[@julialucas6626]

The Kyoto traveler's cover is beautiful, the charms match perfectly. The journal spread is lovely... moments of self care!

Thank you so much Julia, trying to take these little messages to heart. Today I had lunch with some school friends who I haven't seen for awhile. It was lovely to see them. I'm really looking forward to seeing any other journal pages in response to this weeks prompt, I think it has so much scope! I am so happy I decided to go with the Kyoto cover. I was tempted by the Starbucks Reserve but knew I could only budget for one. I'm thrilled with it! 😃💕 Louise

@@coffeeteapaper You’re most welcome Louise. Glad you caught up with your school friends. I’ll have to check out the journal pages people create! The Kyoto cover was the right choice. Wonderful to hear you love it ♥️ Julia

Super pretty new cover and charms. Loved your vignette page.

[@coffeeteapaper]

Thank you so much for watching Lyn! It is a lovely souvenir to have from Kyoto. I love the page this week too, I am trying to do the little acts to create the moments too. 😊 💕Louise

Another lovely collage….. and the cover of the Kyoto TN is stunning! X

[@coffeeteapaper]

Hi Jean! Thank you so much! I'm very happy with the cover, as you never know quite what you are getting as they are all a bit different and age uniquely as well. I'm looking forward to getting to know mine better. 😃💕Louise

[@muselesscreative]

Thank you, Louise, for your kind words! I like how you used this week's prompt, as always!

[@coffeeteapaper]

You are most welcome Satu! 😃 I'm so glad you tagged me, I love finding new treasures on KZbin!💕Louise

Hi Louise, you did say my name right! ☺ I'm so happy you enjoy the charm, hearing you say the beutiful things you said made my heart melt... Also, your new TN is looking great! Thank you for all the videos, they are so calm and relaxing. And you make such beautiful spreads and collages! 🤗

[@coffeeteapaper]

Hi Ianna! Phew..I'm so relieved...I really hope I'm saying names correctly as it is the most personal thing about us! I love the charm, I'm so grateful that Ali sent me one of your lovely pieces, I've been admiring your work for awhile ☺️ Thank you for watching and your kind words, I really appreciate it! 😊💕Louise

[@SquibbleDesign]

Love the colours of your calm spread! And both sakura charms are adorable! :D

[@coffeeteapaper]

Thank you Squibble Design! I was so excited to receive Ali's gift...I love the whole combination of the Journal from Kyoto, the charm from Nakameguro and the beaded charm gifted to me. Love it all! 💕🥰 Louise

Lovely video, Louise! Thanks for sharing

[@coffeeteapaper]

Hello Bujodogabs! Thank you so much for watching and for leaving a comment 😃 Your photo with your ring planner is very cool! They hold special places in our hearts, don't they!? ☺️💕Louise

[@bujodogabs]

@@coffeeteapaper thanks! That is very sweet

[@kiwipenguin1126]

Dear Louise, I'm in awe how much thought you put in your spread and it turned out so beautiful! Your colours are very delicate and to hear you -may I say ranting? 😂 - about the card design made me chuckle. Thank you for your work and sharing! Sending love around the world to you! 😘 Kiwi

[@coffeeteapaper]

Oh you are way too kind KiwiPenguin!! ...yes I can't help being a little vexed at the card designs sometimes...I just feel they either don't do the quote justice or the design is a little lazy...probably because once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away, I did a course in graphic design. 😆 Then I have thought that maybe if they are not getting any credit for the designs...maybe their hearts are just not in it...🙋🏼‍♀️am I overthinking? yep! 🤣 Sending you big love too! 💕Louise

[@kiwipenguin1126]

@@coffeeteapaper But you are right, some card designs seam to be very simple 😂 And I wanted to tell you that I like your Australian accent! 😘

[@coffeeteapaper]

😆 You are very kind!!

[@dabblinginjournals]

I absolutely loved this video! Your new TN is so gorgeous. I think it may be the most beautiful one Travelers Company have produced! Plus the charms work beautifully together! You made me laugh responding to your card. You have bucket loads more talent than the graphic designer. Your idea for your page was wonderful and it came out looking so beautiful. Love, love, love 🤣Ali x

[@coffeeteapaper]

Thank you so much Ali! I knew that I wanted to get one of the special covers while I was in Japan so I had to choose carefully. I wish I could have them all but the budget said no! 😆 I absolutely love how the cover from Kyoto, the copper charm and Ianna's beautiful sakura flower that you gifted to me work together, makes me feel warm and fuzzy just looking at it! 🥰 I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone's pages around this one, I think it has lots of scope! 😃💕Louise

[@tortagialla]

I’ve definitely been down and not doing much creative journaling… perhaps these calm prompts will spur me into action ! Thanks for sharing and wow the Kyoto cover is beautiful! 😍

[@coffeeteapaper]

Hi Linda, that's not good to hear but we all go through phases of losing a bit of mojo. With the Calm Journal Prompts there's no need to join in each week or use them in chronological order, they're not "time critical" but they're handy to just grab one that speaks to you and run with it if you need a place to start. Blank page that bugs you...pop in a response to one of these! You have such diverse and creative journaling styles Linda, who knows where it will take you! 😃 I am looking forward to seeing how the Kyoto cover changes over time, the one in the store was super different, it is one of the fascinating things with Traveler's Notebooks. 😊💕Louise

[@tortagialla]

@@coffeeteapaper yes, the creativity ebbs and flows! And yes the wonder of TRC covers changing over time!

[@seekingcelestialgrace]

Beautiful Kyoto Traveler. I wish they made the worldwide Tokyo as gorgeous as the Kyoto one. I'll be honest, I've never met a single person who doesn't know who Maya Angelou is and I'm not American! XD

[@coffeeteapaper]

Hello SeekingCelestialGrace! What a beautiful KZbin handle you've chosen. I know who she is now!! 😃 I've been using these cards as a learning opportunity as well, when they use attributed quotes so I am happy to say I totally went down a rabbit hole reading about Maya's amazing and impactful life. Such a fascinating woman and the people she met on her journey! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Much appreciated! 😊💕Louise

[@seekingcelestialgrace]

@@coffeeteapaper Thank you! It's my business name and it Divinely came to me :) Yes, she has the most profound story and I'm so glad these cards allowed you to discover her amazing life. This was a really fun process to watch. Thanks for taking the time to reply!
