Thank you so much for your lesson. I did make a book from one of your tutorials which was fun using my beads. I'm still at the fun filling part. I also made some paper to use. You explain so we'll and I love your accent.
Help me .....I am going to make a journal .....I don't understand why u add the papers that come outta a book or even the music sheets or pictures. Do I write on them or is it for looks ???
looks... part of the "treasure" to find within. such as making pockets thru out and filling them things like... vintage cards, recipe cards, trivia cards, a nice poem folded up and placed inside an envelope...U could also cut off Strips of the musical notes and glue it on to a blank page for decoration.. Or use as background FOR a Blank piece of paper. maybe tear and ink the edges of the blank paper u want to write on. 😊
I really love your videos, and whenever I’m feeling the slightest bit down, I come to your channel and watch various videos you’ve made and they never fail to lift my spirits. Thank you for sharing your processes, and your light. ❤
My my goodness- I watched every single second of this entire process. You are my biggest inspiration of how I want to approach junk journaling ... but ... I’ve purchase SO many printables and wishing I had started out with more of an organic style. That said, it’s never too late. I will implement more and more this style and will eventually stop buying printables. Thank you, Natasa... you’re one of the great ones, in my opinion xo
I know you’re u think not to use printables but make a in hand keep in folders to create smaller piece for pockets or to make pages and add them to gift bags pulled apart there is a thousand ways you o create ❤
You are so amazing..What I love is how clear you make things. The way you lay out instructions and explain things..It must take a lot of time to do that..So THANK YOU for all of the thought and time that you put into your tutorials for us. beautiful as always! xx
Excellent tutorial start to finish!! You have answered questions I didn't know I had - LOL!! Now I know why I've been saving all those bits and pieces for the past ten years - and now I know exactly what to do with them. LOVE your junk journal and your creative process. YES - - I would enjoy MORE journal tutorials, walk throughs, techniques, etc... Thank you so much for taking the time to share your creative expertise. Looking forward to getting started on my very first junk journal!! :-)
This is by far the easiest junk journal I have ever viewed. I just love your instructional sheets. That's what makes it so easy. Yes I would like to see how you continue to decorate this or any other journal. Thanks so much Natasa.
Love this, this is my style of crafting, I use boxes for my covers all the time,a tip for guilding wax, mix metallic eyeshadow with coconut oil,cheap and work is a treat.
Dear Natasa, No detail ever escapes you. This is soooo inspiring...especially the cover. Just a couple fyi's: your stitching around the sides of the cover is called whip stitch (don't ask me how I know that because I don't sew)and what you called "wall tape"...close. It is drywall tape to cover seams. Some call it Sheetrock or wallboard instead of drywall. Now how is that for totally useless trivia? Giving thanks this Thanksgiving in America for your kind spirit.
hehe Susan, thank you so much. I was calling it embroidery the whole time, and each time I would say it, I winced because I knew it was wrong, but just didn't know what else to call it. The wall tape - hehe, I knew it had the word "wall" in there somewhere. Thank you for giving me correct names, and its definitely not useless!!
I’ve already watched this video numerous times but I keep coming back to it. So many wonderful ideas for anyone but especially beginners like me. I’ve got my notepad to jot down all the ideas and inspiration that is flowing through. Thank you so much for sharing this fabulous fantastic fat journal 👍✌️🙏❤️
I just love your amazing teaching style! I learn so much from you. Traditional junk journaling is something I love. So thankful for you and your channel!
"I WANT TO BE WILD AND FREE LIKE THE SEA 🌊 🎶 ✨️" Darling Natasha, perhaps you don't realize that your wild and free waves have lapped upon the shores of Michigan! Do you know you've changed my life? Your sweet, lyrical, easy-going commentary so freely providing artistic details has inspired my creativity and lifted me out of a SEVEN YEAR DEPRESSION? I lost my Mama and myself, and now through your tutorials, I am creating memory books, recipe books, family tradition books, and JOY! I AM CREATING JOY AGAIN THANKS TO YOU, DARLING NATASHA❣️ I apologize for all caps, but I'm not sure how long ago this gem was made (thank you for specifically showing me HOW to use the journal to PLAY) and I feel it's important you realize your "I dunno. Doesn't matter. It's not perfect but that's ok. I'm not sure if I like it but that's what we're going with." and all your little sing-sing phrases of love and acceptance of things the way they are, the way they've fallen into place, and if we don't like it now, we might later, and if we still don't like it later, we can beautifully change it to our liking. 😊It may seem trite, but you have helped my little retired suburban housewife life in an unimaginable way. All of my curated things can be beautifully enshrined in a book made of junk mail for pennies. Thank you thank you thank you 🎉🎉🎉 😢 I'm not kidding, 7 years😢
This was my first video to make a junk journal. I have not made one before. So glad I choose this one! Having directions to screen shot at the end and to read during the instructions is a brilliant idea! Thank you!
Loving this video for not only the instruction and techniques but also because you do not go off on nonsensical tangents. I also appreciate your fast forwarding through the repetitive demonstrations. Even though I am new to Junk Journals, I look for meaningful content rather than silliness and disorganization. You nailed my preference!! Thank you.
I hurt my dominant wrist so not much I can do for 2 weeks in my studio - so I decided to binge watch your videos. typing with left hand so excujse typos. Even though I'm not a beginner I still like to watch beginner videos because we can learn so much. I relly liked this video especially where you showed the used sticker backing with a pocket attached. THAT WAS verY creative. Even though I love to hand embroider I don't like sewing signatures very much - si I tried stapling mine. it worked ok...but I admit sewing is prettier. Subscribed nages ago, love your channel, your voice, thorough instructions, and tips - great job!
I am a newbie to junk journaling. I would be very interested in seeing more videos like this one. Thank you for sharing your creativity and knowledge, especially for one’s like me that are beginning!
Cute little journal. Thank you for taking the time to share your projects and your skills with us viewers. As I watch your videos, I can clearly see you have a gift for teaching/instruction giving. Congrats for getting over 20,000 viewers on your channel.
Thanks to you, I just put together my first cover with two signatures for my nieces wedding junk journal last night. I was so nervous! lol why? I had an expert teacher and your book and videos to refer to. It went great but I was shaking the whole time. How funny 🙄 I so hope she loves it, I do❤
Hi, I don't speak English but I understood everything because you explain very well with your pretty hands :) Thank you for these wonders. kiss from france
Wow Natasa, you have really gone above and beyond!!! What an amazing and fun true junk journal you have created!!! Love it! And I love your hand-made paper beads!!! Thanks for joining me in this collaboration!
i so appreciate your attention to detail. i tell my hubby often, "details matter." and you are great at explaining your process. thank you for sharing your talent with us!
The answer is yes: yes, you have inspired me, yes, this has given me the urge to make my own and YES I would love to see “Junk Journal With Me” videos, PLEASE. Thank you for presenting this in your special way, and making it seem approachable and doable. 😊 I love the way you joined the spine and sides of the cover. I’ve never seen that before.
I have binge watched your channel, it was your beaded pens that brought me here. I have now gathered my supplies and I am going to start my first journal now. Thank you for bringing me into this wonderful world of junk journals😍😍😍😍😍
I love everything you do. Your written instructions are perfect. I appreciate you showing each step. I will watch whatever you post so keep them coming. Love your speaking voice and accent. You are lovely. XO
I look forward to watching your videos I am a late bloomer to Scrapbooking. I agree with the comments below I thank you for taking the time to write up the instructions and the videos. You explain in detail what to do how to do it. You have a very pleasant voice and I enjoy listening to you. I have learned so much just by watching your videos and I am still learning. Thank you!!
I watch so many videos, and I never leave comments… As a matter of fact I don’t think I’ve ever left a single comment ever! But I just had to let you know that your tutorial is absolutely amazing. You’re so detailed, it’s easy to follow along and keep up. You explain everything in such amazing detail that your video would be hard to beat! Thank you so much, I watched 100 of these videos… Never completely satisfied. I’m so inspired by this video and excited to try it out!
Love to see a TRUE junk journal from start to finish.. fantastic inspiration... great leather look...and thanks for showing some of the possible decorations..... can't wait to make my own 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😁
Thanks Natasa. What I love about this TRUE Junk Journal is the fact that each one is unique and personal. Thank you for helping me value my own TRUE junk journal!
WOW!!! You are an excellent instructor! So easy to understand. Not too slow,...not too fast. You have a great personality!!! And I especially love YOUR idea of a TRUE JUNK journal, using nothing you bought. What a great way to recycle and help to STOP creating TRASH!! I'm devoted to repurposing!!! Your video was my introduction to junk journals. I had NO IDEA what a junk journal even was! I feel lucky I found you from the start. I have a huge trash can full of junk mail & paper my son was suppose to discard. But he moved and I've been trying to figure out how to get rid of it. But, NOW I'm excited to go thru it and see what great JUNK I can use. Thank you for sharing, and teaching such a cool idea. Much love to you!! Barbara - Austin, TX. USA
I would definitely be interested in watching you play in your junk journal! You called it a "Junk Journal with me" video series, or a now-and-again Junk journal with me, and YES, I would Love that!
I know it's been 3 years, but I just found you. I prefer your writing actually to the stamped word. I have been enjoying your videos and I LOVE the printed instructions.
Thank you so much for writing everything down step-by-step. I’m writing down the glue. That way you make sure we understood. I’m a new phone or so for your awesome.
I know i watched the beginnings of this, before but not right thru ....I don't think....can't remember now....so as I was up super early this morning doing some fuzzy cutting i wanted to watch and listen to the FULL version and how awesome it was ...Big thank you for taking the time putting this together, learned MORE again 👌have to try the cover technique definitely
Natasha, I have watched this four times, on two different computers and two different television sets. You are the bomb ! ~ which means you are amazing where I reside. Your instructions are terrific. Thank you!
Wow so amazing I watched all of it you do a great job on all of your journals 7m a beginner I ve done serval but I'll never be as good as you I'm trying I live watching yours
I like it that you fast forward on places that are repitition. Some people don't do that and it gets boring to watch steps repeated that don't need to be. You can cover so much more instructions. You are very thorough too. Thank you so much!
I started to put a journal together as I watched this. The glue isn’t drying fast enough! I will look through the instructions and gather stuff so I will be ready when I watch this again. So many ideas are in my head!
Natasha you are so inspiring to me. I just love your videos. I have never made these paper beads. But my mother had two necklaces made from them. Now I can’t wait to make them!!!! Thank you 🙏🏻❤️
One suggestion is when you are sewing spine to cover in the criss-cross first clip the bottom to hold together securely to make it less fidley😆 your instructions are excellent
It was by chance yesterday that your content popped up. I am doing journaling but never heard about junk-journals before. All I can say after watching some of your videos: Absolutely amazing! Your creativity, style, superbe explaining and ideas are outstanding! Never again will I buy any journals now but have plenty of fun in future with my own projects. Thank you so much. I am especially delighted since I kept some lovely magazines for years due to some realy beautiful pages and always thought they are worth being upcycled. Now I know what for. So, thank you again, greezings from Germany. Besides: a happy and healthy new year 2024!
I love how your mind works to keep and add certain things to your journal that others may have thrown away, such as adding things from your daughter's shoe. I have watched a couple of your videos so far and there are so many great ideas! Thank you for the time and effort you take to make and share your talent with us.
I absolutely love this because it actually show how to use those junk pages and addressed envelopes that I tend to throw away. Thank you. I am inspired by this!
Hey from Canada, Natasha....a huge thank you for sharing this as I know it was a lot of work. You said in this video, "sometimes you get overwhelmed with all you can do to it" and I thought to myself, I am the exact opposite. I've never made a junk journal so I"m in the process of learning how to create one. I think I'm ready to start now. I want to thank you for the education and inspiration. I so love your work!
Wonderful wonderful wonderful. Sincerely enjoy every single minute of your videos and i always learn so so much from you. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us. And yes, seeing your finished journal with all the added elements would be great.
Oh my Patara….. I too have cats and they sure can get into some scrapes. You had me laughing one minute and on pins & needles the next. Whew!!! I’m glad they got down. I’ve never seen a cat use a ladder. I hope this is the end of their adventures. Love ya.❤️

I am new to the concept of junk journaling. I love collecting pretty things but never knew what to do with them until now 🙂 This video great. Thank you 🙏🏾
Thanks for this tutorial! It's great to see someone is making an actual junk journal! We have come across so many paper and I always feel such a waste to trash them. This is definitely something I can make with those junk paper.
Thanks so much for the detailed instruction! I cannot wait to start my very own journal. I absolutely love your channel and feel so inspired after watching. You are an excellent teacher and so creative.
I would love a journal-with-Natasha video! I learn so much from you in these vids. And now I have your book for reference as well. I’m a lucky girl! Thank you, Natasha!❤
I love this, I am making my granddaughter a mermaid themed junk journal, and I'm sending her some ephemera, but I also will explain what a true junk journal is and encourage her to use those type of items. It would be wonderful to have a series to help her get inspired. Thanks. So much for this. Oh, by the way, I must say when you said you were going to put orange paint on the cover, and I saw how bright it was I was a little surprised, but it really turned out quite nice. Again thankyou for your great ideas.
Loved the your process on how to make a journal cover. Right now I’m using a gutted old book cover, this wii be my first journal with 2 or 3 signatures inside! I decided to step out my comfort zone & do a signature journal 🤭. I just love all your thick journals,, thats what inspired me to go outside my comfort level. I pray it turns out well I’m always doing one signature. TFS for sharing this video 🤗😊💕.
I have been binging on your wonderful tutorials for weeks. You have a wonderful way of teaching, and when you include your thoughts on how you get your inspiration, I love it. Thank you so much.
Wow, wow, wow!!! This was fantastic! Thankyou for breaking it down into achievable steps and for doing the written instructions - it makes it so much less daunting! Really looking forward to having a go at this! And, YES to the journal-with-me YTs! Thanks for all the hard work you put in to make tutorials. Hugs. Also - I bought a Journal from you last year, and it was just the other day I had it out again and was going through it slowly page by page enjoying the look and feel of it!!
I watched this through all the way and now I will be gathering all the materials and making this. I have just about everything except the white gesso. Thanks for sharing, this is great. It will make an awesome 🎁 gift. 👍❤️
Yes! Journal with you is something i want to see! Junk journal always fascinated me because i collect lots of junk because i find it wasted to throw away but then I get stuck without knowing what to do with them. I’m sure a journal with you video will give me some ideas and inspiration to destash my junk ;)
I have enjoyed this tutorial so much. Thank you for sharing. I can proudly say, after following your instructions, I have completed the cover. Ok it has taken me a week but I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I have been a little distracted by watching some of your other videos and thinking ‘oh I can make that now’ lol. Now for the bookplate and organising my signatures. Xx😘
If there is something perfect, it's this tutorial video. I'm always having questions after tutorial videos, but this one was just perfect "go ahead and do it with me" all the questions answered. I just finished my second ever journal and I am so proud of it I could cry 😍😭😍 Such great techniques and tons of ideas. I feel so inspired to decorate it from the inside now 😀❤ I didn't use another color for the cover and I highlighted it with bronze acrylic paint. I did the sewing with rainbow yarn and it looks fabulous 😍 I'm starting creative writing classes next month and this will be my journal for it. I made it more as a journal to write in, but with paper I used your techniques to dye it. I'm so in love with it, I can't even express 😍 Thank you ever so much for this wonderful video! Love and light! ☺❤💜❤

Thank you so much for your lesson. I did make a book from one of your tutorials which was fun using my beads. I'm still at the fun filling part. I also made some paper to use. You explain so we'll and I love your accent.
Help me .....I am going to make a journal .....I don't understand why u add the papers that come outta a book or even the music sheets or pictures. Do I write on them or is it for looks ???
looks... part of the "treasure" to find within. such as making pockets thru out and filling them things like... vintage cards, recipe cards, trivia cards, a nice poem folded up and placed inside an envelope...U could also cut off Strips of the musical notes and glue it on to a blank page for decoration.. Or use as background FOR a Blank piece of paper. maybe tear and ink the edges of the blank paper u want to write on. 😊

....I don't think....can't remember now....so as I was up super early this morning doing some fuzzy cutting i wanted to watch and listen to the FULL version and how awesome it was ...Big thank you for taking the time putting this together, learned MORE again 👌have to try the cover technique definitely
Thank you so much Christa!!
I commend you on having the patients to make such a detailed instruction video.
Thank you Melanie
Natasha, I have watched this four times, on two different computers and two different television sets. You are the bomb ! ~ which means you are amazing where I reside. Your instructions are terrific. Thank you!
Heheh thank you so much :)
Wow so amazing I watched all of it you do a great job on all of your journals 7m a beginner I ve done serval but I'll never be as good as you I'm trying I live watching yours
You are a dear spirit! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful creativity. I am grateful for your generosity and gift. 🙏🏼
I like it that you fast forward on places that are repitition. Some people don't do that and it gets boring to watch steps repeated that don't need to be. You can cover so much more instructions. You are very thorough too. Thank you so much!
I started to put a journal together as I watched this. The glue isn’t drying fast enough! I will look through the instructions and gather stuff so I will be ready when I watch this again.
So many ideas are in my head!
Thank you so much! Sharing knowledge is power. A person has to enjoy this hobby! Knowing how to make journals is not enough.
Thank you so much :)
Natasha you are so inspiring to me. I just love your videos. I have never made these paper beads. But my mother had two necklaces made from them. Now I can’t wait to make them!!!! Thank you 🙏🏻❤️
I love this! U inspired me to stitch a journal that's been waiting on me for 3 months. 😁 I would definitely watch a journal with me. Thanks Natasa!
Thank you so much Misty!
Fabulous junk journal and fabulous tutorial! This is the best junk journal demo I have seen in YEARS!!!💜💜💜
Thank you SO much !!
One suggestion is when you are sewing spine to cover in the criss-cross first clip the bottom to hold together securely to make it less fidley😆 your instructions are excellent
Great tip! Thank you so much 😊
It was by chance yesterday that your content popped up. I am doing journaling but never heard about junk-journals before. All I can say after watching some of your videos: Absolutely amazing! Your creativity, style, superbe explaining and ideas are outstanding! Never again will I buy any journals now but have plenty of fun in future with my own projects. Thank you so much. I am especially delighted since I kept some lovely magazines for years due to some realy beautiful pages and always thought they are worth being upcycled. Now I know what for. So, thank you again, greezings from Germany. Besides: a happy and healthy new year 2024!
I love how your mind works to keep and add certain things to your journal that others may have thrown away, such as adding things from your daughter's shoe. I have watched a couple of your videos so far and there are so many great ideas! Thank you for the time and effort you take to make and share your talent with us.
Thank you so much!
I enjoy going back and watch your videos over and over. Thank you for making life joyful☺
Thank you!!
I absolutely love this because it actually show how to use those junk pages and addressed envelopes that I tend to throw away. Thank you. I am inspired by this!
I'm so glad!
Hey from Canada, Natasha....a huge thank you for sharing this as I know it was a lot of work. You said in this video, "sometimes you get overwhelmed with all you can do to it" and I thought to myself, I am the exact opposite. I've never made a junk journal so I"m in the process of learning how to create one. I think I'm ready to start now. I want to thank you for the education and inspiration. I so love your work!
Wonderful wonderful wonderful. Sincerely enjoy every single minute of your videos and i always learn so so much from you. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us. And yes, seeing your finished journal with all the added elements would be great.
Oh my Patara….. I too have cats and they sure can get into some scrapes. You had me laughing one minute and on pins & needles the next. Whew!!! I’m glad they got down. I’ve never seen a cat use a ladder. I hope this is the end of their adventures. Love ya.❤️
Natasha, thank God for your daughter’s shoes falling apart!!! Lovely vid, again. You’re the best!

I am new to the concept of junk journaling. I love collecting pretty things but never knew what to do with them until now 🙂 This video great. Thank you 🙏🏾
Wonderful! Thanks for watching :)
Thanks for this tutorial! It's great to see someone is making an actual junk journal! We have come across so many paper and I always feel such a waste to trash them. This is definitely something I can make with those junk paper.
Yes please junk journal with us.
Thanks so much for the detailed instruction! I cannot wait to start my very own journal. I absolutely love your channel and feel so inspired after watching. You are an excellent teacher and so creative.
Thank you for showing me how to make this journal. Lovely.
I would love a journal-with-Natasha video! I learn so much from you in these vids. And now I have your book for reference as well. I’m a lucky girl! Thank you, Natasha!❤
Your instructions are excellent. Simple and easy to understand. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us.
Thank you Pam 😊
I love this, I am making my granddaughter a mermaid themed junk journal, and I'm sending her some ephemera, but I also will explain what a true junk journal is and encourage her to use those type of items. It would be wonderful to have a series to help her get inspired. Thanks. So much for this. Oh, by the way, I must say when you said you were going to put orange paint on the cover, and I saw how bright it was I was a little surprised, but it really turned out quite nice. Again thankyou for your great ideas.
Thank you so much Georgie!!
Loved the your process on how to make a journal cover. Right now I’m using a gutted old book cover, this wii be my first journal with 2 or 3 signatures inside! I decided to step out my comfort zone & do a signature journal 🤭. I just love all your thick journals,, thats what inspired me to go outside my comfort level. I pray it turns out well I’m always doing one signature. TFS for sharing this video 🤗😊💕.
Thank you so much April, and have fun getting out of your comfort zone. If you can do one signature, you can do 2 or 3 or more!!
I have been binging on your wonderful tutorials for weeks. You have a wonderful way of teaching, and when you include your thoughts on how you get your inspiration, I love it. Thank you so much.
Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing. Happy crafting on a budget. Happy everything on a budget. See you in the next video and on the flip side. 😇🌹
Natasha you have definitely inspired me to make one😊TFS!
Wow, wow, wow!!! This was fantastic! Thankyou for breaking it down into achievable steps and for doing the written instructions - it makes it so much less daunting! Really looking forward to having a go at this! And, YES to the journal-with-me YTs! Thanks for all the hard work you put in to make tutorials. Hugs. Also - I bought a Journal from you last year, and it was just the other day I had it out again and was going through it slowly page by page enjoying the look and feel of it!!
My dear Jennifer, thank you so much :)
I watched this through all the way and now I will be gathering all the materials and making this. I have just about everything except the white gesso. Thanks for sharing, this is great. It will make an awesome 🎁 gift. 👍❤️
Yes! Journal with you is something i want to see! Junk journal always fascinated me because i collect lots of junk because i find it wasted to throw away but then I get stuck without knowing what to do with them. I’m sure a journal with you video will give me some ideas and inspiration to destash my junk ;)
Awesome, thank you! I will definitely do a junk journal with me!!
I thinking of a baby junk journal thanks for all the tips.😊
So creative! Thank you!!
Have I watched this tutorial while crafting about 10 times already? Hell yeah!
But am I doing it again today? HELL YEAH x 5 😁✨
Hell yeah!!! hahahah
I watch you every day! You're using an overcast stitch.
This is the journal that actually put me into action. I am so excited about this style of Journal!
I love your voice, accent, and lucid instructions!
Thank you Debra!!
I love this tutorial! Thank you so much. I learned along with you. So fun.
Your work is certainly exceptionally beautiful. I haven't seen anything like it . Very unique I love watching your videos ... keep up the great work
Thank you so very much 😊
I was mesmerised from start to finish. You are so inspiring. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos.
Your beautiful works make me happy and excited. Thank you for sharing a good video.. I hope you have a great day.
Super project and jounal with me is a great idea❣
I have enjoyed this tutorial so much. Thank you for sharing. I can proudly say, after following your instructions, I have completed the cover. Ok it has taken me a week but I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I have been a little distracted by watching some of your other videos and thinking ‘oh I can make that now’ lol. Now for the bookplate and organising my signatures. Xx😘
Wonderful! I'm so glad you feel inspired Liz, thats awesome!!
Beautiful Journal!! I love watching you create.
Thank you so much 😊
Beautifully done. So well illustrated!!
If there is something perfect, it's this tutorial video. I'm always having questions after tutorial videos, but this one was just perfect "go ahead and do it with me" all the questions answered. I just finished my second ever journal and I am so proud of it I could cry 😍😭😍
Such great techniques and tons of ideas. I feel so inspired to decorate it from the inside now 😀❤
I didn't use another color for the cover and I highlighted it with bronze acrylic paint. I did the sewing with rainbow yarn and it looks fabulous 😍
I'm starting creative writing classes next month and this will be my journal for it. I made it more as a journal to write in, but with paper I used your techniques to dye it. I'm so in love with it, I can't even express 😍
Thank you ever so much for this wonderful video! Love and light! ☺❤💜❤
Great project! Thanks for sharing!
Most excellent! Thank you for your tutorial.
Really enjoying your channel. Love the written step by step.
Thanks so much!
I love your channel! You inspire me!
Thank you so much Nicole :)
