    I would watch a 5 hour video of you taking us around your studio and showing us all of your supplies. I would enjoy seeing you open all your drawers and cabinets and flipping through all the things in them. I would relish hearing your stories about how you acquired some of those things, what you plan on doing with them, and even how long you've had them. And if that's not enough time to go through everything, I would watch a 5 hour part 2. You are pure delight.

      She is absolutely pure delight and she has ruined me for watching any other junk journal artist. I always think, "Well, she's definitely NOT Natasa!"

    Never apologise for "rambling"!! You are the perfect tutor because you explain everything in such a clear way and never assume people already know things. Some of us are learning from scratch and appreciate the time you take to show us what to do!

    Genius!! Your idea for getting the beads on the ribbon is just plain genius! Why didn’t I ever think of that. I love these beautiful little Christmas journals. They make such a good gift, rather than just a card. ❤

    I enjoy the rambling! And the simplicity, the added little extra touches, the ability you have to take something damaged and create it into beauty is a true gift and is amazing! Thank you for all the inspiration! I really love the fact that you show that you can do all this on a budget and don't need all the expensive tools many other people show online.

    • @BiteSizedCrafter

    Natasha you saved me. I am having 4 ladies for a crafting luncheon the first week in December and when I saw your idea I knew it was the perfect thing for the ladies to do. it is a lovely project I feel all of the ladies will enjoy. Thank you so much.

    @berthamiles6507 10 месяцев назад +6

    I can't tell you how much I appreciate your JOURNALs. I have never understood the "Junk Journal". I have always thought the paper and designs were beautiful......but they were all JUNK....there was absolutely no space for the Journal part. AND YOU have INCLUDED the journal part. THANK YOU!!!!! YOU ARE MY FAVORITE! They were beautiful.. Thank you for sharing. I was never inspired to create one because to me it was just JUNK.....a bunch of pretty stuff cramed together.....with no use. Now I am inspired to create one.

  • @MyDjturner
    @MyDjturner 2 года назад +1

    Lovely. This could be used for many types of cards. A lovely gift for someone in hospital, or going away for a short holiday, or even as a sympathy journal card. I'm sure these situations and more would be greatly appreciated receiving such a gift at this right time.

    I bought my husband an anniversary card early and it’s in my craft room waiting for December. I think I’ll do this with matching scrapbook papers inside and add photos of us throughout the years. Thanks so much for the idea! If I film it I’ll tag you! Thank you, Natasha! Love your ideas!

    I'm not a Christmas person at all, but this was so fun and inspiring that I've gotten all the materials and plan to make journal/Christmas cards for all three of my adult children and their families. This make the purpose of greeting cards so much greater. Thank you for all that you give to us all year long. You are marvelously talented.

    Oooo yay!! New video! Plus Christmas, I'm here with my coffee! ☕️ Let's go! Love your designs and ideas. 🎄
    Edit: I can confirm going through your thread whilst binding isn't good. I'm still new to junk journaling and it's frustrating when I place the needle through the thread. It works still but I don't think it gets as tight and it's messy looking.
    Last edit: LOVE the Christmas journals!!! Oh my goodness I now need to go and make some! I have some vintage cards that my dad received as a child back in the 60's and I never knew what to do with them. Now I have a plan. 😃 😊

    I’ve been watching your tutorials for awhile-it has become part of my Saturday morning routine that I look forward to. Your tutorials are easy to follow and your voice is easy to listen too. There are others on this platform that may have other excellent content like you but they are sooooooooo annoying to listen too I just can’t get into them. They are either laughing too much, or conStanley showing me their cute doggy (That’s nice, but I am not interested in how much you love your dog), or their voice just makes my ears bleed etc. your delivery is excellent and I could watch you and LEARN for hours. Thank you for giving me the gift of your knowledge and sharing your experience.
