish paper edge punch after watching your channel. It was a bit confusing to unlock. Thank you for sharing this new addition to my craft tools.
Your beautiful little journals has come to life Ronda !! All of you pockets and circles. Stamps and beautiful writing all brought love and life to your book!! ❤❤ thoughts and prayers for you and your loved ones this December day !!
Hello Dear Lady, So glad to see you again. What a lovely journal, filled with so many goodies. You are such an inspiration to everyone. What a tremendous blessing you are. I hope the new year brings you much joy. Take care. Sending hugs to you and yours!!!
I purchased the Big Bite first, but I ended up getting the handheld Cropodile as well. It’s one of my favorite tools. Your decorative punch is very pretty, indeed! It took me 40 years to accept that I need my antidepressant at all times. I did have “situations” that made my depression scarily unbearable, but even in the not so bad times I need to take it. The important part is finding the one that works best for your chemistry. One made me tired and “blank” feeling, but another was just perfect for me. Some people need more of a cocktail of meds to get things right. Our mental health is so important and we all deserve to live mostly depression and anxiety free. ❤ Happy 2024, Ronda!
Hi Ronda! I am new, I did go back to hear your story and I think your vulnerability is a true testimony of your love for others. Telling our story is often about giving hope to others. I admire your courage and I love that you are NOT "sitting" there in the space. I am excited that I found you and look forward to seeing your crafty videos too. P. S. I do have a YT channel and if you want to know a bit about me, feel free to stop by and hang out with me over there. Have a wonderful New Year and again Bravo to you! XO XO Trudy
just found your channel and am loving it. I needed to hear a kind voice. You said you live in Hillsboro and I couldn't believe it. I live in Canby Oregon and we have a Hillsboro here. God works miracles in my life and hearing some of your story/journey really helped me in mine.I am praying to find crafty journal people in the area to share ideas and fun times together. I haven't been able to fill the giant hole losing my art teacher mom has left when she passed. sorry to share this random post I just wanted to let you know you have touched the heart of a random person. You are a blessing Thanks Angela from Oregon
I've used a cropodile from the beginning but lately have been wanting to use the regular tools like you talked about. Lol and that punch is amazing. Thank you for your positivity! ❤ Joan
Dear Ronda you are 100% right , we may visit these difficult places from time to time but we mustn’t live there! Your journal is lovely. I know you have lots of things you want to do in 2024 but if I might make a request. I spotted your ephemera organiser in the previous video and I would love to know how to make one myself. Happy 2024 🎉❤❤ hugs Gina
Youre video was really good. I used to have the happiness and excitement about God and learning , but have lost it and dont know how to get it back. Love you Ronda
Hugs.i have a cropadial with the green handle and I have the same issue with the back. It's not smooth and is sharp. I will try your suggestion of using a less heavy hand. I tend to squeeze the stuffin out of it. I also have the long reach one and we are still trying to find out who's the boss and it is one up on me. Merry Christmas and glad you made it out of hobby lobby alive.
Yes it's true we shouldn't live in our sadness, but it's also true that it's okay to have a day or so when we visit that place. I think it's natural that we do that. I lost my husband 12 years ago, our kids live away from home and aren't here. Now there's loneliness and sadness but only a day or two here and there. I think we're doing good if most of our days are spent in our positive experiences and connections. Love you.
Oh could you share maker or link of paper punch ? I love my punches and never seen that brand before . I love it ! Equal to Martha Stuart deep edge punch !!
Hi Ronda, It’s funny that you had a video up the night I was revisiting the journal I bought from you. I love my little journal. My question is do you sell journals that aren’t decorated? I have been trying to find a blank journal on Etsy but haven’t come across the right one yet. I would like to try my hand at a journal that isn’t full of digitals and an eclectic mix of pages. Is it something that you would consider? If not, it’s okay, it was just worth a shot. I’m trying to get out of my journal slump. ❤
Ah, dearest Ronda, I know how you feel, and what you mean. In my case, it is parents I don’t have contact with, and that is my and my husbands decision. In our case, it was a case of s….. abuse of myself and siblings, and finding as an adult that female parent knew about it all along and kept the secrets too. It all blew up when their grandchildren (my kids) came forward. We all have a different story to tell, or not, and I refuse to let it hurt me any more, but it is hard. As I’ve said before, in the last 12 yrs, I’ve also had three sibs die from cancer, so all I have left of my birth family is my youngest sister and she is busy with her family and work. I only see her once a yr or sometimes two. Chin up lovely. Like me, we have the best husbands in the world, good friends, and family members that love us dearly. We also have our faith. 🥰😘
When I was a little girl we didn’t have much money and would honestly say we were poor however my mum would make (junk journals) with us even though we didn’t know them as such. We would collect any pictures we liked or pictures from food packaging. We had flowers and leaves in there and we would write letters to Father Christmas and keep them in our books.

Hi Ronda, It’s funny that you had a video up the night I was revisiting the journal I bought from you. I love my little journal. My question is do you sell journals that aren’t decorated? I have been trying to find a blank journal on Etsy but haven’t come across the right one yet. I would like to try my hand at a journal that isn’t full of digitals and an eclectic mix of pages. Is it something that you would consider? If not, it’s okay, it was just worth a shot. I’m trying to get out of my journal slump. ❤
Yes I would consider it...message through my Etsy Shop and we can chat about it...hugs! 🤗

Ah, dearest Ronda, I know how you feel, and what you mean. In my case, it is parents I don’t have contact with, and that is my and my husbands decision. In our case, it was a case of s….. abuse of myself and siblings, and finding as an adult that female parent knew about it all along and kept the secrets too. It all blew up when their grandchildren (my kids) came forward.
We all have a different story to tell, or not, and I refuse to let it hurt me any more, but it is hard. As I’ve said before, in the last 12 yrs, I’ve also had three sibs die from cancer, so all I have left of my birth family is my youngest sister and she is busy with her family and work. I only see her once a yr or sometimes two.
