Wow! WOW!! *WOW!!!* These Christmas Journals are Definitely Bring "The Merry" into The Season!!! Blue has always been my favorite color, So I'm *IN-LOVE* With the 1st few with Beautiful Blue Colors with the Blue Santa's Sleigh... As well as the Gorgeous Blue Covers with the Precious TeddyBears!... & Then AGAIN... YOU "Stole My Heart" with Santa's on the Blue Backgrounds!

I honestly don't know How I could possibly pick my all-time Favorite!!! I actually have A LOT of Lace, Ribbon, Sari-Silk Ribbons, Yarn, Butyons, Charms, Beautiful Special Fibers & other Sweet Bits & Bobs that I'd be more than happy to send you if you think you'd be able to use them in Your Fabulous Journals!!! WHERE did you get ALL those STUNNING Colorful Paprtd?!?! I can't even decide which is my Absolute Favorite!!! I was hoping to be able to either create or purchase a Journal for both my Mom & My Daughter for Christmas, but being "A Professional Procrastinator," I never even got started! 😢... BUT... I *WILL* MOST DEFINITELY be making them both sometimes during 2024! I love, Love, LOVE, *LOVE* all the Tiny Details! I tend to write A LOT & I talk EVEN MORE; so I really love all the AMAZING Wruting Space you've left so that we could write & make the Journal even More Special! It's "On My Bucket List" to be able to Treat Myself to at least One of your AMAZING Journals!!! I know you are Extremely Busy, but I'd be HONORED to some day to some type of "Swao" with you!!! I haven't watched TV since 2001!!! (Its a long Story, so LMK if you'd like to hear about it!) ~🙏💙🙏Much Graditude From The Carolinas🙏💙🙏~
I am in awe of your energy! 10 wow- it takes me weeks 1:53 just to do one 😂 due tell your secret would love to see a process video about how to do this because I need to make 6 journals for my siblings and it seems like quite an undertaking
You can do it! I do have several videos in my channel showing my process at different stages but if I did one from start to finish it would be suuuuper long, lol. We also don't want you to feel overwhelmed when creating. It should be a time to destress and create with joy. Start with a couple at a time and increase if you are comfortable doing so. I am a mass maker as much as I don't want to be. My thought process begins with, "well, if I can make one I should just go ahead and make two, and if I can make two, I'll just make four and then four turns to 6 and all of a sudden I'm working on 13'. Thirteen is just in case I decide to keep one for myself, omg, hehehe Tim Holtz always says he has popcorn popping in his head and I can totally relate to that! :) Thank you so much for being here and watching my videos. :)
Lily you are so generous when someone purchases from your shop! Thank you so much for all of the extras....and the journals themselves are so beautiful and so well made! Thank you!! ❤ Happy Holidays to you!!
Hi Nancy, thank you so much! I am truly appreciative of all your support. I'm so glad you enjoy the journals and the extras. I'm so happy to hear this. Happy Holidays! :)
These are amazing!! I love the ornament you’ve added to each of them. You did a wonderful job, whoever gets one of these is going to be so lucky 💖🎀🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻✨✨✨✨✨
You are definitely generous when someone purchases from you with all the extra goodies! I love your journals so much. Unfortunately I saw your video a bit too late and the journal I wanted is already gone but I’m sure there will be a next time. I don’t know how you can manage ti si so many journals at the same time. I’m just finishing up a 3rd one and it took me almost 4 months, lol!!!
I enjoyed browsing through your darling journals. I like the simple idea of folding a square piece of paper as a tuck spot. I think you could also use it as a hidden journal spot if the paper is white or a light color. You are very creative. TFS❤
Loved your video. First time I've watched you. Your journals are wonderful. I'm new at this so I'm going to be watching you more. Have a wonderful day and Happy holidays.
These are beautiful!! I especially love your Christmas and Halloween journals. No one does it better!!! Also, I love that, along with selling, you still share free tutorials with us. Thank you so much! I look forward to your posts!!
Thank you so much Joann! I appreciate your kindness. I try to do as many tutorials as time permits. I appreciate you being here and I shall continue to do more. :)
Hi Lily I have been waiting for your video.........man you are so busy! I have been sick with the Flu/Covid for 10 days and you have uplifted me with your chat. Thanks so MUCH.........I have an Instagram and never use it. I will look you up. I called my friend and said we need to thrift. It has been over 2 months! Merry Christmas and have a Wonderful New Year to you and your family. Hugs Kat
Oh no, sending you well wishes for a super speedy recovery and as soon as you are feeling 100% you and your bestie can go treasure hunting. Thank you so much for watching. Get well soon! :)
Thank you for being here and watching my videos. I do have several videos in my channel showing my process in different stages. I have a video where I share how I make the cover topper from gift boxes and another showing how I turn a cereal box into the journal cover. So much fun to reuse and repurpose household items. Thank you for asking!
Hi Lily! I love the new journals--especially the snowmen! Love all the extras you sent me when I purchased my journal from you. I enjoyed playing and creating with everything. Still working on items for a craft fair and hoping to have time to document my holiday also. Wishing you a blessed and happy holiday! :)
Wow! So beautiful. I love ur style of journal making. I struggle to make my journal covers. When u sew your covers do u sew the whole cover or do u sew just the front n back image and glue it to the front n back?. Thank u for sharing ur craft. I have learned so much and I have committed to really making my own journals in the new year. ❤❤
Thank you so much. For these ten journals I machine stitched through the cover and layers. You'll notice the gold thread on the outside and red on the inside cover. Though, I have in past journals machine stitched on the topper and have glued it down. I love either way. Thank you so much for being here and watching my videos.
It is such a great stamp set. I've and affiliate link if you want more information... It's the Tim Holtz Bottle Brush Stamp Set: a.co/d/6hlH1Bf Thank you for asking. :)
Beautiful! Do you make each individually or do you make them more systematically where you are working on all 10 at once in chunks like covers, tassels, pages, etc.?
I do both but with these ten I began by creating all the covers at once, moved on to the selection of papers for the signatures and so on. The very last thing I do is flip through the journal pages several times and give them a personal touch by adding or changing up the embellishments. Thank you for asking/!
@@Debbiebea56 Hi, thank you so much. These are 2023 creations but I am working on more for the 2024 Holiday season and hoping to have them in my Etsy shop before December. I’ll keep everyone posted with new videos. 🥰
@@Debbiebea56 Thanks for asking. I don't have a price in mind yet but if you are familiar with my Etsy shop (link in the description) you can see how I have priced others. :) TY!

I love finding stationary in thrift stores ! It’s the best place to find recipe cards too
It really is!
10!!! Wow I’m still trying to finish my día de los muertos junk journal 😱
I know, lol. I'm trying not to work in masses but then I just get carried away, lol. :)
I love these, perfect to make with scrap paper that I can't throw out
Yes, they are! :)
You have such great creativity. What wonderful journals full of lots of yummy. Thank you for sharing your artistic techniques
Thank you so much!
Beautiful journals! Thanks for sharing! I'm just like you and have to keep busy, or I will fall asleep, lol
You and me both! 😆😁😊
These are very cute!
Thank you! 😊
I love your use of dies. I noticed them in the Christmas 2022 videos. It adds a touch of intricacy. And love the envelope as a tuck. Very innovative.
Thank you for noticing. I did use more die cuts in the 2022 journals but I will continue to add them in. 😊😁
First time here I love your Christmas junk journals❤️

Thank you so much Margie! This time around was more challenging because of my other duties but I am always up for a challenge, hehe. :)

I like the simple idea of folding a square piece of paper as a tuck spot. I think you could also use it as a hidden journal spot if the paper is white or a light color.
You are very creative. TFS❤
Thank you so much! The reverse side of the square papers I used as tucks are blank on the opposite side and great for journaling spots. Thank you! :)
These are so awesome 👌 ❤
Thank you so much!
These are fabulous!
Thank you so much!
Hiya ❤ You've done it again girl, I'm loving all of these sweet journals ❤
