Spectacular and magnificent way of putting together a gorgeous journal. Thanks for sharing this beautiful. 🧡🌟🌞👍🌻🤗

[@debbiesavage7107]

Perfect! Thanks so much for sharing! I’ve been a bit intimidated with the traditional way to bind a book. So much precision. This is much better! Yay!

[@TeacupAndRoses]

Hello :) I am like you, I never make patterns or take measurements, most of the time I do things on the go ... hehehe ... (that's complicated if you want to do tutorials, but, everyone will follow their style ... ) I get stressed when I do very "perfect" things. I have struggled against perfectionism for many years, it is somewhat difficult when you are a person with a personality trait "HSP" (highly sensitive person). Maybe you never heard it before? Maybe you would be interested in reading or watching Elaine Aron's videos. Anyway, I really like the way you work and your beautiful journals and style :) I'm glad you broke the barrier of shyness from your first video, and you're making more and more videos and cute things for your store. A hug!

[@queenbeeetta]
