Dear Sara-Lee. I love it and I bought it straight away. Thank you very much for this great journal. It will find a nice home in Germany. Kind regards, Sarah
You make the most beautiful journals that I’ve ever seen and we all obviously love these flip through videos. So many wonderful ideas to make without the fake stamps and ephemera that one can buy. Thank you so much. BTW, it must have been a windy evening; I had headphones on and took them off because I could hear rattling and whistling of the wind! I thought it was at my place for a minute, lol. Gotta love rugged New Zealand - I’m an Aussie! Cheers 😀🇳🇿
HI carolyn, thank you so much 🥰It was blowing a gale when I filmed it! I was worried about that but I thought I'd got away with it, dam sash windows gave it away haha. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment 🩷
Hello Sara-Lee, this journal is really stunning!! I love it very much. Such beautiful colours, textures, laces... And I love the authentic papers and photos. About the bookmark at 22'13": it's Dutch and so am I 😊. It is made by Nelly ten Have in her calligraphy workshop and sent as a Christmas greeting. On the printed side it says the prayer "Our Father", probably well known and handwritten it says a poem or verse about baby Jesus: "Your light penetrates all the world's wounds, O Child, Thou Lord of all that is, See how gladly my eyes burn. Thy light is my salvation." I hope this helps you. Greetings from the Netherlands ❤
Sara Lee, what a gorgeous journal!!! The colors and all the goodies you have inside are so beautiful. The layers on each page are a really smart idea too. I just found you, and now I will go to binge watch your channel. 🌹
My my, how glorious this journal is. Just stunning. The workmanship and creativity are truly beautiful. Do you assemble your pages and sew the signatures first and then decorate? Or decorate pages first before sewing in the signatures. Would love to see your process from start to finish. I'm enjoying your channel very much.
Hi Cindy 😄👋thank you so much for joining me on my journey! I assemble the pages first and decorate, sewing signatures in last. I usually make 5 heavily embellished pages first and then the rest more simple. Seems like I have organisation but I think if you watched me I'm more like a squirell lol I start things, put them to one side, finish something else, go back to the first thing etc, I'm not sure my process would help anyone 🤣
Oh my gosh Sarah......I went hunting in the attic and found a happeny (not sure if i have spelt that right )....Half Penny. but i can't part with it. May have to make journal for my grand Children ,Thank you for the inspiration. Just love this journal When I opened my eyes this morning I said out loud to myself "something amazing will happen to me today" And your tutorial popped up. I feel that's pretty amazing
If I had have gone hunting through my attic, I would hold onto the coin too! 🤣Fortunately, I managed to purchase quite a few out of circulation NZ coins for this purpose, to add a little piece on NZ to my journals 💛😊 what a geat idea to make a journal for the grandies. Thank you so much for your beautiful comment and support 🌼
Definitely another real beauty Sara! You have a real talent. Always enjoy watching your videos. And yes I can get new ideas but mostly just relaxing from a day's work and enjoying your video. Always TFS. Hugs...Linda
Hello from the UK I’m new to your channel and so happy I found you , I really enjoy the flip throughs you have such good ideas , will you be making more tutorials I would love to watch them , thank you for sharing and inspiring ❤
Thank you so much! ❤️ tutorials are hard for me to do due to the way I create and my art studio being on my bed watching TV lol but I will endeavor to organise myself and create some more 🥰
Hi Sara, this journal is beautiful, exactly my cup of tea🤩. Can you please tell how you dyed the laces and paper for the wonderful burgundy? I once used red wine but I‘d rather use it for its original purpose . Greetings from Germany Martina
Aw thank you 🥰 I mix my own colours using pēbēo colored brilliant watercolour. They are not wash permanent, but if anyone were to wash one of my journals I'd be a little surprised 🥰 the colour inks I used to mix that tone was burgundy and brown ink
Thank you Sara, this is is good idea. I use watercolor to dye the silk I sometimes use for the ruffles but I didn’t think of using it for paper. Take care Martina
Aw thank you 🥰 I mix my own colours using pēbēo colored brilliant watercolour. They are not wash permanent, but if anyone were to wash one of my journals I'd be more than a little surprised 🥰 the colour inks I used to mix that tone was burgundy and brown ink
Awesome as always. A question if you would be so kind - Do you put any starch on your doilies? Would love it if you could show us how to distress the poscard towards the back.
Hi 😊❤️ thank you. No starch, but the watercolour dye often stiffins them a little. I will check which postcard you mean, always happy to share a tutorial of how I do things ❤
Hi 😊👋Each journal takes me about 80 -90 hours work. The price I put on them doesn't cover my time, supplies and postage. Postage Internationally costs about $100 Nzd. I price them so that I can buy more supplies to keep doing what I love, covers the pain of letting my babies go, and maybe a coffee or two 😉🥰
20.26 in this video you talk about the paper and you did an envelope can you head me to a website on how to do this. I didnt know how to even spell the word. Thank you
Omg out of the hundreds of videos I’ve watched with flip through yours has got to be The Beautifulest journal I’ve seen.!!!! love the 5 pocket page
Aw thank you so m7ch! Here's the link I think you're after th-cam.com/video/d3iME3Opswo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-WZVvEYPDFLuBkBY
Just found this utube, don't know how I missed it, but this is so beautiful omg, love this amazing journal.
@@debbiebreen6276 aaaw thanks Debbie 🥰🥰🥰
That bookmark was a Dutch prayer card. It has a prayer on it saying how god's light brings persistence, used on Christmas 1961
Aaw thank you, I found it in a book that I bought second-hand 😊
And on the back is the Lord’s Prayer. 😉
Dear Sara-Lee. I love it and I bought it straight away. Thank you very much for this great journal. It will find a nice home in Germany. Kind regards, Sarah
Oh wow Sarah, thank you so much 🥰 This will be my first time posting to Germany! How exciting ❤️

That velvet rose was yummy and so glamorous 🎉 is it a fabric you bought or off of a garment? Beautiful journal ✨️
Isnt it though? 🥰Fabric I bought of fb, marketplace in nz, I have no idea how old it is or when she purchased

This is beautiful!
What did you use to dye the laces and papers?
The color is gorgeous.😊

Hi I was wondering how many hours went into this journel and how do you determine what selling price is?
Hi 😊👋Each journal takes me about 80 -90 hours work. The price I put on them doesn't cover my time, supplies and postage. Postage Internationally costs about $100 Nzd. I price them so that I can buy more supplies to keep doing what I love, covers the pain of letting my babies go, and maybe a coffee or two 😉🥰
Is this still available? And how much? I really love this book!!
Aaw no I'm sorry this one sold and made its way to Germany! Thank you for appreciating my work enough to want to adopt her! 🥰
Do you have a video on how you made the page with all the pockets?
No I don't, but I will add it to my list of tutorials 🥰
Btw what was the video on the paper made with napkins?
I added the link to your other comment, hope you found it 🥰
20.26 in this video you talk about the paper and you did an envelope can you head me to a website on how to do this. I didnt know how to even spell the word. Thank you
