What a wonderful vintage journal Chrissie! I luv it! Great coffee staining, stamping, and other special details.The stenciling looks awesome! Like the quotes too. Nice touch on the beaded elastic and cool cover also. Your friend will be very pleased to receive this keepsake! Great job! TFS! xo
Oh my gosh I love this precious garden journal. I'm sure she wil love it when she receives it. Again beautiful job like always. Love watching your videos. Peace soul sister.
I enjoyed the stroll through your Secret Garden Journal. Chrissie, what fun it was as you unlock the garden pages. I'm sure you enjoyed making this journal too. What lovely art work you chose for the cover and pages. Thanks for sharing and I am sure she will love it too. Lots of hugs, Judy
WOW Chrissie, if I only had 1/4 of your talent I would be happy. This is absolutely beautiful, so creative and charming and the birds chirping in the back ground almost made me feel like I was in the attic with you. Just watched several of your videos and am blown away. Will have to save some of your videos for later when I have free time to watch. Be Blessed, Audrey
I'm sure whom ever your gifting it to will love it - knowing you knew she liked the Secret Garden will make it extra special. Its very cute and I love the quotes you've included in he journal!!
I just found this video and had to tell you how absolutely lovely this journal is. Such an inspiration. I have not yet made a journal using the cinch binding, however, I really like the flexibility of being able to actually sew on the page. I've done altered books but stitching must be done first on the paper and then adding to the book by gluing . I really like stitching directly on the page. Thanks for the inspiration !!
What a truly precious gift for your friend. Love all the different elements through out. Tfs and inspiring. I enjoyed the birdies singing in the background too.
Marion Ginbey Hello Marion, so pleased you liked my little book and also the birds....they always bring so much pleasure from their sweet sounds. Chrissie
This is so gorgeous and such a wonderful keepsake!! I love how you stitched the pages and gave everything a beautiful vintage feel. My 2nd grade teacher read The Secret Garden to us in class...and it's still very vivid in my mind..That's how much I loved it!!!! Beautiful work. tfs hugs Claudene
Beautiful journal Chrissie. My Secret Garden is one of my all time fave stories. You really did a wonderful job on the cover...this journal looks totally vintage. Love the pages and all the tags...I just love it! tfs Hugs, Maggie

Your journal is lovely. I enjoyed seeing all of the things that you put into it. I am a fan of the book and love the "Mistress Mary" nursery rhyme. My mothers name was Mary and I would quote it to her and tease her about the quite contrary part as a child. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thanks for sharing.
+Sharon Allen Hello Michelle, so glad you visited me in the Attic and that you enjoyed seeing my secret Garden journal. Hope you will drop in on me again. Blessings Chrissie :)

Hello Chrissie :-) I have just come over here from Susan's (LittlePoet) channel and I'm so happy to have found you today; The Secret Garden was my very favorite book as a child, probably the reason I love to garden today;-) I can't wait to spend some time looking around your lovely site.

Your style is what impresses me most.I trully enjoy your good works, Chrissie. I'm trying my hand at a book of laces and want to make a banner such as yours out of fabric even though I know how to print on fabric...I'm not at all sure how one starts to achieve such a page to print and would you fill it as full as you could? Any help at all would be trully appreciated. I've looked for help and can't seem to run across any...thank you..Laurel
Laurel Zachow Hi Laurel, thank you for your comments :). I am not entirely sure what you mean about the banner but if you would like to personal message me with more detail as to what it is you are wanting to achieve I would be happy to help you as much as I could. Chrissie
This is a gorgeous junk journal! You chose your images really well and they all look good together and I love the different sizes and styles of papers and envelopes and tags! It all looks so good!! PS Just subscribed to your channel.
I am really enjoying your work and your accent...you are the reason I am going to try this kind of journal. I do have a bind it all, the other journal you did with the coptic/copic ( ?)stitch , it scared me...lol Yours looked so neat and tidy. One question, what is the size of your little journals in inches please? Even at my age now I want to try new things and this may be the ticket. They are wonderful little books. Thank you, Gail
Gail Day Hello Gail, so pleased you are going to try this and I hope you have fun creating your journal. I am no expert but if I can help at all please just ask. You will find many very talented people with helpful videos here on YT too. My journals are different sizes but mainly around 5 x 7 inches or 6 x 4 inches. I find this is a really nice size. (The Nest and Egg nature journal with the coptic stitch is 5 x 7) Thanks for joining me in the Attic :) Chrissie
