👗👗Of course they are 👗👗I'd get even snarkier if I could, but it's a family show 😂 I so appreciate all you support and as always, thanks for being here for me, gf. Happy New Year. xo
Loved the flip through. I remembered watching you designing some of the collages. I love collage, it frees up the creativity in us all. I'm from the UK, and it's nice to see other ideas from elsewhere. Keep crafting, and thank you for sharing love Chris
Thank you so much, Chris. I'm so happy you enjoyed this flip through. 2025 is going to be really fun with new projects and some different creativity. Thanks again for sitting with me, leaving a comment to say hello, and letting me know you have enjoyed my work. Have a wonderful New Years and I'll see you again soon. xo
Hi barbie, I have really enjoyed your crossword series, and would love to join in. Each collage has made me smile, and they never fail to amaze me how you pick your papers and images to use, I have learnt so much from watching you my friend! And your fashion ladies are amazing, I would love to rummage through them. ❤
Carol, you comment is so sweet. I can't believe it when you say you've learned so much from me 😂 girl, I feel the same way ...... you teach me every time I sit down with you at your table. I'm so happy you have enjoyed these collages, they sure are fun and I do hope you can join in on the fun. Hugs and love. xo ❤️
Thanks, Amy. There were a few I didn't remember either, so no worries and let's not talk about age! I'm looking forward to starting that new book in '25 ....... I hope you are as well. xo 🥳
Merry Christmas, Barbie! Thank you for doing this flip-through. I smiled all the what through. It was like a trip down memory lane. I was with you for most of these pages. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family. I can't wait to hear how you daughter-in-law loved her journal you made for her. I'm looking forward to a fun new year of collage art with you. Hugs!! xoxo ❣
Thanks so much, Lisa. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Mine was very nice with the family. I'm happy you enjoy traveling the same way I do, taking a left down memory lane. it's my favorite way to craft. Mara loved her journal and I'd love to make another one, at least a winter journal. 2025 is going to be filled with fun projects and I have everything all lined up. I can't wait for more chats and to see you at my table. Hugs and have a great New Years Eve and Day. xo 🥳❤️🎉
Hi, Barbie! Loved revisiting your crossword puzzle collages with you! They are all so well done and with a variety of subjects, too. Hope your Christmas was everything you hoped it would be. Looking forward to 2025 and lots of fun creations from you. xoxo
Thanks for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed my creation and all of the pages from 2024! 🎉🥳Christmas was lovely, Joy but as usual, I'm glad it's over and looking forward to kicking back, making video's and enjoying some quite time. Hugs xo
Hi Barbie, love seeing this flip through. It was a nice reminder of a lot of cute ideas. I sure look forward to next years creations. Hugs my friend and Happy new year 🥂🎉🎊🎆
I'm so glad you enjoyed the flip-through of my book, I can't wait to start the next one! ❤️ You have a wonderful, New Years Eve and day ........ 2025 is going to be so much fun, as long as we can all stay upright and healthy. 😂🥳
I'm glad you enjoyed the flip through. I hope you and yours have a wonderful New Year as well! 🥳❤️🎉I'm hoping to do a couple more video's if I can squeeze them in .... but for now ..... I'll see you next year!
Great flip thru Barbie! I think my favorite page is “it’s a mod mod world” I love Joeys images. Looking forward to the new year of crossword collages ❤
Thanks, girlfriend! That is a pretty page using Joey's digitals ....... I need to do more fun projects with them. It takes me to a happy place for sure, and you as well. Have a great New Years! Doing it family style? ........ or just you and hubs? xo ❤️
@ partial family just my daughter, her husband and the savages because they live the closest and they don’t drink. My boys are on their own ! They probably won’t stay past 9:00 anyway which is fine with me ….can’t remember the last time I saw midnight on new years. 😂 but happy new years to you and yours ❤️
@itearpaper Quiet time for us too. I can never make it to midnight 😩 last night I did though.... Mike and I started watching a roast hosted by Don Rickles for Dean Martin at 10:30 🤣🤣 my face hurt after 2 hours of laughter. Omgosh, girl .... the jokes, bashing, and humor was hysterical....past comedians were just that .... true comedians ♥️ those were the best times !!
It has been a lot of fun watching you make these this past year. I think I'll just go random-go with the flow. I don't know if you will be doing any more videos before the new year, so I'll just say it now. Have a fabulous Happy New Year. 🎉 God bless
I hope you have a fantastic New Year, too! ✨️❄️✨️ Thank you for all your support this past year and I am looking forward to 2025 at my craft table with you. I'm hoping to get a couple more video's for you before Jan 1 but I'll have to see how things go, girlfriend ....... but if I don't, I'll send the same greetings to you as well. Happy New Year and God Bless! 🎉🥳🙏
I'm so happy you were able to watch the flip thru, gf. TFW and I wish you a wonderful 2025. I have to believe it's going to be a wonderful year for all of us. Hugs and blessings. xo
The completed crossword collage journal looks fantastic and the pattey gals give it a unity,have loved seeing you create this journal and its pages.(Matt) Hope the next installment of this collage journal idea is just as exciting to watch as well
Thank you, Matt. I'm sure 2025 will be just as fun and I'm looking forward to chatting it up with you. These are fun collages, everyone seems to enjoy them quite a bit so I'll be continuing them in '25. Have a fantastic weekend!
Happy New Year, my friend. I absolutely LOVE this book! So fun to see all of the beautiful pages you made. So happy you will be continuing this sei=ries into the new year. How did your DIL like her Christmas journal? TYFS Cindy
Thanks, girlfriend for all your love and support this past year. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you and how I love our little chats. Mara loved her Christmas journal. She was so surprised. She knew I was making one for her but had no idea the inside digitals and such. Have a great 2025. I remember the beginning of 2024 like it was yesterday. Laying in bed, foot up, miserable and then my package came in, from you, containing my new glue! You are just the best, gf. Hugs ❤️😉❤️
Well what a joyous way to start my Sunday Morning, your video is filled with wondrous memories for me and every one of your pages is truly delightful. I absolutely love listening to your stories, they are very close to my own heart. I remember dressing up to go out, especially to Church, and we always wore a pinny/apron over our dresses to keep them clean before we went. I don't think I ever saw my Grandma and Mother without one, cos they wore them each day. And to this day I always put on lipstick and a pair of earrings wherever I go, although I don't do this in the house lol. I still carry a spare pare of earrings in the car just in case I forget to put some in (what am I like). The blue stamps also made me remember the 50/60 when we used to collect what we called Green Shield Stamps, it was like gold dust when you actually managed to fill a book, as in those days times were hard and you could buy something which wasn't a necessity. Oh happy days. I've been meaning to ask you what glue do you use in those little bottles, I'm ordering some shortly cos I only use UHU stick glue when I collage. I've decided on my theme for collage this year, I've ordered Daphne's Diary as I think it will be more suitable than the glossy magazines I usually buy for my art (Vogue and Homes & Garden). Still keep trying to find those pattern girls but having no luck as yet. As usual I've rabbited far too long. Hope you and hubby have had a fabulous time with your family over the holidays, sending much love and blessings for the New Year. Take care xx
@elizabethnaisbitt1795 Elizabeth, you can never chat too long, I love to hear your stories 🤗💞 I love the idea of keeping an extra pair of earring in the car (or even my purse) b/c some days I feel completely naked without them when I forget to put them in. We also had a green stamp (S&H Green Stamps) my mom would bring home from the grocers..........I loved putting them in those books. I was quite little, around 4 years old. She'd set up a wet sponge in a dish and let me dab the stamps on it and place them in the squares. I still have some of those books and cherish them. I got a good spanking one day from her ........ it was winter, and I was playing outside. I took it upon myself to go to the neighbors (across a field to see my moms friend Ruthie) b/c I knew she had stamps. When my mother saw me, she yelled for me to NOT go over there........but did I listen , no 😱 she came and swooped me up, carried me home and then proceeded to pull down my snowpants, put me over her knee and spank me. I NEVER did that again ........ and I don't think she ever spanked me after that either. Good old, fashion parenting 💞✨️💞 Have a wonderful New Years Eve and day, my friend. I am so blessed to have you as a subbie and be able to share with you, and you with me. xo ✨️✨️✨️
Good evening, what an absolute delight to find your channel. Recommend by youtube. Even though it was my first time here, i found it so enjoyable. Where do you get your prompts or do you think them up yourself? It looks like so much fun. I've never seen anything like it. I don't craft any more. Stage 4 cancer leaves me weak. Can't wait to watch 2024 and your new ones. 😊
Phyllis ...... welcome and I am so glad you found me, because in doing so, I also found you! xo 😉 There are no prompts, I create these collages based on the time of year of how I am feeling. I call these 'free range' collages ...... no boundaries, no rules, pure enjoyment only. Most of them are drawn on my childhood memories. I am so happy you stopped by and I hope we can chat more. I'd love to add you to my prayer list and will do so if it's okay with you. xo 🙏🌷🙏
I loved seeing this flip through.The collages are awesome and remind me of growing up in the fifties and sixties when all of the ladies in my family dresses like your gals.I can hardly wait to see what you do in 2025.Happy New Year 🎉
I'm so glad you enjoyed the flip-through of my crossword puzzle journal and that it brought back some happy memories for you. 🎉 I agree about the dress code from the 50's and 60's. I have lovely photos of my mom, aunts and their friends dressed like these ladies .... and they dressed like that every day! 2025 should be loads of fun and I'm excited to craft with you. Have a wonderful New Year!
Barbie I love this book. Patterns girls are wonderful and brought back some great memories. This is a treasure for sure and will be even more meaning full as you fill it with additional memories. TFS Happy New Year!
Very, very inspirational Barbie! Thank you for sharing! Will try my level best to use my old cloth making pattern pictures in this manner. You are a true artist in your own right. A blessed and creative 2025!❤
Thank you very much. I'm glad I could be inspirational and encouraging. Enjoy your crafting, and I'm so happy you could sit with me at my craft table. xo
I'm really happy to hear that, Donna! Thanks for sitting at my craft table with me and it's nice to hear from another who enjoys these collages. Have a great New Years Eve and day! See you soon with so many fun projects to share. ❤
New subbie here. I thoroughly enjoyed your video, hearing all the stories and the love you have for your mom. I am going to love watching your 2025 journal and I hope to make one also. tfs
Thank you very much! I am so happy to have you here with me and the rest of the gang. I so appreciate your kind comment and do hope you are able to join in on some fun, crossword puzzle collaging. Have a wonderful New Years Eve and Day. 🥳🎉
Hello, April ... 🎀 You can find vintage patterns in thrift shops. Some gals sell them on Instagram. I've had mine for many, many years so I'm a bit out of touch as to who sells them now. Etsy has many but they are way overpriced. I paid between $3 and $6 for different ones. The older they are, the more expensive they become. You can also go on ebay and shop 'Sewing Pattern Counter Catalog' which holds hundreds of girls. Do not pay over $50 for a book. There is one now for $50 from McCalls 1960 ... you just have to poke around. If a book is damaged, offer a lower price, many times a seller will take it. Good luck and let me know how you make out.
🎄🎅🎄TFS🎄🎅🎄 the snarky ones are my fav
