    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!!

    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.❤

    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! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

    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 ❤❤❤

    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 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✝️🙂💜.

    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

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.

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.

    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.

    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. 🥰😘
