You and Luise do an OUTSTANDING job putting Dephemerember together every year. Please don’t let ANYONE’s negative comments take away from what y’all do. Thank you for doing what y’all do. So many of us appreciate everything y’all do. EVERY. SINGLE. THING. Please don’t change a THING!!!
You guys do a great job every year,. I’m happy that you haven’t over complicated things,. I cannot even imagine the prep work that goes into all of this. And each video you record, wow. The time involved. Love you guys
I just want to say that, first and foremost, Dephemerember is special and unique in itself. I personally have looked forward to this event every year no matter what. Secondly, you have not only created prompts and prepared tirelessly, but have created a special song that can be downloaded, in addition to all the freebies, and have made special coffee mugs that can be purchased to add that extra special touch. So, don’t feel disheartened by one comment. There will always be at lease one ungrateful person expressing their disappointment for whatever reason. Maybe they had a bad day. Who knows? Regardless this is not the place to take their personal issues out. “It’s a shame “ they are ungrateful. You keep doing you because I know it’s not just me who looks forward to every single one of your videos! ❤❤❤❤ You do you. It’s your channel. Your content. Your creation. I am grateful for YOU. You are the gift that keeps on giving.🌸💕🎁🎈🎁❤️🌸
Love this! I am always surprised when people complain about those who do SO SO much for others and for free! Hopefully there are not many of them! Most of us love and appreciate you! I fel like you are a friend! xx
You two are incredibly talented and kind persons, I am so grateful for all you do and share with us. Saying that, I know how much work, thoughts, time and energy is needed, to present high quality content like Luise and you do. On the same time, it is impossible to please everyone. Hard to cope as perfectionists, right? But be sure, the majority of us simply loves what you do.
Please don’t let anyone bring you two down! I love your friendship as well as your co-creativity. So fun and inspiring. Thank you both for all that you do! ❤
From a fellow challenge host, I know just how much hard work, time and thought goes in behind the scenes to make everything run so smoothly! Well done ladies on an amazing event for the community 👏🏻👏🏻
What a crazy comment. I hope you both know how many of us love you so much and consider you both our friends...even if we've never spoken to each other. Speaking for myself, I come for the creativity, but I also come for the friendship and love and I've never learned from any other source as much as I've learned from the two of you ladies. Please continue to do Dephemerember, I've loved it each year, in every way you bring it to us. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I am sitting here in tears. I can't believe how ungrateful people can be for all the work you and Luise put in, not just for Dephemerember but in all the other videos and resources you create to inspire us. Please please don't lose heart. There are so many of us who truly appreciate and value your inspiration and the challenges you set to help us devlop. Thank you a million times.❤
The amount of work you both clearly put into the hosting of Dephemerember is really outstanding and much appreciated. I love your prompts and enjoy the freedom that comes with not adding more layers to the event. Thank you for your generosity and creativity - another beautifully unique ephemera ❤
I know you didn't want to say it, so I will. How ungrateful for people to complain. Every year is a treat to see what you guys are going to do. The videos are why we are here. This year, you made that winderful song that I now have memorized btw and sing during the day. Many of us appreciate all the work and effort you put in to make this time so much fun. ❤❤❤
I think this is my favorite prompt! I love you and Luise’s sisterhood in your JJ journey. It makes this so much more meaningful. I would love to have someone to share my love of JJ’ing with. Thank you for the freebies.
How fortunate you are to have all those lovely old photos of your parents and grandparents..such a treasure! And the journal you made for them is so perfect! And that cross-stitched banner is absolutely gorgeous!! As to your candid comments about all the hard work you and Louise put into Dephemerember…I completely agree…it’s got to be so time-consuming and I, for one, am so very appreciative. As this is my first time participating, I’m happy that the prompts are not too difficult. This makes it much easier for so many skill levels to participate. Thanks for all your efforts!😊
Honestly...can't people just watch the videos and enjoy, or watch something else!!! I just don't understand WHY everyone has to give negative input into EVERYTHING! Personally, I am very happy that you have gotten back to a basic theme (but I would still watch and enjoy whatever you put out!). You DO have extras because you have provided discounts, freebies and your personal IDEAS. Just delete that person and move on. There's plenty of us still here! Hugs from Texas.
Thank you for continuing Dephemerember for another year. I noticed so much more activity this year between people finding swap partners and participating for the first time. I'm glad they got the chance. I hope you don't let people's negative comments overshadow all the positive energy coming out of this event. I commented earlier in the month that I am really enjoying this year. I feel like you've finally figured out a perfect formula. I like the slightly more relaxed pace of only 4 projects a week and no gimmicks needed. Last year, although Ephy was popular, I also saw complaints that it was too childish...just showing you can't please everyone so just please yourselves. You're doing great and the majority do appreciate all you do. Just greatful to have this content and the prompts to craft along with.
Wonderful use of bag handle & slow stitching and incorporating foto to symbolize connection between you & Louise - goes to prove how incredible the work you both do to bring us the joy of Dephebetember!!
I appreciate the "real talk" because as a retired teacher, I know how many hours I've put into a creative assignment for my students. I am happy with these prompts in terms of their eclectic nature. There were some I didn't like, but they forced me to stretch my imagination. I'm one of the people who didn't like the added animals and Ephy, but that didn't stop me from doing my own thing. For this year's Dephemerember, My journal is a 45 year old menu from a famous Boston restaurant, and if my end result doesn't fit in there, I've turned the prompt into a card for someone's birthday or just for correspondence. Don't ever feel your work/time goes unnoticed. I've even asked Luise if she sleeps because I don't see how she finds time for two videos. Thank you for your time and effort not to mention your creativity.
This is my first dephemerember and my first anniversary of making junk journals, so I'm glad there is no extras. You guys put a lot into dephemerember as it is before it even begins and then doing daily videos on top of Christmas. I appreciate and admire what both of you have done. Love the frame idea.
I'm so sorry that someone gave you an ungrateful comment. I so appreciate all the work you and Luise put in to making Dephemerember fun for us all ❤❤❤ Your cross stitched piece is gorgeous! ❤
I like the style of this year more because you and Louise spend your time teaching us new techniques and styles etc. I love seeing more crafting and less on snacks or the character you had last year. It shows how much time you put into planning and I really appreciate it.
Barbara, the level of professionalism in yours and Luise's tutorials has honestly raised the bar for all content creators. You teach new concepts, you encourage us to push our own creative limits, you infuse the videos with humor and endearing styles. You guys even have original theme songs!!! I am a better artist because of you and Luise. I can't fathom complaining about anything, especially when it is free to consume. Do not allow the negative minority to cast any kind of shadow on your amazing collaboration. You are both fabulous and enrich our lives.
I’m frustrated for you that someone would complain about not being given enough by you and Luise. You give so much of yourselves for months to provide us with a very special creative bonding time. I don’t have a printer but I see many, many artists using your discounted papers and freebies every day. Seriously, negative person. You need to be grateful and get a clue. Most of us just love all that you do to inspire us with Dephemerember. 🤗🇨🇦🤗
I am sorry other people can't keep their crabby comments to their selves, it is rude, the other word you were looking for. I appreciate that you did not include any other "things" to this years Dephemerember. Thank you so much for all the work you two do for us, most of us really appreciate all you do! 😍
Morning Barbauise, There is a saying "Variety is the Spice of Life", and this Decemberember (thats wrong) has been super fun and made us use our little grey cells. One or two I found impossible to fathom out for myself, so I adapted it to what I thought it meant to me. I do wish "some people" would realize how priviledged we are to have the two of you, the hard work that went into this wonderful basket of surprises and challenges. It must have taken months of hard work, planning, doing the ephemera and giving us such a lovely feeling of expectation. Please don't let some Mother Grundies spoil all that has been done, there are sooooooo many of us who appreciate the time, work and the brain storming it must have taken. All I can say is "Well Done Girls, you both give us soooo much, you are stars." Keep on being you and we will follow. If you (this is to the Mother Grundies) do not approve or like this happy time and place, PLEASE find someone else to follow and critize. Sending you Barbara and Luise an ENORMOUS THANK YOU, love you girls, keep on inspiring us and for being authentic . As always, sending you many Blessings and HUGE HUGS from Cape Town. Diana (Sorry for the length of this epistle!!!!! 😂😂) 🤗🐱🐱🦊🦊
So thankful for all the work you ladies have put into this videos and for nothing in return to you two., people that are ungrateful do not belong in this group it is not fair to Louisa and you. Thank you so much for all you do.
I look forward to Dephemerember all year and i appreciate EVERYTHING you and Luise do to make it special. Let your light shine in this dark and dreary time for so many of us. I love you guys!
I enjoy the diversity you and Luise provide us from year to year. I can’t imagine how much work it takes to give us such an exciting Dephemerember every year. Thank you!
Your explanation of your reasons for doing the prompts like you two did was perfect! Trying to please everyone is impossible! As you say, ‘you do you’! That should be all you need to say. Thanks for all you two do! ❤
Barbara, as I write this comment to you, I’m also talking to myself… it just doesn’t seem to matter what or how we do a thing, there often times is someone who doesn’t like what we’ve said or done! That’s just ‘life’! Isn’t it strange how we always notice, and give such great weight to those negative-type comments, when we might have been given dozens and dozens (and in your case hundreds & hundreds) of positive comments and feedback! I’m glad you removed this comment from your platform… now I hope you can remove it from your memory! You and Luise go to such great lengths, and spend so much time, to be so inclusive, and make your videos fun for everyone! No simple task! You both are so kind, so talented, and so giving to share yourselves with all of us. Please, PLEASE realize…we LOVE you girls!!!! ❤❤
I just love that you used the picture of you two in the prompt. Your friendship is so special and the way you two interact in the videos makes your viewers feel like they are a part of it!
This is my first year to participate in Dephemerember. I am so appreciative of the work you and Luise have put into making such a fun challenge for us all. So much preparation, so many videos and inspiration, freebies, and so much fun. I cannot even imagine why anyone would complain about something they don’t even have to do in the first place! That just blows my mind. I figured out from the beginning you can make this as simple or as challenging as you want. There aren’t any Dephemerember police! I mean, we even got a song!! Thank you. Thank you and Luise so very much. I, for one, am enjoying every minute.❤
Please no need to explain or excuse your are doing a massive job and you do it all with love. Makes me sad that anyone takes their time to write negative. So unnecessary. I appreciate both of you ❤
O Barbara, I was just thinking the opposite, I’m quite enjoying the crafting videos, stand alone! Ephy’s been in my Dephemerember journal from day 1 but not every day!!! Try not to listen to the haters!!! What about the freebies??? & discounts!!
Thank you for firmly, but kindly defending what you do. It is clearly an extraordinary amount of work, and 99.9% of us are grateful and inspired by both of you as you share your gifts. Blessings!!
Barbara & Luise - i have a friend who's favorite sayings is "opinions are like a** h***s, everyone has one." That includes me with this comment. But it's apparent how much work put into Dephemerember. I, and many others, appreciate and look forward to Dephemerember all year long! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! As for the criticism? Sing "Let it go" to yourself as often as needed. Muwah! Muwah!
You are right. It is not just prompts. It is a sisterhood. A heart warming community coming together to be creative. It brings tears to my eyes, knowing someone was so hurtful. But…grace-none of us are perfect. So it was very kind of you to delete the comment so no one else had to see it and get angry or sad.
It always amazes me when people are critical of the free content on you tube. In my view, the response is gratitude, always. We might be interested or not but if I have nothing nice to say I will not leave a comment. So thank you Barbara and Louisa. Your videos are a really nice part of my days this December. I see all the work you have put in and I appreciate it. Wonderful job 🎉
This year's Dephemerember is so far my favourite. Firstly, I really appreciate that you released the prompts so early. It really gave me a chance to start crafting and not feel under self-imposed pressure of falling "behind". Your and Luise's videos are so rich with inspiration, new ideas🥰 and everything is given so generously. 🙏🌻🌻💛💛👩🏼🎨👩🎨
Are you kidding me? This is an abundant, generous Decemberember! Thank you so much for the many freebies and the heartfelt original song. Your creativity and variety shine through. You are loved AND appreciated, Nanc
Barbara: It is so difficult to please everyone. And I the freedom to focus on the prompt without extras and make the journal into a memory keeper of family and etc. As you and Luise have pointed out Dephemerember is for support of others struggling during December. And this year is difficult for me as have two critically ill family members and Dephemerember is serving me as it is intended. Giving me something that I love doing to focus on and to be a part of the fun in creating. So thank you for all the hard work and time you have both put in. I know you spend many many hours working out all the details for us. hope you don't get discouraged. I for one love Dephemerember. As a matter of fact I have lieral withdrawals 😂😂😂 after the Dephemerember videos end wanting more and waiting to watch them...I just hate when it's over. Lol. Keep doing you. We love you and Luise ❤❤
Personally I'm grateful for all the work you have done for all of us to benefit from. I have put together online lesson before and they take a lot of time and effort. I like the balance between having parameters and freedom you have created. It's interesting that you both made frames. I would call it hand stitching.
I can’t imagine how much time and effort went into Dephemerember. It takes so long to plan and make UA-cam videos. You have discounts and freebies and even a professional song! Sometimes people don’t realize how much work goes into an event like this. I’m sure the person who left you the comment didn’t realize that. I understand how much it hurts to receive a comment that seems to undermine your effort, but I know that most people don’t feel that way. As hard as it is, try not to let that one comment make you sad. You, Luisa, and Dephemerember are so deeply loved! ❤❤❤
I’m outraged on your behalf!! How dare someone criticize you after all the work and thought and care you’ve put into Dephemerember. Most of us see your incredible effort and thoughtfulness and appreciate you and Luise so so much. I look forward to Dephemerember all year long and it provides me with so much inspiration. Thank you so much to both you and Luise for your incredible gifts and kindness😊💜💜💜
You must know that we appreciate and love all of your efforts to make journaling fun for us. No matter what there will always be the nay/sayer, the “but” person. Ignore them. Much easier said than done, I know, the one negative remark weighs heavier than the many positive shares. We love you.
I’m always sad when creators have to defend or explain their ideas/content because of comments. We, as viewers always have the choice to move on without being negative in any way. Thank you both for all of your hard work and the wonderful goodies! Don’t let anyone dim your light!
I get not having a theme... it's superfun and makes things cohesive but it can be restricting at the same time. I love Ephy, he was great last year. His cameo this year is fun 😊 I enjoyed both. One is always free to incorporate him or other themes on own accord... let one's own imagination and creativity run free, you 2 ladies are facilitating a springboard for creative fun and connection, that's how I see it. With or without this "extra", so much work and efforts go into this... for many it will not be unnoticed. I dont craft along the prompts itself but the almost daily dose of vids I look forward to and it inspires me in my own crafts for sure (I recently finally made a soft fabric cover ringbinder journal and love it to bits while creating it was so much fun!). Dephemerember makes my already cosy Dec extra cosy. So thank you Luise and Barabara for creating something so special for the crafting community to close out the year with ❤️
Another FABULOUS Dephemerember! Also a GREAT explanation based on your THOUGHTFUL considerations. Just a shame you needed to inform anyone about your thoughtfulness! GASLIGHTING is what you call such CRASS comments! Neither you, nor Louise, deserve such POOR treatment. You two ladies are fabulous, funny and extremely generous with your time and your talents. You did well to remove such rubbish comments from your video, now delete them from your mind! Fill your mind and heart with the same joy with which you fill our hearts! I’m late to the ‘party’ this year but will definitely be catching up on what delight I have missed. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you Barbara and Louise and may2025 be a wonderful year for your both. 🎄🎊🥳🍻🎉🪅🎁🎈🎄 🦘🐨🇦🇺 😊
I can tell you that I personally did not participate last year because as cute as Ephy is he did not appeal to my particular journaling style. Neither did the animals for that matter I believe you guys made the correct decision and I am enjoying it this year. You are never going to please everyone but those who truly appreciate you as an artist should be totally satisfied but just watching you create.
Barbara don’t forget about the heart felt special song you and Luise have put together for us all to share enjoy… I know from watching your videos I have made lovely gifts for others that has brighten not only my days but also others. Greatly appreciate all the work you two craft sisters put together for the enjoyment of taking part in myself and other crafters ❤❤❤
Plus oh my goodness you wrote a song this year!! I love the prompt list and the mood set by the music. My husband passed away from young onset Alzheimer’s this spring, it’s been a difficult year and your videos have really helped me get through tough days. I’ve been looking forward to Dephemberember and am using the prompts to assemble a memory book for my children. I tried earlier this summer but it wasn’t til this month with the beautiful song and the very relateable prompts that I’ve been able to begin the book of my dear one. Thank you so much.
Please do not change anything about Dephemerember. The four videos each week are so soothing and relaxing and I look forward to each of them. Dephemerember this year is unforgettable for me.
Don't listen to them!! This is my first time, and I think you and Luise have so much talent❤! Your videos are incredible, and your beautiful song( that plays in my head even after I've watched your videos). You've given us a whole lot more than just videos.😍 I'm a forever subscriber.
Thank you for trusting us to share with, your thoughts and concerns. You will never please everyone 100% of the time. Good for you for deleting the comment. Thank you and Luisa for all of your hard work!❤
Thank you, Barbara, for this video. I think you and Louisa do a fabulous job of creating this fun Dephemerember prompt list each year. Woo hoo!🥳🥳What a shame that some people are so ungrateful and would actually take the time to show their 🫏 in public.🙄 Don't be giving this negative talk one more ounce of your energy, dear Barbara! You are a bright and shiny star in our world, and we are all so grateful for the love that you put into your art and share with us!❤❤🥰 and of course, that goes for you too, Louisa! Sending much aloha to you both today!✨️🌺🙋♀️
Dephemerember totally rocks! I’d never watched it before and I love it. You and Luisa are so generous, it’s so fun to watch, and it’s so unifying for our community. I love it and I want to thank you for all the hard work you guys put into it. I love the transparency print!
Ich bin der Meinung, dass ihr euch auch dieses Jahr wieder wahnsinnig viel Mühe gebt mit der Aktion! Außerdem habt ihr sehr viele Freebies, die man nutzen kann, wenn man mag. Ich finde auch, dass ihr durch weniger Vorgaben, wie z.B. Tiere oder Ephy usw., die Aktion dieses Jahr noch viel offener gestaltet habt! Ich persönlich finde das super, Vorgaben schränken Kreativität immer ein. Noch einmal herzlichen Dank für eure Mühen und die vielen Videos. Die Kritiker sind garantiert einzelne, denkt immer daran! Also lasst euch nicht ärgern, einzelne Kritiker gibt es immer… Eure Community hat großen Spaß an der Aktion. Herzlichen Dank an dieser Stelle dafür! Dein Fotorahmen ist super schön geworden, eine tolle Idee mit der transparenten Folie! 💚 Liebe Grüße Nicole
I want to say that I am thankful not only for Dephemerember but for all you and Luise do all year long to inspire and encourage creativity. In terms of the comment you received I hope you will take away the person's appreciation for the "extras" of the years past and assume that the implied part of the message related to "just prompts" was unintentional. What you and Luise do for us is amazing on all accounts and the fact that you do it for free is mind blowing to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your authenticity as a creator.
Hi Barbara, from the moment I saw you using bag handles they became a favorite of mine to add in my pages. I just need to have at least one in each signature. Framing them is a cute way to use also. Thank you!!! b 🦋
I really appreciate your honesty and openness! When you and Luise talk from the heart it makes the whole experience of junk journaling feel like a community rather than a teaching session. I have been watching your Dephemerember series for 4 years now, and I feel that each year is unique in itself, and the different approaches each year make it fun. It's an adventure to discover new ideas and new ways of doing junk journaling! To you and Luise: keep up the great work! 😃
Wow! I’m surprised about the critical comment because I love the fact that you come up with new ways to challenge and entertain us. Personally, I’m not a cartoonish person so wasn’t Effie’s fan so I left Effie out of my own book while I continued to learn and try your techniques. Go with the flow people! Barbara and Luise work hard for us!
Ultimately, it’s your and Luise’s challenge. You do the work putting it all together, it’s your baby. We watch your videos for you, not the extra stuff. People think they are so entitled. And you do too have something extra! The song!
Love this. If you did the same thing every year for Dephemerember it would get boring. Love that you change it up, keeps the excitement up. And it needs to be said yet again- this adds so much fun to a month that can be difficult for me and many others. Thank you so much for working so hard with Luise on this collab for us. Happy holiday!
Thank you so much for all of your hard work (and Luise's)! I can only imagine how much thought and planning goes into making this month long event for your channels. With snacks, without snacks, with animals, without animals, I really appreciate the creativity, positivity, and heart and soul that goes into this. 💕
This is my first Dephemerember and I’m blown away by the thoughtfulness, time spent and attention to detail that you both have put into this! You cannot please everyone! You both are amazing!
Haters are gonna hate. The fact that you felt it necessary to "rant" saddens me because you never should have to be put in that position. And the majority of us DO recognize all your efforts and look forward each of your videos. My only gripe is that there's only 4 a week lol. Cause i want MORE! And anyway, you did give us a song that i find myself singing while I'm fixing dinner or just going about my day in addition to the cute coffee mugs. Dont lose any sleep over this. We love you and your ideas are airways inspiring. And my favorite videos were you working on that gator mouth. That's when i fell in love with you. Lol. ❤😂😊
Barbara, I so appreciate all you and Luise do for us each December and also all year long! I know the work and thought you two ladies have put into this Dephemerember each year and what fun it is to watch. Also what a gorgeous piece of stitchery you did. I used to do stitching as well. Actually I still have a few kits I never started. One day I will LOL. I remember watching you with the other journals you showed. And yes your Mom was beautiful and you look just like her. You are beautiful inside and out Dear Barbara! Thanks again for all that you and Luise do. TFS! ❤❤
Oh, Barbara, this is so so sweet and your friendship with Luise so very special! Don’t listen to the whiners - you can’t please everyone!!! Much love and praise for an amazing Dephemerember 2024❤❤❤❤❤❤
The friendship between you and Louisa is special. Being able to accept and embrace each other‘s differences and to learn from them will keep you friends forever ! My wish is that all of us can find a friendship like yours.
I’ve loved each Dephemerember and wouldn’t change any of them one bit. Both you and Luise do an amazing job, creating magical art that inspires everyone from around the globe!! Thankyou for all you bring to us…. This paper bag handle frame was gorgeous!! Thanx again x❤
You & Louise did a lot this year with so many freebies and discounts, plus the lovely song. Don't let negative comments get to you, you can't please everyone, especially when you're already working so hard to successfully put forward great videos❣️
I am really thankful for this year not having as many challenges. I have watched previous years and this is my first time participating and it has been a very enjoyable experience. I am not overwhelmed and I have been able to keep up. Thank you for all you do. I love all your videos. ❤️
There is always someone in the crowd that complains. Just take it in stride and know the rest of us adore what you and Luisa have put your hearts into making Dephemerember for us! Each year is so fun and special. I, for one, like the little break between the weeks this year. I can actually keep up!😂❤ Thank you for everything!!!!!
Hallo Barbara, läßt Euch nicht beeinflussen von negativen Kommenten. Ihr macht so eine tolle Aktion, die viel Spaß macht, und von Allen auf Ihre persönliche Art umgesetzt werden kann. Ich habe immer noch viel Spaß mein Ergebnis vom letzten Jahr anzuschauen und kann jetzt meine Entwicklung bis zu diesen Jahr sehen. Du hast diesen Promt wieder super umgesetzt🤩. Auf die Idee mit dem Rahmen wäre ich nie gekommen. Macht genauso weiter wie bisher, liebe Grüße Susanne aus Kamen
Remember that in life " you can please some of the people some of the time BUT you can't please all of the people all of time"... do what makes YOUR heart sing!!! ....
I am enjoying this year. You started early with making the journal and trading journals or scraps. You are both doing so much. I enjoy the community and the support you give to use. Thank you both. The details you have attended to is much appreciated❤❤❤ And the Dephemerember song too!!! I love this project!
You ladies gave us the cutest song that I cannot get out of my head, the comment isn’t really fair! I respect everyone’s feedback, but don’t let any negativity get to you! You ladies are so amazing! Thank you both for everything! Hugs! ❤️❤️❤️
I think that it's wonderful that you both find the time to organize Dephemerember! I've printed all the years so I can use them the whole year rond. Thank you for organising a nother year and I hope you will keep on goiing with Dephemerember ❤!
I think it's very interesting to use things in the videos that characterize the countries of some of the participants. Folklore festivals, for example. Here and in Venice we have masks and costumes. In the Americas there are several interesting foods, such as guaca mole, and sweets, such as Paçoca, lol.😂
Love your passion and how much work you put in each year for this event. I know those freebies don’t just appear out of the blue and that you put hours of work thinking of all of us in this community. Thank you! 😊
😂😂😂 first comment: you’re hilarious 😂 I am tickled by the paper bag handle chronicles between you and Luise. That, and the curved and squishy vs straight and firm spine debate. It’s an ongoing friendly feud between y’all that I love to witness. It was so funny when she started a count for every time she mentioned “Thank you for nothing Barbara” 🤣🤣🤣
I loved all the symbolism in this creation and the different aspects of making it. This year's ephemera has been my favorite by far mostly because you two and the format is more laid back, calm, and really excellent pages or elements are being made. I feel calmer than usual watching you and calmer is much needed right now. I've learned things i will use going forward. Your friendship is always a pleasure to be around. i appreciate all the work you both put into this event each year. it's very unique in all ways. Thank you, love you guys! big smack sound goes here :)
Love that embroidery! The paper bag frame is beautiful. Barbara, that was NOT a rant. I've experienced a you tube rant: it was confrontational, accusing, over the top. You were even toned and presented facts ( we appreciate). Love your always respectful demeanor. I always look forward to your videos!❤❤😊
Last year was the first year I watched Dephemerember and sort of fell in love with Ephy. This year I am watching again and enjoying the generic prompts because they allow me to add whomever or whatever I choose in my projects. Ephy peeks out of some of my projects, but also there are some where Ephy isn't even a thought. I like the format this year especially 'cause most of my crafting supplies are stuck in my storage unit as my move from Georgia to Michigan isn't quite complete. I live in my sons living room and as such I have limited myself to as small a stash as I can survive with so that my sons family can enjoy their space even though I am in it too.
Very cool idea to make a frame with handles....my hubby has been in and out of the hospital for the past year and my crafting time has been eliminated but when I can grab a coffee I watch one of you talented ladies. Love your cross stitch piece....beautiful 💙 You and Louisa are very blessed to have found such a special friendship 😊 Both of you have beautiful hearts ❤❤
I think what you guys have this year is enough! I could be wrong, but it seems you both have more freebies this year. I personally would rather a freebie that can be used on a particular prompt like shown in the video than an overall themed item (the animals or Effy) or watching you all eat snacks. I do love how each year there's something different and we never know what the plan is for that year, its a great surprise. This is my 4th year doing dephemerember. I haven't been disappointed! 💜
Thank you for the hard work and dedication you and Luise put into each Dephemerember. We see the perseverance and effort you put into coming up with fresh ideas, freebies, discounts, and more. Thank you for being so inclusive and taking as much as possible into consideration for each prompt. We appreciate you both 💗
You and Luise do an OUTSTANDING job putting Dephemerember together every year. Please don’t let ANYONE’s negative comments take away from what y’all do. Thank you for doing what y’all do. So many of us appreciate everything y’all do. EVERY. SINGLE. THING. Please don’t change a THING!!!
Aaaaaw thank you! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
I so agree! I see how much work you do and I am full of admiration ❤️🙏🏼
Well said, I totally agree! I've loved ever minute❤
Totallly agree. You do not know how relaxing Dephemerember has been for me this month
You guys do a great job every year,. I’m happy that you haven’t over complicated things,. I cannot even imagine the prep work that goes into all of this. And each video you record, wow. The time involved. Love you guys
I just want to say that, first and foremost, Dephemerember is special and unique in itself. I personally have looked forward to this event every year no matter what. Secondly, you have not only created prompts and prepared tirelessly, but have created a special song that can be downloaded, in addition to all the freebies, and have made special coffee mugs that can be purchased to add that extra special touch. So, don’t feel disheartened by one comment. There will always be at lease one ungrateful person expressing their disappointment for whatever reason. Maybe they had a bad day. Who knows? Regardless this is not the place to take their personal issues out. “It’s a shame “ they are ungrateful. You keep doing you because I know it’s not just me who looks forward to every single one of your videos! ❤❤❤❤ You do you. It’s your channel. Your content. Your creation. I am grateful for YOU. You are the gift that keeps on giving.🌸💕🎁🎈🎁❤️🌸
Aaaaw thank you! I’m grateful for you! ❤️☺️🙏🏻
Love this! I am always surprised when people complain about those who do SO SO much for others and for free! Hopefully there are not many of them! Most of us love and appreciate you! I fel like you are a friend! xx
You two are incredibly talented and kind persons, I am so grateful for all you do and share with us. Saying that, I know how much work, thoughts, time and energy is needed, to present high quality content like Luise and you do. On the same time, it is impossible to please everyone. Hard to cope as perfectionists, right? But be sure, the majority of us simply loves what you do.
Thank you! 🙏🏻❤️
Please don’t let anyone bring you two down! I love your friendship as well as your co-creativity. So fun and inspiring. Thank you both for all that you do! ❤
From a fellow challenge host, I know just how much hard work, time and thought goes in behind the scenes to make everything run so smoothly! Well done ladies on an amazing event for the community 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks so much, dear Meg! 🙏🏻❤️
What a crazy comment. I hope you both know how many of us love you so much and consider you both our friends...even if we've never spoken to each other. Speaking for myself, I come for the creativity, but I also come for the friendship and love and I've never learned from any other source as much as I've learned from the two of you ladies. Please continue to do Dephemerember, I've loved it each year, in every way you bring it to us. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Thank YOU! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
I am sitting here in tears. I can't believe how ungrateful people can be for all the work you and Luise put in, not just for Dephemerember but in all the other videos and resources you create to inspire us. Please please don't lose heart. There are so many of us who truly appreciate and value your inspiration and the challenges you set to help us devlop. Thank you a million times.❤
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻❤️
Genau was ich sagen wollte ❤.
Unmöglich was Menschen sich erlauben zu schreiben. Bussi aus dem Allgäu ❤
Don’t worry about the negative there are always some unhappy people. This is the first year I’ve watched and I’m so in awe of you both
The amount of work you both clearly put into the hosting of Dephemerember is really outstanding and much appreciated. I love your prompts and enjoy the freedom that comes with not adding more layers to the event. Thank you for your generosity and creativity - another beautifully unique ephemera ❤
Thanks so much! ❤️
I know you didn't want to say it, so I will. How ungrateful for people to complain. Every year is a treat to see what you guys are going to do. The videos are why we are here. This year, you made that winderful song that I now have memorized btw and sing during the day. Many of us appreciate all the work and effort you put in to make this time so much fun. ❤❤❤
I think this is my favorite prompt! I love you and Luise’s sisterhood in your JJ journey. It makes this so much more meaningful. I would love to have someone to share my love of JJ’ing with. Thank you for the freebies.
How fortunate you are to have all those lovely old photos of your parents and grandparents..such a treasure! And the journal you made for them is so perfect! And that cross-stitched banner is absolutely gorgeous!! As to your candid comments about all the hard work you and Louise put into Dephemerember…I completely agree…it’s got to be so time-consuming and I, for one, am so very appreciative. As this is my first time participating, I’m happy that the prompts are not too difficult. This makes it much easier for so many skill levels to participate. Thanks for all your efforts!😊
I can't imagine why someone would criticize what the 2 of you create in Dephemerember. I think you 2 do an absolutely amazing job. End of story.
Honestly...can't people just watch the videos and enjoy, or watch something else!!! I just don't understand WHY everyone has to give negative input into EVERYTHING! Personally, I am very happy that you have gotten back to a basic theme (but I would still watch and enjoy whatever you put out!). You DO have extras because you have provided discounts, freebies and your personal IDEAS. Just delete that person and move on. There's plenty of us still here! Hugs from Texas.
Thank you for continuing Dephemerember for another year. I noticed so much more activity this year between people finding swap partners and participating for the first time. I'm glad they got the chance. I hope you don't let people's negative comments overshadow all the positive energy coming out of this event. I commented earlier in the month that I am really enjoying this year. I feel like you've finally figured out a perfect formula. I like the slightly more relaxed pace of only 4 projects a week and no gimmicks needed. Last year, although Ephy was popular, I also saw complaints that it was too childish...just showing you can't please everyone so just please yourselves. You're doing great and the majority do appreciate all you do. Just greatful to have this content and the prompts to craft along with.
Thank you! 🙏🏻❤️
You both do an amazing job and we appreciate all your work. I like that you change it up each year.
Wonderful use of bag handle & slow stitching and incorporating foto to symbolize connection between you & Louise - goes to prove how incredible the work you both do to bring us the joy of Dephebetember!!
I appreciate the "real talk" because as a retired teacher, I know how many hours I've put into a creative assignment for my students. I am happy with these prompts in terms of their eclectic nature. There were some I didn't like, but they forced me to stretch my imagination. I'm one of the people who didn't like the added animals and Ephy, but that didn't stop me from doing my own thing. For this year's Dephemerember, My journal is a 45 year old menu from a famous Boston restaurant, and if my end result doesn't fit in there, I've turned the prompt into a card for someone's birthday or just for correspondence. Don't ever feel your work/time goes unnoticed. I've even asked Luise if she sleeps because I don't see how she finds time for two videos. Thank you for your time and effort not to mention your creativity.
Thanks so much Sharon! 🙏🏻❤️
This is my first dephemerember and my first anniversary of making junk journals, so I'm glad there is no extras. You guys put a lot into dephemerember as it is before it even begins and then doing daily videos on top of Christmas. I appreciate and admire what both of you have done. Love the frame idea.
Thanks so much ❤️
I'm so sorry that someone gave you an ungrateful comment. I so appreciate all the work you and Luise put in to making Dephemerember fun for us all ❤❤❤ Your cross stitched piece is gorgeous! ❤
I like the style of this year more because you and Louise spend your time teaching us new techniques and styles etc. I love seeing more crafting and less on snacks or the character you had last year. It shows how much time you put into planning and I really appreciate it.
Barbara, the level of professionalism in yours and Luise's tutorials has honestly raised the bar for all content creators. You teach new concepts, you encourage us to push our own creative limits, you infuse the videos with humor and endearing styles. You guys even have original theme songs!!!
I am a better artist because of you and Luise. I can't fathom complaining about anything, especially when it is free to consume.
Do not allow the negative minority to cast any kind of shadow on your amazing collaboration. You are both fabulous and enrich our lives.
Aaaaaw thank you! So kind!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I’m frustrated for you that someone would complain about not being given enough by you and Luise. You give so much of yourselves for months to provide us with a very special creative bonding time. I don’t have a printer but I see many, many artists using your discounted papers and freebies every day. Seriously, negative person. You need to be grateful and get a clue. Most of us just love all that you do to inspire us with Dephemerember. 🤗🇨🇦🤗
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻❤️
I am sorry other people can't keep their crabby comments to their selves, it is rude, the other word you were looking for. I appreciate that you did not include any other "things" to this years Dephemerember. Thank you so much for all the work you two do for us, most of us really appreciate all you do! 😍
Morning Barbauise, There is a saying "Variety is the Spice of Life", and this Decemberember (thats wrong) has been super fun and made us use our little grey cells. One or two I found impossible to fathom out for myself, so I adapted it to what I thought it meant to me. I do wish "some people" would realize how priviledged we are to have the two of you, the hard work that went into this wonderful basket of surprises and challenges. It must have taken months of hard work, planning, doing the ephemera and giving us such a lovely feeling of expectation. Please don't let some Mother Grundies spoil all that has been done, there are sooooooo many of us who appreciate the time, work and the brain storming it must have taken. All I can say is "Well Done Girls, you both give us soooo much, you are stars." Keep on being you and we will follow. If you (this is to the Mother Grundies) do not approve or like this happy time and place, PLEASE find someone else to follow and critize. Sending you Barbara and Luise an ENORMOUS THANK YOU, love you girls, keep on inspiring us and for being authentic . As always, sending you many Blessings and HUGE HUGS from Cape Town. Diana (Sorry for the length of this epistle!!!!! 😂😂) 🤗🐱🐱🦊🦊
Thank you so much, Diana! ❤️❤️❤️
So thankful for all the work you ladies have put into this videos and for nothing in return to you two., people that are ungrateful do not belong in this group it is not fair to Louisa and you. Thank you so much for all you do.
I look forward to Dephemerember all year and i appreciate EVERYTHING you and Luise do to make it special. Let your light shine in this dark and dreary time for so many of us. I love you guys!
I enjoy the diversity you and Luise provide us from year to year. I can’t imagine how much work it takes to give us such an exciting Dephemerember every year. Thank you!
Your explanation of your reasons for doing the prompts like you two did was perfect! Trying to please everyone is impossible! As you say, ‘you do you’! That should be all you need to say. Thanks for all you two do! ❤
And besides all that!……..what about that wonderful song you gave us!? Was that not an extra?
Barbara, as I write this comment to you, I’m also talking to myself… it just doesn’t seem to matter what or how we do a thing, there often times is someone who doesn’t like what we’ve said or done! That’s just ‘life’! Isn’t it strange how we always notice, and give such great weight to those negative-type comments, when we might have been given dozens and dozens (and in your case hundreds & hundreds) of positive comments and feedback! I’m glad you removed this comment from your platform… now I hope you can remove it from your memory! You and Luise go to such great lengths, and spend so much time, to be so inclusive, and make your videos fun for everyone! No simple task! You both are so kind, so talented, and so giving to share yourselves with all of us. Please, PLEASE realize…we LOVE you girls!!!!
❤❤
Thank you so much! ❤️🙏🏻
I just love that you used the picture of you two in the prompt. Your friendship is so special and the way you two interact in the videos makes your viewers feel like they are a part of it!
This is my first year to participate in Dephemerember. I am so appreciative of the work you and Luise have put into making such a fun challenge for us all. So much preparation, so many videos and inspiration, freebies, and so much fun. I cannot even imagine why anyone would complain about something they don’t even have to do in the first place! That just blows my mind. I figured out from the beginning you can make this as simple or as challenging as you want. There aren’t any Dephemerember police! I mean, we even got a song!! Thank you. Thank you and Luise so very much. I, for one, am enjoying every minute.❤
Thanks so much! 🙏🏻❤️
Please no need to explain or excuse your are doing a massive job and you do it all with love. Makes me sad that anyone takes their time to write negative. So unnecessary. I appreciate both of you ❤
O Barbara, I was just thinking the opposite, I’m quite enjoying the crafting videos, stand alone! Ephy’s been in my Dephemerember journal from day 1 but not every day!!! Try not to listen to the haters!!!
What about the freebies??? & discounts!!
Thank you for firmly, but kindly defending what you do. It is clearly an extraordinary amount of work, and 99.9% of us are grateful and inspired by both of you as you share your gifts. Blessings!!
Barbara & Luise - i have a friend who's favorite sayings is "opinions are like a** h***s, everyone has one." That includes me with this comment. But it's apparent how much work put into Dephemerember. I, and many others, appreciate and look forward to Dephemerember all year long! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
As for the criticism? Sing "Let it go" to yourself as often as needed.
Muwah! Muwah!
You are right. It is not just prompts. It is a sisterhood. A heart warming community coming together to be creative.
It brings tears to my eyes, knowing someone was so hurtful.
But…grace-none of us are perfect. So it was very kind of you to delete the comment so no one else had to see it and get angry or sad.
It always amazes me when people are critical of the free content on you tube. In my view, the response is gratitude, always. We might be interested or not but if I have nothing nice to say I will not leave a comment.
So thank you Barbara and Louisa. Your videos are a really nice part of my days this December. I see all the work you have put in and I appreciate it. Wonderful job 🎉
This year's Dephemerember is so far my favourite. Firstly, I really appreciate that you released the prompts so early. It really gave me a chance to start crafting and not feel under self-imposed pressure of falling "behind". Your and Luise's videos are so rich with inspiration, new ideas🥰 and everything is given so generously.
🙏🌻🌻💛💛👩🏼🎨👩🎨
Thanks so much! 🙏🏻❤️
Are you kidding me? This is an abundant, generous Decemberember! Thank you so much for the many freebies and the heartfelt original song. Your creativity and variety shine through. You are loved AND appreciated, Nanc
Thank you! I appreciate you ❤️🙏🏻
Barbara: It is so difficult to please everyone. And I the freedom to focus on the prompt without extras and make the journal into a memory keeper of family and etc. As you and Luise have pointed out Dephemerember is for support of others struggling during December. And this year is difficult for me as have two critically ill family members and Dephemerember is serving me as it is intended. Giving me something that I love doing to focus on and to be a part of the fun in creating. So thank you for all the hard work and time you have both put in. I know you spend many many hours working out all the details for us. hope you don't get discouraged. I for one love Dephemerember. As a matter of fact I have lieral withdrawals 😂😂😂 after the Dephemerember videos end wanting more and waiting to watch them...I just hate when it's over. Lol. Keep doing you. We love you and Luise ❤❤
Thank you do much got your kind feedback ❤️. Sending love and hoping your family members will be ok ❤️
@49dragonflies ❤️
Personally I'm grateful for all the work you have done for all of us to benefit from. I have put together online lesson before and they take a lot of time and effort. I like the balance between having parameters and freedom you have created. It's interesting that you both made frames. I would call it hand stitching.
I can’t imagine how much time and effort went into Dephemerember. It takes so long to plan and make UA-cam videos. You have discounts and freebies and even a professional song! Sometimes people don’t realize how much work goes into an event like this. I’m sure the person who left you the comment didn’t realize that. I understand how much it hurts to receive a comment that seems to undermine your effort, but I know that most people don’t feel that way. As hard as it is, try not to let that one comment make you sad. You, Luisa, and Dephemerember are so deeply loved! ❤❤❤
Thank you! 🙏🏻❤️
I’m outraged on your behalf!! How dare someone criticize you after all the work and thought and care you’ve put into Dephemerember. Most of us see your incredible effort and thoughtfulness and appreciate you and Luise so so much. I look forward to Dephemerember all year long and it provides me with so much inspiration. Thank you so much to both you and Luise for your incredible gifts and kindness😊💜💜💜
You must know that we appreciate and love all of your efforts to make journaling fun for us. No matter what there will always be the nay/sayer, the “but” person. Ignore them. Much easier said than done, I know, the one negative remark weighs heavier than the many positive shares. We love you.
I’m always sad when creators have to defend or explain their ideas/content because of comments. We, as viewers always have the choice to move on without being negative in any way. Thank you both for all of your hard work and the wonderful goodies! Don’t let anyone dim your light!
I get not having a theme... it's superfun and makes things cohesive but it can be restricting at the same time. I love Ephy, he was great last year. His cameo this year is fun 😊 I enjoyed both. One is always free to incorporate him or other themes on own accord... let one's own imagination and creativity run free, you 2 ladies are facilitating a springboard for creative fun and connection, that's how I see it. With or without this "extra", so much work and efforts go into this... for many it will not be unnoticed. I dont craft along the prompts itself but the almost daily dose of vids I look forward to and it inspires me in my own crafts for sure (I recently finally made a soft fabric cover ringbinder journal and love it to bits while creating it was so much fun!). Dephemerember makes my already cosy Dec extra cosy. So thank you Luise and Barabara for creating something so special for the crafting community to close out the year with ❤️
Aaaaaw thank you for that! ❤️❤️❤️
♥️
Another FABULOUS Dephemerember! Also a GREAT explanation based on your THOUGHTFUL considerations. Just a shame you needed to inform anyone about your thoughtfulness! GASLIGHTING is what you call such CRASS comments! Neither you, nor Louise, deserve such POOR treatment. You two ladies are fabulous, funny and extremely generous with your time and your talents. You did well to remove such rubbish comments from your video, now delete them from your mind! Fill your mind and heart with the same joy with which you fill our hearts! I’m late to the ‘party’ this year but will definitely be catching up on what delight I have missed. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you Barbara and Louise and may2025 be a wonderful year for your both. 🎄🎊🥳🍻🎉🪅🎁🎈🎄 🦘🐨🇦🇺 😊
Thank you and Merry Christmas 🎄❤️
This is so creative Barbara!!
Ignore that person. No imagination. We see all the care and prep you both do. Love love this series.
I can tell you that I personally did not participate last year because as cute as Ephy is he did not appeal to my particular journaling style. Neither did the animals for that matter I believe you guys made the correct decision and I am enjoying it this year. You are never going to please everyone but those who truly appreciate you as an artist should be totally satisfied but just watching you create.
Barbara don’t forget about the heart felt special song you and Luise have put together for us all to share enjoy… I know from watching your videos I have made lovely gifts for others that has brighten not only my days but also others. Greatly appreciate all the work you two craft sisters put together for the enjoyment of taking part in myself and other crafters ❤❤❤
Thank you! 🙏🏻❤️
Plus oh my goodness you wrote a song this year!! I love the prompt list and the mood set by the music. My husband passed away from young onset Alzheimer’s this spring, it’s been a difficult year and your videos have really helped me get through tough days. I’ve been looking forward to Dephemberember and am using the prompts to assemble a memory book for my children. I tried earlier this summer but it wasn’t til this month with the beautiful song and the very relateable prompts that I’ve been able to begin the book of my dear one.
Thank you so much.
I’m deeply sorry for the loss of your beloved husband ❤️
Please do not change anything about Dephemerember. The four videos each week are so soothing and relaxing and I look forward to each of them. Dephemerember this year is unforgettable for me.
Don't listen to them!! This is my first time, and I think you and Luise have so much talent❤! Your videos are incredible, and your beautiful song( that plays in my head even after I've watched your videos). You've given us a whole lot more than just videos.😍 I'm a forever subscriber.
Aaaaw thank you! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
I enjoy Dephemerember for the videos and prompts and how it is different each year. ❤ you do you.
I love Dephemerember with everything you include, or not. I learn something new, and push myself more with every year. You and Luise are phenomenal.
How very creative. It’s beautiful.
Thank you for trusting us to share with, your thoughts and concerns. You will never please everyone 100% of the time. Good for you for deleting the comment. Thank you and Luisa for all of your hard work!❤
Thank you, Barbara, for this video. I think you and Louisa do a fabulous job of creating this fun Dephemerember prompt list each year. Woo hoo!🥳🥳What a shame that some people are so ungrateful and would actually take the time to show their 🫏 in public.🙄 Don't be giving this negative talk one more ounce of your energy, dear Barbara! You are a bright and shiny star in our world, and we are all so grateful for the love that you put into your art and share with us!❤❤🥰 and of course, that goes for you too, Louisa! Sending much aloha to you both today!✨️🌺🙋♀️
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Dephemerember totally rocks! I’d never watched it before and I love it. You and Luisa are so generous, it’s so fun to watch, and it’s so unifying for our community. I love it and I want to thank you for all the hard work you guys put into it. I love the transparency print!
Ich bin der Meinung, dass ihr euch auch dieses Jahr wieder wahnsinnig viel Mühe gebt mit der Aktion! Außerdem habt ihr sehr viele Freebies, die man nutzen kann, wenn man mag. Ich finde auch, dass ihr durch weniger Vorgaben, wie z.B. Tiere oder Ephy usw., die Aktion dieses Jahr noch viel offener gestaltet habt! Ich persönlich finde das super, Vorgaben schränken Kreativität immer ein. Noch einmal herzlichen Dank für eure Mühen und die vielen Videos. Die Kritiker sind garantiert einzelne, denkt immer daran! Also lasst euch nicht ärgern, einzelne Kritiker gibt es immer… Eure Community hat großen Spaß an der Aktion. Herzlichen Dank an dieser Stelle dafür! Dein Fotorahmen ist super schön geworden, eine tolle Idee mit der transparenten Folie! 💚
Liebe Grüße Nicole
Vielen lieben Dank für dein Feedback, Nicole ❤️
I want to say that I am thankful not only for Dephemerember but for all you and Luise do all year long to inspire and encourage creativity. In terms of the comment you received I hope you will take away the person's appreciation for the "extras" of the years past and assume that the implied part of the message related to "just prompts" was unintentional. What you and Luise do for us is amazing on all accounts and the fact that you do it for free is mind blowing to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your authenticity as a creator.
Hi Barbara, from the moment I saw you using bag handles they became a favorite of mine to add in my pages. I just need to have at least one in each signature. Framing them is a cute way to use also. Thank you!!!
b 🦋
So much more than a paperbag handle, love it :)
Wow, so beautiful! Thank you and Luise for ALL you do for this community!
I really appreciate your honesty and openness! When you and Luise talk from the heart it makes the whole experience of junk journaling feel like a community rather than a teaching session. I have been watching your Dephemerember series for 4 years now, and I feel that each year is unique in itself, and the different approaches each year make it fun. It's an adventure to discover new ideas and new ways of doing junk journaling! To you and Luise: keep up the great work! 😃
Thank you so much! ☺️❤️
Wow! I’m surprised about the critical comment because I love the fact that you come up with new ways to challenge and entertain us. Personally, I’m not a cartoonish person so wasn’t Effie’s fan so I left Effie out of my own book while I continued to learn and try your techniques. Go with the flow people! Barbara and Luise work hard for us!
Ultimately, it’s your and Luise’s challenge. You do the work putting it all together, it’s your baby. We watch your videos for you, not the extra stuff. People think they are so entitled. And you do too have something extra! The song!
Love this.
If you did the same thing every year for Dephemerember it would get boring. Love that you change it up, keeps the excitement up. And it needs to be said yet again- this adds so much fun to a month that can be difficult for me and many others. Thank you so much for working so hard with Luise on this collab for us. Happy holiday!
Thank you so much for all of your hard work (and Luise's)! I can only imagine how much thought and planning goes into making this month long event for your channels. With snacks, without snacks, with animals, without animals, I really appreciate the creativity, positivity, and heart and soul that goes into this. 💕
I love Dephemerember! And am incredibly grateful for all the hard work you and Luise put into all the videos and freebies! Thank You!
This is my first Dephemerember and I’m blown away by the thoughtfulness, time spent and attention to detail that you both have put into this! You cannot please everyone! You both are amazing!
Haters are gonna hate. The fact that you felt it necessary to "rant" saddens me because you never should have to be put in that position. And the majority of us DO recognize all your efforts and look forward each of your videos. My only gripe is that there's only 4 a week lol. Cause i want MORE! And anyway, you did give us a song that i find myself singing while I'm fixing dinner or just going about my day in addition to the cute coffee mugs. Dont lose any sleep over this. We love you and your ideas are airways inspiring. And my favorite videos were you working on that gator mouth. That's when i fell in love with you. Lol. ❤😂😊
Aaaaw thank you, sweetheart 🙏🏻❤️☺️
Barbara, I so appreciate all you and Luise do for us each December and also all year long! I know the work and thought you two ladies have put into this Dephemerember each year and what fun it is to watch. Also what a gorgeous piece of stitchery you did. I used to do stitching as well. Actually I still have a few kits I never started. One day I will LOL. I remember watching you with the other journals you showed. And yes your Mom was beautiful and you look just like her. You are beautiful inside and out Dear Barbara! Thanks again for all that you and Luise do. TFS! ❤❤
Aaaaaw thank you! 🙏🏻❤️
Oh, Barbara, this is so so sweet and your friendship with Luise so very special! Don’t listen to the whiners - you can’t please everyone!!! Much love and praise for an amazing Dephemerember 2024❤❤❤❤❤❤
People can be so rude! Just remember, it’s more of a reflection of their sad existence than of you. Love everything you and Louise do! 🥰
The friendship between you and Louisa is special.
Being able to accept and embrace each other‘s differences and to learn from them will keep you friends forever !
My wish is that all of us can find a friendship like yours.
That’s my wish as well! ❤️
Lovely! Thank you so much for the freebies, they are much appreciated!
I’ve loved each Dephemerember and wouldn’t change any of them one bit. Both you and Luise do an amazing job, creating magical art that inspires everyone from around the globe!! Thankyou for all you bring to us…. This paper bag handle frame was gorgeous!! Thanx again x❤
Thank you so much! ❤️🙏🏻
You & Louise did a lot this year with so many freebies and discounts, plus the lovely song. Don't let negative comments get to you, you can't please everyone, especially when you're already working so hard to successfully put forward great videos❣️
I am really thankful for this year not having as many challenges. I have watched previous years and this is my first time participating and it has been a very enjoyable experience. I am not overwhelmed and I have been able to keep up. Thank you for all you do. I love all your videos. ❤️
There is always someone in the crowd that complains. Just take it in stride and know the rest of us adore what you and Luisa have put your hearts into making Dephemerember for us! Each year is so fun and special. I, for one, like the little break between the weeks this year. I can actually keep up!😂❤ Thank you for everything!!!!!
Hallo Barbara, läßt Euch nicht beeinflussen von negativen Kommenten. Ihr macht so eine tolle Aktion, die viel Spaß macht, und von Allen auf Ihre persönliche Art umgesetzt werden kann.
Ich habe immer noch viel Spaß mein Ergebnis vom letzten Jahr anzuschauen und kann jetzt meine Entwicklung bis zu diesen Jahr sehen. Du hast diesen Promt wieder super umgesetzt🤩. Auf die Idee mit dem Rahmen wäre ich nie gekommen. Macht genauso weiter wie bisher, liebe Grüße Susanne aus Kamen
Vielen Dank liebe Susanne! 🙏🏻❤️
Remember that in life " you can please some of the people some of the time BUT you can't please all of the people all of time"... do what makes YOUR heart sing!!! ....
Wow! Time is passing so quickly. I love all that we do. Thank you. I really love the music that you composed. It is so special.
I am enjoying this year. You started early with making the journal and trading journals or scraps.
You are both doing so much. I enjoy the community and the support you give to use.
Thank you both. The details you have attended to is much appreciated❤❤❤
And the Dephemerember song too!!!
I love this project!
I love the bond of friendship between you & Luise and that you include us too!! This turned out fabulous
You ladies gave us the cutest song that I cannot get out of my head, the comment isn’t really fair! I respect everyone’s feedback, but don’t let any negativity get to you! You ladies are so amazing! Thank you both for everything! Hugs! ❤️❤️❤️
I think that it's wonderful that you both find the time to organize Dephemerember! I've printed all the years so I can use them the whole year rond. Thank you for organising a nother year and I hope you will keep on goiing with Dephemerember ❤!
I think it's very interesting to use things in the videos that characterize the countries of some of the participants. Folklore festivals, for example. Here and in Venice we have masks and costumes. In the Americas there are several interesting foods, such as guaca mole, and sweets, such as Paçoca, lol.😂
Love your passion and how much work you put in each year for this event. I know those freebies don’t just appear out of the blue and that you put hours of work thinking of all of us in this community. Thank you! 😊
😂😂😂 first comment: you’re hilarious 😂 I am tickled by the paper bag handle chronicles between you and Luise. That, and the curved and squishy vs straight and firm spine debate. It’s an ongoing friendly feud between y’all that I love to witness. It was so funny when she started a count for every time she mentioned “Thank you for nothing Barbara” 🤣🤣🤣
I haven’t seen Luise’s video yet! Dying to see it!!! 😃❤️
I loved all the symbolism in this creation and the different aspects of making it. This year's ephemera has been my favorite by far mostly because you two and the format is more laid back, calm, and really excellent pages or elements are being made. I feel calmer than usual watching you and calmer is much needed right now. I've learned things i will use going forward. Your friendship is always a pleasure to be around. i appreciate all the work you both put into this event each year. it's very unique in all ways. Thank you, love you guys! big smack sound goes here :)
Thank you! ❤️🙏🏻
Love that embroidery! The paper bag frame is beautiful. Barbara, that was NOT a rant. I've experienced a you tube rant: it was confrontational, accusing, over the top. You were even toned and presented facts ( we appreciate). Love your always respectful demeanor. I always look forward to your videos!❤❤😊
Thanks so much! ❤️
Last year was the first year I watched Dephemerember and sort of fell in love with Ephy. This year I am watching again and enjoying the generic prompts because they allow me to add whomever or whatever I choose in my projects. Ephy peeks out of some of my projects, but also there are some where Ephy isn't even a thought. I like the format this year especially 'cause most of my crafting supplies are stuck in my storage unit as my move from Georgia to Michigan isn't quite complete. I live in my sons living room and as such I have limited myself to as small a stash as I can survive with so that my sons family can enjoy their space even though I am in it too.
Very cool idea to make a frame with handles....my hubby has been in and out of the hospital for the past year and my crafting time has been eliminated but when I can grab a coffee I watch one of you talented ladies. Love your cross stitch piece....beautiful 💙 You and Louisa are very blessed to have found such a special friendship 😊 Both of you have beautiful hearts ❤❤
Thank you. We do cherish our friendship dearly. I wish all the best for your husband. Sending lots of hugs your way ❤️❤️❤️
I think what you guys have this year is enough! I could be wrong, but it seems you both have more freebies this year. I personally would rather a freebie that can be used on a particular prompt like shown in the video than an overall themed item (the animals or Effy) or watching you all eat snacks. I do love how each year there's something different and we never know what the plan is for that year, its a great surprise. This is my 4th year doing dephemerember. I haven't been disappointed! 💜
Thank you so much for your kind feedback ❤️
Thank you for the hard work and dedication you and Luise put into each Dephemerember. We see the perseverance and effort you put into coming up with fresh ideas, freebies, discounts, and more. Thank you for being so inclusive and taking as much as possible into consideration for each prompt. We appreciate you both 💗
Thank you so much! ❤️🙏🏻
