Friends are treasures we find during our lives. Real friends live in your heart in a special place forever. You are truly lucky to have found each other. ❤
I can see there is a lot of work in this journal, trying to connect it to your friend and the theme and it's sooooo very special. What a treasure the book is and what a treasure you are Kathleen 🍎💚
Thank you, Kathleen. Congratulations on gathering so many wonderful pieces that are appropriate to the theme! That’s an extraordinary effort! 🥰 Your friend will be absolutely thrilled with your creative journal! I’m sure she won’t be able to stop from admiring it and be ever so grateful for you and your skills! Love and big hugs! 😀💞
@@kerynokeeffe9133 My pleasure Keryn - thank you for watching. Your support is so meaningful to me. It took me forever, haha. She had to be very patient, but it got done before her party, thank goodness. Your apple trees should be blossoming soon - maybe already! we are definitely going into autumn here.
Kathleen, what a lovely personal journal you've made for your friend. I'm sure she is thrilled with your efforts. I love the vintage ephemera you included as well as those wonderful Carl Larsson paintings. Thanks for sharing the journal with us. It was a treat to see it. ETA: Oh, oh, I forgot to mention how special the apple leaf printing throughout the book is.
I love your journals they always look like a real published book. There so neat and organized. I use some of your ideas in my journals I make. Thank you for sharing this beautiful journal she's a lucky lady.
Beautiful, as always. Thanks for sharing, Kathleen! There are always a lot of new ideas to take from your journals and I have sooo much learned from your videos, they are a great inspiration! I especially like the flip-pocket, never seen before😊
Once again, a beautiful and creative journal! I snapped a number of screenshots of your ideas that I want to remember. I especially liked your peekaboo pockets attached to the flap of an envelope.
How nice! Full of personal touches for her and beautiful artwork from you. It has an uplifting feel to it. I like the large apple peek-a-boo pocket near the back and that little cluster on the envelope inside the front cover. Well, I like a whole lot more that that but you don't want me to write pages of comments.
Kathleen, I am certain your friend will love her journal filled with so many personal and thoughtful touches. You, my dear, have now sent me down he Carl Larsson rabbit hole. I may have purchased a book of his works. I guess now I have to visit Sweden 😊
What a cool book. A beautiful gift for your friend. You have put so much heart into this masterpiece. I’m trying to make a junk journal too. I love your idea of leaf prints. I might also add some apple prints like the kind we all probably did in grade school. I bet she will treasure this.Thanks for sharing . ❤️😊
@@h.nicolejorgensen2077 I’m so glad you think this is cool - thank you Nicole! I hope you are enjoying your project - it’s such a great process. Thanks for coming by today!
As always, your work is exquisite. My dad was from Michigan, and he loved apples. I used to make an apple cake for his birthday every year- so this journal really touched me. I may use some of your ideas and make one of my own! ❤️
@@Jeannes1234 Thank you very much Jeanne! I’m actually ahead of you on the closure. I have an old video that goes through it step by step. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/uDmxt8AJOHM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=iNXn8NbV-ebrX1AP I hope it helps! Thanks for reaching out.
Hi, Lovely! You are the very best! Everyone else pales in your midst. Could you please tell me where you source your vintage ephemera from? If it's a secret I perfectly understand. I found most vintage ephemera are only available to those living in the United States. Your friend is so accomplished. On other matters, I have completed the journal I was working on, but not done the video of it yet. May be in a week I will do it. I have also started on another smaller one 😊. Lots of love - Sharmini
@@sharminikamalikajayawarden7541 Aw thanks so much Sharmini! You are so sweet! I usually buy ephemera from the thrift stores and antique stores, but it’s very hit and miss. When I first started collecting, it really seemed like there was so little to choose from - I remember that frustration. I also buy from sellers on Etsy, but yes, they do prefer to send to the US and that must be doubly frustrating. I also now try to go to estate sales - people who have died and their children are selling the stuff off. Most people who attend are not interested in paper stuff. I also try to go to the source and ask my friends who are cleaning out their closets and drawers or cleaning out the house of their parents. I find that when I let many people know what I do and what kinds of papers that I would like, they are often willing to help me find old papers. I now have a little army of friends looking out for me, haha. Congrats on finishing your project and starting another!! WELL DONE!
You’re most welcome. Thank you 🙏 😊 so much for the information shared. Now I have an idea of how I should proceed with collecting vintage papers. You have given me a thorough rundown 🙏 💗. Haha nice to have an army of friends supporting you 😊. Thanks very much for your good wishes for me 💖. All the best.
Friends are treasures we find during our lives. Real friends live in your heart in a special place forever. You are truly lucky to have found each other. ❤
Yes, for sure!
I just love how you use relatively simple techniques throughout your books to make them so beautiful and unique 😊
Thank you so much Paige! Glad you like them! Thanks for watching.
I can see there is a lot of work in this journal, trying to connect it to your friend and the theme and it's sooooo very special. What a treasure the book is and what a treasure you are Kathleen 🍎💚
Thank you so much Gemma! It was a labor of love.
She must be a very special friend to have you put the time and love into it for her. You are both blessed to have each other. She will be delighted.
She truly is Susan - thank you so much!
