Hi Meg! I'm just finally catching up on KZbin and I wanted to thank you for highlighting the journals I made. Yes, the lace on the Black Beauty journal is vintage. The green cardstock pocket in the Mother's journal is something I got at a thrift store and I have no idea what it was originally. It was a pack so I have more of them. I love that the German song page resonates with you. That's the wonderful thing about junk journals. Happy Journaling!

Congrats to your baby girl. It is bitter sweet but wow it’s exciting to see where their dreams, talents and passions take them! Let me know if you have empty nest tips. I’m on the struggle bus. Great finds and sweet happy mail. Hugs!

Really lovely journals. I have never thought of using book pages to make a cover - great idea. Loved the happy mails too. Going to your post box must be so exciting.

[@NewEnglandJunkJournals]

Yay! I’m so glad it got there in time! Those books are from my recycle center. When I saw them I instantly thought of you. Congrats on completing your homeschool journey…… at least until the grandkids come, sometime down the road, lol. What a lovely journal to record your homeschool memories in!! ❤❤❤

[@CouleeCraftCorner]

How awesome to get a homeschool journal for documenting. Hope you share that process. 😊

[@crinkledpath]

Amazing purchases and the happy mail was so thoughtful! ❤

[@denisegardner2373]

Fun share. Congrats on your daughter's graduation. Huge feat. I love that she is inspired by Japanese culture at such a young age. Kudos on the happy mail. TFS ❤

This video was SO MUCH FUN! TYFS! I LOVED the horse journal! So beautiful, and I love how Kristen (sp?) did the spine. My daughter loves horses, too, and took horseback riding lessons for several years. She took a break from it this past year, but is going to resume this summer. I’m really glad she is. I’ve been collecting horse ephemera to make a horse journal for her, so this video and the journal you bought gave me lots of inspiration! I also LOVED the pink journal! So cute and fun! I will DEFINITELY check out that Etsy shop! And the happy mail 😍

This is just a super fun video with so many goodies. I love to see the deals and gifts. I am thrilled to see the Sound of Music journal. I need to see that movie again. I love it. It used to come on TV every year. Such fun!

[@littlegoldiesbooks]

I also love the book The Country Bunny; you should reread the story- it’s wonderful! The various shades of pink in the journal are great. At the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs, you can pet and feed the giraffes.

Wonderful gifts Meg. Enjoy!!

I just bought the same retro flower beads at Hobby Lobby as well. So fun for a retro journal. I'm right there with you on the naps. They give me a headache. I wonder if an online store might have some Edelweiss fabric...

[@ChasingRetro]

Found some fabric today on ebay that looks so much like the curtain fabric from the film! :)

[@RobinfromCA]

@@ChasingRetro That's going to be so much fun!

[@GigiHanna]

Great Happy Mail from Sarah and Carol! They are amazing fun friends. Also you haul is amazing xoxo

[@crinkledpath]

Actually I can’t take credit, Gigi. The giraffe happy mail came from Jo but she mentioned me because she and I are making Giraffe journals in July. 😊😉

[@GigiHanna]

@@crinkledpath well Jo and you are amazing! I love giraffes 🦒. I thought I heard Jo but I was taking care of my ill family member. Thanks for correcting me my sweet friend

[@crinkledpath]

I’m so sad to hear someone is ill, Gigi. Praying they get better and that you are getting enough rest. ❤

[@GigiHanna]

@@crinkledpaththank you for kind words my sweet friend💕🙏

[@ThePaperMonkey]

Fun stuff Meg! TYFS❤
