I've been MIA since losing my husband in March. I'm glad to finally feel like crafting again. Your videos are always so inspirational. I have a lot of catching up to do! Thanks for sharing your creative process with us.

[@menm_91]

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss Debbie. I hope crafting brings you some measure of comfort 💙

[@denisegardner2373]

Oh Barbara, I don't know how you are able to consistently up your game. You simply astonish me over and over. I will likely watch this series repeatedly as there are so many fun elements to try. WOW. Can't wait to see how this turns out. Have a blessed day!😁

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much Denise! Have a great day! 😃❤️

[@dianapeters3911]

I so like your idea of keeping all your happy mail in a special place.

[@milagrosvega5560]

I love this video! You put so many beautiful happy mail items in this journal. Thank you for the idea that you can use the whole book pages, instead of always folding them.👌😄

[@carolschneider8589]

Barbara, I always enjoy your videos and watching you create! You are so talented and have such wonderful ideas. Thanks again for the inspiration. Hugs, Carol Schneider

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much Carol! ❤️

[@grahamfox931]

Morning Barbara, What a lovely journal this is going to make. Love what you have done with all your happy mail, it is lovely to see how you put different items together, so inspiring. Dear Debbie, I just want to send my Condolences to you and am sending special love and hugs to you. We never loose those we love, they continue to live within our hearts, so are always with us. Hope this brings a little comfort to you, it did for me. Thank you Barbara for sharing with us and for you gentleness and inspiration. Blessings and hugs Diana

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you, Diana for your kind words to me and to Debi! ❤️

[@user-wl7qk8we1q]

My respect to you, for using all that items from Happy Mail. You have very sweet heart and golden hands. Thank you for sharing ❣

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaw thanks! Not sure about the golden hands, but I have lovely happy mail! 😃❤️

[@vicky-akastichr-davis4676]

I think you will need a large cereal box for the cover! {and for the 'side' area for a large spine} Because this will be chunky, of course! I can picture many signatures....many many!

[@tinasmith8791]

Thank you for sharing!! I love watching you create!!!

[@CJG1419]

I love watching you work. Everything looks so great ❤️

[@nisamorin2519]

I really enjoy watching how you combine all sorts of pictures, signs, papers, colors, shapes ... It's pure magic! Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much! I promise, no magic involved! 😃❤️

[@teresitalamas5304]

Thank you Barbara. Si glad your happy mail is getting a wonderful home that you created for them.😘

[@debbiev.1311]

Love how you preserve the integrity of the book pages while adding your treasures!! So cute how you added the teabag & tag to the page w/ the bunny who looks like he's enjoying tea🐰(teapot, teacups & saucers) Barbara...you are so amazingly inspiring in all that you do!! ❤🦋

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaw thanks so much Debbie! ❤️

[@sandikalin636]

I’m loving this series so much, and as Kristi mentioned I too have very special cards that now I know how to honor them. ❤️❤️ can’t wait until the next video

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Sandi! So happy you feel inspired! 😃❤️

[@vickinoeske1154]

This sentimental journal is turning out so pretty. I'm happy that you don't cover beautifully illustrated book pages but honor them.

[@sherryhaynes317]

The bunny at the tea party is so stinky cute!

[@sueflynn5671]

Yes cute bunny.I am collecting images etc to make a bunny journal

[@colleenandmark]

Hello lovely I brought my first small bottle of copper paint I can’t draw but you were doing lines and dashes and I can do that. Love watching you. From Colleen nz

[@49dragonflies]

Awesome! 😃👍🏻❤️

[@arlenebrearley2395]

Love how you can look back and enjoy so many of your treasures!

[@kristimoore8763]

I have a pile of birthday, Christmas and other cards that need a home. I've been thinking for too long that I need to make a journal just for them. Now you have inspired me with these videos to do just that! Thank you. :)

[@49dragonflies]

Perfect, have fun! 😃❤️

[@jayneterry8701]

You have been so blessed to have a community around you sending you creative loving happy mail! ❤

[@49dragonflies]

I definitely have! ❤️

[@jennifercampbell2432]

Love your tips about the teabag/tags!!! So love watching you create! Thank you so much 😊

[@maudhiemstra]

Hi sweetie, Love this so much, I could watch for hours, so entertaining and inspirational. Definitely going to make a journal like this. Have a wonderful day Hugs Maud

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks sweetie! I would love to see your process as well! 😃❤️

[@debiv7834]

These pages are absolutely beautiful! I love the fairy tale book pages, treasures! ❤️❤️

[@danutashayler34]

The small dictionary page card with the yellow long bent beak is a winning finish and then some. A children illustration book pages, who knew? I'll have to venture into children's book as well as well at some point. I'm never disappointed in how you bring together the littlest of items. When I look at my stuff on the table I get overwhelmed. It really helps to be very organized and you are. I am inspired with gratitude. Thanks Barbara

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks again, Danuta! I get overwhelmed easily, so sticking to one box of supplies is a huge help! I hope you try it! ❤️

[@debbiecarter6430]

Really enjoyed these two videos. Can’t wait to see more. 👏😊💕

[@barbaraperna5536]

I love watching this Journal come together 😊

[@cindycreateforlife]

This was so much fun watching you create these signatures with happy mail! 💕🇨🇦

[@maryregan4099]

Beautiful happy mail that made beautiful pages

[@wandaspencer9523]

So creative...lovely and inspiring! The idea of cutting the sentiment and note to place on the back of the card is fantastic. I have an idea , I’m going to make my hinge mechanism and attach it between the two pieces before I glue them together, then they will be ready for use in future projects. Thanks for all your tips every time you share...💗💗💗

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Wanda! That’s a great idea! 😃❤️

[@luiseheinzl]

How adorable! I can't wait to see the finished journal!

[@debbie115]

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Laura! I sure have! ❤️☺️

[@dianpapay7927]

This is so much fun! I love the teabag card that you made with the little bird. I think I get the most use from tea bags by using them the same way you do, as well as adding the used tea leaves to my hydrangea bushes. No waste at all! Your videos are always very inspiring. Thank you.

[@martistarnes9062]

I really enjoyed this. Seeing all of your Happy Mail and how you use it, Thank you!!

So much inspiration from the items that were sent to you and from the way you use and combine them. Love it all!✨

[@dawnspruill1914]

This series is so much fun! Your ideas for each page combined with the fun, sometimes quirky, ideas contained in your happy mail items are the perfect mix! I hate watching that red line at the bottom of the video move toward the right. I am always left wanting more! Stay well and keep on crafting!

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaaw thanks so much for your kind feedback Dawn! I think you need to move in with me! 😂😂😂❤️

Yes Barbara, the "B" in the collage was for Barbara and the "kindness" in it as well!! :) I remember when I sent it to you, you said you'd find it a special place, and you did! (I'm laurart2020 from Uruguay)

[@49dragonflies]

Hi Laura! I’m so happy I found a special place for your goodies, thanks again! 🥰

I thought you did an amazing job with all your “happy Mail”. I loved it all,but especially the page with the rabbits. It looked like they were peering over at your letter and card in the envelope. Much luv. Xx

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you Heather! ☺️❤️

[@cinconinos490]

Ok. I think we just may be collage soulmates lol. Once again I had my eye on the cute white lace when you were doing the yellow bird collage and was again shocked that you picked it. Lol. I love all the pages. 🥰💙 always inspired by your work. 😉

[@49dragonflies]

Haha How fun to have a collage soul mate! 😃❤️

[@caroltanzi29]

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much Angela! ❤️

[@prof.mommyarty]

Beautiful pages Barbara! These pieces could've been made for each other, that's a real knack you have! Oh I'm saving my fabric oddments to make a basket just like that! I agree that the view on that card would be a wonderful place to be. Wow, 44 pieces, well done 😁. Tfs 💖💖

[@sueflynn5671]

I am in the mood to make another fabric basket. Hers is so cute never made one with handles.What else do you do with fabric?

[@prof.mommyarty]

Hi, oh I've been using it to cover albums and top tags off but just started learning to make clothes! (Shopping in a wheelchair is frustrating and online worse). I used to make curtains and cushion covers and fancy dress costumes for the kids😄. What about you?

Barbara, while waiting for your video to load, I have this question: Do you (or anyone reading) know of a 'pen-pal' list to join where we can exchange junk journal related happy mail? I would love to be a part of one but searching has turned up nothing.

[@49dragonflies]

I have the perfect video coming up for you, I think next week where you can connect with others in the comments 😃

Great!
