    My very favorite book as a child was secret garden. I wasn't much of a reader but i couldn't wait to come home to read this book😊❤this is a great idea i love it

    • @annekenlon
      @annekenlon  Рік тому

      Oh, Suzy, do you know what, I JUST re-read The Secret Garden a few weeks ago! It had been awhile, but it was on my Kindle app and I clicked onto it one night I couldn't sleep. Mary was such an interesting main character - so disagreeable - but how she changed as she learned about life on the moor! I was always a little disappointed that the book ended with her cousin's triumph and not her own, but that was the author's choice I guess! Enjoy this technique!

      I just found your channel and am a beginner at junk journaling. Loved your process video and the conversation about “Little Women”. I’m 70 and have never read it. I grew up in WV, and I do not remember having to read any of the classics, which is really sad. I realize I’ve missed so much…

    Little Women is very special to me, as well. My mother introduced it to me when I was very young. She read it when she was a child. We were both very avid readers. I've always felt a special kind of "ownership" with this book. I tried the "stack and whack" technique for tags and now I have 10 more ready to go. I enjoyed it very much.

    • @annekenlon
      @annekenlon  Рік тому

      Barb, you touched me deeply with these comments. Don't know if I mentioned this in the video, but Little Women is the only book I ever remember discussing in-depth with my own mother. I always associate it with her - as well as the 1994 movie! Have fun stacking and whacking, and here's to the March sisters!

    I am going to shock you. I am 70 and have never read Little Women! But after listening to you, now I am going to. And maybe the same for Little Men too. I love these Stack and Whack Tags. And I really need this Tag Template, so am going to look around at Gayle's YT until I find it. Thanx

    • @annekenlon
      @annekenlon  Рік тому +1

      You'll love the book! And the tag template is so easy - just use an old gift card or loyalty card and snip a corner or two off in whatever angles you choose. All my snips are different. Then just cut alongside the edge of the plastic card, and flip it over to cut the other side. Thanks for watching!

I’ve gotten so lazy about using my corner cut cards, so I appreciate the reminder to get mine out. I’m with you on owls! I love them. You know with what we do, they are so handy because they are a nice vertical to add to a piece. Thanks so much for the fun technique! Let me know if it’s okay to video my attempt.

    If, after you tear your pieces and put the starting pieces on, then just move the top scrap of piece two to the bottom of the pile and put the second pieces on in the same order as you did the first, then put top two scraps of piece three on the bottom of the stack, etc, they will shuffle themselves.

    Wait....Beth dies??? 😅 jk...I haven't seen the most recent version of Little Women. I do love the 90s version with Winona Ryder and Gabriel Bryne...oh, and Christian Bale. Thanks so much for another fun crafty idea. I create journal tags using authentic Toe Tags, so the phrase Whack and Stack sounds great! 😅😅 Happy New Year!

    • @annekenlon
      @annekenlon  Рік тому +1

      You're cracking me up! Yes, Christian Bale - the dreamiest Laurie ever. Worst version I ever saw was from the late 70s sometime. I stumbled across it in parts on UA-cam a few years ago. Lots of stars from the day, most of them poorly cast in leading roles. Meredith Baxter-Birney was a petulant, whiny Meg and Eve Plumb (Jan Brady) was a trying-too-hard Beth. Susan Dey of Partridge Family fame was pretty good as Jo, but the most unfortunate cast member was William Shatner as Professor Baher with the worst fake accent ever! Do look up the 2019 Greta Gerwig version with Saoirse Ronan - she's spectacular as Jo.
