hi there welcome to my channel here you will find a community of crafters and anyone who likes to save money. hauls, DIY's, crafts planning and more. hope you enjoy and i look forward to making new friends and hope you can join our tiny family
I’m sure they have, as with almost all crafting and journaling ideas someone somewhere has probably already done it. I mention her because she’s the first person I saw doing it so I gave her credit. 😊❤
I love roses. Very pretty images, I’m sure you’ll make wonderful journals with them. I would sit under there, spiders don’t bother me outside. Inside the house they do bother me, I always get rid of them when I see them in the house.
Hi Esther 🙂💚♥️ All your little touches here and there in your journals never go unnoticed. I live it and I know your swap partner will, too! I love the topper closure. Ivy ever made on for my journals before, but I know I'll make these for some of my next journals. 🤗🌼💜
What a lovely journal! The cloth napkin you used as a page is just a creative & wonderful idea!! The Christmas theme mason jars are the bees knees, oh my, wish I could get my hands on some of those beauties. I believe the receiver will really enjoy your journal & be happy your their partner, your work is beautiful!! Thank you for sharing your creation & a few great tips as well. God bless you & yours!!
Awe thank you so much, I do love how it turned it. If you email me your address I can send you a few of the mason jars. I really like it so I’m thinking partner will too. Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting ❤❤
I love it! I’m in the same swap 🤗 I love everything about your journal. The journal I’m working on for the swap cakes out way to alligator mouth and I’m debating on what to take off because I’m not sure if whoever gets it would like it since it’s so chunky 🤷🏻♀️
TFS your beautiful creation! I love seeing your flip throughs of your journals they are so lovely. I think it's smart that you leave the extra room in your spine for growth, but I'm a chunky scrapbooker in that all my pages are at least 1/2 inch thick, lol. I should start making my own journals instead of buying them, I would have more room. Or maybe cut back on the thickness, but you know, once the creativity starts flowing there's no stopping it! Take care & God bless!
Fun "visit" with you, Esther! ☺️🌼🌷 I haven't been to Arizona for a long time, but my two oldest sons lived there for a time and they said you could literally feel that dry heat sucking the moisture from your skin when you stepped outside in the hot weather. We went through the Mohave desert and I think we were in Arizona, but it may have been the California part, but I remember we stopped the car at a little roadside rest and made sandwiches, but before we could even take the first bite, the bread had the texture of toast! I'm glad you had such a blessed time there with all the sisters and even met a RU-vid friend! Hugs! 💜🌼💜🌼💜🌼😊
Hi Esther 😊🌼💜 I love tri-folds and they can be tiny or big, depending on what they're for. My favorite of the three swaps is the garden one you made for Toni. That little girl with the cow is so adorable. You did a wonderful job on all three, though! Thank you so much for sharing! 😊🌷🦋
Such a sweet little book journal, Esther. A lot of journaling and photo room. I haven't seen the Gorjuss Girls on RU-vid in a while. Very cute! I love my GG dies and stamps. The little vintage bees are adorable and the entire journal and all the extras are wonderful! I'm thinking Richard Scarry's books are pronounced the way you've been pronouncing it. In Britain, Finland and other places I've heard, almost everyone pronounces it "Scare-ee". 😁😁😁💗💗💗
@@LDFine hi Linda, that’s interesting so I guess I’ll just keep saying scary 😂I love adding those pictures because they’re silly cute. These journals make me so happy, they’re cheery and bright. Thanks for stopping by 💜💜
@@estherluka I'm going to keep on saying Scary, too! Why change after about 45 years, right? 😁 Keep on making your delightful journals. I hope the Heidi one has a new home by now. 🎶🌷🦋💜🤗
Esther, you chose a really nice balance of images. The ladies are lovely. 🌼🙂 I don't even like being in lakes and rivers if I can't see what's under the water let alone the dark ocean. I'll admire from the beach or water's edge. I was feeling a little down this afternoon and saw your video, clicked on it and heard your familiar sweet voice and truly, my mood changed right away to happy. 😊🌷💜 Stamping images this afternoon. Hugs! 🤗🌼💜🌼💜✨💐
Awe kinda you’re so sweet, I’m glad your mood changed. I sing you lives close so we could have craft date s😂😂. Yes I’m really scared of not seeing the bottom. I like feeling grounded, not just floating😂. Glad I’m not the only one. ❤❤thanks for watching
Oh! Crafting days together would be awesome! I know it's really hot there in the summer, but I tend to be cold and prefer to keep my HVAC at 78°F year round so hotter weather I love if the humidity is low. 🌞 😎 😁💜🌼💜🌼💜
Love the paper Choices you selected. Also so funny how some people are cat people and some totally aren’t. I love everything cat. 🤗 are you a dog person? Love the red riding hood photo for the cover. This is the perfect project, my friend! Thanks for the shout out as well ❤❤
Hi sierra. Yes I LOVE dogs they’re so cute, except tiny dogs I don’t like those 😂 they’re too much like cats 🤣🤣. Thanks so much I love how it turned out as well. 💜💜
What a treasure you found! Wow! I was extra curious the card that was "A Valentine for my Teacher". Does it say who it's from inside? Could she have added it years later as a teacher or maybe her mom was a teacher and let her have the card? Hmmm 🤔 The sweet little children on the front of the scrap book, by artist Betsey Clark are different than the Precious Moments children. A man actually was the artist of Precious Moments. The art of both is wonderfully endearing. Could you read the date on that postcard that said "Post Card" in big letters on the front of it? Thank you for sharing, Esther! 🤗💜🌼
Awwww especially love the blue birds of happiness … I try to put at least one in every journal I make, kind of wishing whoever ends up with the journal a little happiness as they go about journaling their story.
I have seen your birdies in some of your journals when you make them. That’s so sweet. I use to LOVE owls and I’d do that too to all my journals. Then I got over them so I stopped 😂😂. Thanks for stopping by Coy. ❤❤
Awwww....🥰💜🌼 Esther, it's always my pleasure to share with you, my sweet friend. 🤗💐 I'm so happy you love all the bits and pieces for journaling or whatever you wish to create. 🤗✨ Hugs! 🌷🌷🌷
Thank you so much Linda, you’re just the sweetest. I hope to one day get the privilege of meeting you in person. Can’t wait to use the cat stuff 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Such a fun video! 😊🌟 Your creativity is inspiring. Keep making amazing stuff! 💕👏 ☁️✨ I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos, will come back to support you! 🥰
Right? I loved it since genesis brought it home from the store. I’ve been saving it and finally found a layout I wanted to use it in. Thanks for watching Linda ❤❤❤
Love this journal with me, Esther, especially the kewpie mayonnaise bag. I’ve never heard of kewpie mayonnaise, but now I want to search for it just to find one of those little bags. I’m going to post a photo of the eclectic cottage café group to show you why. Hope to see more journaling with me post from you so much fun to watch.
Yessss it’s so cute and since I cut it I get 2 pockets. It’s an Asian mayonnaise you’ll find it in Asian stores. It tastes good too, so it’s double win. Thanks so much Coy for stopping by. ❤❤❤
Hi Esther … nice share. Leah is always so inspiring when it comes to actual journaling in our journals, combining the planner aspect works perfectly. I remember doing that years ago with Suzie Blu in our art journals. Happy June Planning and Journaling my friend, looks like you’ll have a fun place to do it.
Hi Coy thanks for stopping, yes she’s super inspiring. This is new tome and I was fascinated by the idea. So far I’m LOVING it and it lets me be creative or not while still getting my stuff done.❤❤❤
Thank you Linda; I love the HP ring bound system and don’t really sit and plan that much anymore, and I just stare Ted studying for my federal investment license so now I’ll have even less time. This system will give me enough to get my crafty out and still plan ❤❤❤
Hi Linda, yes they turned out so super duper cute!!! I love them so I had to keep one 😂😂 I’m a horrible sales woman😂😂 but a happy one and that’s what matters. Big hugs
@@estherluka oh no....😒😟 I wonder if I can put a trace on it. I'm trying to remember the envelope. I think I have a picture of what I mailed it in. Sigh....
