A warm welcome to my channel 🥰!! Details on Amity Bloom course, materials used etc. are in the description of this video 🥰 I hope this was helpful and inspiring for you in some way❤️❤️❤️ have a lovely weekend my friend ! Hugs, Francesca
What a beautiful journal and journey you took us on through each page of memories and special pieces of your life. When you showed your mom and then you put your photo by hers I just got tears in my eyes. So very, very lovely and inspiring Francesca!!!💕
Your Mom's nickname for you, "Rosebud", is so beautiful - as are you, and everything you create! Thank you for sharing the things and people you love and enjoy most, and those items that truly reflect you. You are inspiring! Hugs!!! 💗🤗
Che meraviglia hai creato!!! Attraverso la passione per la carta (e non solo!) la tua bellissima mamma vive in te! Il tempo è davvero poco purtroppo...guardo i tuoi stupendi lavori e non vedo l'ora di iniziarne uno. Dai che la scuola è quasi finita e non avrò più scuse per rimandare! Grazie per l'inspirazione continua!❤️
Some people write in journals. Some people draw and create art in journals. Some people create journals and leave a bit of themselves in their journals. That is the type of journal everyone wants to own. 🎨👏🥰Laura
I love your beautiful tactile grungy/elegant journal. It speaks of you and your joy. Love the sweet tribute to your precious Momma! I have experienced the same guilt and have neglected my play time lately. My energy level is low and I just don’t seem to get all the daily chores done. So I feel guilty spending time “playing with my art”. There are consequences of joyless chores. I must practice what you have. Such a priceless gift to yourself. 😍😍
Oh yes, i can relate !! For me it worked 1 hour on Sunday (Sunday is the day of the rest so I felt less guilty) and I razionalized 1 hour on 168 that a week have … it’s NOTHING and sometimes I waste an hour on my phone without realize it 😖 so repeating this in my head… helped a lot (I have done the same though with the gym thing, and it worked !) and when you have a little time, precise… you spend it in a very productive way because you know you have only THAT hour… so you don’t want to waste it… I hope this help !! ❤️❤️❤️
I love the presentation of this absolutely beautiful journal. The meaning of your name, your nickname Rosebud (so adorable!), the picture of your mamma and you is such a sweet way to share something so personal about you with everyone! Thank you for sharing. It really warmed my heart. 💗🌸🦋
awwww🥰 thank you so much!! I’m so HAPPY that you like it! I tried to comunicate something:) I’m glad that it’s arrived to you❤️ thank you for let me know!!
Your sweet smile at start of video made me SMILE too. Great, and touching shot of you! Thx for sharing that with us. Journal is simply WONDERFUL!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!! You did a fantastic job. I love each & every page! Obviously you put a lot of work,...and a lot of joy, into this journal. Glad you took time for yourself. I seldom put time into beautiful projects I keep for myself. I love to give things away. It's a good idea to stop and take time for ourselves! Enjoy your beautiful journal. Thx for video. Austin,TX USA
Thank you Barbara!!❤️ what a heart warmed and thoughtful comment!!❤️ thank you for sharing your thoughts!! I agree with all you said 🥰 hugs!! Francesca
Your crafting of this amazing journal made my heart smile - how really beautiful and meaningful. Thank you for sharing! Tears of joy actually ran down my face as you presented all the thought and love incorporated into your art. I focus on the good in life and finding your videos on RUclips for the first time is one of the magic spots in today for me. 💖
Hi Francesca! So nice to see your smiling face! What a beautiful photo of your mom. My approach when creating journals is that I'm making every one for myself. I use items that I love and mean something to me. That being said, some are more difficult to sell! I sold one that was a favorite and I'll never be able to create another one!! Hugs to you my dear friend.
Your journal is absolutely gorgeous and more so because of what it means to you. Thank you for sharing your creation and the meaning behind it. Blessings to you….and yes, you have inspired me to create a memory to my Mother….
Thank you for sharing this beautiful journal. I also purchased one of Nazi's classes last summer (the only one I ever have!), her Everyday Journal class. It was very well worth it!
I have that one too!! Well worth i agree with you !! And … I’ve done the cover 💪🏻 in 10 months 😀 maybe in 2023 I’ll post my result also for the EJ course !!🌟🥰💪🏻!! Thank you Cheryl !! Hugs!
Wow! This is an amazing, gorgeous , & inspirational piece of art! You have outdone yourself! Meraviglioso! Lo adoro! You look so much like your beautiful mom. Bellissimo omaggio! ❤️
Dear Francesca, I Adore and Appreciate every detail and moment of this... Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this inspiring experience... bless your kind heart and your beautiful soul 🤗🥰.
Ciao Francesca, complimenti per questo tuo lavoro, ci sorprendi sempre.....un junk journal ricco di sorprese, piccoli nascondigli dove riporre ricordi e spazi dove poter scrivere pensieri .C'è sempre un po' di magia in quel che fai e mi piace sempre guardare e ammirare i tuoi capolavori. Che altro dire? Sinceramente brava e grazie.
So beautiful, you can really tell you've put a lot of time, energy, love and patience into your Journal. Everything is just gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing with us. ❤️🤗
Hello lovely, so sweet to see your beautiful face and your magical journal ! XXX Thos little voices that tell us we are wasiting time and supplies and all that if we create for ourselves are so real, I am glad you pushed through and created this stunning beauty for yourself you truly deserve it ! XXX
This is just amazing hun, your mom and you are so alike and the journal is just stunning I'm sure your mom's legacy will forever live on in thus beautiful keepsake, stunning x
Many times I feel guilty when I sit down and create something that makes me happy because it seems to me as if I take away time from my daughter ,who is 'special' and needs my care...I love Nazi's joy for life and her attitude to life...I love your journal, Francesca and your effort to be positive and to transmit positivity,thank you❣🌹
Gorgeous journal! Love all the wonderful details you added and what special meanings they have to you. My favorite is your Mom's photograph and all the vintage ephemera. So inspiring always! TFS HUGS :)
AAAAAAAW * Rosebud- that's really cute! Francesca, your picture yesterday did not promise too much- you created a beautiful journal and I enjoyed watching every second of your video! The connections to your mom through dresses, etc are heartwarming ♡ Creating for yourself is never wasted time- and you just proved it :D
Lol I thank the picture was beautiful 😀 LOL LOL LOL !! Thank you so much Juliane!! I’m glad that you like the meaning behind ❤️🥰🙏🏻 and thank you for your kind words !! 😃❤️ hugs !!
What a great idea to set aside time to create for yourself 👍 absolutely gorgeous journal 😍 thanks for sharing your talent (and your lovely smile) with us 🌷
Ciao Francesca finalmente vedo il tuo viso, non ti avevo mai vista in volto ho sempre sentito la tua voce...... i tuoi lavori sono meravigliosi complimenti ancora per questo ultimo. Con questo commento colgo l'occasione di ringraziarti ancora per i tanti suggerimenti che ci hai dato in passato, un abbraccio continua sempre così sei mitica, buon lavoro.
Beautiful and inspiring. I am working on my Amity Bloom journal now, and about half to 2/3 done. Thank you for sharing. Many of your pages took my breath away.
Assolutamente meraviglioso!! Rimango ogni volta incantata dalle tue creazioni. Credo che con questa tu abbia superato te stessa! Ribadisco ciò che ti ho detto in po' di tempo fa : sei mitica!! 😍😘
I really enjoyed seeing your Journal it is Gorgeous, so much hard work. You look just like your mom😁, She is Beautiful! Can’t wait to see more from you.
I LOVE your journal. It is so beautiful. But the most I love your story. I really do recognize the fact to feel guilty for taking time for yourself. It feels you can take time when everything, including the kids, it’s done. But it’s never done. Actually it’s the other way around. You have to reload yourself, to get everything done. Reloading by creating for us! I know the facts, … but I’m still learning too. 😅. Keep on going, you’re doing great !! 😘
Thank you so much for sharing with me your thoughts 🥰❤️!! And I’m glad that it’s relatable (I’m not the only one!!) thank you for your encouragement ❤️🥰🙏🏻 hugs, Francesca
Love how your journal turned out. I made one and gave it away. I need to make one for me! Thank you for sharing you journey narrative in creating this special journal.
Grazie Antonio !! Dovevo anche parlare, ma… a parte l’inglese sbilenco… ho perso l’abitudine e mi vergogno 😅😂!! Quindi niente, video muti e fa lo stesso !! Una abbraccio!!
Oh my goodness Francesca, this is so gorgeous. Thanks you for sharing a piece of yourself. I’ve been working on a journal for myself and it’s taking forever! Thank you for inspiring me to keep working in it.
This journal is the most amazing personal journals I ever saw😍😍😍 You realy resemble your pretty mom🥰 Love all the papers, embossed parts and gorgeous laces and fabrics. This is a real masterpiece for yourself Francesca❤️❤️ Realy good you made something for yourself just one hour every Sunday. Warm greetings from the Netherlands Maia😘
This journal is absolutely beautiful. I loved all the textures and layers. I also loved the upside down paper and the unfinished pocket... it reminds me that I'm going to be just fine. Haha. 😘
Absolutely!🥰 the “imperfections” are the things that makes a junk journal unique and even more personal ☺️🙌🏻 thank you for watching and commenting ❤️!! Hugs, Francesca
This is sooo beautiful!!! it got me thinking for the first time ever to buy a online course. Love it so much and your story is so familiar also. big hugs!
I am so going to do this for myself I always tell myself I don’t have time to create for me as I’m always too busy. I am too going to take out one hour a week for my journal thank you for the inspiration x
Wow wow wow, an amazing and gorgeous journal, I truly love everything about it 💖. You deserve such a beautiful journal for yourself. I can relate to what you are saying, only for me it is not the case (yet). I haven't sold a journal ( I would like to) and I don't know anybody who I can gift one, so at the moment I'm only creating for my self 😍. But I know if you are selling and gifting journals, that it is hard to make one for yourself. Will you be journaling in this journal? Have a great weekend !!
Yes, what I’m saying is: I feel guilty if I spend time on a thing that does not lead to “something useful” especially because right now I don’t have a “real” job, so everything that it isn’t relate on make money or make myself worth for something, it sounds to my mind as a waste of time. (Like go to gym also, add make up or dress something beautiful, not only create something) So I know it’s good take time just for me, but it’s hard practice it. Fortunately not everyone are like me, LOL but I know many people are, so I hope it can help somehow that kind of persons 🌟 I’ll journaling about creative things in this one 🌟 hugs!
I needed to watch this today. When I create something that is not a gift (I do not sell my creations), it ends up on my craft room shelf so it will continue to be loved. But the immediate thought is: What happens when there are twenty such items, and worse, what happens when relatives find them after I am gone and don't want to keep them but cannot toss them out? I have discovered a solution (from a comment on another channel). Any items I create can go to a patient in a hospital. To cheer them. To console them. To make them smile. To write down their thoughts (or not). I feel at peace with my personal creativity time now knowing that each completed project is desired and will be loved somewhere, even if I never meet that someone.
this is an amazing idea!! thank you for sharing! I had a lot of thoughts about the same thing, for example “the gentle art of death cleaning” (google it, it’s interesting… but a little …sad?) or that when I’ll dead… I’ll dead so I will not see what will happen to my beloved craft things 🤔 so yes, think about gift those things BEFORE for some people that need them … in hospital, of course!! my mom was a teacher in the hospital for children with illness and she used to craft with them 🤍 so yeah, your comment is not a coincidence!! of course, donation for these patients!! thank so much for sharing Ann!! ☺️🤍🙏🏻
Ciao cara Francesca, questa volta farò i complimenti per prima a tua mamma che ti ha ispirata così tanto, (tra l'altro l'avevo riconosciuta prima ancora che ne parlassi) poi ovviamente a Te ,per aver condiviso il tuo personale junk journal che è un mega concentrato di Te e di ciò che con i tuoi bellissimi e attesissimi video ci hai insegnato. Pensa che mio padre e i miei nonni erano di Padova dove Io passavo le mie tristi vacanze natalizie, ma questa è un'altra storia. Ero chissà perché convinta che fossi piemontese mah! IO sono nata a Trieste, ma vivo un po' in provincia di Milano, anche se sono tutte le settimane a Milano dove vive la mia famiglia e poi vivo sul lago Maggiore a Ispra. Ho voluto anch'io raccontarti qualcosa di Me ! Mi ha fatto anche piacere vedere il tuo viso,perché per Me è un pochino come quando ci si manda tanti messaggi di rito ,ma ogni tanto è importante anche fare una telefonata e sentire la voce. Ti auguro una serena settimana e a presto...
Ciao Ondina, grazie 🌟 io sono di Mantova, ho studiato a Padova, vivo a Treviso e a breve tornerò a vivere in Piemonte 🌟 grazie mille per aver speso del tempo a scrivere questo commento 🥰 mi fa molto piacere !! Un abbraccio!
Wow! This is such a beautiful work of art 🎨 It looks so delicate. I can tell this took so much time and dedication to finish but I am proud of you for being able to stick with your compromise to yourself. I even loved the upside down page 😄 Super inspiring Francesca :)
Yes the upside down page 😀😂🤦🏻♀️😆 thank you !!! Yes, it took time, I fight with my thoughts… but in the end I have my big BIG BIIIGGG journal all for me 😍🥰 thank you darling !! Hugs!!
I have also take the EJ and I can tell you that you if had love that one, you’ll love this one too!! 🥰🙌🏻 (I’ve done only the cover, probably I’ll finish that one in 2023 😀 lol 💪🏻
@@JunkJournalJoy May I ask what you particularly liked or found useful about this course please? That would help me to decide... much appreciated. Thanks so much. Yvonne
@@justimaginejournals-yvonne7760 for the practical things: the double binding method (best I ever tried), the concept of a deconstructed journal, the basic of layering… then for the meaningful part: how to put your soul in the journal and how to create a journal with a purpose that “speaks to you” 🌟 I hope it’s helpful
I love 💕 this so much because I have a wish to make a similar journal about my mother and I. I’m tremendously inspired. I have old letters that she wrote to her mother and father. Also, I have a number that pops up in my life often. It’s 143. I can randomly look at the time and there it is. A total in a receipt. Not sure of it’s meaning but must include it in my journal as well. Wish me luck 🍀. You are the best I’ve seen to date.
thank you Lisa! I believe that when we see this numbers it’s a sign of “we are on the right way” or “we are not alone in the Universe” something like that! thank you for sharing your experience:) hugs, Francesca
Yes the/your journal is stunningly beautiful, however, what do you do with it when finished? I my sound ignorant and I truly would love to know. Thank you for sharing I enjoy watching👀 your videos.
Thank you Brenda! 🌟 for example I use my journals in this way: ruclips.net/video/a28EjK_GMBE/видео.html let me know what you think if you will watch it ☺️! Hugs, Francesca
Grazie !! In pratica è pieno di simboli e immagini che sono legati a mia mamma, alla mia famiglia, a me, al mio compagno. soprattutto alla mia mamma perché lei era una maestra per i bambini malati all’ospedale del mio paese e li faceva creare con la carta 🌟 quindi questo journal e’ rappresenta la continuità tra me e lei (ogni volta che io creo qualcosa, e lo pubblico ad esempio qui sul canale RUclips… e’ come se l’eredità di mia mamma arrivasse anche a chi guarda🌟) e quindi lei è QUI anche se non è qui. Insomma c’è un filo che ci lega tutti. Ma poi guarda, potrei parlare per ore di questo libro, perché per ogni pagina ho un aneddoto 🥰 e’ pieno di storie !! Nel video spiego che ho impiegato 11 mesi a completarlo perché essendo per me, mi sembrava una perdita di tempo (tempo consumato a non lavorare, diciamo) e mi sentivo in colpa. Allora mi sono imposta di lavorarci un’ora alla settimana di domenica. E alla fine, l’ho finito !! Ed è stata una esperienza catartica che mi ha portato ad averlo un piccolo “portale”sotto forma di libro (non so se mi spiego 😀) grazie !!! Quindi lo racconto per incoraggiare gli altri a prendersi del tempo per se stessi come ho fatto io, ecco ☺️
A warm welcome to my channel 🥰!! Details on Amity Bloom course, materials used etc. are in the description of this video 🥰 I hope this was helpful and inspiring for you in some way❤️❤️❤️ have a lovely weekend my friend ! Hugs, Francesca

This journal is absolutely beautiful. I loved all the textures and layers.
I also loved the upside down paper and the unfinished pocket... it reminds me that I'm going to be just fine. Haha. 😘

That’s great Karen !! Enjoy your sacred hour ❤️ !!! Hugs ! Francesca
Beautiful journal. Thanks for sharing 💗
Thank you Theresa❤️🥰
Wow wow wow, an amazing and gorgeous journal, I truly love everything about it 💖. You deserve such a beautiful journal for yourself. I can relate to what you are saying, only for me it is not the case (yet). I haven't sold a journal ( I would like to) and I don't know anybody who I can gift one, so at the moment I'm only creating for my self 😍. But I know if you are selling and gifting journals, that it is hard to make one for yourself. Will you be journaling in this journal? Have a great weekend !!
Yes, what I’m saying is: I feel guilty if I spend time on a thing that does not lead to “something useful” especially because right now I don’t have a “real” job, so everything that it isn’t relate on make money or make myself worth for something, it sounds to my mind as a waste of time. (Like go to gym also, add make up or dress something beautiful, not only create something) So I know it’s good take time just for me, but it’s hard practice it. Fortunately not everyone are like me, LOL but I know many people are, so I hope it can help somehow that kind of persons 🌟 I’ll journaling about creative things in this one 🌟 hugs!
Beautiful Francis...its inspiring thanks xx
Thank you so much !!!❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful video, thank you very much! (Bellissimo video, grazie mille!)
Grazie Miriam 😃❤️
Francesca…exquisite as always ❤
thank you so much Lori🙂🙂🙂
Same girl. Same. I am in the same boat but promised myself to make time daily!
You can do it 🙌🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻!!
Love this, so beautiful.
Thank you Cheryl 🥰🙏🏻
I needed to watch this today. When I create something that is not a gift (I do not sell my creations), it ends up on my craft room shelf so it will continue to be loved. But the immediate thought is: What happens when there are twenty such items, and worse, what happens when relatives find them after I am gone and don't want to keep them but cannot toss them out? I have discovered a solution (from a comment on another channel). Any items I create can go to a patient in a hospital. To cheer them. To console them. To make them smile. To write down their thoughts (or not). I feel at peace with my personal creativity time now knowing that each completed project is desired and will be loved somewhere, even if I never meet that someone.
this is an amazing idea!! thank you for sharing! I had a lot of thoughts about the same thing, for example “the gentle art of death cleaning” (google it, it’s interesting… but a little …sad?) or that when I’ll dead… I’ll dead so I will not see what will happen to my beloved craft things 🤔 so yes, think about gift those things BEFORE for some people that need them … in hospital, of course!!
my mom was a teacher in the hospital for children with illness and she used to craft with them 🤍 so yeah, your comment is not a coincidence!!
of course, donation for these patients!!
thank so much for sharing Ann!! ☺️🤍🙏🏻
@@JunkJournalJoy (✿◠‿◠) 😘😘

So Ruby is cool I guess 😎 LOL 😂 I’m joking!! Thank you Karina ❤️
@@JunkJournalJoy haha yes she is very cool 😎
Ciao cara Francesca, questa volta farò i complimenti per prima a tua mamma che ti ha ispirata così tanto, (tra l'altro l'avevo riconosciuta prima ancora che ne parlassi) poi ovviamente a Te ,per aver condiviso il tuo personale junk journal che è un mega concentrato di Te e di ciò che con i tuoi bellissimi e attesissimi video ci hai insegnato. Pensa che mio padre e i miei nonni erano di Padova dove Io passavo le mie tristi vacanze natalizie, ma questa è un'altra storia. Ero chissà perché convinta che fossi piemontese mah! IO sono nata a Trieste, ma vivo un po' in provincia di Milano, anche se sono tutte le settimane a Milano dove vive la mia famiglia e poi vivo sul lago Maggiore a Ispra. Ho voluto anch'io raccontarti qualcosa di Me ! Mi ha fatto anche piacere vedere il tuo viso,perché per Me è un pochino come quando ci si manda tanti messaggi di rito ,ma ogni tanto è importante anche fare una telefonata e sentire la voce. Ti auguro una serena settimana e a presto...
Ciao Ondina, grazie 🌟 io sono di Mantova, ho studiato a Padova, vivo a Treviso e a breve tornerò a vivere in Piemonte 🌟 grazie mille per aver speso del tempo a scrivere questo commento 🥰 mi fa molto piacere !! Un abbraccio!
Wow! This is such a beautiful work of art 🎨 It looks so delicate. I can tell this took so much time and dedication to finish but I am proud of you for being able to stick with your compromise to yourself. I even loved the upside down page 😄 Super inspiring Francesca :)
Yes the upside down page 😀😂🤦🏻♀️😆 thank you !!! Yes, it took time, I fight with my thoughts… but in the end I have my big BIG BIIIGGG journal all for me 😍🥰 thank you darling !! Hugs!!
Just gorgeous. Love this. I'm doing her Everyday Journal course and have been thinking about doing this one. Yvonne
I have also take the EJ and I can tell you that you if had love that one, you’ll love this one too!! 🥰🙌🏻 (I’ve done only the cover, probably I’ll finish that one in 2023 😀 lol 💪🏻
@@JunkJournalJoy May I ask what you particularly liked or found useful about this course please? That would help me to decide... much appreciated. Thanks so much. Yvonne
@@justimaginejournals-yvonne7760 for the practical things: the double binding method (best I ever tried), the concept of a deconstructed journal, the basic of layering… then for the meaningful part: how to put your soul in the journal and how to create a journal with a purpose that “speaks to you” 🌟 I hope it’s helpful
@@JunkJournalJoy That is fabulous thank you and so helpful. I really appreciate you taking the time to share that with me. Happy creating. Yvonne
@@justimaginejournals-yvonne7760 thank YOU to be here ! 🥰
So so beautiful ❤️
Thank you Shell ❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely GORG
Thank you Sona❤️❤️❤️!!
I love 💕 this so much because I have a wish to make a similar journal about my mother and I. I’m tremendously inspired. I have old letters that she wrote to her mother and father.
Also, I have a number that pops up in my life often. It’s 143. I can randomly look at the time and there it is. A total in a receipt. Not sure of it’s meaning but must include it in my journal as well. Wish me luck 🍀.
You are the best I’ve seen to date.
thank you Lisa! I believe that when we see this numbers it’s a sign of “we are on the right way” or “we are not alone in the Universe” something like that! thank you for sharing your experience:) hugs, Francesca
Absolutely beautiful 😍 ❤ ♥
Thank you Fatima 🌟🥰

Thank you Sheila❤️❤️❤️
Gorgeous x
Thank you Sharon ❤️☺️
Wow! You live in a beautiful place. I am in Toronto Ontario 😇☺️
Oh isn’t it beautiful Toronto too? 😃❤️ thank you !!🥰
Yes the/your journal is stunningly beautiful, however, what do you do with it when finished? I my sound ignorant and I truly would love to know. Thank you for sharing I enjoy watching👀 your videos.
Thank you Brenda! 🌟 for example I use my journals in this way: ruclips.net/video/a28EjK_GMBE/видео.html let me know what you think if you will watch it ☺️! Hugs, Francesca
Thank you
È bellissimo 🤩. Mi sembra di aver capito che è dedicato alla tua mamma? Con l inglese ci acchiappo poco☺️♥️
Grazie !! In pratica è pieno di simboli e immagini che sono legati a mia mamma, alla mia famiglia, a me, al mio compagno. soprattutto alla mia mamma perché lei era una maestra per i bambini malati all’ospedale del mio paese e li faceva creare con la carta 🌟 quindi questo journal e’ rappresenta la continuità tra me e lei (ogni volta che io creo qualcosa, e lo pubblico ad esempio qui sul canale RUclips… e’ come se l’eredità di mia mamma arrivasse anche a chi guarda🌟) e quindi lei è QUI anche se non è qui. Insomma c’è un filo che ci lega tutti. Ma poi guarda, potrei parlare per ore di questo libro, perché per ogni pagina ho un aneddoto 🥰 e’ pieno di storie !! Nel video spiego che ho impiegato 11 mesi a completarlo perché essendo per me, mi sembrava una perdita di tempo (tempo consumato a non lavorare, diciamo) e mi sentivo in colpa. Allora mi sono imposta di lavorarci un’ora alla settimana di domenica. E alla fine, l’ho finito !! Ed è stata una esperienza catartica che mi ha portato ad averlo un piccolo “portale”sotto forma di libro (non so se mi spiego 😀) grazie !!! Quindi lo racconto per incoraggiare gli altri a prendersi del tempo per se stessi come ho fatto io, ecco ☺️
@@JunkJournalJoy è bellissimo quello k hai detto. Hai fatto un lavoro meraviglioso e mi hai commosso 🌹
