    Kathleen, you are my favorite UA-camr/Journal maker! I feel like I've attended an art class each video of yours that I watch. I absolutely love the creativity and artistry in all your journals and I've learned something new and useful in every video you've made. I agree with others who have expressed appreciation for the fact that you are always well prepared in each video, and I love that you fast-forward or skip the non-essential stuff. I love that you stay on track with the subject matter and keep it as brief as possible, while still introducing wonderful ideas and techniques. Thank you! - Trudy

    Yes, Kathleen, I am very much looking forward to the flip through of this journal. Everything you've done so far is so pretty; I can't wait to see it all together. I always enjoy watching you work, and I appreciate your sharing your tips and hints so much. I know that it takes longer to make the items on camera, so thank you for taking the extra time to share this with us. Did I hear you say you'd had snow?? I am happy to say that we have been having lovely in the 50s days. I hope that you enjoyed the snow. It is beautiful to see.

Your card at 22:06 is exactly how I make my favorite journal cards ( I have a video called "My Favorite Junk Journal Cards To Make" from Sept 18-23. I really need to get an embosser and play more with paints (after I clean my desk again ) I absolutely love all of those cards ☺♥

      Thank you Evie! I’m glad you like these! And you are right - it’s Modigliani. I found a little picture book of his paintings, so you’ll see him again in other journals! I always love finding these little art books. they are just right for ephemera, I think.
