I like watching you decide what to put in your journal! Looking forward for Part 3!!
I don’t mind how long it takes I love watching how you make decisions for your pages!!!
This mini series is just what I need as I prepare to make my first journal. Hearing you think out loud is just right. Thank you 🙂
I like that you’re not prepared in advance because beginners will learn so much on how to get started in the thinking process... I for one appreciate your videos and that you share with us your “out loud” thinking of what to put where...this has inspired me to get started on my 1st journal so thank you for sharing with us beginners that don’t know how to start.
That’s very sweet thank you 😁 I know some times it annoys people to hear the whole process but I have friends & family & especially my nieces that are learning from my videos, so I feel like I need to go through the whole process without cutting out any part so it explains every detail as if they were in my craft room with me. Lol When I first started out years ago I didn’t have that so if it helps even one person get inspired then I’m very happy. 😁
Agreed!! I have been getting prepared for quite awhile now lol found ur videos almost a yr ago,and I've had some other things goin on and needed to finish before I could get started and YAY me I'm finally sitting down and doin it lol and as I sit here watching this for the third time I'm like ok now what lol I have all my pages ready so I know thts where I start first lol now tht I'm here and ready to go i feel I'm struggling and I dnt know why lol b cuz this isn't supposed to be perfect well at least I think it's not..but I appreciate this thank you stay safe and god bless you and your family 😊
@@ChrissyDesigned hello!! Where did you get the stuff for your closure? And what’s it called? I love all your ideas! Very inspiring 😊
Please don't stress about the time, people will pick up on that and aren't we all just here to enjoy and learn? These things take time, it's just how it is
I’ve never made one of these . I’m honestly not very crafty. I have watched a couple of people in the past do these I I just couldn’t make heads or tails out of it. Watching you and your thought process as you put this together made so much since to me. I learned more from these first two videos than I’ve ever been able to learn before. I’m a visual learner and you made me feel like I really could do this! You kept apologizing in the video and i kept thinking no, no, no, you’re teaching this the way it should be taught. I for one am very grateful. It wasn’t boring to me, it was informative and detailed in just the way I needed it presented in order for me to understand. Thank you so much. This is my first time here. I kept thinking as you talked that you have to be from Arkansas, Texas, or Tennessee. I’m from Tennessee and I’ve been transplanted in Arkansas for the last several years. Lol! I can’t wait to watch you again!
Thank you! 😁
I’m so happy that it made sense. I try to explain it in a way that even the non crafter would be able to understand. I get tons of complaints that I’m to slow, but my videos are not for them if they already know how to do all of it. I have young nieces that follow along with me at their home so I try to balance it for them to be able to keep up. & I try to keep in mind how I felt when I first was learning. It seemed like everyone teaching this was so advanced, I couldn’t ever find any simple basic learning videos so I was always lost. Lol
Yes I am a Texan. I’m told that my accent gives it away but of course I don’t hear it. Lol I had one lady tell me that she only watches my videos to listen to my voice. Lol 😆
@@ChrissyDesignedI knew I heard a fellow Texan in there lol. I too appreciate this so much, I’m starting on one for my niece n was absolutely lost with it all. Thank you so much for actually teaching, most don’t.

i gotta laugh bc im listening to u as i read the @kermitandmisspiggyb comment, we are all just laidback practitioners. we are not fasty fast. i feel slow myself. i take my time. i got my family, my sense of clutter, gotta watch out bc they dont understand my love for the printed word and paper in general. I've three complete journals, i have two incomplete ones, i have ideas. i got ideas. your vid takes me into calm mode. i appreciate that. im 72 & learning what to do. stay beautiful. btw. im watching from east flatbush brooklyn ny.
Loved your ideas and start to finish. I love that you don't have annoying music and it's like we are crafting with you. Thank you so much. I'm going to start mine this weekend.
Love that you have interconnecting envelopes in your journals, and the flips and tucks are like I've never seen before!👜💅
Thank you 💗
Love your“thinking out loud” process!
Loved seeing the thinking process. Creative mind at work. Thanks for not having annoying repetitive music. Honestly. I watched all the episodes back to back. So it was actually some hours all in one sitting, and I did not mind it one bit!
That’s very sweet, thank you! 😁
I love your videos so much! Agree with others that this start-to-finish is awesome. And I love that there's no background music! Thank you so much!
Thank you! I wouldn’t know how to add music if I wanted to, lol, but I do prefer no music myself. 😁
I'm a newbie from Southern Oregon and I just love your step by step Junk Journaling. Thank you for sharing.
This video is two years ago and yet it never gets old. Wonderful ideas and it’s like I’m sitting here visiting with a friend. Super nice video and I love all the pockets you’ve made!! Thank you for sharing!! I’m off to watch your next one! ❤️💕🌸🌹
Don't be sorry for the length because I was fascinated. I am learning how to do this for my first junk journal. Thank you! BLESSINGS
Thank you!! 😁
Me too Toots! I’m just learning at the ripe old age of 73!!
@@repentantsoul4213 I turn 40 in 3 days. I remember when I thought 40 was old! Lol But now that it’s me that’s 40 I don’t feel old. Lol 😂
Carol I'm 71!

Hi, I'm 21. While I was watching the video I started scrolling while you were making tag and found some really sweet comments. The way some people told their age - it just sounded so cute that I couldn't stop myself from commenting here. Watching such comments and videos like yours make the world look so kind and beautiful! It is all heart warming.
Just found your channel! Love it - no annoying music. Just sitting with a friend and crafting
Aww thank you! 😁 That’s exactly what my videos are about. I’m just talking & crafting with family & friends & enjoying it. 😁

I love watching you think on the go. It helps me remember that I think too much. That's something I struggle with through everything that I do. You do an awesome job. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you 💗 I’ve been learning to just go with my first thought when creating something & I end up liking it so much more & it takes away the over thinking about each thing & it’s more fun that way! Lol 😁
Thanks so much. You've helped us newbies more than you think♡♡♡
Thank you! Comments like this is what keeps me motivated. 😁
I am a teacher and I have found that students learn best when instructors model the process. I am new to creating diy journals...You are doing an excellent job modeling your ideas and the process.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Chrissy, you have such a nice teaching style!
I'm just starting this journey.
Thank you for starting from scratch and no prep.
I have learned alot.
Thank you! 😁 This craft is so much fun you will enjoy all the creating.
Me too!
I am glad you did not pre-plan anything. Thank you! Great tutorial!👍🏻
Thank you!
A great introduction to junk journaling! You really put so much information into your videos. Its also very soothing to watch you create. Please keep up the great work.
Thank you! I have new videos coming soon. I’m still in the process of moving but I have some new ideas I can’t wait to share! 😁
Only just found your channel. I love that it’s so long- I learnt so much. I’m a definite newbie!
Thank you!!😁 I have a big video coming up in a few days! It’s packed full of information for newbies that are just starting out. I’ll also be linking to lots of free junk journal printables!
Great for beginners. Thank you for the inspiration and showing that it is ok for things not to be perfect.
That’s what I love about crafting & these journals. Imperfections make the perfect. lol Thank you for watching! 😁
Thank you so much for this two-part tutorial, Lots of great ideas and inspiration. and very relaxing to watch!🥰
Aw thank you! 💗
Stumbled upon your channel and I must say that your instruction and demonstration is THE BEST! I appreciate you. Thanks for showing some things I had questions about.
Awe thank you so much!! 💗
Love watching you journal on the fly. Great to see how you think it out and then do it. You are giving us bare bones journaling. Please don’t think you are letting us down. You are not boring. I love how you are doing this. Thanks
Not bored, fascinated.
I like it just the way you did it. Don't pre-plan
This is amazing! Thank you for the step by step process! I’m trying my first junk journal soon!
Thank you! You’re going to have so much fun! 😁
I loved watching your thought processes. Please continue to teach us , I have so many questions.
Love this series…please continue 👍
Totally like the organic approach. That’s the way I work, I gather a few things together it sometimes they do t make it anywhere near the finished product. I like seeing so
One work the same way. It makes me feel more confident that I should keep working this way. If you had everything together and didn’t go through the process of thinking about what you want it would be boring. Better to see the process! ❤
Don’t worry about being slow or long or thorough. We cause pause if we need to and return. I love your methods.!!
Thank you so much 😁
I like how you think as you go for sure. Looking forward to part 3!
No wonder your videos are so soothing…you must be from Texas 🤗 I love how laid back your videos are and how easy they are to follow along.
Thank you that’s very sweet😊. Yes I am from Texas & we do tend to do things a little slower & laid back, in my area anyways. Lol I’m so happy you get it & enjoy the videos. 😁
I just made my first journal from your #1 video now I’m pausing this and working on the inside. Thank you so much for showing all the process. I have watched many videos (months worth) this series is the best! Thank you & Blessings 😊
That’s awesome! Thank you that’s very sweet. 💗
I don’t have a lot of items to put inside but I sure look at junk and using your other fun videos is a big help. I like your step by step videos and like them long.
I would love to see Bible journal, Please.. many Blessings! 🤗😊
Like so many new to this activity, I add my thank you for your ability to share your thought process. So helpful and inspiring!!
Thank you 😊
Hi I am new here, I like seeing your thought process in planning out each step/stage, I was curious when I started part 1 now I want to make my own, I love the artsy crafty part the personal touches just feed my soul. I am so drawn to journals, journaling, stickers pens, anythony stationary related. Thanks for the videos off to watch another one!
Definitely no boring. You are so generous with all you ideas.
Beginner learning so much!!!
You make it so easy. Love how you think as you go❤️
I agree with the other comments about watching your process and your thinking, don't change. I find it extremely helpful. Thankyou.
Thank you! 😁 It’s hard to please everyone but I don’t edit my videos or cut out parts because I have family, friends & pre teens learning how to make journals & it’s very helpful for them to see the whole process as if they were sitting in my craft room with me. So I figured it would also be helpful to anyone that’s a beginner. 😁
Hi I’m loving learning how to do this and I love watching your thought process. I love that your not prepared in advance.
Thank you! 💗
I learned so much from your video and enjoyed seeing the whole thought process.
Hello, I just wanted to thank you for making these videos on how to make a junk journal. You have so much patience and have taken the time to explain everything to us, including to make sure we are careful with what we use in the journal if it is for a gift because I would not have even thought of looking at the words on the pages used to make the journal. What a great tutorial. Thank you once again . Oh and could you please tell me what you are using on your craft table that looks like wood planks
I really like watching you intuit as you go ... gives me courage that I could do the same.
Thank you so much! 😊
Big 👍Love watching you put this all together, still watching & the adds. ❤️❣️♥️
I loved watching you think on the spot!
Thank you 💗
loved watching how you made these videos. thanks
I love your process....and taking us on your journey. Thanks
Thank you 😁
Just found your page and new to junk journals- love love your thought process and watching you create.
Thank you so much! 😊
Loved your creative process and I'm absolutely in awe of your amazing art! Thank you so much for sharing
Thank you so much! 💗
You did a great job. I love seeing your process, I am new to this so helpfull. Cheers
Thank you! 😁 Once you start you get sucked in! Lol I created one journal years ago because I was bored that day & now I have made so many I lost count. Lol 😂
I like it just like you’re doing it!!😍
This was so helpful and fun to watch. I want to get started!
Thank you!!! 😁
Just found this and watched it for the first time. Looks very easy for a beginner to understand for their initial foray into journal making.
Very good and easy explanation of the steps in the proper order. Thank you
Thank you so much! That means a lot. ☺️
Hi! New friend to your channel from Kentucky. I can tell you have a southern accent as well. Thank you do much for showing us how to start one of these cute journals because I want to make one for my daughter as well as one to do with my triple negative breast cancer I was diagnosed with this past November 2020. You truly have inspired me to make some. 💗
That’s so amazing, I’m so happy for you!!!! 🥰
Yes, I live in Texas, I do try to talk “proper” whatever that is lol when I’m recording (I found out lots of people don’t like southern accents Lol) but I know it still comes out. Lol 😝
My little girl loves the journals I make her. I like to put hidden spots through out so she gets little surprise notes from me when she finds them. I think your daughter will enjoy just as much especially bc her mama made it for her. 😊
Un video straordinario, bello , con spiegazioni molto accurati,!!! Grazie, grazie!!!🌹
Thank you for sharing this (and your previous video)! As someone new to junk journaling, I really appreciate your approach. Loved the format!
I loved it and worked right along with you. Very relaxing.
Aww thank you!! That’s exactly why I started making videos! 😁
Yes, like your thought processes.
Thank you!! 😁
I like.watching your thought process
Thank you 💗
Hey! I love how mellow you are and the time you took going through everything. I can't stand all those hyper women rushing through videos! Lol. I did want to tell you that you can buy the replacement pins for the glue at country craft creations. It comes with a few pins and the fine point tip. I did the same as you and bought some at the store. I finally made me a dangling charm for my bottle and it has kept me from losing it. Thanks again for the tutorial! I've enjoyed watching you!
Perfect approach. I like hearing you think out loud.
Love and enjoyed your video could watch for hours .
Thank you! That is just so sweet. 😁
So beautiful and you make it so easy to do
Thank you! 😊
Watched the first video. Very excited for this part. You are a great teacher. So relaxed..
Thank you for keeping this so simple for newbie like me!! 😄Really feels like anyone can do it!!❤️❤️
Im still planning my 1st one. Im learning a lot from you.
Your video has helped me more then any other. I will look forward to your up and coming videos. Just an FYI, when I'm glueing I use a used dryer sheet to run/ dob over the newly glued area. It doesn't stick to the dryer sheet and my hands don't get as messy.
Thank you 💗 oohh that’s a really good idea! Thanks for sharing 😁
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and tips.
i LOVE LISTENING TO YOUR PROCESS. DON'T CHANGE..
Thank you so much!! ❤️
I enjoy watching the creative process and the planning as you go. Thank you for sharing this. Great tutorial.
Thank you! 😁
I’m loving that you didn’t plan it all out
Thank you!
I like it all! The length isn’t an issue with me 😊
I enjoy the long videos. The step-by-step, 'unprepared' videos help me to learn about the thought processes and options out there! The quick ones leave me wondering if I even have an imagination. This is great stuff and I am glad they recommended your channel!! :)
Thank you so much! 😄
FABULOUS!!! THANK YOU.
Thank you! 💗
don't mind the thinking process. it's good to see. thanks. And I like the layering process... the dyed papers first, then other pages mixed in, etc, that really helps!
Thank you! 😁
I like the way you did it No Plans
Loving this video and your last one, Hazy, Nottinghamshire, UK xx
Thank you so much!! 😁
Hello. I too looked on Amazon for the pin and yes! it costed too much😮. Like you I went to Walmart and purchased some the only difference is I purchased the longer pins and taa daa🥳 they work great, and we have way more than just one for more than half the price.
Nice journal🌷
Chrissy I'm so glad I found your channel. I love watching you. Your so creative. I can't wait to start my own journal!Thank you so much😁
Thank you!! That’s very sweet! 😁
So glad I found your channel! You have given me great ideas ❤️ what kind of twine should I buy for sewing the pages together? I am all new to this. I’m still in the collecting of “goodies” to use
It's awesome. I love your creativity !!!
Thank you so much! 😁
Did you ever demonstrate the “Frankenpages”? Thank you for this video!
Thank you so much! I love your video's!
Thank you that is so very sweet 💗
Thank you so much for this, I'm a beginner and your videos have really helped. 🌸☺️
Thank you! 😁 I’m glad I could help. I’ll be doing an updated beginner video soon that will have some different tricks & easy ways to make a junk journal without having a stash of supplies. 😊
Your videos are great don't change....
Jenny 245 Thank you so much!! 😁
Just found your channel and your start-to-finish videos have been so helpful to me as a beginner. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! Headed to Part 3 now but have one question... may have missed it but I need to know what kind of glue your using.
Thank you that’s very sweet of you to say. 😁I’m using the Art glitter glue in this video. I like it because it has a very fine tip & a strong hold. I also use Beacon fabri tac glue but I save that for embellishments that are metal, wood or for a heavier paper. Both are my staples for glue. 😁
I am loving the next video. I have a question regarding type of glue Chrissy is using and the hole poke she used in first video
Hi , I’m watching the 2 part of your video . I just subscribed to your your channel. I’m enjoying the process. 🌸💞🌸
