Tina you amaze me. Etsy shop...all that computer work. Dying paper and etc. And then..often hear from you on youtube. Not to mention your family. Baking. Bike riding. Just WOW
I love Spring and Autumn. Summer means long long days and winter is short days. I love a crisp winter morning. At the moment it’s soggy outside and miserable and dark. The not so nice part of autumn! Love the way this is coming together. When I paint over the pages I like to leave a few words visible, a kind of experimental poetry is how I think of it! TFS 😊💕🌷
Like what you are doing, I must say that the pages where you can see a bit of the writing is quite nice and I would not want to cover all of the writing. Stay blessed and safe 🌷🦋
Love the way your journal is coming on. It is so inspiring and i am doing things i never would have thought of. Love your channel, plus the challenges between you, Barbara and Joie de Fi are fabulous. Can't wait to see the finished products. Thank you for all the hard work you must do to give us these inspiring tutorials. Blessings to you and the family.
Christmas is my favourite time, but I dislike all the snow we get here in Ontario Canada, but some snow is ok. Spring is great all the budding trees and the flowers coming up! Fall is beautiful with all the leaves changing the reds, browns, green and yellow are gorgeous. Summer is great because we get in lots of family visits and cottage time. Guess I don’t have a favourite season, I like them all! This is really taking shape, I am enjoying watching you put it together. Thanks for sharing.🇨🇦
Working out really well! I am working on my altered book along side of you and as you said earlier I had forgotten how much fun they are! Have a super day! Hug’s and blessings, 🤗❤️🇨🇦
Tina, this journal is looking really good. love 3 of the four seasons, I don’t like winter, not keen of dark nights and the cold, however I do love to see everyone’s Christmas outdoor decorations. If I had to choose one it would be Spring, I love to see everything growing and all the baby animals etc
Spring seems to be most people's favourite. I find it hard to choose, as there are things I love about all the seasons, even the winter! I love eating soups and having family meals in the dark evenings x
Hi Tina, this is turning out great. I always love your use of black lace. I never use black in anything. I can never make it quite fit in. When you use it, however, it ALWAYS looks awesome. I want to start an altered book so badly. I’m working on a journal for my Daughter-in-law for her birthday. I just finished a baby journal for her and my son. Any day now we will be leaving for Florida as she and my son are having their first baby. We live in Pennsylvania and they live in Florida. So our weather is changing and our Autumn days are in the 60’s and the nights are in the 40’s. Their weather is always warm. Their days now are in the Mid to high 80’s. So when we leave it will be a bit chilly and in 17 hours we’ll be perspiring for 2 weeks. Then back to colder weather. Like you I love all of the seasons. If I had to choose one, I think it would be the Spring. I love to see all the new growth and buds on the trees. it just feels like a whole new beginning of life. Hugs 🤗
Oh what an exciting time for your son and your daughter-in-law, and how wonderful that you are going to go over for a couple of weeks with them. I am sure they will appreciate the help, nothing more exhausting than your first baby. Spring is lovely and as you say it does create the most wonderful feeling of all the new growth, like a whole new beginning of life. X
Hi Tina, Your pages are looking absolutely gorgeous! I'm so looking forward to seeing your altered book completed, I can't wait lol! Looking forward to part 6! Best wishes, Hugs XX
New to your channel. Enjoy your projects and love your personality- feel very upbeat when watching. Will try some of your ideas and am motivated to create some pages of my own.
I keep forgetting to mention that I recently had the spine of a book become compromised. When I glued the fabric cover onto the book cover, I failed to glue the facing page into the center. This created a bubble on the very last page of my all altered hardback journal. I had to remove the entire last page and the mess underneath! This created a spine that was no longer 100% sturdy. So I used some Tyvek that I cut from a mailing envelope. I glued a strip of it over the spine. Now I have been using this method on the inside cover and facing pages, both front and back, to strengthen the spines of my books. ♥️
Yay, that's fantastic Laura. I am looking at the best time to upload my videos at the moment, they might have to get a bit earlier still. How does that work for you? x
That works for me because I am a night person. It still would be too early for people who live on the east coast. Just figure what is best for your schedule with the kids back in school. There still can be a good chance that schools will close again so that could change everything. We have way too many people not wearing masks and we are getting close to starting cough and cold season. Just be prepared. Stay safe❤❤❤
Good Morning Tina 🌞.. Your book is starting to take shape, My favorite seasons are Spring, Summer, and Fall, as I get older I don't really like the cold very much..Winter looks dreary to me, trees without leaves look sad...I like looking at the snow when it's falling after that, not so much... Spring has the smell of new life and the colors of the flowers just waking up..love it...The fall and all of its beautiful colors and the crisp air is just lovely.. Summer, I know it gets hot but, I really enjoy seeing people out and about barbecuing, picnics, family get togethers.( Hopefully, we will get back to that) so that is my take on the seasons, more than you wanted to know...lol🤭 I hope you have a great day and of course, I will see you at our next tea time 🤗
I struggle to pick a favourite season, there are such wonderful things with each. I know what you mean about winter, but I do love having winter warmer dinners when it’s dark and I do love Christmas too. See you for our next tea time x
Love the way this is turning out. I’ve just purchased some Readers Digest books to have a go at doing and altered book journal. Not sure what theme to do yet. I can’t decide which is my favourite season, as they all have good bits about them. Take care and stay safe xx
Looking good. I experimented with a book and I'm really struggling with it. I think I need a thicker book with slightly thinner pages. The one I'm using has thick pages and they are not pulling out as neatly as I want 😏. TFS 😊
Hi Tina Your pages are starting to look great, can’t wait to see finished look.. 🤗Yeah I think I wish I had your seasonal weather, here we only get maybe 5 weeks of cool weather an then it’s summer all over again. 😏I didn’t even get to wear my boots or leather jackets this year.. 😤Queensland, Australia...
Oh thank you Lala, I really like the painted effect, and it's slightly less bulky than adding papers. My son's apprenticeship is going really well, he's really learning a lot x
Quick question - have you found caps for the squeeze bottle you transferred your fabritac into? I'm following , or trying to!, and really enjoying this series. Thanks Mx
I'm doing a catch up Tina, n I can any time ,if it suits you better to change your time , then I'll just watch it at.my normal time at 6.15pm but I.am getting behind n that's ok ,I got more thinkers today , oh i mean my son bought home more like bout 6 different ones , so who's having more fun me or him lol , to be honest.i havnt been on it yet as he is cranking out enough that i don't need more atm , one day the new toy , he will get board of it , I hope lol x alanna
Thank you Alanna it's good to know that this time works ok for you as well. It's hard to keep up with everyone's videos isn't it? Hope you get a go soon, lol x
@@shabbydabbydoodah I'm laughing my head off , yes I will get ago at it soon but while he likes doing it I'll.let him go , it gives me pleasure in watching him doing it , n I don't have that many channels I.persist.on watching on regular basis 3 go too n obviously you are 1 of them , enjoy the altered book.iv seen many different ways that ppl do them n they all turn out great.x alanna
Tina you amaze me. Etsy shop...all that computer work. Dying paper and etc. And then..often hear from you on youtube. Not to mention your family. Baking. Bike riding. Just WOW
Lol, thank you so much........ I completely neglect my housework 😉 x
Summer is my favorite for sure. Love your work. Beautiful Autumn ephemera!

What a beautiful way to think of the text showing through, I love that x

I’ve never done an altered book.... now I absolutely have to!!! Thank you!!❤️
I'm enjoying watching what you're doing with your book. Thanks for the idea.
My favorite time of year is spring and fall

I thought you might like my tip for making your altered autumn journal.♥️
I am working along with you and finishing up decorating and embellishing my journal for a swap. Your videos are out before I go to bed. Good night😴

I know what you mean about not being able to pick a favourite season, they all have great aspects to them. Have fun with your altered book x
Really wish you had a FB page! Could show you my "clean" space! More than just eating places now!
i wish she had a fb group as well 😁
So sorry, I would love to see your space too. I will look into a FB group x
@@shabbydabbydoodah that would be 😍
Amy Shaffer you could show your clean space on YT, just do a short video, you don’t even have to talk.
lovely!!!
Hi 👋🏻 Tina, hope you’re doing great!🥰
Thank you Margie, I am doing well. I hope you are too x
Looking good. I experimented with a book and I'm really struggling with it. I think I need a thicker book with slightly thinner pages. The one I'm using has thick pages and they are not pulling out as neatly as I want 😏. TFS 😊
Definitely some books are better than others for using, you might be able to adapt it some way though. X
Spring x

Oh no, I couldn't imagine not getting to wear my boots and coats. I would really miss it. x
@@shabbydabbydoodah think I need to go somewhere cold..😊
Take care..
Exquisite Tina! I still think the house paint is genius 💓🐞😘🐝🤗🌻 How's your son's apprenticeship going?
Oh thank you Lala, I really like the painted effect, and it's slightly less bulky than adding papers. My son's apprenticeship is going really well, he's really learning a lot x
Quick question - have you found caps for the squeeze bottle you transferred your fabritac into? I'm following , or trying to!, and really enjoying this series. Thanks Mx
I was really lucky and was gifted some of the bottles and caps in happy mail, I haven't looked for them online yet x
I was shouting at the video, yes glue the word down, it looks nice lol. Xx
