Flip Through of Our Memory Journal for Our PB
I was happy to see more eclectic journals of yours. Got to love the sheet covers. So pretty, I’ve been scouring for some but haven’t found any I’m crazy about.
Beautiful journals❤
❤❤❤
These sound fun. I will try to participate!
Awesome!! Anything is great to get me using my stash ❤😂
Oh I love this. I will be participating. I do have a channel. I just started it not to long ago. This will be fun to participate in and I look forward to seeing everyone’s creativity. Thank you for doing this and the flyer will be very helpful ❤
Just subscribed to you, welcome to UA-cam! 😊
I also just subscribed! :) Hi Carolyn!
I don't do videos but I will participate. Thanks for your work.😊
Love your journals! ❤
Ooh, I love so many of those prompts! I don't have a UA-cam channel but I'll definitely be participating behind the scenes. I have wallpaper stash that I don't often use so I'm looking forward to seeing what folks do with that.
I forgot to mention that YES everyone can absolutely participate and join in even w/o a UA-cam channel! It will be so fun!
Beautiful journals! I would love to get my hands on any one of them😊 since I’m newer to your channel, not sure if you’ve done this before, but I’d love to see how you put one of these together. I just love your style.
I will try to make a tutorial soon! Thanks for watching!
So many great ideas to use.😊 thank you Meg yet again.💝
I love, love, Love these journals! So fun with all your creative effectiveness! You have once again inspired me.
Things to do this weekend: Copy every idea Meg had for these journals 😉
Meg thank you so much for the shout out. I am writing this comment after just seeing you flip through the first journal and my mouth is literally gaping. Kudos for the coin wrapper hidden journal spot! OMG - I am so using this idea and you know I will give you full credit for this! The other things so far is the simplicity of taking the fabric scraps gluing them haphazardly to the page and then stitching around them....WHAT?!!! Ok back to the video.....
I can't take original credit for the paper pieces sewn down. So many other creative crafters out there! I am honored to be able to use some of their ideas. I do love this technique though -- another way to use tiny scraps other than snippet strips/rolls!
Really enjoyed the flip thrus! Love them all…how to choose?! If your family is like mine I can imagine the laughter that ensued while they were making the ephemera 😂
There was much laughter :D Thanks for watching!
So fun. Every page is a fun surprise. Nice variety! ❤
I love these so colorful. Your husband and daughter's journal cards are my fav. So funny. Youve given me a lot of ideas hopefully I'll remember thats a problem with me😂😂 I love how you made those index cards with fabric looks like an envelope so cute 😍
That's an idea I learned by watching Karla Frizzelle -- she is the queen of ideas like that! Thanks for watching!
They turned out so nice and fun. Well done!
Ephemera extravaganza sounds like a good time! These turned out lovely. So nice your husband and daughter were able to assist. I’m sure these will fly 😊
Your journals are fabulous as always! I am so excited that you were able to use the items I sent you in these journals. And I am always thankful for the shout outs as I am really trying to get to the elusive 2K subscriber mark. :-) xo Mary
Yes! Thank you Mary! So many things I was able to use in these!! Thank you!
And may you get to 2K very very soon!
Very Cool!!!
Love all of them!
These are all so nice and fun❤❤❤😊😊
❤❤❤❤❤
Great ideas!
Great happy mail. I loved the wallpaper and book pages especially.
Sarah is so sweet! She found some perfect pages for you. What fun! ❤
Such fun!!!
What a fun happy mail! Love that numbers card and the wallpaper is perfect. And, yes, I have "ReeeCoLa" going through my head right now!
I am singing the Ricola song now!
❤❤❤
Not in my head actually…. I sang the Ricola name out loud! 🤣😂🤣 Such a sweet, thoughtful happy mail! 💗
Sarah is the best! Thanks for sharing❤
That “M” card is so cute. Love the gray contrast with the gray, isn’t it great? This is a sweet package. Got to love saving book pages from the death of the dumpster! I’m glad she passed some onto you. And the coloring book pages. Adorable
Hi Meg! So glad you got your package today! Yay, I’m excited for later this week ❤❤ You are so sweet! God bless❤ you
Fun fact: there are only 2 remaining Kmarts: 1 in Long Island, NY, and the other near me in Miami. It's very small, just a portion of it's original size since they sold off most of the space to an At Home store. I haven't been in there in a while, but I read it's set up in a vintage Kmart fashion with vintage "Blue Light Special" signs and 70% Off etc. I'm going to have to check it out.
@@teresag75 oh my! I’d love to go! If you go and take photos, email some to me! Sounds so neat!
🦒Hi Meg🦒 Awesome tags, love that you sewed around the tags love the fabrics. Hope today finds you feeling better, big hugs 🤗💕
I love these! I have one that was Grandmother's from the 1956. Very well used and loved. TFS because I want to do this.
Yay KMart 😂. Love those bead barrets they might be fun to clip in the middle of a fabric flip 🤔. Gorgeous fabric and trims. Still watching! 😊
Hooooooolllllllyyyy! 😮❤
Unusual sandwich I love: peanut butter and watermelon on toasted bread. The peanut butter waterproofs the bread. 🍉 ❤ My husband’s grandparents (who taught us about watermelon sandwiches) ordered their first house and furniture from the Sears catalog.
Amazing Happy Mail.Cindy is very thoughtful and generous.I'm going to try a peanut butter and mayo sandwich! When my brother and I were kids we had Jam and Cheese.It was yum.Sorry to hear you have been going through a rough patch. Hope you feel better soon. ❤❤❤
If I didn't know any better I would have thought I was in my craft room. I love it and tfs.
The happy mail packages you receive are testaments to how you embody the Dali quote regarding being inspirational. Not only do you inspire us to create, you inspire your viewers to bless you with treasures for your creative journey which keeps the cycle going! As always thanks for sharing. Love the idea of a swatch book (or junk journal even!) for ribbons, trims and even fabric scraps, etc. Sometimes I hoard things because I fear I’ll never find anything like it again, but if I knew I could flip through a book to at least admire snippets of the past pretties I’ve come across it would be easier to actually use them in projects. And now this comment has come full circle-Inspiration from Meg at Chasing Retro! ❤
So well said and absolutely true!! I am loving the snippet book idea as well!
I may just have to make one! ;) Thanks for your kind words!!
Thanks for the shoutout question about Beacon St. in Boston! Beacon St is a pretty long street, so I wasn’t sure if 239 Beacon was closer to Beacon Hill or Kenmore Square or parts of Brookline and Newton, so I looked it up. It’s in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston, which is between Beacon Hill and Kenmore Sq. It’s a lovely, lively neighborhood. Gosh, this makes me miss Boston! So happy to hear you spent part of your Honeymoon in Boston and VT! And this is such an amazing happy mail package! I’m swooning over the Vintage trims!
Thanks Meridith! So neat! Yeah, we landed in Boston, did a 7 day tour of NE states, then stayed two more days in Boston again. Finished the trip with an Italian meal with tiramisu at Vinny Testa's! I still regret not actually going on the USS Constitution (we did the walking tour but didn't go on board. :(
Oh my gosh, I listen to Kmart music too! I've never told anyone that before. The Christmas music is the best. I miss Kmart and Woolworths. My friends and I thought we were so grown up to sit at the Woolworths counter and order lunch. Love all the peach. My wedding color was peach and our daughter's nursery was done in the little peach rose buds. So many memories! I still have my Dating Game from when I was little! What a treasure box from Cindy!
Yeah!! If you could see my Spotify playlists you'd probably flip! I listen to "musak" all the time, esp. while working on journals!
Love the details about the peach! Rosebuds were all the rage in the early 80s! I had so many rosebud nightgowns -- ha. And I remember going to several peach weddings! Wedding dresses (and bridesmaid gowns) in the 70s and 80s were A+ awesome.
