You know I always enjoy you and your videos! I am ABSOLUTELY loving this new direction you have taken with your journaling and memory keeping! I hit a very similar crossroads recently and am now focusing more on journaling what makes sense for me in the moment rather than the play-by-play of my day. Like you, I have a very detailed planner that chronicles all of that. It’s truly feeling authentic and provides me a place to experience emotions...positive or negative. Also don’t have that nagging feeling of being behind on my journaling. I look forward to seeing where you go next. Thanks so much for sharing! 🥰💕😘
Your lilac art is beautiful. Glad that you are doing you. Your life is just that YOUR LIFE!!! You do not need to compete or copy a life that is not yours. I love your new journal and your new technique. Just have fun!!!
❤️ hearing you talk about the feeling you get when you are forced to fill up a page in a different journal, as opposed to writing down what you wanted to remember. Resonated with me so much. I found a book at goodwill last week. I plan to gut it and transform it into something pretty 🦋
When I took my kids fishing as kids, I bought my DSLR camera and their father's film camera. They loved fishing but when they needed a break, they loved taking photos. As young adults they still love fish and photography.
Yes! I have a son and daughter and my husband and daughter are just like this! A little hope...she's 21 now and yes they still butt heads but she depends on him for a lot! Hang in there! And Yes! Everyone needs a little extra support from a therapist once in a while. Thanks for sharing!!
What a wonderful video....your journal is beautifully amazing! Your words of wisdom being passed to us all is helpful. I'm always thinking negative things about myself that I need to stop and your words about pictures hit home. I need to say nicer things about myself so that my girls will do the same for themselves. I never thought about that negative influence. Not what I want to pass on. It's always comforting to know that I'm not the only one who is struggling. Thank you for being you and sharing.
Lovely video. My daughter and husband are exactly the same. She's 21 now and at college, but if she needs help with anything, he's the one she calls. It all works out in the end : )
Yay another video! I love this journal so much. I am 2 weeks behind in mine lol. I have tons of stuff but just don’t feel the pages coming together. Idk 🤷♀️. You are so lucky to have a wonderful relationship with your mom and dad! My mom was my rock but passed in 2014 and my dad and I aren’t very close and it’s not my doing. It’s been that way since childhood. I love my dad. He never ever calls but I call him every Sunday and I tell him I love him. I can only control my actions. Enough of that lol. I wish I could find some old book stores that sell magazines. I have picked up a few children’s books.I am happy to hear your counseling is going well and honestly ,you sound just like me and my depression at times. Big hugs your way 🤗❤️
I love the art journal process after therapy. I started therapy a month ago and got myself a notebook to jot down my thoughts for afterwards. I think I need to incorporate some art journaling again. It is a great way to work through things. I love your little envelope with things no thinks about you. You got me thinking.
I think I need a little notebook to jot down the thoughts in the moment so I don’t forget my mini revelations by the time I sit down to journal❤️ Thanks for idea😉
@@EmiLou.Arts320 you inspire me to journal. I’ve been finding that hard, but when I’m struggling, I’ll watch one of your old videos. Thank you, thank you. Xx
Thank you for sharing your lilacs and the wisdom you gained from therapy. Your channel is both entertaining and inspiring, but most of all it is REAL! Thanks for sharing your life with us; all of it.
Loving the new style! Always love the journaling and stories! Thanks for sharing your therapy process... it’s so important to share !!! Sounds like you’re doing great work!
Sooooo, because of you I just HAD to get a pocket foxy fix 😆😆 you make it look SOOOO cute!! I'm not a pocket girl, but I'm gonna try it out and can't wait!! And just left Michael's and got me some stickers from shine sticker studio. I have always been a fan too 🥰 but I just had to get some new stuff 🙉. Can't wait for my pocket and to get to stickering all my planners 😁😁😁😁
Basically you want to trim lilacs after they have bloomed, early spring and you can trim them almost to the ground, about 6 to 8 inches from the ground. If you have growth from the main branch cut those off so you can have good air flow for the next blooming cycle. Those older gardening books are like deciphering Greek lol, hopefully that helps.
Hope your doing well! I found your channel about a month ago, and I've been ben watching it ever since! Thanks to you I've been Journaling and loving it!
I love this!! I have many stamps also, I would love to see you at some point in your new journal to use them.. I don’t see many ppl use stamps and I love them and would love to see you use them.
Ok first the cat is hilarious!!! Second .. major parent points for embarrassing the crap out of the kids with music!! I picked my daughter up the other day at the middle school and as soon as she opened the door to get in she realized it was frozen let it go that was blasting loudly 😆😆😆 I'll have to add chumbawamba to my list!!
I am so enjoying your new journal and the fact that you are journaling about what you think you want to remember about your days...idk...maybe being more present? You have inspired me!!
My husband says that all the time… quit putting thoughts in my head! I do that… I tell him what I think he’s thinking and he gets frustrated with me! I can totally related to you!
I’m so glad you can relate, it’s hard to imagine that other people don’t view us with this same super critical lens. I’m still working on reminding myself everyday❤️
My Freya and her dad clash. They often have heated discussions over the slightest thing! They love each other really though, well that's what I tell them! Your pages are fab hun. X
Just had to stop and comment about the fishing...they will miss it if it ever goes away, js. We just sold our house on the water (trying to downsize) and our son who is now 23 said, "Man, I wish I had enjoyed going out on the water and fishing with you guys when I was younger..." I said, well son, you tend to miss things when they are gone. We still have our boat though and he is raring to go out with his dad at any time :) Okay...back to regular scheduled programming...
I loved hearing your cats meowing on the voice over. It was funny. I know exactly how you feel with your hubby & daughter bumping heads. My oldest daughter is like that with my fiance. They bump heads all the time. Great journaling session as always. Thanks for sharing with us!
Okay. This journal needs a name. Like BOA- Book of Amazingness. I love when you share from your BOA journal. 😉 Your cats are hilarious. As is your description of the kids fishing. This was one of your best videos yet! ❤️
My Dad and I butted heads fiercely all through my teenage years. We were too alike and both so stubborn and sure we were right! We were thick as thieves later, of course.
I love seeing a notification that you've made a new video and you've inspired me to start journaling . What size are the photos you got from Walgreens? I want to start using photos in my journal and I have a sprocket but its cheaper getting 4 pics on 1 size ( if that makes sense lol ) ty
Hey Michelle, I used the Pic Stitch app and put together 4 pictures in a square and then had it printed out as a 4x4 picture at Walgreens. I made a video about how I do it!👍❤️
I am just lovin’ this art journaling of yours! Just capturing the things you want to remember in such an awesome way. Love your lilac drawing and what a great page to put it on since it would have been hard to write there. I think you did a fabulous job! Where did you get that fabulous acetate butterfly? If you said, the I apologize, I must have missed it. Great pages and stories.
Omg! You fish like my Mason!!! he was in boy scouts ...maybe 7ish... I have a video... he Caught a fish...he was VERY SURPRISED... he is yelling in a slightly calm manner with a wiggling fish on the end of his fishing pole. Would not touch it and realized it might die!🤣So the yelling elevates to a low scream and his is screaming at me "get it off, get it back in the water before it dies!!!" I grabbed the fish ,took the hook out , through it back. He looked and me and said "mama you are gross! You touched a fish" 🙄🐟...🦈...🐳...🤣
Watching this video for a 2nd time now lol ...your cats cracked me up, lol mine do the same thing! Oh, BTW...I have been going thru my stuff in my craft room & I've got goodies I want to send you - there's an address I saw in 1 of your descriptions, I can send it there?
You are so sweet, the address to my PO Bix is in my description box, but you really don’t need to go out of your way to send anything, just watching my videos is great☺️❤️
@@EmiLou.Arts320 hiiiiii! It's soo great to hear from you - I actually have everything packaged already, waiting for you to confirm that the PO Box was still a valid address, so i'll be getting amazon pkgs this week & will use 1 of their boxes. I'll post a message here letting you know it's on its way. Been thinking about you, we miss you 🥰😘❤

Oh I can’t wait to see!! Take inspiration from your new curtains, they’re so beautiful☺️❤️
When I took my kids fishing as kids, I bought my DSLR camera and their father's film camera. They loved fishing but when they needed a break, they loved taking photos. As young adults they still love fish and photography.
That’s a great idea! It’s neat to see things through their eyes❤️
Loving the beautiful freestyle journaling.

If you have growth from the main branch cut those off so you can have good air flow for the next blooming cycle. Those older gardening books are like deciphering Greek lol, hopefully that helps.

I’m so happy to hear it Diana, thank you so much for watching❤️☺️
Just wanted to say I love these videos, thank you for being vulnerable with us because it helps me process through things.
Thank you Melissa, that is my hope. I know we all struggle; it’s nice to hear someone else has those feelings too❤️
“Set down your yardstick!” I want that on a bumper sticker :)
Must remember! I’m still trying to remember😅❤️
I love this!! I have many stamps also, I would love to see you at some point in your new journal to use them.. I don’t see many ppl use stamps and I love them and would love to see you use them.
