    Hi Pam! So enjoy your tutorials!! I was wondering if you could give us a minimal “travel craft tote” supply list for junk journaling to take on vacation. I always like to bring some projects for idle evenings or rainy days. But also thinking about packing limitations, I would appreciate your advice/list on what to bring as a minimum and maybe a couple add-ons, if space allows?Thanking you in advance!💗hugs for Sun-buns!!

    Poor bunny. So glad he won't need surgery. Wow! I had never heard of Sunny's breed before. I had thought he was a Maltese but he's so much more. And he is a darling boy. So happy for you all. I love how the cabochon or whatever came out so well. And the large one that caught bunny's fur is lovely. Can't wait to see how you use them both. Now back to the video....🥰 Wings of Wonder...I like that...what is it written on? It's very interesting. I love watching your videos... you are so interesting and funny. Love all the information you give us. Hi Sunny... so great to see you. Hope you had a fun outing with dad. 🥰. Thank you Pam. Sorry if I ramble, I have to make comments as it comes to me or I may forget, so I hop in and out. 🤪 Great chat today... as usual. 🥰👍🏻

    Good morning, Pam! I love your little scrap-using paperclip thingies. FYI, regarding resin: Gi Kerr at the Happiness in Crafting UA-cam channel has just begun to use the UV resin to make small charms and things for her "dingly danglies." If you have a chance, watch a couple of her videos to learn how it works. I think it's amazing, and doesn't seem to be very expensive.

    Very interesting to hear you tell about the different kinds of journals/diaries you have found, Pam! Speaking of the weather, I have really enjoyed writing a nature journal in which I write about the weather, birds, trees etc that come and go through the seasons. I think it will be interesting to read again someday. I put my thoughts and feelings in, but not too personal. I don't write pretty or draw like Edith, but I enjoy the process! I use the pretty bound journals that I had bought and collected for years. Haven't traveled as I thought I would! Travel in my microcosm here is good enough! 😊

    Pam, I figure this has been mentioned, but there are 2 types of resin used in crafting, primarily.
    Epoxy resin refers to 2 part resin that chemically cures. Different companies have different rates of curing, clarity, yellowing protection and fumes. Clear resin needs a fair amount of time, usually 24 hours, but 72 hours guarantees complete curing.
    UV resin is 1 part and curing by UV light. Generally, there are no fumes. Curing is generally 2 to 20 minutes.
    UV resin is pretty easy to get started in. You need the resin and a UV light. Most people find a UV nail lamp works for what they are doing.
    I think you could do amazing things with UV resin. I highly recommend looking at reviews of lamps. You need a fairly strong lamp (better than 40W) since you wiil be working mostly in things with sides (as opposed to silicon molds), but you don't want something that will burn you. Nail lamps are generally the best way to go since hands are supposed to sit under those lights. Hope this takes some of the nervousness out of resin.
    As always, I love your videos.

    Hello Pam! Not much time lately to craft, but I still watch you. I did make about 20 cool buttons a few days ago with you. My friction comes when sewing the binding and getting all the holes lined up...even with a template...and with getting the edges of pages lined up. I recently bought a good cutting mat with grid lines so I can try your ruler, Exacto knife method. Love you! Lorir6

    Because I was sick I was not in school for part of second to third grade. Three adults were my cohorts in crime, Pappy who taught me cursive and art and common sense, a librarian whose name I don’t remember, and Ms Morris, a lawyer. My first journal kept every day, dates from that year. It lists the weather, what chores I had to do that day with a check mark if I did them, and any visitors. I also had to draw something and copy a Bible verse or a prayer. I think it was because the pattern was set by the ladies of the Farmers Almanac.

    There are AB resins which are two part resins, either a 1:1 , 2:1 or sometimes 3:1 ratios. There is UV resin and that is perfect for the button/bezel applications. UV resin is light cured. You can get uv flashlights to use in curing. It usually take about a minute. AB resins require at least 24hrs to cure. There is also casting resin which cures quickly and is semi pliable, paintable and can be used in decorative molds

Look for information before jumping on it. I had a severe allergic reaction to it, unfortunately that's how I found out about it.
