- Hello, my crafty friend, and thanks so much for tuning in. Over the last couple of years, the beautiful and talented Cat Stone, (whom we affectionately refer to as "Catt-jan," a term of endearment from her beloved Persia,) has absolutely spoiled me with prints and originals of her fantasy art, and more craft supplies than I'll ever be able to use in this lifetime. Her generosity and creativity is an endless well of inspiration to me, and I'm finally returning her kindness with a little surprise happy mail gift. She told me that the cover of the elephant journal I made for May, (my other crafty bestie, who sends me the most opulent journals she makes in Saudi Arabia,) was her favourite... and good! Because I had already started making one very similar for her! I know Cat likes to actually document her life in her junk journals, turning them into precious heirlooms for her granddaughter, so I made sure not to over-decorate this one, leaving her plenty of space to write, collage, draw, paint and actually fill up in her own marvellously artistic way. Catti-jan, I hope this package brought you some joy and inspiration! Thank you for being you.
My journals and some fun digital kits I've created are available in my Etsy shop! www.artofgemsst...
Thank-You for showing each gem and explaining the significance .💗💗💗
You’re welcome! I just love crystals and gems. 😊
Hi Sarah! What a beautiful and thoughtful gift, you are such a good friend. I love the little poem book and the brooch and your covers are always so great. Happy weekend! 🥰💙💙
Thanks so much, Rox! ❤ Happy weekend to you, too. 🥳✨💕
What a beautiful gift!! ❤
🥰❤️
what a beautiful journal, the cool cover with the extra book holding the adoreable suprisebook … and so thoughtfully put together knowing every detail Cat would love - recognizing and considering all she has fancy for, for me this is the really gift!

Thank you so much, Angelika!!! 😊❤ and thanks for the Etsy reviews!!!!! That always helps my shop so much in the Etsy algorithm.
The Goblin Market book is so beautiful. Another gorgeous journal, Sarah. Thank you, as always, for sharing.
Thanks, Pat! It was a little bit hard to part with that Goblin Market book 😅 but I just knew Cat would love it. 🥰
I think the language is Welsh. Gorgeous journal.❤
It absolutely is!!! Thank you. And I can't believe I had a mind melt moment as I came to that page, because I had found those Welsh books in such a synchronistic way: my boyfriend and I were on a little road trip, listening to a radio show called The Blue Bus. As we entered the small town of Fort Macleod, one of my all time favourite songs came on - Rhiannon, by Fleetwood Mac. My guy surprised me by pulling in to park in front of the antique shop, and inside, we found a stack of these vintage Welsh books. Why it's so significant to me is that Stevie Nicks has said that Rhiannon is about a Welsh witch! (Some journal pieces are just meant to be.)
Super sweet and thoughtful gift you made for Catstone, full of magic and wonders. You are such a generous and lovely person, so grateful that I to got to know you. Take care, happy crafting 🧚🏻♂️🌸😘
Thank you so much! 😊 🩷✨
I love the wrapping paper with the chrysanthemums
The colors are perfect.
Me, too! There was only a mini piece in the pack of vintage wrapping papers. It came from a thrift shop in Pincher Creek - my favourite thrift shop. I put some in your book, and set the other piece in the bag of stuff I have for my next personal journal. 😊
You make the most beautiful journals ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much! 🥰 I just love making them. ❤❤❤

This is the most scrumptious journal! I LOVE the Goblin Market!
This is wonderful to hold in the hand. And yes I use it with my most careful handwriting . Thank-You Sarah-Jan! You really “get me”.☺️☺️☺️The beautiful bracelets that you included with this gift are so lovely . I wear your jewelry every time I leave the house. I receive so many compliments on her jewelry.
I watched The Little Mermaid last night. It is a beautiful movie by Disney.
I have been making Mermaids out of rescued dolls ..11 inch dolls.
I plan to have a give-away soon. I will talk to you about that via DM.🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
I’m so glad you love it!!! 🥰 It’s so easy for us to “get” each other, because we’re drawn to such similar things. The Little Mermaid came out when I was in grade 1, and I think that movie sparked my lifelong love of mermaids and the sea. 🌊 I noticed all the rescued dolls on your Instagram- it will be exciting to see the magic you make with them! And how sweet that you’re planning a giveaway! I’m thinking of doing one on Valentine’s Day.
