[@marysiniawa5371]

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.

[@robinwhite9977]

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 ???

[@pistolannie6500]

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'm not finding the link to 49 dragonflies. Please cite. Thank you.

[@megsgonnamake]

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

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much. It does take a lot of time, especially this video, but its worth it when I receive lovely comments such as this one :)

[@freebird1985angel]

Agreed! I just found your videos, but they are wonderful to watch! Thank you!

[@judithwinner12]

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. ❤

[@gedartcreations2869]

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

[@TreasureBooks]

Aw thank you so much!!! You can sprinkle all of your printables into these more organic projects :) They will add that extra special touch for sure :)

[@tanyasabourin1521]

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 ❤

[@lureesspace]

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.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Jane!!

[@cynthiacooke9785]

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!! :-)

[@bridgetjones8339]

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❤

[@lalagamma4452]

JUNK Journals are lovely! A junk journal with me would be great. 💚💙💜

[@joocy69]

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😍😍😍😍😍

[@TreasureBooks]

Wonderful! Thank you so much!!

[@jmlmjr27]

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!!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so very much!

[@CreativeSpace4]

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!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Misty!

[@juliagietzmann2397]

I was mesmerised from start to finish. You are so inspiring. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos.

[@aprilcarter749]

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 🤗😊💕.

[@TreasureBooks]

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!!

[@annieliz1965]

Loving the sewn cover. TFS

[@janellemasters9714]

I have saved so much of this packaging. It is so nice to know useful things to do with it. Thank you.

[@kkacz7783]

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.

[@kholbrook203]

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 🙏🏻❤️

[@caramcnulty8129]

I love the step by step written directions.

[@nuvoclassic]

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!

[@paulamorra3852]

I absolutely love these covers!

[@priyanarayan8682]

Absolutely loved this tutorial. Thank you very much.

Great job! Love the upcycling! TFS the inspiration!

[@silvertongueX3]

"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😢

[@annthrashtrumbo]

Yes, I would love a junk journal with me series!

[@barbclark69]

Excellent comprehensive video. Thanks. Saved to my JJ playlist and bookbinding.

[@pamhauer-mcbroom7520]

Great project. Thank you!

[@adeleimelda]

Very helpful and inspiring. Thank you.

[@patriciawhitener3398]

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.

[@susanmyrick2913]

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.

[@TreasureBooks]

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!!

[@iamjoannhoward]

I loved this, and I watched it to the end... almost 2 hours; and it was great!! I loved it!! Can't wait til I can sit down to start my 1st junk journal! I love your channel, and your creativity even more!! Thanks for this tutorial Natasha...❤😊
