Hello there! My name is Amy and I’d like to welcome you to the doki doki forest! This is a magical place where you can explore journaling, painting, drawing and all things creative! You just never know what’s going to emerge from the forest next! Feel free to relax, journal along with me, enjoy some peaceful art and hopefully see something you like!
Art can be healing if we let it but sometimes we have to wait 💙 I think the story here is - a tropical island princess has come to visit the wonderful, magical castle of many rooms. She has brought her favorite animal friends and some yummy foods to share🍓🌸🌴
What a treat to find the two of you harvesting away tonight! So great to have you back! As always, it was fun to watch you both. Thank you for the fun!! See you soon!
Amy! Really lovely to see you again. I was wondering if there would be a summer version and here you are! 😊This was fun to watch. And thank you very the very cool printables. I'm looking forward to joining in . Much love my friend 💗🥰🧚♀️🌸🐾🌊
It was great fun to hang out with you too and listen to the chatter and choosing! I think you got the best out of the best from my magazine, and I’m looking forward to seeing everything collaged in your book of seasons!

Hello my dear Sylvia, wonderful to see you! ✨❤🦄🌸 Oh I'm so thrilled you found y our summer gluebook, what great timing! I just had to go and find my Seasons gluebook so I could create the summer pages. I was looking around the forest wondering where the heck I put it for "safe keeping" LOL! Finally there it was, tucked behind some books on a bookshelf. Looks like now we can both get gluing away! SO excited you'll be playing along - can't wait to see what you create! Sending lots of love and hugs to you from me and all the beasties! 🐉🏰🌸🦄💕💗✨🐸🌼🌈

Hello nads, so wonderful to see you! 🌸✨🧚♀️🌈 Oh I'm so happy we were able to craft and create together again. I bet you were up to some amazing stuff!

TY Amy. Quote: "It is the same life, whether we spend it laughing or crying.” Japanese Proverb. I'm glad how you like the quotes I do it to make somebody happy everyday you never know who's down so if you can let them up in any way that makes your own day. I enjoy your videos and plan to watch many more. 🐞🐾🧚

Hey there Ker! 💜🖤💚 Oh my gosh this was so much fun chatting and harvesting images with you! It's wonderful that we have been doing this, because it's really helping me get back on track with creating and posting, which I've missed tremendously. I started gluing some pages today - man we sure gathered a ton of words didn't we??? 🤣 Always a wonderful time with you my sweet friend! Sending lots of love and hugs to you and Bitsy from Sophia and I! 🐶💕💕💕💕
Dear Amy so nice to see you back. You have been in my thoughts here at fairy central. Sometimes life gets in the way of crafting but that the way it has to be. Then it’s hard to get back to crafting. I think we become too overwhelmed and downtime is just a time to stop. Your page was awesome I’m so glad the lady has found a home I hope to see you again soon but never any pressure lots of love and fairy wishes ❤️🧚♀️
oh amy first of all big big hugs xxxx dont ever apologise for putting you and your family first and for practicing self care,you absolutely need to take time when you need it. however WOOHOOOOO im so pleased to see you my friend 💝 i have missed my doki doki fix xx thankyou for coming back and thankyou for being you and well done on taking the first step back,dont forget to take more time again if you need to i'm sure we will all be here for you when you feel ready to open the gates to doki doki forest so we can visit,no pressure my friend, i love seeing you create this page,its so pretty, you take very good care of you and the forest critters,gentle hugs x
Love this page and I love you! The frog is about to set some rules to live by in the forest and the bird isn’t so sure that tiger is going to cooperate! The lady has been watching the forest for years (kind of like a subscriber who hasn’t commented 😀 ❤️) and she’s finally decided to participate. She might end up being the leader they didn’t know they needed! ❤️
Hi Chrissy! ✨❤🦄🌸 Love you TOO my sweet friend!!! Haha - oh my gosh I LOVE your story about the frog setting the rules to live by. Hmmmm I'm not sure I'd trust that tiger either... we will have to check in and see how everything went! LOL - I see you over there watching over the forest, your finger poised as you consider whether or not to comment! 😂🤣😂 I'm just so thrilled that you are here with me! Hope you are having an awesome day and we'll chat soon! Sending lots and lots of love and hugs to you!!! 🥰💕🌈✨🐸
Amy! So very happy to see you here! Missed you and your wonderful fantasy world you bring to us! It’s so comforting to watch you create tonight and hear your sweet voice and know you are well. I’m glad you allowed yourself the time you needed. and if you find you need more, that will be ok too. Hugs sweet Amy! ❤
Hello Patricia and welcome, I'm so glad you're here! 🌸✨🧚♀️🌈 I don't have a video on getting started exactly, but you may enjoy my Colors Glue Book playlist where I just take a composition book and start gluing away in there? It's so fun because all you need are magazine images, a glue stick, scissors and a notebook/journal/composition book. No rules, just gluing and having fun! 🥰 Thank you so much for stopping by today. Wishing you a wonderful day and hope to see you again soon! 🦄🌈💗✨
Howdy and Welcome Back, Dear Amy! So important to take some self-care time... and time to care for family. We missed you and we're delighted that you're back. Love the castle glue book! Each tower is unique and has its own personality. Super fun watching you create... and the stories do come, don't they? HUGs 💜 Blessings & Bubbles🫧🏰
Hi, Amy It's great to have you back. I fully understand your need for a break. I have to be honest though. I found the music somewhat irritating and definitely distracting. I prefer to just listen to your lovely voice. Loved your page. Nancy
Hello Nancy, great to see you again! 🌸✨🧚♀️🌈 Awww, so sorry to hear that you didn't care for the music, thank you so much for letting me know. Always good to get feedback. 😊 Hope you have been enjoying a lovely summer and we'll chat again soon! Sending lots of love and hugs to you! ✨🦄🌈❤✨
Glad you're back and remember it's good to look after yourself with no apology necessary. I love the frog in this picture. For me, it's the frog who has decided to call a meeting of friends and he/she has something important to share. The lady isn't sure, the bird is looking to see if they will be safe on the pillow and the tiger, is being a tiger. Love the page. Take care and see you when you are ready, no rush. 🙃🐸🐛
So good to see you again Amy 🤗 Glad everything is ok and you took time out to care for your family & yourself 💕 We will always be here whenever Doki Doki forest is open for us to enter 💚 Love your castle gluebook 🏰 & the page you did 🐸 so colorful & full of life 💚 Happy crafting & love to all at Doki Doki forest 🌳🧚♀️😘
Awww thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement Kristina, appreciate them and you so much!!! ✨❤🦄🌸 Yes the forest got rather overgrown and the beasties ran wild while I was away lol!!! It feels good to be back again, wandering though the tall tree trunks and finding some new creative growth sprouting! Thank you so much for being here my sweet friend! Sending lots and lots of love and hugs to you and all at The Shack! 🌼🐸🏰✨🌈🐉🦄🌸💕
@@dokidokiforest no it's been hard for.me I broke my foot two weeks ago it's been a hard time for my husband as well he has been taking care of me and our dog I go to Dr on Wednesday to get a regular.cast
Hello dear friend! SO very GLAD to see you back. Totally understand. I can totally relate to what you are saying that you just sit there, waiting for the creativity to happy. So glad you are able to begin to create again. Be well and be good to yourself. Enjoy the rest of your summer. Take your time. Catherine
Hello Catherine, so wonderful to see you! ✨❤🦄🌸 Thank you for your kind and understanding words about waiting for creativity to happen. It's one of those things that you sometimes just have to be patient with. (which isn't always easy! we can become frustrated) Allow some space for creating, but if nothing happens, it's okay, try again another time. Finally I'm feeling like I'm a tree with little green leaves of creativity just beginning to sprout after a few months of Winter. Thank you so much for being here and I hope you are doing well my friend. Sending lots and lots of love and hugs to you! ✨🌈🌞🌼💗🐉
So lovely to have you back Amy 💜 of course we are still here and we are still here because of your wonderful self 💜 sometimes life gets so hectic and for a little while, our creativeness takes a seat but it never leaves 💜 remember to fill that cup up of yours 💜 sending lots of love from across the pond 🤗
Awww thank you so much for your gentle, loving words Jodie Ann, I appreciate them and you so so much. ✨❤🦄🌸 It was weird being disconnected from both creativity and this wonderful community and it's wonderful to be back. Life has unexpected interruptions that bring change and demands that need our attention for awhile. Things may not go back to the way they were, but hopefully we can pull through and rise again like a phoenix. I think I'm still a little bald phoenix that just peeked out of the ashes. (no majestic feathers or dramatic flight sequence for me LOL!) Love you so much my friend, sending lots of hugs and magic across the pond right back atcha! 💕💕💕💕
Beautiful spread Amy Today's Quote: “Where there is kindness there is goodness, and where there is goodness there is magic.” -Disney’s Cinderella. So glad we met at Janet Nash's live.vHuge hugs. Namaste 🐞🐞🐞
Hello Lala, I'm so happy we met at Janet's live as well!!! 🌸✨🧚♀️🌈 (the best place to meet new friends right?) 🥰 Beautiful beautiful quote, and from Cinderella too that's awesome! We can always use more magic in our lives right? Thank you so much for stopping by today. Sending you lots and lots of love and hugs! 🦄✨🏰❤💕💗✨
Yes the best people are in Janet's lives. Quote: "It is the same life, whether we spend it laughing or crying.” Japanese Proverb. Huge hugs. Namaste 🐞🐞🐞
just remember....in order to be good and of use to others, you first need to be good to yourself. These words I know are easier said than done. Take your time Amy. Though you have been away and had changes, , just watching you art in your glue book, it's obvious to see your imagination, , creative ideas, your artistic style remain sharp and continues to encourage and inspire Tweet Tweet Quack Quack from Ice cream unicorn and me
HellooOOooO there Barb'ra and ice cream unicorn, so happy to see you both! ✨❤🦄🌸 Awww you are too sweet my friend, thank you so so much for your ever encouraging and kind words, reminding all of us to be gentle with ourselves. I can't help but wonder what wonderful creative mischief you and ice cream unicorn have been up to whilst I was away? Sending you both lots and lots of love and hugs from me and all the beasties! Tweet tweet and quack quack!!! ✨🦆🏰🐲💕
Hello Susan, wonderful to see you! 🌸✨🧚♀️🌈 Thank you so much for your encouraging words about taking it easy - it can be so hard to allow ourselves that gentle time. It feels good to be getting back to creative time again. Can you believe I had that image of the lady for like 2 decades?!?! What was I waiting for? (this page I guess lol!) 😂 Wishing you a delightful day and hope to see you again soon my friend! 💗✨🦄🌈❤❤
Glad your well, as a family. Care taker remember to take care of your self too! Sometimes when away from creating it can take a little bit to get back to it, just sitting and sorting, touching our craft goodies is an excellent starting point. As for story for page, it reminded me of my fierce teen daughter going get out of my room or my tiger will eat you, thank God I'm done with that stage of her life.
Awww thank you so much for your kind, encouraging words, appreciate them and you so much. 💕💕💕💕 You are so right about care takers needing to remember to also take care of themselves. Funny how we can tend to push ourselves to exhaustion before remembering that right? Great idea about sitting and sorting our craft goodies - that's a wonderful idea for recharging that creative side of ourselves. So important to just be gentle with ourselves and just trust that we will get back into the swing of things again, it just may take more a bit time than we'd like. Ooooh I LOVE that story for this page about your fierce teen daughter telling you to stay out of her room! I have two teenagers so I can totally relate to those emotional years lol!!! Thank you so much for being here, it was wonderful to chat with you. Sending you lots of love and hugs and hope to see you again soon! 🌸✨🧚♀️🌈🐯✨❤
SO GREAT TO SEE YOU BACK 🤓 No worries, life happens. We’ll be here 😉 It’s an absolute must to rest and recharge, imperative to replenish the well. Slow is fine 🐢🐌🦥 Gluebook rooms fascinate me 🤩 this castle is so fun 🏰 So glad to see you creating again. Let it fill you up 🍄🌿🕉️
Hellloooooo there Ker! 🖤💚💜 Oh my gosh it's great to be back, I've missed everyone here so much! It's funny how allowing ourselves time to recuperate from life/stress can seem so difficult. We always want to go go go! Thank you so much for your encouraging words, appreciate you so much my friend. 💕💕💕 Feeling like creating again so that's exciting! And our Summer glue book pages are calling to me... I think it might be time to head back up to the studio! Thank you so much for hanging out with me today, always great to see you. Sending lots and lots of love and hugs to you and Bitsy from Sophia and I! 🐶❤🌈✨🍄💕
I am glad you are back! I had just begun to watch you and then you disappeared. I thought maybe you had things in the forest to tend to, or perhaps you decided to swing on a grapevine in the forest and smacked right into a tree and knocked yourself silly! Life happens to us. I like your castle glue book. I think I might start a glue book, since it looks like fun! Great page and I love that frog. Frogs are adorable little creatures!! 🐸🐸
Hello Rachel! 🌸✨🧚♀️🌈 Oh my goodness I'm so sorry I vanished for a bit there! 😅 Oh yes the forest definitely needed some tending-to! There are some inhabitants that have needed some extra love and looking after lately. That plus I took a wrong turn in the forest and found myself a bit lost for a bit... but now I'm back and feeling ready to dive back into creativity! (okay let's not overdo it there Amy, take it easy!) 😂 That's awesome that you are thinking of starting a glue book - it's great fun! Warning - once you start gluing, you may not be able to stop haha! Totally agree about frogs - they are the BEST! Lots of love and hugs to you my friend! 🐸❤❤🌈✨💕
Hello Amyyyy !! Welcome back ☺️ I'm with opal wings 🦢 at the lake watching you create in your castle 🏰 journal 😍🤩 (he is very talkative today and I think he says Helloooo to you ☺️) I'm sooo happy to know you're back and your family is doing good ☺️☺️ I absolutely loveeeeeee your beautiful tropical room 🤩🤩 thank you soooo much for sharing ❤❤❤ take care my friend ❤❤ hugs and blessings to you ❤❤❤
Hello sweet Sylvia, I've missed you so much! 🌸✨🧚♀️🌈 And a great big hello to you as well Opal Wings! That is SOOOO awesome that you were able to spend time with him again! Have you been spending lots of time at the lake this Summer? I hope you have been well my dear friend.

Hello Martha, wonderful to see you again! 🌸✨🧚♀️🌈 Thank you so much for your kind words and for your patience while I was away. I bet you've been creating some fun stuff, I have to catch up on videos. Sending you lots of love and hugs my friend! 💗💗💗
Dear Amy and all the wonderful magical creatures over there in the Doki Doki Forest 🌳 ❤Welcome back, what a gentle page you created. Thank you for being you and leading by example, following your priorities and self care, such a great reminder for us. Go gently 🧚🏼🍄🐉
Hello Janet, so so wonderful to chat with you again! 🌸✨🧚♀️🌈 Thank you so much for your encouraging words. It's funny how we can so easily give our time to taking care of others, but taking the time we need to take care of ourselves can be so difficult to allow. Think I'm finally getting back into the swing of things over here - fingers crossed! Hope you have been enjoying a lovely summer and lots and lots of love and hugs to you, Freddie, Flo and the fam! I've missed you all tons! 🐲🌈🏰✨💕💗
Thank you so much Leanne, so great of you to stop by today! 🌸✨🧚♀️🌈 The shaped magazines are so much fun to glue in, it's a great way to get the creativity flowing. Wishing you a wonderful day and hope to see you again soon! 🦄✨💕
