I purchased the "Dusky Pink Little Lady", she has made the trip to Arkansas, United States...Rec'd it today, Christmas in June...!! Can't put it down, examining over and over, she is so lovely...You can see Sara Lee puts her heart into making these, they are just action packed with imagination, creativeness and pure joy in putting them together, what a skill. It will be my favorite toy to just sit and look through and be inspired from, am motivated to do some creating too. SOOO CONTENTED WITH "DUSKY PINK"!!
Aaw Sherrie, I'm so happy she's found a home with someone who loves her so much. Thank you so much for appreciating my art and supporting my passion 💛😊🌼
Your journals are some of the most beautiful and most creative that I have ever seen (and I have seen hundreds). Also, although I have said it before, you use gelli prints the best way I have ever seen. Most just look like a mess of pottage, really ugly and useless, but yours are carefully thought out and beautiful to look at. Furthermore, it is so much more original and satisfying than always using purchased paper kits which are, after all, someone else's art work. Thank you for sharing; they always inspire me and provide great ideas (Diane, England).
I have to say your style is absolutely my favorite of all the creators that I watch and I watch many. The eye catching details, the soft nostalgic colors, the plethora of desirable textures, makes me feel like each page is a crafted piece of art. I’m in awe of your talent! Thank you for such inspiration!❤
Oh wow 😲 that is super high praise! I am humbled by your kind words🩷🩷🩷 thank you so much for appreciating my artistic style, your support means the world to be

Cannot add much more to the other wonderful comments but the presentation of this gorgeous journal leaves me drooling. It is so so beautiful! Ideas in abundance combined to such a precious piece of art …
The glory of this journal leaves me speechless. And the world 'glorious' is the right word. Sara-Lee, you take heirloom journal making to a new high. Regarding the 1941 letter written on the super thin paper: I think it might have been called 'onion-skin' because of its thinness. It was used during World Ward II for correspondence as it was very light in weight and therefore it was more economical to mail, particularly air-mail, than regular stationary. Thanks for the beautiful journal views.
Oh! I've heard about this but I didn't know how to recognize it or the era it was used! That makes complete sense! Thank you so much! I love learning new things 🥰 thank you for taking the time to watch and write such kind words 🩷🩷🩷
Beautiful and so inspiring. Thank you for showing her to us. Love the floral images printed on music page and that green page you commented on is a perfect complement for the dusky pink. I also always love your flips, tucks, hidden pockets and all the other interactive parts of your journals. Hi to Needles (did I hear that right?)
Really? On pinterest? 😲 I wonder how that got there? Thank you for letting me know, and thank you for watching 🥰 if you happened to save the link I would love to investigate lol
It was just the one picture(small pink page with a tab and charm) but when you click on it it takes you to your RUclips of the flip thru I hope that it doesn’t cause any problems. It’s how I found you and became a subscriber Thanks so much for sharing your talent with all of us
@user-un5ic7zl1x oh not a problem at all! I was just interested to know how it got there🥰 the more people I can share ideas with the better, I'm glad you found me and that people have another avenue to do so 😊🌼💛 thank you for letting me know
I love her Sara! 😍❤have a real soft spot for small chunky journals, and she is beautiful! And yes, perfection is overrated, yet a hard thing to let go for some of us…I still struggle but am so much better than I used to be. 😀😘
I totally agree! I'm getting there lol I saw the focus issues when I watched it back, and I was like "nope! You are NOT going to refill that!" 🤣 thank you so much 🥰
Oh my Sara, she is LUSCIOUS! So often I describe with words that are used for food lol! 🤣When I saw her tho that is the word that came to my head!!! You are a beautiful artist!
So pretty and cute! I love seeing you and your family in the photos you’ve added. And the watercolor signed by you! Great additions to an amazing journal! 🥰🥰🥰
Absolutely Gorgeous love everything about your journal especially the cover for your cover and the size. I will continue to watch this video over and over. KUDOS
Haha yes Needles, she just had to get in there 😆 she thinks I'm talking to her because no one else is in the room, either that or she's concerned because she thinks I'm going mad! Thank you
Absolutely beautiful!!! Absolutely love your journals, so many brilliant ideas. What is it with cats and their bottoms😂😂 seems it’s all they want us to see😂😂😘❤️
Aaaw thank you, sometimes I wonder if the new owner would want personal family photos of the maker, but my journals are me, and made from the heart, and I guess all old photos are someone's personal photos!
Hermoso trabajo. Un diario super romántico y elegante, con muchas cosas dentro y espacio para la escritura. Todo quedó genial, te felicito!!! Cariños desde s Argentina 🇦🇷
Oh my! No way! Haha I can't believe they have almost the same name 😄 you must have been surprised to hear another cat with that name too! Thank you so much 🌼😊💛
If you are wondering, the handwritten letter is on onion skin. In the middle 20th century airmail was expensive and postage was charged by weight. Onion skin was used for carbon copies of typewritten correspondence and so was readily available, it’s likely the writer wanted to save on costs.
A beautiful journal. I love it. It would be wonderful to see your process and construction of a journal in a start to finish series. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much! Funny you should mention that! I am currently in the works of figuring out how to do that, as I like to craft with background noise (my tv). I'm thinking I could create a time lapse with no talking 🤔 or voice over?

The letter on the thin paper is on rice paper. It was used to cut down on weight during WW2 especially for airmail letters.
Aaw thank you ❤️😊 I thought it was onion skin

Thank you for taking the time to comment and let me know! 🤗 I will have to look through my stash of letters from 1940 to see if there are any more!
Love it❤

THANK YOU! 🌹❤️
Helloooo kitty! 🖤🐈⬛
A beautiful journal. I love it. It would be wonderful to see your process and construction of a journal in a start to finish series. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much! Funny you should mention that! I am currently in the works of figuring out how to do that, as I like to craft with background noise (my tv). I'm thinking I could create a time lapse with no talking 🤔 or voice over?
Absolutely beautiful!!!! How long did it take to create????
Thank you 🥰 well I thought half the size would mean half the time, but it didn't lol approx 70 hours🩷
Wow! So beautiful! How long did it take you to make this journal?
Well ... I thought that half the size might mean half the time, it didnt 🤣 I got trapped in all the little details! It took about 70 hours 🥰
What part of nz are you I live in whakatane
