Through your channel I found Nadja’s IG and stated following her. I recently had my brother and wife visit from Germany, and he bought one of her journals for me as a thankyou for having their daughter here in New Zealand as an exchange student for 6 months. I feel like a kid in a candy store owning one of her journals, and I must thank you for introducing me to her channel! ❤️
I truly enjoy this type of video the most. You have the MOST interesting scraps😂 Congratulations on your health journey, it's always worthwhile to invest in yourself❤ I hope you feel better soon.
I’m working on a comfort journal containing all kind of sweet words helping me to strengthen me during the last months of my dear hubby. I was inspired by Luise’s last video.
That’s a lovely idea! So sorry your husband is so sick. It’s just not fair is it? I have a friend who is unfortunately also losing a battle with cancer (at only 51) & I want to make her a journal but just wasn’t quite sure how to theme it, but words of comfort & love is a great idea. I hope you’ve got people & furry/feathered/scaly people to help you cope …/hug 🤗🐶
@@allisonjames2923 thanks dear, lovely words always helps! As for battling cancer: I don’t believe it’s a battle ( war sounds so harsh) seems a kind of disease that helps to prepare for the journey into the next world. Anyway I hope to fill this journal with wonderful quotes etc.
It's fascinating to me to watch you change the entire look of a page just by adding a few tiny little pieces. Is anyone else here old enough to remember when we made our own glue erasers out of globs of rubber cement?
Thank you, Barbara, for sharing your creative process and also your lifestyle struggle. Sending calming, healing energy your way and hoping you settle into your “new normal” and become accustomed to a new way of healthy eating. It’s a process, indeed, and it gets easier to navigate with practice, just like any new routine. You’ve got this! ❤
Don't skip the pizza with your girlfriends, just do not eat the crust! I do that a lot as a diabetic to cut out the carbs. Same flavor and you won't miss out. Also you are going to need to get a 3x4 Kallax soon with your expanding journal collection! Love seeing them all lined up like that.
I do hope you start feeling better soon. Sure seems like these nasty bugs are kicking everyone, and all over the world 😬. Lovely and relaxing crafting, thank you for bringing us along! Hugs 🤗❤️
Get well soon! Thank you for taking the time to film when you don't feel well. Love this journal, was so nice to see it again, now embellished a little bit more (because deserves such a treatment 🙃). And the moment when they were all three together was a picture perfect...picture. 💞
You mention hoping we're working along with you.....yup, working on eating my lunch every time you post 😆 (you post noon my time, so it's the perfect lunch time break for me!). We did one of the DNA heritage things - found out I was a lot less diverse than I thought (knew mostly European heritage but it's very much just one area).
❤ a very lovely video, sweetie. I love these, just hanging out and do "easy" crafting 😊 ❤ seeing your journals on the shelf, they are masterpieces, what a treasure to have.
Oh yay!! When I choose a video to watch, I always glance at the time to see how long or short it is. I glanced over at your time…. FIFTY ONE MINUTES!!!! Yay!! So I leaned back in my recliner with a cozy blanket. My Dachshund jumped up in my lap, got comfy with my blanket too. Video is over, I’m all kinds of inspired and my puppy is snoring (cutest thing ever). I just love these small journals. I especially love the one where you’ve made some upside down tags! Beautiful. I hope you feel better soon. That’s got to be the worse, feeling sick while your hubby’s visiting! Get rested up. ♥️♥️♥️
Barbara, I just love this type of video from you. Very relaxing and nice and long. I really like your little art journal. When you work in it, I always get a calm and cozy feeling. ❤
Hello Barbara! Thank you for your post! Very fun to watch while I'm beading! I have some ideas about increasing protein without eating meat! You could try lentils, tofu, hummus (chickpeas) and even quinoa which has a very high protein content, the highest of all the grains. You could also have more legumes, but make sure to pre-soak for a day or two to break down the hard tomdigest proteins, and cook them with a bay leaf and a little salt in a slow cooker (do you have Crockpots over there?) Ihope you are feeling better by the time you read this! Cheers! ❤
Thank you! I love all those foods, but they also have plenty of carbs. I realized I can’t gets the desired amount without supplementing with vegan protein powder, but that’s ok.
Of course diet and health choices are so so personal. I adhere to the McDougall Plan by Dr John McDougall (at least I try to do that!) I'm fairly sure your trainer will not like it because it's all about a starch-centered diet. Consider how elephants and hippos do not eat meat and they are very strong animals. Not that I'm suggesting you get that large and muscley. Even consider gorillas! Please google the Barleymen from ancient Rome! They never ate meat and they were gladiators! @49dragonflies You can actually go into ketosis if you eat too much protein, and also strip your body of calcium! So balance is key. Really it's not the carbs but the lack of fiber with the carbs that cause the problem. Refined foods, like too much bread and pasta are like mainlining sugar because there's no fiber to slow the digestion of starch-sugars. Of course dark German bread is fantastic as there is so much fiber it is an exception.Anyway feel free to push me off my soap box now Barbara!!!
Hi Barbara. I do hope that you start to feel better soon. 💗 I just thought that I would mention - I use baking soda rather than wax or talc on sticky things. It's odorless, slightly gritty, and it wipes off easily whilst leaving an invisible layer behind. 🧡💚🤎
Thank you Barbara for a video while you weren’t feeling well. I hope with each day you feel better. How wonderful you will be coming to the US. Wish I could meet you! I do have actually 2 of those glue erasers. Good luck with your eating journey. I so enjoyed watching you create and you chatting with us. TFS! ❤
Thanks Barbara!! I try to always comment. You are my FAVORITE RUclipsr. I was a little late watching this video though. Glad you are feeling better!! ❤
❤ concentrated cruciferous vegs, called dim, is easy. Eggs are great for essential amino acids. I ferment my bread dough in fridge. Before use it, at least a day. Just basic recipe. Not sour dough. Marys Nest recipe video. I did increase yeast. Love your little journals. Take care of that cold. Try some thyme tea. Maybe put mint with it. Be safe. Oolong tea is great too.
I really do hope you feel better soon. I too am on a regimen. It’s basically KETO. No carbs though, or very little. I work out as well. I’ve lost 4 pounds in 3 weeks. It’s slow going. I needed your message today. Just trust the process, stay positive, and stay consistent. Unfortunately but fortunately I too have a vacation in the middle, but I can’t cancel. So I will do my best and return to my regimen when I return. Hugs and well wishes to you my dear. ❤😊
Enjoyed this uncut video. "Consistency is Key." Love it. And, I hope you get your rest. Drink your hot teas with lemon and honey. Some chicken soup is great medicine. Hydrate. Create yourself healthy 😉👍
“We’re going to take the wrapping back anyway “ 😂 you bet! I gave a box of pastries on Valentine’s Day and then collected the doilies and gold pastry coasters 😂
Dear Barbara, i hope you're feeling better soon! I'm also a little bit sick, so i can relate! You definitely need to rest and eat healthy nutritional food! ❤❤❤ I love your uncut videos and your beautiful and squishy art journal! I love that it is more colorful throughout the pages, and i love the texture and the hues of the acrylic colors in it! This one of your journals is matching mostly to my style, and i so much enjoy it when you're creating in it! 🤗🤗🤗 I'm so amazed at how focused and determined you're with your workout program and your eating habits that you canceled your trip and that you won't eat pizza with your friends! 😮😮😮👏👏👏 I wish i was just a bit like you at those matters! Way you go, girl!!! Love and hugs, Elena
Hello, I was down loading my YT video, doing a series on Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain… and yes it was a New Years goal… to draw better or a masterpiece!🥰. It was wonderful working along with you and sharing your life moments. I’m sure you will achieve your health goals and how fun with the DNA kit and your hand pan music adventures! 🙏😍💗
You're a far better woman than I (not to meant...younger too) to go through all the trouble for self improvement....Good Luck!...You're such an inspiration as a person as well as a junk journalist... Love the cute tiny weeny dragonfly images...........................😻
Enjoying the uncut! DNA results can be super surprising! I knew I was mostly UK 86%. But then 11% French!! And I have the second highest count of Neanderthal gene!!!! In 23 and Me. I think from the French part of me😂. So cool to do.
I am not on anything drastically new but still new to me in terms of the level of enjoyment/satisfaction/motivation I get from it. I discovered this exercise RUclips channel not so long ago and it keeps me going. It is called MIZI. When I feel lazy I do just 15 min videos. When I am stronger in willpower, I can go for 40 mins. Very doable and effective. 16:17 and another tip from me for this spot: If you do not have pieces of paper with sewing machine stitches, you can cut some old clothes and use some of the seams to decorate your JJs.
Yes been on a optimum health journey for almost a year now …. Major lifestyle changes … didn’t start it to lose weight but that has been a side benefit(50+) lbs …. And my health has improved in significant ways…. Started this journey because of a health scare in March 2023. It’s been so worth the challenges. And yes while traveling the last 6 weeks it’s been harder to stay the course with my new diet…. Allowing myself to do the best I can and so far my health has been stable even with not being quite as strict as when I’m home.
Your future Barbara will thank you for sticking to your fitness program. Especially once you enter menopause and your metabolism changes. You are a ways off yet...;) I was 42, so over 20 years later I also am very conscientious of consuming more protein for more muscle mass to support my bird bones.😂 It's work, I am only 106 pounds, so its daily exercise and wise calories.😊 I was working on my journal, so now I'm relaxing and watching your video again! I love this little journal.❤ feel better soon!
I really enjoyed and learned so much from your video. Thanks so much! I'm always u s looking for things to decorate pages and this is a awesome group of ideas. The journal looks beautiful! I love the way you teach and your voice is so calm and soothing, it'd like therapy lol may God truly bless you and thanks so much for sharing your process! Really enjoyed it! Hugs and love , Beverly Spell
I so hope you're feeling better now! Having a cold when you've recently started a fitness journey is crap... But, you've got this! Just don't be stressed out with eating out. I'm sure your coach can give you some great advice on that too. 😊 I do love these videos and I craft beside you, in a journal I've been wanting to make and now feel somewhat confident to start with (slowly). Love this little journal so much! And, if I can make a request for the future? A video on how your thought process is when you put these pages together in a journal such as this (or perhaps you've already made on and my memory is not with me...). 😊
Hi Barbara, when my glue gets really stuck, I run the nozzle under really hot water. I have a hot water spout that I make coffee /tea with but I’m sure your faucet would work also Love to watch you do your magic❤
Loveing this series ❤just chilling out with you 😍 I'm starting a workout plan, when I am done mooveing in to my new apartment 💪😻 good to know about the protein 😊 lots of healing love from arctic Norrway 🙌🌹🌼🌻🌷
Finally some calm after a chaotic week 🤗. Aw I hope you feel better🤗. Cute container! Lol inking such tiny pieces is dedication🙊. I love using sewn paper strips 😁. I love the sound of those pan thingies. Stood listening to a busker for about an hour one time. Oh yes it's hard getting the amount of protein when training. But you'll have great muscles and Angelina Jolie said when she did high protein training for Tomb Raider she gain a lot of...ahem.... 'chest' muscle 🙊. I may have trained too much at some point🙈. I really miss it now I can't. Wishing you the very best of success 🤗 . You got loads of bit done there 👍. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖
Lovely video Barbara. I loved that it was longer than usual. Great items as always. Rest up and feel better soon. I am in the same position just getting over a cold and sound just like you 😂 xx
Thank you Barbara. I hopeyou are feeling a little better now. I love how colourful this journal is. I am probably about half way through creating my first journal and been looking at your videos for ideas and a little bits of inspiration. I had been making some inserts this afternoon so I have sat and watched the video this evening and was writing on the my inserts whilst watching the video.
I so enjoyed this video. I was making a page in my JJ while watching and you inspired me to include things that were just lying around on my desk. It's a different result to what i normally make and that's fab because I was becoming a bit uninspired. I am also using my fitness pal. I have to lose weight for health reasons. I have lost 6 stone since 2020 and 4 of those since last April! I swim every day too. Good luck with your health journey. I'm sure you will achieve your goals! Xx
I thought my ancestry would show some Spanish/French origins since my maiden name comes from that area, however, it showed mostly Mayan ancestry! Wish I could claim some of that gold!! 😊
Interesting. Was the size of the journals a conscious decision or just happens organically over time? I feel like sometimes I fight my natural tendencies,wirh too much planning, but watching you makes me feel like maybe I should let go more and see what happens. Great tip with the wax! My pages do stick from time to time. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
I tried to get one of those bento boxes when your other video first came out. It looks like it’s still unavailable…maybe they’re done? Love this journal!❤
I need to count my carbs. Staying healthy is SO much more! I hate having to think about everything I put in my mouth. I’ve been doing this off and on all my adult life. I am like you - all or nothing. I can’t do anything half way. And because I get so rigid when I’m dieting it’s hard to stay on the program.
Because I have a chronic condition and am an older woman, I am constantly checking my food and fluid intake . I do think it's a bit neurotic of me. Lately I have been increasing my protein levels too. I have a lot of foods that I react to now which is very annoying foods like eggs cheese and yogurt which use to be staples for me. I have weight problems because of the steroids and other medicinesI i have taken . I am wondering if your cold is a reaction to the changes you have been making? I hope you feel better soon. Arohanui from me in Aotearoa New Zealand ❤.
Love your videos. I wonder if you buy new distress oxide pads when they are dry or do you use the refill? Do you know how much refill should be added on the pad and how long does it take for it to suck in?
You may be surprised at hidden sources of protein- oats, chickpeas, beans, lentils and of course soy products are high in protein as are most vegetables and even potatoes! It’s a myth that we need meat, and it’s amazing how many professionals are unaware.
Hey Barbara, it’s Jane from WV. I’m a bit concerned about you, because I have the flu A! It’s the same symptoms you have. You need antibiotics, and a steroid. Please go to the dr. You can’t let it go. It’s the flu strand that doesn’t resist the vaccine. I hope you will go to dr. It’s also very contagious…….hope your hubby doesn’t get it. Feel better sweetie! Keep making these videos! Much hope and prayers for good health. Jane
I think you can have, like once in a blue moon, a "cheat" day and allow yourself to go out and eat whatever you like. You look stressed out too much with this program.
Your voice sounded fine but having that headachy feeling that comes with a cold is awful. Take care of yourself. It's so hard to be on a specific program for fitness but I've learned that if one day goes awry - as they will - you have to have the fortitude to go right back the next day. I've always wanted to do the DNA testing. I just never seem to just do it. Now might be a good time! I keep getting discounts from Ancestry so, why not!

My goodness Barbara! Take care! I hope by the time we're seeing this, you're feeling better! All the best of luck with your new training program. 🙏❤️
I absolutely love this little beauty! Your artistic ability abounds… I am always amazed at your work! Fabulous!😊
Thank you, Barbara, for sharing your creative process and also your lifestyle struggle. Sending calming, healing energy your way and hoping you settle into your “new normal” and become accustomed to a new way of healthy eating. It’s a process, indeed, and it gets easier to navigate with practice, just like any new routine. You’ve got this! ❤

Don't skip the pizza with your girlfriends, just do not eat the crust! I do that a lot as a diabetic to cut out the carbs. Same flavor and you won't miss out.
Also you are going to need to get a 3x4 Kallax soon with your expanding journal collection! Love seeing them all lined up like that.
I do hope you start feeling better soon. Sure seems like these nasty bugs are kicking everyone, and all over the world 😬. Lovely and relaxing crafting, thank you for bringing us along! Hugs 🤗❤️
I've had an amazing time relaxing with you this morning, watching you create and listening to you...love you soo much sweetie!!❤
Aaaw thank you sweetie! So happy we could spend some crafty time together. Sending lots of hugs your way, girlfriend 🥰❤️
Took your journaling comments to heart. Was going to give junk journals up. But now I will keep practicing.
OMG that makes me so happy! ❤️😊
Get well soon! Thank you for taking the time to film when you don't feel well. Love this journal, was so nice to see it again, now embellished a little bit more (because deserves such a treatment 🙃). And the moment when they were all three together was a picture perfect...picture. 💞
Ich liebe deine Videos und schaue mir jede Woche einige an.
Schreibmaschine schreiben ✍️ tust du gut 👍 bleib wie du bist ❤
You mention hoping we're working along with you.....yup, working on eating my lunch every time you post 😆 (you post noon my time, so it's the perfect lunch time break for me!).
We did one of the DNA heritage things - found out I was a lot less diverse than I thought (knew mostly European heritage but it's very much just one area).
You've created some lovely pages! Feel better soon ❤

I hope you feel better soon. That’s got to be the worse, feeling sick while your hubby’s visiting! Get rested up. ♥️♥️♥️
Thanks sweetie! I can picture you so well with your Für baby snoring on your lap! 😊❤️
I hope you feel lots better soon. Best wishes on your health journey!

Hello Barbara!
Thank you for your post! Very fun to watch while I'm beading! I have some ideas about increasing protein without eating meat! You could try lentils, tofu, hummus (chickpeas) and even quinoa which has a very high protein content, the highest of all the grains. You could also have more legumes, but make sure to pre-soak for a day or two to break down the hard tomdigest proteins, and cook them with a bay leaf and a little salt in a slow cooker (do you have Crockpots over there?)

Love your uncut videos! I especially appreciate your explanations of the choicest you do or don’t make. Thanks for the inspiration!
Sometimes, I choose gift packaging just so that i can steal it back for use in my journals 😂
I've purchased many gift bags with that idea in mind
Haha love that! 😃❤️
Such wonderful clusters and embellishments. TFS 🎉🎉🎉
I am making leaves. Waterpaint, cut, than doodle on them. Really nice working with you 🎉
Oh I’m so excited you are doing a DNA heritage test. I did mine through ancestry. I’m 50% German and 50% French. Can’t wait to hear more.
Hello, I was down loading my YT video, doing a series on Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain… and yes it was a New Years goal… to draw better or a masterpiece!🥰.

Funny that you mention Nadja in this video. Tomorrow I will visit her and have a workshop. So exciting.
OMG how awesome! Have a wonderful time! ❤️
I love your journal so colorful
Loveing this series ❤just chilling out with you 😍 I'm starting a workout plan, when I am done mooveing in to my new apartment 💪😻 good to know about the protein 😊 lots of healing love from arctic Norrway 🙌🌹🌼🌻🌷
Thank you and good luck moving! ❤️
I hope you feel better soon!! ❤
Finally some calm after a chaotic week 🤗. Aw I hope you feel better🤗. Cute container! Lol inking such tiny pieces is dedication🙊. I love using sewn paper strips 😁. I love the sound of those pan thingies. Stood listening to a busker for about an hour one time. Oh yes it's hard getting the amount of protein when training. But you'll have great muscles and Angelina Jolie said when she did high protein training for Tomb Raider she gain a lot of...ahem.... 'chest' muscle 🙊. I may have trained too much at some point🙈. I really miss it now I can't. Wishing you the very best of success 🤗 . You got loads of bit done there 👍. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖
Thank you sweetie! Have a good weekend! ❤️
⛄️🇨🇦❤️❄️
Lovely video Barbara. I loved that it was longer than usual. Great items as always. Rest up and feel better soon. I am in the same position just getting over a cold and sound just like you 😂 xx
Thank you! Hope you feel better soon! 😘
Thank you Barbara. I hopeyou are feeling a little better now. I love how colourful this journal is.
I am probably about half way through creating my first journal and been looking at your videos for ideas and a little bits of inspiration. I had been making some inserts this afternoon so I have sat and watched the video this evening and was writing on the my inserts whilst watching the video.
Wonderful! Congrats on your first journal! 🙌 🙌
@@49dragonflies Thank you
I so enjoyed this video. I was making a page in my JJ while watching and you inspired me to include things that were just lying around on my desk. It's a different result to what i normally make and that's fab because I was becoming a bit uninspired.
I am also using my fitness pal. I have to lose weight for health reasons. I have lost 6 stone since 2020 and 4 of those since last April! I swim every day too. Good luck with your health journey. I'm sure you will achieve your goals! Xx
Thank you! You should be so proud of your achievements! Good luck for your continued health journey ❤️
Tx and take care!!!🎉
While looking your video I am organizing my lace and ribbon drawer
I hope you feel better soon! Get some rest!
I struggle to get enough protein too.
Barbara, I struggle with getting my protein in too. I follow some great IG accounts that have great easy protein packed recipes.
Oh I hope you feel better soon. I’m at the beginning of a cold and it’s not fun at all!
Thanks! I wish you a speedy recovery! ❤️
I thought my ancestry would show some Spanish/French origins since my maiden name comes from that area, however, it showed mostly Mayan ancestry! Wish I could claim some of that gold!! 😊
Interesting. Was the size of the journals a conscious decision or just happens organically over time? I feel like sometimes I fight my natural tendencies,wirh too much planning, but watching you makes me feel like maybe I should let go more and see what happens. Great tip with the wax! My pages do stick from time to time. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Thanks! Most journal sizes come naturally…
I have done the dna test and found an older sister I didn’t know about… good luck with yours ❤
OMG how amazing is that! ❤️
I love your journals, especially that size. I noticed that you dated your tag February. Will you remember that it was 2024?
Thanks! Good point! I should add the year! ❤️
I tried to get one of those bento boxes when your other video first came out. It looks like it’s still unavailable…maybe they’re done? Love this journal!❤
I think so too…looks like they only sell ephemera now….
I love You trying vegan! ❤
I love the handpan music. Have you listened Malte Marten x
Yes, I’m obsessed! 😃
I need to count my carbs. Staying healthy is SO much more! I hate having to think about everything I put in my mouth. I’ve been doing this off and on all my adult life. I am like you - all or nothing. I can’t do anything half way. And because I get so rigid when I’m dieting it’s hard to stay on the program.
I feel you! ❤️
Because I have a chronic condition and am an older woman, I am constantly checking my food and fluid intake . I do think it's a bit neurotic of me. Lately I have been increasing my protein levels too. I have a lot of foods that I react to now which is very annoying foods like eggs cheese and yogurt which use to be staples for me. I have weight problems because of the steroids and other medicinesI i have taken . I am wondering if your cold is a reaction to the changes you have been making? I hope you feel better soon. Arohanui from me in Aotearoa New Zealand ❤.
Thank you and all the best for your diet changes! I’m pretty sure I got my cold at the fitness center….
@@49dragonflies Isn't that a paradoxical thing. Murphies law.🤨🙄😊
Do you have a tutorial on how to make the charm toggle for the pin on your art glitter glue?
I don’t, but Tracy Fox has an old one.
Love your videos. I wonder if you buy new distress oxide pads when they are dry or do you use the refill? Do you know how much refill should be added on the pad and how long does it take for it to suck in?
I use refillers and I add quite a bit until I see the surface is saturated and let it soak in over night, but I’m not sure that’s the correct way 🤷♀️
Hi Barbara. Hope you are well. How old are you? Did you also learn to type on such an old machine?
I learned on an electronic typewriter 😊
What is the size of this journal 😊
Love this video and to see how you think. Thank you!!
10.5 x 14 cm
@@49dragonflies Thank you
I know almost nothing about my ancestry and I'm not sure I want to know. What if it makes me feel different about myself 😮!!?
You may be surprised at hidden sources of protein- oats, chickpeas, beans, lentils and of course soy products are high in protein as are most vegetables and even potatoes! It’s a myth that we need meat, and it’s amazing how many professionals are unaware.
Thanks! I’m aware, but all these have more carbs than protein….
@@49dragonflies ugh… so hard… I wish you success ❤️
Be careful with eating yogurt, many brands have high levels of sugar
Hey Barbara, it’s Jane from WV. I’m a bit concerned about you, because I have the flu A! It’s the same symptoms you have. You need antibiotics, and a steroid. Please go to the dr. You can’t let it go. It’s the flu strand that doesn’t resist the vaccine. I hope you will go to dr. It’s also very contagious…….hope your hubby doesn’t get it. Feel better sweetie! Keep making these videos! Much hope and prayers for good health. Jane
Thanks for your concern, Jane! ❤️ I’m actually much better, all good! 🥰
Barbara...please go take a rest!
I think you can have, like once in a blue moon, a "cheat" day and allow yourself to go out and eat whatever you like. You look stressed out too much with this program.
Your voice sounded fine but having that headachy feeling that comes with a cold is awful. Take care of yourself. It's so hard to be on a specific program for fitness but I've learned that if one day goes awry - as they will - you have to have the fortitude to go right back the next day. I've always wanted to do the DNA testing. I just never seem to just do it. Now might be a good time! I keep getting discounts from Ancestry so, why not!
Thank you! Yes, do the DNA test. Could be super interesting 😊
We will miss you in the US but good luck on “controlling CARBS, prioritizing PROTEINS and not fearing FAT” healthy metabolic journey…..
thanks for sharing hope you get to feeling better soon take care stay safe
❤
