Hi Danielle. Your video is wonderful. 💕 These are the kind of journals I’d like to see. And those tags from the pyjamas are so cute because one is toddler size and one is for kids size and as your girls grow of course the toddler one will not be in your journal as both girls will be in Kids size, and you’ll see the progression of time and that’s wonderful. When you look back This will tell us so much about your life then. Thank you so much for sharing and I think you were very creative With your documenting. you have a wonderful record of Christmas. If you do share the binder journal creation, that would be wonderful. I use the binders, but they’re really hard to find at a reasonable price in Canada and I drive down to WA! Take care and it’s good to see you celebrating with your family😊
Thank you! Yes, they are hard to find and pricey for some reason. Maybe we need to go into the binder apparatus business 😊 I hope you are well! Thanks for watching the video
Danielle, it is good to take a break, especially at Christmas. Your journal is filled with precious memories of your family and artwork. You did so many cute things with your adorable girls. Thank you for sharing it with us. Each page was decorated so cute.
Aww thank you so much! It is good to take a break. I never need breaks from creating but I do sometimes need breaks from RU-vid/social media/Etsy listings and shipping. I hope you had a wonderful holiday season, hope you are well! ❤️
I think it's absolutely beautiful and adorable. You've accomplished the purpose of these Christnas journals that many of us make, which is to document our special memories. Your family and especially your precious daughters will treasure this journal in the years to come. You have a beautiful family. I love everything about your journal, and I enjoyed this flip-through very much. Hello and hugs from Nova Scotia, Canada.
Thank you! You’re right it is beautiful to me because it does accomplish what I set out to accomplish. Thank you so much for your comment about my family, they truly are the whole world to me! Ps you just be freeeeezing up there! 🥶❄️🌨️
Hi Danielle! I just found your channel and I'm thrilled! I'm new to altered book journals, but have been a scrapbooker for about 15-20 years now. I love that you actually show how you use your journals to include pictures. Most channels only show the journals they're selling with no "finished" pages. Since I'm new, this is very helpful and inspirational! I hope you continue to share as much as you are comfortable with of your own journal pages for those of us that need the inspiration!
Hi! I’m so glad you found my channel as well! I’ve been hearing this feedback quite a bit lately so I will continue to share and see how it goes. I think I have other videos or a video showing others as well but it may be on my Instagram. For me, at this stage in my life, keeping it easy is the reason I love junk journaling. So much less pressure in contrast to those giant, perfectly laid out spreads. I hope you enjoy my content and I look forward to talking more! Thank you for watching and commenting ❤️
You’re welcome! I’m so glad you felt inspiration. Your grandson is so VERY fortunate for your willingness to document. My grandmother used to give me a charm for my charm bracelet every year on my birthday (when I was young) and she would pick one that summarized the year and write about it. To this day it’s one of my most cherished possessions. Not quite the same as junk journaling but it was such an act of love. I hope you enjoy your documenting process. Thank you for watching and commenting. ❤️
Hi! Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I’ll have to share more often, seems like people do enjoy these kind of videos so I’m happy to share. I hope you are well and happily creating! Xoxo ❤️
That is some fantastic journaling and you give off such a sweet family life aura. It makes me miss my own sweet family life with my two little girls (the oldest of whom is turning 50 this month - aye-yi-yi IMPOSSIBLE) but it feels like they will come running through the door any minute now at the same age as your girls. (And now I’m going to cry - oh sigh). I so love your videos.
Oh thank you. My family sure is my whole world. I wish I could say we have a perfect little life but only the “highlight reel” gets put in my little journals”. 🤪 You will see this year I’m going to push myself to document the hard parts too, so they can look back and hopefully gain some insight…. Anything I can do to spare them any additional struggles of this complicated world. Gosh, just hearing you wanting your girls to come through the door makes me want to cry 😢 why does it all have to go so fast!?!? I guess that’s what grandchildren are for right 😉
Grandchildren definitely bridge the gap and they bring with them a whole new personality to enjoy. Kids definitely do grow up quickly but you DO get to enjoy and be proud of them every step of the way. I have NO doubts that you will raise the best of the best.
Thank you for sharing inspiration! I kept checking in to see when you posted next and here you are. It is so important to take time for yourself. And yes, would love any tutorials you have a chance to create. Happy New Year!!! ❤
Hi Nancy! I’ve promised myself to do more sharing this year other than journals for sale…so stay tuned and I definitely appreciate any feedback and requests! Hope you are having a wonderful new year!
Beautiful memories in your journal Danielle. Do you remember where you got the digital from that you used on the front page (vintage girl with her cat)? Thanks 😊
Hi, thank you! Yes, that image was from a large collection of greeting cards that I purchased off Etsy from a shop called BigTown Studio. Let me know if you need any help finding it!
