[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you very much, Karin, I am glad you liked it! 🥰

[@zhianne9425]

That is a lovely journal!
I dont know how you can make random lines and shapes so pretty in the end. That would make me feel like I wouldn't be able to beautify it enough.
And yes, Im so excited for spring! it's as beautiful as autumn.
I think Im timed the end of my vacation well to see the best of it

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you so much Zhianne, yes you will be arriving at the best time, winter will be on it's way out, although most of next week it looks like it will be raining, argh! 🥰🥰

[@mariacheung647]

This has turned out beautifully! Thank you Kari.
Im really looking forward to Spring, but really not looking forward to the hay-fever season though 😅

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you so much Maria, oh yes, the tree pollen early in the season and then something else later in summer gets me every year. Still, I love the warmer weather and all the plants! 💗💗

[@elainet5870]

Fun book! Yes, I’d love to see you work in some of the pages! 😃💙

This is super fun 😊 I also love wedge wood blue. Yes, please share as you go along. I would love to see what you do. Hello to Ms Mable 🐈‍⬛ 🩷

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Lisa, OK, I will share what I do in it, Miss Mabel says hi back! 💗💗

[@ChattylaineCreates]

Very cute journal it made too... I call it a meander book but now you've glued the ends together it doesn't do that now ha ha... But I loved the blues and yellows... Adding the marks just added so much more to it... Have fun playing in it, will you do a flip through if you don't show us when you work in it? 😁💛💙
I say roll on spring hate this up and down weather we have right now... Happy Mothers Day tomorrow xx

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Elaine - oh yes, a meander book, but yeah, mine no longer meanders, even though I do, heheh. I will indeed do a flip through once I have finished it, which won't take long as it is small enough. Happy Mother's Day! 💗💗

[@loveforpaper6203]

Oh I love this ! Thanks so much for sharing! Your very creative and I love your videos

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you very much, I always have more ideas than I have time, LOL! 🥰🥰

[@DottyDelightful]

Ahhh I love that my nature journal inspired you to make one of your own too, it was wonderful to watch you create it, I love the cover.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Ruby, I love your journal too much to ruin it, at least I can mess up my own one instead now! 💗

[@TheCrabbyCrafterlol]

Can't believe you're already in to spring, it's very much still winter here (despite the lack of snow, it's sooooo cold, unless it's nearly 60, ugh what a weird non-wintery winter we've had). I love that brilliant little book you're taking inspiration from. But it seems such a waste of her creation for people not to use ever. She'd be bummed, lol. But I totally get it. Maybe adding little photos (do you have a mini printer?) the two can be companion journals. I love that giant pad of paper, what a great pad of possibilities 🤓 Hugs to Miss Mabes from Bits n me 🐾💜

[@KariGibsonArt]

Yes, Ker, there are early signs of spring here, a few buds etc appearing on trees, but the weather is dreary, I really would like some of those sunny, spring days soon! I think that is a great idea about the nature journal, yes, I can work on both together! Funnily enough, I was thinking of adding photos, I don't have a mini printer, but I can easily print out mini photos on my Eco Tank. Hugs back to you and Bitsy from me and Miss Mabel! 💗💗

[@MonicaGarciadivinelight]

Love this! I want to make one now 😊

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Monica, oh yes, you must make one as well! 💗💗

[@purplejanew]
