    I was not a fan of using children’s book pages in a journal, but I have to say, you have totally changed my mind. It just really depends on the books and you chose them perfectly.

    So many great ideas. I can’t wait to apply them. Just brought home a box of books from second hand store. (My grandchildren love thrifting with me and have done so from a very young age, they are 8 now. One of them either could not say or understand the word second, so they called it the ‘hand, store. That is what I call second hand stores now, as in “let’s go to the hand store”. ❤

    Hi Barbara! 🤗
    Lately I have had no inspiration...passing my hobby table with a few started projects...glancing...turning away...😞 Blah!
    Then I thought about your video on children's books and I have a few of these from my local charity shop.
    So I looked up this video again! And now I'm full of ideas and excitement! Second afternoon and evening and I'm having so much fun!!! I'm just rolling!!!
    Just wanted you to know and thank you for your tutorials that give me so much joy and inspiration!
    God bless you in the name of Yeshua ha Mashiach! 🤗🕊️ Love, Lena

It's details and ideas like that which puts the added interest in a simple pocket. I never would have thought of that. Simply adorable. Keep 'em coming. Have a blessed day!😘❤

    Hello Barbara, what a wonderful haul of children's books. I gave ALL my son's books to a Charity many years ago, I can cry when I think of it.☹☹ OH Well, hopefully someone else is enjoying them. Back in the day I gave card making classes (for 10 years, until I got ill) so I never used them in card making. I just love what you did with them and am now going to look out for some more children's books. 😂😂 Thank you so much for always being so willing in sharing with us and for your wonderful delivery, it is so soothing and calming. Love this channel. See you again on Friday. Blessings and hugs. Diana 😃🦊🦊

    • @49dragonflies

    I absolutely love this Barbara!!! I have a ton of children's books. A thrift store we had gone in had 20 books for $1.00 someone donated a bunch of books and they had no place to store them...many were vintage, so we made quite the haul!! I just adore them 🥰💕🥰

    Such great ideas for children's books. Facebook Marketplace is a great resource for many items including books and craft supplies. Also, these wouldn't be vintage but Dollar store has children's books as well.
    I was watching videos and someone mentioned you can flatten the bumps from stitching paper by running your bone folder over them. And it was amazing the difference after. I thought u would share that tip since I've heard other crafter say they don't like that look.

    There is a library near me in the town of Freeport Pa. Their basement is enormous and is like a second library but everything in it is for sale. They sell the kids books for ten cents! And also the books like the big world atlases and big giant dictionaries also for ten cents, and also school text books for ten cents! All other books are 25 cents.
