My name is Toni, I have been paper crafting literally as long as I can remember. Paper crafts have a unique way of touching people. I have been amazed by how many people have saved, displayed or reminisced about the hand made cards and gifts I have given them, sometimes decades later!
I have met so many wonderful women who share my love of all things paper. In a day and age of digital communication, I find so many people are returning to the tangible art of paper communication. Maybe it’s putting a pen to paper for planning, finding an outlet for their creativity through journalling, or memory keeping in a scrapbook. Regardless of the media, there is a beautiful community of artists I am proud to be a part of.

ALTERED BOOK! Daphne's Diary Junk Journal - USE YOUR SCRAPS
What gorgeous albums!! I spy a lovely 🐝. Thank you for inspiring me to create my very first "December Daily". ❤
What a good eye you have!!! You’re in the album too!
Love this!! Thanks so much for sharing....your books are all amazing!!
Hey hun, love all your albums!! Thanks for sharing. I've never made a December daily before always wanted to but never got around to it... but so wish I made one with the last xmas I had with my mom... miss her Everyday!!! Hugs, Robyn ❤
Awe thanks Robyn! So nice to see you back here on my channel! You know what you just made me realize, I started this after my mom passed away too. You’re right it would have been nice to have her in my albums. 😢
Wow. That was so fun. Loved seeing all the different albums you have made. It was cool to see how your style has evolved over the years. I definitely love the pink, aqua Christmas colours and the retro vibe for Christmas. I don’t like traditional red and dark green at all. Hard to believe we have been pals for almost a year now. Happy Friendaversary ❤😂
Time flies! Happy friendaversary! Hope the Canada Post strike is over soon so we can get out our Christmas mail!
Love your hair 😍😍 I said I wasn’t gonna do it this year but I think. I will after all haha it’ll be my 11th year! Great albums 👏🏻
This is my 11th year too! AND two years since I stopped colouring my hair, it was a tough at first, but worth letting it grow out.
Wow 10 years !! Great stuff and memories...Tyfs 💜🦋
I can’t believe it’s been that long! TYFW!
@polkadotmailbox i am going to fo this next year I'm interested in seeing my creative side as well as my daily life yours looks so fun
Beautiful!!!!!❤️
Thanks, I am so glad you like it! 😊
This is one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever seen!!! Absolutely stunning!
Wow that is such an amazing compliment I appreciate it! I just posted another video showing a decade of December dailies!
So beautiful. I subscribed to your channel. Will love to see the work you do with these items and watching you do junk journaling.
Welcome Beth!!! ❤ Thank you for subscribing and your kind words!
So beautiful. I subscribed to your channel. Will love to see the work you do with these items and watching you do junk journaling.
I’m so glad you like it! Junk journaling is my new favourite paper craft!
love your album and tips. Trying to make one in advance and hopefully will be then easy to fill up with photo and minimum of journaling
This turned out fantastic!
Thanks! I just posted the other 10 DD I made!
Love your 2023 album!! The flip books are actually pretty neat and the spine opens up to as large as you want, definitely different than a binder though.
love your album! I agree about Vicki's colors in her designs. I do not like the blacks and all the bold color combos. some just don't even jive. Can't wait to see what you do with this years line you chose~
Thanks, glad to hear I’m not the only one who finds her colours too bold!
I absolutely love this!!! I hate to ask but what is a dirty santa
Haha, it’s a gift exchange, but the dirty part is that you can steal other people’s gifts.
@@polkadotmailbox I am 56 years old and never heard it called that!!!! We called those white elephant exchanges. no one knew what was in the gift they had until everyone opened them, then the stealing began!!! They were always loads of fun. So many laughs.
This is a wonderful album, well done! I am considering doing a DD this year - I just have so many projects going on but I do love these. Thanks for sharing... Hugs, Gale The Happy Stamper :)
Thanks, Gale! I it is a commitment for sure, I work at it through the whole year, with the envelope system it really is broken down into a more manageable project.
beautiful! I wasn't expecting anything less! Thanks for sharing your talent and explaining your process!!
I am so glad you liked it! 😊 Thanks for reminding me to film this, seems like a popular topic! ❤
@@polkadotmailbox No problem! I'm not the only one that looks forward to seeing what you come up with!! Thanks!
Love your 2023 December Daily. ❤ can’t wait to see what you come up with this year 😊
Thanks! I already have some fun ideas!
I love how you combined the Mintay collection and the Simple Stories “B” side. I’m looking forward to seeing what you create
Thank you so much! I’ve solved my binder problem too! Things are looking up.
Beautiful! TFS ❤
Thank you!!❤
Underrated
The paper doll reminds me of when I was little and my mom used to get McCalls magazine. There was always a paper doll in it. My sister and I loved paper dolls ❤
I loved paper dolls too, maybe that is where our love of paper began!
Wow good stuff tyfs 💜🦋 looking forward to what you make next 😊
Thank you! 😊
Hey Beautiful Toni! I’m sorry some of the products are inferior. That’s not like FFF. I thought the cookbook holder would be so nice. You really pick tons of add ons. Great gifts for sure.
Thanks Mary Catherine, you're not kidding I get a lot of add-ons, and this is just my first winter box, two more on the way still!
A tip on the belt, buy small round black colored velcro and use that to hold back the flipping out.
Thanks Jackie I managed to find a solution! I used black rainbow loom bands from my kid's stash!
You look like you are ready to go out and shovel snow !!!! I just got my box today ..... when I put on some makeup I will do a video....Annie Lou
Oh yay!!! I will watch, I’d love to see your unboxing!❤
I decided to get the necklace in my seasonal rather than the scarf. It looks nice!
Good choice! It’s very nice!
Hi Toni, nice choicrs! We both chose the diffusers and whipped body soap. My whipped body soap is almost gone. I love it so much. I’m hoping maybe it will be an add-on next season. I love the socks and wooden spoons too. TFS
Thank you for your honesty in reviewing the products! It really helps when I’m trying to narrow down the list of choices! I agree that the belt & book stand don’t seem worth their retail value.
Some other people had good success with their book stand. Maybe I was just unlucky. As for the belt I wonder if I would have been better off with the small/medium
The belt is cute, you just needed to size down.❤
I wonder if that would have worked! I think you might be right.
Cute bento box but also love the scents and everything else 😅 tyfs 💜 🦋
Love the bento box and measuring spoons. Soooo cute. ❤ can’t go wrong with pumpkin spice 😊😊
❤ don't forget you could add a belt holder (order online or a hair band). Hopefully there will be no other disappointing products
I was thinking that or even some double sided tape!
I love your unboxings! You give really thoughtful and informative descriptions. ❤️
Thank you so much!
I’m glad you modeled everything. I was thinking of adding a seasonal to get the scarf and hat, but now I’m not sure I want them.
Great! I agree sometimes it’s nice to be able to see everything in action! ❤
I swear FabFitFun got all the misfit products in the box this season
Great unboxing! Sorry about the belt. Maybe put a little clear rubber band to hold the belt in place. 😊
Thanks for the tip! I’m getting so many good suggestions, it’s making me feel better about the belt!
Great unboxing! How are you liking the skinfix. I’m adding another one to my seasonal and I might get the bracelet. Have you tried the shampoo and conditioner?
Just tried both tonight so far, I’m enjoying the skin fix and olaplex. Hard to know for sure with one use but my hair and face feel soft!!!❤
@ yes it’s true. I’m going back and forth on the skinfix and the shampoo and conditioner
I can’t decide if I want to get the beanie for my daughter or not. She is really picky and that extra material at tge top might bother her. I am getting her the Dibs gloss and the bracelet.
My 12 year old spied the hat and already claimed it as her own, she loves it. She is already wearing it. It was my 18 year old that I thought might want the hat, she gave it one look in passing and wasn't interested and she was the one I thought might want it! You just never know, but if your daughter didn't use it, you could always keep it for yourself!
Do you hand wash those colorful glasses or put them in the dishwasher?
I put them in the dishwasher!
I love your shirt! And hair colour ❤ I’m happy I didn’t get belt, someone mentioned it didn’t have a loop and I knew it was a deal breaker.
Thanks the top is new from Old Navy, I love how it matched the box!
I do like that Hunter hat on you- it is youthful like you! That blouse is really cute too. Love your videos and always look forward to them. The way you organize/catalog the seasonal choices is Fab!😊 Beth I had to do an edit...After seeing the jewelry on you, I may start to try some of the jewelry by these companies as well ( I always worry about quality) but your bracelets look like they are quality and look great together!!
Thanks Beth, my 12 year old already claimed the hunter hat! This is why I get so many items in the box, or boxes. I was never a jewelry person before FFF, I don't even wear my wedding ring lol! I don't take jewelry on and off, I just leave it on ( with the exception the ring and two of those bracelets, now, I just leave the paper clip one on to sleep) otherwise the quality is so good, they never tarnish or anything! They survive through work/sleep/showers/fitness.
I don’t think the belt would stick out quite as far if you fed it through the other side of the belt buckle…you skipped that part and it would flatten it a bit.
Oh tell me more! I put it through the one closest loop, it wouldn't reach the other one. On other viewer suggested I could tuck it into the belt itself, that worked. I almost wonder if the size s/m would have been better!
@@polkadotmailbox So, in the video, you put the end of the belt through the end of the belt buckle, you inserted the prong in the hole, then you skipped over looping it through the back side of the belt buckle and you just put it through the belt loop on your pants. If you put the end through the back of the belt buckle, then through your belt loop, it will lay more flat. I hope that helps. It does look like you could have gone down a size though - that would also help. I wonder if fff would exchange it for a smaller size? That other recommendation was good as well. I’ve done that myself with belts that were too big after losing weight.
@@polkadotmailbox Yes, I think it would help to loop it through the other side of the buckle! I've had similar belts and I'll use a small hair tie or a clear rubber band, as someone else suggested. Still, I'm questioning whether I should have gotten the smaller size, as well! Thank you for showing how it looked on pants!
Thank you so much for posting this while seasonal customization is still up. I was struggling between the cookbook holder and another item, so you helped my choice. Also, I ordered a scarf for myself, but was going to order a second one as a gift. Do you feel like the scarf is nice, but nothing special? If so, I might select the unhide as the gift instead. Lastly, do you think it would look/feel weird to stack two of the tennis bracelets, would it be annoyingly dangly? Thank you!
Well I was talking to Wendy (Unboxings with Wendy Jean) her and her daughter both got the cookbook stand and are happy with the quality! I think mine might just have been a one off! I am customizing an entire box for a gift and I really wanted to give her that stand. I'm thinking I might chance it, it will be a useful item for her. I like the design otherwise. The scarf is nice, but if I was choosing between the two for a gift the unhide definitely would be my selection. It comes off as a much more substantial present! As long as you don't think the person would benefit from a scarf more than a blanket, unhide would be my choice! As for the bracelets, it's hard to say how they would look together, I definitely like how mine look with three different bracelets. I guess you could always buy 2 and gift one if you didn't like the way they looked together.
@ Thank you for your thoughtful response.
Another fun unboxing video. You look so pretty in that blouse ❤
@@tabbycat4606 thanks! It is a recent find at Old Navy! I keep taking the kids there to shop and I buy more than than they do. Lol
I'm really glad that I didn't re-subscribe
I can never imagine not having a subscription to Fabfitfun! Even with the odd thing that I don't have success with I enjoy this subscription a lot, but I'm glad you are happy with your choice. I know I have some friends that subscribed to the box and let their subscriptions go, it's not for everyone I guess!
Oh Wow we picked 3/6 of the same primary choices. That belt would bother me too with no loop. My cookbook holder was smooth with no flaws. Sorry you didn’t like yours. Maybe you can have FabFitFun send you a new one. The hat and scarf are perfect for Canada. I was debating about getting the bracelet. Great unboxing thanks for sharing.
@@unboxingswithwendyjean3334 yes the first two items were unlucky to start off with, but it ended good. Overall I am happy with the box, but it sure is costing me a fortune!
Hi Toni! I'm new and love your vids! What I like to do with belts is to skip the pant belt loop, and casually pull the belt-end up and tuck it into the belt. I order belits extra large to do this. Try it❣️ As far as the cookbook stand, it looks *very* unfinished. Can you sand it and stain it darker?🤷🏻
I like the colour of the book stand and if you don’t look close it looks nice, I was planning to customize another box as a gift and just wondering if i happen to just get an unlucky one.
Hi Toni! 👋
Super adorable
Thanks Charlene! I really like making these little houses! I posted my halloween ones, they are even cuter. I'll have to make some Christmas ones next.
