It’s so nice to see you on RU-vid again!! I missed your amazing talent that always inspires!!

Wonderful journal - so exciting to build a house from scratch! Wonderful home! Mr Cog - you are a hero!

What a beautiful beautiful gift!! You are so sweet & obviously so is Cog. Thank you for sharing!!! You give us so many inspiring ideas. This will be a treasure for your family- generations to come !

I enjoyed every minute of this video. It is infused with such a beautiful, caring, and sincere love. What a treasure. We live communal with our family. Three little houses built in a row in 2018. It is such a gift and blessing. ✂️📄💕🙌🥰🌈

How truly fascinating, I could watch things like that all day and never tire of them. Thanks for sharing your lovely memories, all so interesting. What an achievement.

Your journals are a work full of small details, I find them charming, thank you for sharing them.

Fabulous to see another jj.

Very impressive. Great job!!

You have a great guy there. It was a beautiful journal made with do much love. Thank you for sharing the journey that Mr Cog traveled for these last two plus years. I am very happy that you have your family gathered together. Big hug always.

This journal is priceless.

Fabulous! My hubby created log furniture before he retired (Covid forced), the price of lumber afterwards made it near impossible for people to purchase, so at 75 he finally retired. I can appreciate someone who goes the extra mile, good for your hubby! Hope your mom is enJOYing her new home and that her dis-ease is progressing slowly. I referred your link today, you are one of my favorite 'artists'. Love your touching comments regarding your hubbies eyes and his gentle humor. Most 'men's men are endearing by nature. We are blessed...

❤❤❤. Mrs Cog, this speaks love, love of your husband, love for your mum and love of your craft. What a treasure for your husband and all his hard work. My father use to keep a farm journal 📓. Blessings lovely from Colleen.😊❤

Oh Liz what a wonderful keepsake showing the whole process and what a joy it was for us to follow the journey along with you. The love you all have for each other and for your land shines through every step of the way. Much love and hugs xx

Thank you for sharing your journey into building this beautiful home for your mother. I just began watching when my fiance' (who is very skilled at carpentry and everything else when it comes to home projects) came over to get a hand rub and we watched this video. He knows all the junk journal lingo since I kinda coax him to review mine. haha. Anyway, your journal for your husband is so thoughtful and will be a treasure in the years to come. Xx

I love the journal and the story!

How wonderful!!

Dear Elizabeth, ❤ As I enjoyed seeing each page with you, I have no words that are big enough to express my amazement, besides , the tears get in the way! Tears of joy and happiness for you and all the family, Michael and everyone involved created a beautiful house. Your journal certainly captured all the stepping stones from beginning to end beautifully, It will be enjoyed for years to come I’m sure as you fondly remember that time. Such joy to have your Mother close by now along with the girls, happiness looms in all directions 😊 The journal is absolutely wonderful and I’m sure Michael has such love in his heart for you and the beautiful work you do and now has has his very own piece of your work.

Great journal Liz. I'm sure Cog is thrilled with his journal and I LOVE you added all the photos. You're mom is so very fortunate and what wonderful years you have to look forward to having her close by. You're compound is growing and your lives just got better. Blessings to you all and enjoy the closeness you all will share now. I'm sure canning season has started for you and your garden has been plently ...... I don't have FB anymore so I can't see all you've accomplished. Hugs and best wishes 🥰 Barbie

Such a beautiful journal

Liz, what an amazing testament of love and devotion, very rare in families these days. And Yes it was a blessing from the Lord Jesus Christ that you all were able to get the majority of your lumber needs before the prices skyrocketed. A Blessing indeed. Thanks so very much for sharing this amazing journal and the awesome memories of your family. God bless you and your family for many years to come. Always be thankful and grateful, as I'm sure you all are. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
