But Shannon, you will never regret being there. And this was invaluable for your Mom. Simply lovely.
Hi LuAnn, I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos! Thanks for watching :)
Oh what a great idea! And they're cheap enough to keep a few on hand for extra supply holders or gifties.
So glad you are back and your mom is on the mend. You brighten my day and your crafty shares always inspire. Love the idea that all the stuff we create will find its purpose if we are patient! Hugs, Anne
Yes she does, I steal her ideas quite often!
Welcome back, glad your mom is doing better. Thanks for sharing!
Glad that your mum is back home and on the mend , great to see you back xx
love this....my mom is in a nusing home...she will like this..thank you for sharring!
Thanks so much for sharing not only your journal but your story! As a charge nurse myself I always try to put myself into my patients shoes and be compassionate to what they may be going through, so if a patient wants pudding and socks that's exactly what they get and with a smile too. I love being a nurse and having worked in this field for many years I know that it's not for everyone, you really have to love what you do and if you don't, it shows. Love the washi tape idea too, I added a link to this video on my composition journal video. Thanks again for sharing!
Thanks so much! You might get a kick out of reading the rest of the story about this hospital visit which includes me having to do some nurse type stuff that I'm so totally NOT equipped to handle! I'm not one of those caregiver type people so I certainly appreciate nurses like yourself. You can read my blog post here if you're interested: shannongreen.blogspot.com/2013/11/a-shell-of-woman-playing-quarters-with-d.html
REALLY glad you are back. LOVE your videos.
Thanks so much Donna!
You were definitely missed! Love the washi tape idea! TFS! Hugs, Donna
Most hospitals will allow one person to stay in the room as long as the patient isn't in ICU. They're very strict about visitors in there. A lot of times they even appreciate having someone stay if you're helping out. If I wasn't there the nurses would have done all the things I did but since I was there and available I was glad to help out.
I'm not an extreme couponer but I'm an avid one! I have a little holder that I like but this would work great too!
Watch out for the ones at Walmart...they're cheaper but much shorter than most washi tape rolls so inch for inch you actually pay more! But check the clearance aisle, you can usually find a good deal on name brand rolls that way.
Yes, Mom is back home and doing much better so all is well now!
Yes. The purpose will come. That was the perfect journal to have with you at the hospital and I loved your little three dollar tote. :)
Glad your mom is okay.
It's good to be back! Love, Bob.
Looking forward to it!
I love that organizer. Just checked them out and they come in so many different colors and a couple different styles. Will be ordering some tomorrow for a trip we are taking after Christmas to visit my dad in Florida. Taking 2 of our grandchildren with us and am using for them for crayons, pencils, notebooks, etc!! One in green and one in pink for sure and maybe a purple one for me! Love your videos - you make me smile!!
Thanks so much for watching!
I took all the pictures with my phone then just printed them out after I got home. I print them small enough to fit whatever journal I'm putting them in.
Thanks so much, it's good to be back!
So good to see you back!! Love the washi tape on the journal pages!! Great tip!!
Oh believe me, Mom is a handful! It's so good to be back :)
Thanks so much Emy!
Those are the Slicci gel pens from Pentel. You can get them from Jet Pens.
Thank you for explaining about the hospital and for being such an attentive daughter :-) Gloria
Hi Shannon I love your journal. I have been trying to start one for a while I need to get it together! Yours reminds me of Marianne Kensingtons-she has awesome journals too.
thank you for sharing this journal & so glad your mom's ok :)
Glad your mom is doing ok. Glad you're back Bob :) fun to be able to pal around with you again ;) Take care.
Thanks Lori!
I like the washi tape idea. I don't own a single roll -- they were so expensive when they first came out, I just never bought any. Walmart has some cheaper versions.. I might spring for a roll or two on payday. :)
Barnes and Noble stores have the Piccadilly notebooks in three-packs.
Thanks for watching!
Happy to hear the awkward ending again...you've been missed! I just love how inventive you were in your hospital journal. I need to remember to look at everything as fodder for art. Happy you are home and that your mom is okay. :)
Glad your mom is doing better. Great journal! tfs
Thanks Lujean! It's good to be back :)
I knew there had to be a name for it!
You crack me up, love the accent, sounds like me cause I am Southern too.
Good to have you back, Bob ;)
Good to have you back girl! Glad your mom is okay too! See you in the next vid :)
Thanks Meri!
Thank you!
I just love sense of humor Shannon.
+Clara Avin Thanks!
Thanks so much!
Ohh it came out perfect! Very cute.. ive already started gluing my envelopes together! I loved your Bob story too..
Heh :) Thanks for watching!
Overall we really had some great nurses. There were only 2 that I wanted to strangle and out of a 2 week hospital stay that isn't bad!
Ha! It's so good to be back, I really missed y'all. Is that weird? It probably is so I just won't think about it too hard.
Glad your back Shannon....missed ya:)
The washi tape idea is great. I only have a few and am on the hunt for more but they are expensive - the nice ones! LOL! Yes I am picky! Love that bag! Too bad it is not available in Canada! Great video:)
LOL It's like decoding a secret message!
Thanks!
I am very happy to see your video. I am writing this because of my computer video card burned and was being repaired 2 weeks. Now everything is working. Honestly, I'm delighted with how you arranged your journal with envelopes. When you make a video of his demonstration of the "raw" I thought "it would be good to see it finished and framed." And so I waited. SUPER! But I did not understand what this hospital?
I'm glad your Mom is getting better.
It's good to have you making videos again. =)
That's a cool "Caddy" for your art stuff.
I'm glad you had that journal with you, to help you through those 9 days.
It's a cool journal, full of interesting stuff. thank you for sharing. =)
COOL! (the washi tape idea)
Great idea. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
I ordered a n organizer like that and I use it for my couponing , I have dreams to be an extreme couponer, lol
I am very pleased. Recounts greeting.
I just love your envelope journal!!! And you.
Thank you so much Susan!
Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
That might be where I got them, I don't remember!
Glad your mom is recovering Shannon. How do you make those little pictures? Like the one of the hilarious spray cheese?
This is really helpful because I'm getting ready to go to Maui for 2 weeks next month for my daughter's wedding and I HAVE to take some stuff along. When everyone else is sleeping on the plane, I'm going to be doodling. I'm sure that will be interesting.
Kathy Buttermore Perfect project for a trip like that!
Shannon missed you! I just learned that the leading edge of the paper waterfall is called the creep! Kid u not.lol and wouldnt those pages make good pockets if u taped their bottoms? Blessu
Best answer to my personal quandary about why and what to do with junk journals ... Prepare them for when the Universe calls them for a purpose! Jackpot! You are a genius! Thank you! Hope all went well with your mother.
Now you know!! All is well with Mom, thanks :)
I hate 1 day in a hospital , so u did real good doing 10 days ...........i have that bag organizer and i have never used it so now i need to dig it out what a great idea.........love your quirky hospital journal ..........what a great idea with the washi tape edged pages.....ty for a great video x Pauline
Thanks for watching Pauline!
Hello-I am thankful your mom is better and that you are home again. I did not know people can stay at hospitals. I thought there were just visiting hours and people had to stay in motels. I also was surprised reading on your FB that you did so much for your mom-stuff I figured the nurses would do. Are all hospitals like that anymore? Anyway, I was happy to see what good therapy your journal was. I have a few in reserve too, should such a need arise. Blessings on your day :-) Gloria
glad you made it back safe. love the video. the washi tape idea is bril! btw what needle nose gel pens are those?
So glad your computer is repaired now!
Love how the hospital journal came out! I'm traveling right now and staying with my kids for days at a time while they go about their business and before I played a lot on the computer...now I rifle through their junk mail and make journals! What fun! Last night I made two from picture envelopes. I will have to do a video because they look rough now but I will love them after I play with them! I subscribed to you!
Thanks so much for subscribing, Jeanne! Someone else's junk mail is always more fun than your own ;)
Funny. I often use "Fluffy" when I need to give a name. It works. :)
I understand the comments, your mom was in the hospital and you were at it, and now it feels good?
They are pricey little suckers! All mine came off a clearance rack somewhere, thats the only way I can afford them!
I enjoyed this video. My brother was in hospital earlier this year for major surgery (in fact, the most major surgery that is performed.) I was visiting him almost every day, as he and I are both widowed. Fortunately, we get along well. He went through a lot of traumas, but to cut a long story short, I think it would have been good to have something like this to play with, as I had to stay at his house, which is 40 miles away from where I live, but closer to the hospital he was in. Also, there were days when he could barely stay awake, so I could have doodled by his bedside, or when I went to the cafeteria for lunch. Thank goodness he has made a wonderful recovery, mostly due to to his positive attitude. Sorry, I took so long with this, but wanted to make a point of the usefulness of your story. BTW, what do you do with all of your journals? TFS Elaine x
elkeartsandcrafts Elaine Jones Elaine, so glad to hear your brother has recovered! I think I would have gone nuts without this little journal :) I keep some of my more personal journals boxed up in my art room. I pull them out on occasion and flip through them but they're mostly just for me. Most of my art journals and junk journals I keep on the book shelves with all my other books so that anyone can pick one up and look through it if they want to. Occasionally I'll pull one out and display it somewhere in the house.
Very Sweet you and your Mom! I Hope All continues to be well with her! I am wondering if you could do this with magazine pages or even junk mail?See how you get this Newbie Cheryl thinking? Thank you for Sharing your time and many ideas :)
Yes, go for it!
Lol no nurse charge or not should be above the "little" things. Little things go a very long way. I do charge too.
I am so glad you shared this with me!! I especially love the departures and arrival board card!! LOL!! It make me think of "Logan's Run" starring you and your mother and your mother is a "runner". Have you ever seen that film? I adored it when I was younger and watched it recently with Victoria and we had a hoot watching it. Check it out if you haven't seen it. I love the book. I want to know.. I ended up opening up each envelope so, it creates a folio spread and then I plan on sewing those together. The first thing I plan to do is to cover up the addresses and the names of all the creditors hunting me down.. LOL!!.. my question was how well did it hold up to acrylics or other wet mediums or did you just use your pens and use it as a glue book. I think I might do that. Thanks so much for sharing this. I love it and I love the dimensions of it and can't wait to make one of my own even though I have too many projects I want to do right now. xoxo
+Juliana Beasley Logan's Run is one of mine and Jayson's favorite cheesy sci fi movies! We watch it at least once a year. Michael York is such a hilariously bad actor, we marvel at how he still manages to find work.
I didn't use any wet media in my book other than glue. I added color with pens and markers so I have no idea how it would hold up to paint.
ha! ha! i always pack my art supplies first, then clothes. The supplies outnumber the clothes by far. way way far.
That's as it should be.
Hi Shannon!...i just found youuuuuuu while looking for homemade gessoooooooo....I haven't laughed so hard in a long while...what a great surprise! hahahahaaaa....well too i have learned a lot of things also but you are so funny and talented and i'm going to stay up quite a few hours and watch your videos....happy your Mom is doing well :) ... LuAnn Briggs
Oh I like Fluffy. I might be Fluffy soon.
I do the same thing with the names, I have cats, one is Bill, one is Bob. Their names are Louis and Elliot. I love your sense of humor.
Thanks for watching Angie!
I AM SOOOOO GLAD YOU ARE BACK!!! (yes, I'm yelling it) Anyway, I was traumatized when you had no new videos for me to watch. I think I would like to know all the "covered over" writing you did....hummm....how much trouble could your mom get into confined to a hospital bed??? :0).......I also think I am going to use plain masking tape to tape my pages and then paint or draw on it ...but thank you for the great idea. (I am only kidding about your mom getting into trouble....)
I spent two weeks last time with my mom, and I’m going again next week to help her move. Please pray for me! Lol!
OH girl...I still have scars. ;)
Oh I hear ya.... Been there ... Aaaarrgh . The things we do for love .
Sorry about. Your Mom, but I want to know that the washi tape idea is just the berries.
+Rebecca Bullock Thank you Rebecca!
What accent?? ;)
Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks so much!
Thanks so much!
