Community Spirit Was Alive and Well In WW2 Britain

Hi Carol! I love this journal project…a gift from the heart! Very textured and grungy elements, perfect 🥰🌸

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Thank you so much Caroline, it’s a very interesting journal, haven’t done anything like it before 🩷

Carol, I love how the shelter and vegetable garden look now! Your little plants really bring it to life! We’ve been having some severe spring storms and even tornadoes around the Midwest USA, which makes me wish for a shelter like that. For your cover, I like the hanging tag so that you could look at both sides. In the area underneath, perhaps stamp “the adventure of a lifetime”, which I remember you said in a previous video while looking at photos of the children being evacuated to safer places. Just an idea. Cheers from Lynn in Hallsville, Missouri USA

Thank you Lynn, hopefully emphasises the point, growing what you can where you can was a necessity. I’m sorry you’re having storms I hope you are safe even without a bunker. Hanging the tag is what I’d really like to do. I just don’t know if it’s very practical on the front. Thank you for the idea. I think it definitely was the adventure of a lifetime. Hope you’re well. Hugs.🤗💖

Carol: although this is a most unusual theme for a journal, you are doing justice to it. I think the shelter and veggie garden is perfect for the journal. Also, I really enjoy the history that you’re reminding us of. Thank you, Carol from California

Wonderful, I have to rein back the preaching lol.... I agree its not your usual topic its just one I have wanted to make and finding the books inspired me...I thank you for your honest feedback and for watching 🙂

Thank you for sharing this with us and also reminding us of what it was like then! TFS 😊

[@RecraftedByCarol]

I’m happy you are enjoying the journal ! It’s not much in the big scheme but just a little project I wanted to try 😊

[@CreatingwithJovi]

The page you made is fantastic and I really like the addition of the vegetables...it looks great. Love the tag on the front. I will head over to vote.

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Great topic.. my dad fought in WW2 + my mum was in the land army ❤

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Hi June thank you, and massive thanks to your mum and dad for all they did 💖

[@greenspiral2955]

Love the andersen. The title of this vid applies today as it did then considering the forced decline in farming. Your grandfather sounds like an everyday hero :)

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Hi Thank you for watching and yes it really does, with the cost of food more and more people are trying to grow their own, myself included...My grandfather was very cool I miss him ❤️

[@rhondacalderone862]

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Thank you Teresa 💖 things are definitely getting better, I’ll send you an email later hugs Xx

I really enjoy hearing your progress in This World War II Journal. With what is happening in our world today I didn't know if I would be able to Bear watching it. But you are doing a wonderful job and I really do like it. Blessings and love from New Mexico

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Thank you Judie, yes its a sensitive topic, this is why I have hesitated to do it...I am grateful you commented and that you are enjoying the videos so far.. ❤️

[@darleneblackwell6853]

Put down as a side tuck. Maybe some brads on the corners of the tag. Maybe put a tag they put on the children's coats to transport them out of London to safety. I don't know where you could find one, but I am confident you can make something.

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Hi Darlene thank you for the great suggestions 😁 yes brads would look cool on the tag and I have an idea how I can make a transport tag quite easily oooh I’m going to do that now lol x

[@-Lucy-H]

Love your page with the veggies. The very large beans could maybe be cucumbers or courgettes?😄 I remember my mum saying whatever you grew, if there was a glut, you pickled it etc. Maybe that's where pickled eggs, onions, beetroot etc came from? Brilliant topic 💕 just for info, better to be made, but saw a home front pack on Amazon with ration card etc, reproduction not vintage, but thought of you 😊

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Hi Lucy Thank you it was fun doing a bit of mixed media. Yes I remember my grandma pickling and onions hanging in the shed lol. I’m so glad you’re enjoying the topic 😁 Thanks for thinking of me I’m planning on trying to make my own ephemera, I think it would be pretty interesting to do ❤️

[@jeannestauffer682]
