I haven't watched TV since 2001!!! (Its a long Story, so LMK if you'd like to hear about it!) ~🙏💙🙏Much Graditude From The Carolinas🙏💙🙏~
These are beautiful!! I especially love your Christmas and Halloween journals. No one does it better!!! Also, I love that, along with selling, you still share free tutorials with us. Thank you so much! I look forward to your posts!!
Thank you so much Joann! I appreciate your kindness. I try to do as many tutorials as time permits. I appreciate you being here and I shall continue to do more. :)
I enjoyed browsing through your darling journals. I like the simple idea of folding a square piece of paper as a tuck spot. I think you could also use it as a hidden journal spot if the paper is white or a light color. You are very creative. TFS❤
You are definitely generous when someone purchases from you with all the extra goodies! I love your journals so much. Unfortunately I saw your video a bit too late and the journal I wanted is already gone but I’m sure there will be a next time. I don’t know how you can manage ti si so many journals at the same time. I’m just finishing up a 3rd one and it took me almost 4 months, lol!!!
Loved your video. First time I've watched you. Your journals are wonderful. I'm new at this so I'm going to be watching you more. Have a wonderful day and Happy holidays.
These are amazing!! I love the ornament you’ve added to each of them. You did a wonderful job, whoever gets one of these is going to be so lucky 💖🎀🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻✨✨✨✨✨
Lily you are so generous when someone purchases from your shop! Thank you so much for all of the extras....and the journals themselves are so beautiful and so well made! Thank you!! ❤ Happy Holidays to you!!
Hi Nancy, thank you so much! I am truly appreciative of all your support. I'm so glad you enjoy the journals and the extras. I'm so happy to hear this. Happy Holidays! :)
Hi Lily I have been waiting for your video.........man you are so busy! I have been sick with the Flu/Covid for 10 days and you have uplifted me with your chat. Thanks so MUCH.........I have an Instagram and never use it. I will look you up. I called my friend and said we need to thrift. It has been over 2 months! Merry Christmas and have a Wonderful New Year to you and your family. Hugs Kat
Oh no, sending you well wishes for a super speedy recovery and as soon as you are feeling 100% you and your bestie can go treasure hunting. Thank you so much for watching. Get well soon! :)
Hi Lily! I love the new journals--especially the snowmen! Love all the extras you sent me when I purchased my journal from you. I enjoyed playing and creating with everything. Still working on items for a craft fair and hoping to have time to document my holiday also. Wishing you a blessed and happy holiday! :)
Thank you for being here and watching my videos. I do have several videos in my channel showing my process in different stages. I have a video where I share how I make the cover topper from gift boxes and another showing how I turn a cereal box into the journal cover. So much fun to reuse and repurpose household items. Thank you for asking!
I am in awe of your energy! 10 wow- it takes me weeks 1:53 just to do one 😂 due tell your secret would love to see a process video about how to do this because I need to make 6 journals for my siblings and it seems like quite an undertaking
You can do it! I do have several videos in my channel showing my process at different stages but if I did one from start to finish it would be suuuuper long, lol. We also don't want you to feel overwhelmed when creating. It should be a time to destress and create with joy. Start with a couple at a time and increase if you are comfortable doing so. I am a mass maker as much as I don't want to be. My thought process begins with, "well, if I can make one I should just go ahead and make two, and if I can make two, I'll just make four and then four turns to 6 and all of a sudden I'm working on 13'. Thirteen is just in case I decide to keep one for myself, omg, hehehe Tim Holtz always says he has popcorn popping in his head and I can totally relate to that! :) Thank you so much for being here and watching my videos. :)
Wow! So beautiful. I love ur style of journal making. I struggle to make my journal covers. When u sew your covers do u sew the whole cover or do u sew just the front n back image and glue it to the front n back?. Thank u for sharing ur craft. I have learned so much and I have committed to really making my own journals in the new year. ❤❤
Thank you so much. For these ten journals I machine stitched through the cover and layers. You'll notice the gold thread on the outside and red on the inside cover. Though, I have in past journals machine stitched on the topper and have glued it down. I love either way. Thank you so much for being here and watching my videos.
Beautiful! Do you make each individually or do you make them more systematically where you are working on all 10 at once in chunks like covers, tassels, pages, etc.?
I do both but with these ten I began by creating all the covers at once, moved on to the selection of papers for the signatures and so on. The very last thing I do is flip through the journal pages several times and give them a personal touch by adding or changing up the embellishments. Thank you for asking/!
It is such a great stamp set. I've and affiliate link if you want more information... It's the Tim Holtz Bottle Brush Stamp Set: a.co/d/6hlH1Bf Thank you for asking. :)
I love these, perfect to make with scrap paper that I can't throw out
Yes, they are! :)
I love finding stationary in thrift stores ! It’s the best place to find recipe cards too
It really is!

These are very cute!
Thank you! 😊
Your work is amazing! Thanks for sharing your work. ❤
Thank you so much! 😊
I love your use of dies. I noticed them in the Christmas 2022 videos. It adds a touch of intricacy. And love the envelope as a tuck. Very innovative.
Thank you for noticing. I did use more die cuts in the 2022 journals but I will continue to add them in. 😊😁
First time here I love your Christmas junk journals❤️
Welcome!! Thank you for being here. :)
You have such great creativity. What wonderful journals full of lots of yummy. Thank you for sharing your artistic techniques
Thank you so much!
Awesome journals Lily! Love the set!

Beautiful journals! Thanks for sharing! I'm just like you and have to keep busy, or I will fall asleep, lol
You and me both! 😆😁😊
10!!! Wow I’m still trying to finish my día de los muertos junk journal 😱
I know, lol. I'm trying not to work in masses but then I just get carried away, lol. :)
These are so awesome 👌 ❤
Thank you so much!
love, love, love hearing your process from buying things to making things!! You are so talented!!
oh, I would love to see a flip thru of your personal journal too!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you. I will do a flip through. Most likely in January. :)
I will look forward to it!! Thanks!

Thank you so much! The reverse side of the square papers I used as tucks are blank on the opposite side and great for journaling spots. Thank you! :)
Hi Lily! These are just delightful! Hope your holiday is as fun and festive as you are!
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you as well. :)
