[@debrawaterman7970]

I love the idea of your list of items to put into a journal! It took me a while to copy it by pausing your video but I’ve got it now. I look forward to May’s videos for examples. Lucky subscriber that wins one of your journals! 🥰

I have wanted to have a go at making a journal for a long time and I've watched hundreds of videos but you are the first to explain what all the various bits are and what they are for!

[@angelachroniccrafter]

Me too! Happy Crafting 🤍🤗🤎

[@CoriDahmen]

good to have you join in! The vast majority of the videos will be really quick, scrap buster items. The Stamperia Forest book will be a bit more involved, hence the one or two videos per week. Hopefully, it will all be good fun.

[@406annie]

Wow; you have a lot on your list, Cori! How exciting! It will be fun to do all those things with you. I’m excited about your monthly mini plans, too. One of my friends calls your favorite flower daffy-down-dillys. I think that’s from a children’s book; maybe you know which one. I love all flowers, so I plan to craft along with you for May’s mini using a general flower theme. 😊 🌻🌼🌸🌺🥀🌹🌷💐 Happy National Scrapbooking Day! (Today is also my husband’s and my 38th wedding anniversary.)

[@CoriDahmen]

LOL! It is a long list. Sure hope I can come close to accomplishing it and it will be great to have you join in.
