  • Hello Beautiful Souls, I've had some worries, anxieties and some days alone; I didn't know what to do and James was away so I turned to my journal for answers. Fairy tales & fairy art surprisingly appeared to heal and help me problem-solve when life is hard. I had an important decision to make and this process truly helped! In this episode; Journal with me and we are starting a brand new sketchbook, a 21cm x 13 cm Moleskine. Thanks, as always for keeping me company on this wild journey called life! Biggest loves & softest hugs, Wendy. Xxx

Thank you for shining your light and sharing your clouds! Much love from Canada 🧡

    Happy Ostara, Wendy and James, and family and community! Great video. Love the new fairy! Thanks so much for sharing yourself, your thoughts, feelings, processes, materials and experiences - and bloopers! lol It means a lot that you trust us with that. And it helps me survey my world and think, "What is Wendy doing, that I wish I were doing, that I can dip my toe or dive into? What's stopping me, that I can get out of the way? What's my expression of it?" Whatever kind of moment or day you're having, please remember, you always make a fabulous fluttery difference in the world, from your community on outward. And we all love you for that. Looking forward to seeing the daybed in place. Namaste'.

    As always, you are an inspiration! Milwaukee's Mitchell Airport, in Wisconsin, USA has a "Recombobulation area" for travellers to regroup after going through security. My art journal is now a place where I can feel free to explore and be discombobulated, but also, is hopefully a personal Recombobulation area! Gentle hugs, love and light, and hopes that we each find our happy place.

    How strange, I too was struggling with a very emotional situation yesterday, which got me quite down, and I ended up crying myself to sleep. When I woke up I thought I needed to let this go, because it was so depressing, and not anything I could really change. So today, I will get into my art journal once more and of course, it's raining again here- all week, so I will have plenty of indoor time to get busy on my art projects. Thank you for all you give to my day, bright spirit, you make my day , and I know your vision has helped others too. Peace, 🐋🐳🐳🐳🐋🐋

Your fairies and especially your butterflies are stunning. I love butterflies so much, to me they always symbolize a new beginning. Have a wonderful week. 💜🦋🌻🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚

    Hello dear sweet Wendy. I am finally able to enjoy your video today, the day after Easter. I spent the day with my son, daughter-in-law, and all four of my grandchildren along with the oldest girlfriends. Church, breakfast, egg decorating, egg decorating and the best, blessed day.
    I love all your art works and I think your face drawings are beautiful. Your journal is coming along nicely.
    The poem and fairy 🧚‍♀️ was so beautifully written and made me feel happy. It made me realize that it gave me the feeling of HOPE.
    I’m enjoying a cuppa coffee while I enjoy you in your artistic studio. You’ve given me a different way of looking at my life in an unexpected way Wendy. I love your saying , “ The No Plan Plan Day”. It resonates a lot with me. Lately I seem to have many of those days. I think I need some fairy intervention myself.
    Thoroughly enjoyed your video today. It is so cold for the middle of April here in northern California that I’ve had to turn the heater on to get a bit warm.
    Can you tell me what you use to varnish your art pieces? I love the fairy in you journal so very much. Have a very blessed, happy, sunny week. Much love and softest hugs. 😘🤗🙏❤️💐💕🧚🏻☀️🧚‍♀️🧚🏻‍♂️🍀

    Dear Wendy, thank you for being my fairy messenger too today. I am learning such a lot about making art in a loving way… I think the way I’ve been making it has been quite bullying.

And you are so good at that with your nature walks! 🌿🚶‍♀️🌳 🚶‍♀️🌲⚘ this seems to be a universal remedy for most of us! I love your brilliant💫 idea of using the larger journal ( the pages-falling-out-one) as a sketch book only. I also have one of those journals and the idea will save a lot of frustration!🤪 So thank you for that! I have to admit my fondness for you dear Wendy only seems to grow with each video. 🤗💞 And a huge Thank You🥰 for keeping me company this morning with my cozy cuppa☕. I'm always a wee bit sad when the video comes to an end.😪 Oh, and I love the idea of writing oneself a love message from your Journal! Brilliant! 🤓And so very constructive!

Thank you! You are an inspiration, and my heart took a picture of the powerful image of the held hands which will be with me giving me strength when I sit there.. scared.. to start my new dream project.

    I love a new journal 😍. I have lots of sketchbooks/art journals, I use them for different themes to remind me to practice a variety of things. For example poses, faces, nature, patterns in nature, landscapes etc. I make most of them myself, it is really inspiring having a unique journal.
    I have recently been making a huge bunch of mini concertina journals which are for mini challenges and projects, they are so fun and really easy to make.
    I am currently enjoying a RUclips "draw with me" series (not mine, a channel i watch) and the mini concertina journals are brilliant for small challenges like that.

    Hi sweet Wendy🧚‍♂️You are just so kind and your words mean a great deal. I don’t think you realize how much you mean to so many of us. You and your art inspire me to create art by just enjoying it from the heart. You are my friend in my head! Lol I said before you are my little fairy friend! TFS💗☀️🌻🌷🧚‍♂️😊🐚gracie

    You have inspired me Wendy and I thank you for that. Today I have had so much fun starting an art journal and dabbling with watercolours and finding lovely quotes! I have dedicated my journal to finding inner joy! My hands are covered in ink and paint and I haven’t stopped smiling all day. 😊💚😊

    Ohhhhh! I love your fairy poem. I don't know what it is about it, it's just perfectly wonderful. My husband and I too decided to settle where we already live after considering a move. There's something very satisfying and grounding about it. I look forward to seeing what you do with your flat (hoping you show us) ;) Have a wonderful time.

    Hello Wendy! I recently got 2 new journals too. I use Paperblanks journals because they are so beautiful and come in many different sizes! One day I would like to fill an art journal/gluebook as big as your Moleskine journal! But recently I started an A5-sized one (I usually use A6) and found out it's a bit too intimidating for me just yet. So I put it aside and I will try again another time!

    Hello to both you and James. I appreciate how you work creatively through life. You are such a beautiful and inspirational person. Thank you for sharing your creative life.
    P.S. I also love, love the new studio! You'll soon have it just the way you want it.

    My book is calling me, Intentions! is a good idea. I like the idea of writing a page to myself from the journal, giving me permission to explore my creativity on its pages. It takes a lot for me to find the courage to start a new page, I don't know why that is...🤔 BUT, your videos get my creative juices flowing when I seem stuck. Thank you! 💜💋 Happy 🐇 Day, Wendy and James!

    I absolutely love your channel! I love the concept of journaling being a way of healing. I don’t usually comment, but I just wanted to post a warning that I saw on RUclips about this episode: RUclips posted this message next to this episode: They said
    “What did you think of this video?
    Help us improve RUclips.” Then there were 5 empty stars and “NOT SURE”
    Maybe you can’t put words like “anxious” etc. in the title. I don’t know why they put that message, but I just don’t want you to have any problems. I feel like you’re a friend and every time I watch your videos you encourage me. Thank you for that and for sharing so much if yourself and your life. I, too, was a teacher before. I’m retired now, but I really wish that teachers were more appreciated and valued!

    I love the idea of holding hands on our journey to learn to journal 📓 In my letter I shall write no need for perfection in drawing, the meaning and the way I feel is what matters. I love how you talk to fairies 🧚 just so lovely to take your mind to a happy place!❤️ so blessed to have found such an amazing channel. You are changing how I look at everything. What would Wendy write about if she was dealing with the situation I am? Write them down and turn the page to a blank slate!💖

Been a yr since I’ve crafted a Junque journal...but keep making/ cutting things to make... so many other things having to be done in the meantime...Could probably make a hundred and not run out of supplies...Lack of sleep and inspiration I suppose... along w/ pain...doesn’t help...wrestling w/ a decision or 2 as well...Your soothing voice is a comfort!!! Thank you so much!! 😻👩🏻‍🦰🙏💖

    I've had a leather-bound journal for a long time and couldn't decide what to do with it. Now I have a plan, thanks to you. It has very thick pages so I can glue (or tape) to my heart's content. And writhe, of course.

    James is right. it reminds me of one of my fave Christmas movies, "the Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey". He whittles and makes artfull treasures and when he's asked when it will be ready, he says " It'll be ready when it's ready ". lovely paintings and treasures! Happy Easter, spring solstice, SPRING!
