Stephanie, not only was your build super interesting and beautiful but I loved learning tiny bit of arabic culture. Thank you so much for sharing your creation and your knowledge.

Fantastical Journal! Love the story and history of Arabic symbols.

What an intricately fascinating journal. LOVE IT!

So beautiful Stephanie!! Absolutely creative and stunning presentation!!

Another beautiful Job Stephanie!!! So interactive and I love the way your journals have a story.

Such a beautiful and elegant journal. Thank you for the detailed explanation of the contents and for the insight into your creative process.

You have created a beautiful, impressive journal! Thank you so much for sharing it

Stephanie! This is so FUN and informative but above it all, delightfully lovely! The first page with the hidden origami secret pocket is wonderful. The layered collage it amazing. I love layering. Your sweet voice narrates your creation so prettily. Thanks so much for sharing your talent!

Such a fascinating and beautiful journal! I agree with others that I would love to see a tutorial video on making the drawstring box.

Stephanie, Your journal is delightful! I loved that it tells a story and indeed provides knowledge as well as pleasure. Your touches of origami and Turkish paper folding are so intriguing. Thank you for sharing and inspiring me. I will be exploring more of your work. It's fascinating ❤

Wow Stephanie! Your journal is really exceptional, honestly. This is a wonderful theme and you’ve done a wonderful job of developing your concept. I love the little notes and explanations. My favorite part is a the layering. Really lovely.

Fantastic!

This is such a fascinating journal! I especially love the card with the string and box! 🥰

Beautiful job!!! I'd love to see how you did the folded piece on cover!! I love the little notes. It's AMAZING to me when I find ancient images & writings I can include in my journals. How difficult they did them all free hand. No computers back then!!! There's great stuff in Public Domain we can use free. And I love them. I like to put a description on them. When I use pieces of an old book or newspaper, etc., I stamp the corner with the date and country it came from. So that information is retained with the piece. And I usually cut out the picture notes to include so the descriptions are not lost. I love to research anything I'm working on. I think its very interesting!! Thx for sharing this wonderful journal and your clever ideas!!! Austin TX USA

This is absolutely exquisite, Stephanie. Every page was an absolute treat. I would love to learn how to do the Persian map folding technique for the binding, and also, and especially, how to make that incredible unfolding box! I gasped when you pulled on the string! Thank you for sharing your incredible work. What a treasure it is.

You have so many clever ideas! I would love to know how to make the little box, the infinity folding papers and how you bind the book together.

I love this journal. The page that turns into a box is my favorite! How did you do that? Super cool and creative. Thank you for sharing

This was the most educational journal flip thru that I have ever seen. All the information is so fascinating. Did you say you learned how to remove the backgrounds from images and altered images, etc on the Graphics Fairy site? I never knew they had that.

This is truly a fantastic journal how did you do that wonderful box? It really is so different to most journals. Thank you.
