I'm excited about the Christmas journal as well, I'll be hunting for the perfect kit to make Mara her book. Hugs to you and blessings for a wonderful week. xo

Hi Barbie - I have really enjoyed watching your crosswoad collages - your going to meet yourself backwards with everything you have going on! I have found subscribers can be quite fickle - but your stuck with me xxx

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Carol, I'd never leave you ......... good golly! You have a great group of gals, tide and true for sure. You have so much to offer and it's always a joy to sit with you, watch and listen. You are exactly correct on how'll I meet up with myself in this book. 🤣 It's been fun and should really continue. Next up ............. Christmas! Thanks for all your support and love. Tell hubby I said hello and ask him if he needs anymore books to read? xoxo

Hi Barbie! This is a fun project Thank you! Have a wonderful day 😊❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you so much and it's so good to hear from you. I'm so happy you enjoyed this creepy, Halloween collage! I like the lighter side of Halloween but sometimes, creepy is good. The flowers and little bird on the left add a nice, light touch. Have the best week ever and a wonderful Sunday. xo 🎃🧡

I've been have no fun making birthday cards out of cards I find at the thrift store. I collage them with personal touches that I know my family members like. But they're all surreal art. And, they've been loving them. And I have loved making them. My currently file has a lot of images from the first nativity. Of course this project will be special, it's been coming along great, when I go to my fave thrift store it's like the magazines with those images have just shown up. I love it when that happens. I too have all boys. Five. But they're all ages. The youngest is 21. And he's still at the university. So I'm justa cutting away. Have a great rest of your week.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

@teambailey1160 Wow, 5 boys 💙💙💙💙💙 You are truly blessed. I would have loved 5 children and would have loved to have had all boys. It sounds like you have your hands full and that's a good thing. Your cards sound amazing and I never thought of creating surreal cards with ones you've already purchased.......that's brilliant. You are so lucky to have things 'just appear' on the shelves when you go into your fav thrift store. No such luck over here. TFW and sharing your life with me. Have a great week and I'll see you soon. xo

[@YvonneA60]

Wonderful seasonal collage, love it!😍Weather in Scotland is mild but mainly wet! Cannot wait to see your Christmas journal ideas. Take care of yourself and your familyxx❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

@YvonneA60 Thank you, Yvonne ☺️ I can only imagine how pretty Scotland is after a rain. Some photos I've seen of your beautiful landscare are just gorgeous. I'm excited about the journal as well, it should be fun. thank you for your well wishes. You take care as well. Sending hugs and blessings your way. xo ❤️

[@teambailey1160]

What a great idea! Can't hardly wait to see the finished art piece. I think you could make a beautiful collage out of a picture of a potato sack. You are so creative and talented. I'm going to look for a crossword puzzle book like that one.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

@teambailey1160 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Oh, you make me laugh! Your comment about the potato sack ....... well, may not so much but thank you for your very kind compliment 😊 Do look for a crossword puzzle book, I'll be continuing when this one is complete. These little collages are just too fun not to continue. I love so love your commnets and enjoy hearing from you. TFW and have the best week ever !! xo

[@csk5654]

You read my mind gf! LOVE the crossword puzzle collages! Hope Mike is doing better. TYFS Cindy

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks, Cindy. I'll be on the search for another book, it seems everyone enjoys these and I hate to stop. This was a fun one and I'm so happy you enjoyed it. Mike is doing better, resting, reading, hanging with the girls outside and catching up on a few Netflix shows. All the things I use to do 🤣🤣 maybe I can get him in my craft room !! xo

[@tatteredpaperandlace2905]

Such a cute collage Barbie….that brother and sister are really out there! 😀 I love that Halloween collage book. Might have to get that one. TFS

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

@tatteredpaperandlace2905 Hey Pam. Yes, isn't that Halloween cut and paste cute? OMGosh, so many very cute images. TFW and yes, the brother sister duo is really creepy. 😱😳😱😳😱

[@Vanitasmortedigital]

Barbie sounds like you are getting into a new collage groove,this Halloween crossword spread is fun,I love the fact the brother is out in Halloween drag with his sister for some retro trick or treating in their spooky neighborhood(Matt) hope hubby continues to get better and stronger too,you are both in my healing prayers

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Oh, thanks so much Matt. I thought this was a fun one for sure. I love your description of it all. Hubs is doing well and taking it easy, as he should. Thank you so much for your continued prayers and concern. I hope you have the best week ever, full of creativity and wonder. You're one of the very special ones who pop in and I can't thank you enough.

[@joymeadows3646]

Hi, Barbie! This collage is kinda' spooky but not really. It came together very nicely. The touches of orange brightens it up a bit. Looking forward to November's Christmas projects. Recently I started on my Christmas cards which is always a fun time for me. Have a beautiful Sunday! xoxo

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks, Joy 🎃 All creepy fun, but I will say, I can't wait to move onto Christmas. I thought the orange brightened it up a bit too and I love the flowers and that sweet little bird. It's a beautiful day here (again), a bit chilly but I'll take it. The sun is glorious and very welcoming. Have a blessed Sunday and the best week ever! Hugs. xoxo

[@amyspaid9031]

Great collage! I’m happy hubby is doing better! Sounds like you and the boys are doing great at work, also. We just moved from a house to a condo and I’ve been sick for a while so unpacking is slow. Crafting isn’t in my near future, unfortunately! I’m happy to see you back and crafting. Take care of you too ❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

@amyspaid9031 Amy, hubby is doing better but does sleep a lot; but that's okay. The boys and I do make a great team, but boy, am I tired. I'm hoping this coming week I won't have to be out in the quarry and the office as much, but we'll see. You're move sounds WONDERFUL, boy, would I like to downsize. Take your time unpacking, it can all be so overwhelming. I do hope your ailment is nothing serious and you're back on your feet in no time. Have you been reading while down? I so wanted to grab a book and read when in Cleveland but my mind wasn't ready for any type of reading material.........only old TV shows I could escape in and not have to think too much. Don't worry about your crafting, your supplies will be waiting for you and as far as me back in the craft room ......... I'm in there when I can make a date with my desk and supplies. 🤣🤣 Take care, gf and enjoy decorating that new condo! 🩷🩷🩷

[@itearpaper]

Love the way this turned out Barbie👻🎃 Those two are pretty creepy! 🫣 I’m sorry to see the crossword collage series coming to an end. If I remember correctly it was the reason I started following you! But you are always coming up with original ideas and inspiration so I’ll be sticking with you 😉❤️

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

It's only coming to an end in this book. I believe I'm going to continue in 2025 ...... new book new collages. I always love your comments and I'm so happy you are sit with me. We'll do some fun Christmas pieces so stick around. Hugs, gf and have a great week. xoxo 💖💛💖

[@elizabethnaisbitt1795]

Your pages are so awesome and so creative. Btw no worries about the glare on my end of the screen. I am so sorry you've lost some of your subbies, surely people would realise you had a lot to deal with and that your life comes first, but sadly, some people can be very mean and selfish.I love the idea of your Manilla envelopes, I made a journal using the large envelopes you sometimes get with cards, took me ages to collect and it's taking me ages to get in the mood to use it now I've made it lol. Tfs xo

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

@elizabethnaisbitt1795 Thank you, Elizabeth for your comment !! I agree, sista with everything you said. ❤️ I'm sure your envelope journal is wonderful and such a great idea. Sometimes the things we have to wait for and be patient with are the best things. Have a great week and I'll see you again! ❤️❤️

[@teambailey1160]

Sorry, I could not find your email. So this is how I'm getting a message to you. Barbie, thank you. I just watched your video titled creating a surreal collage start to finish... I've seen many creators cutting out images from magazines. But I always wanted them to tell me why they chose those images, what was their thought process behind that choice. And, you DID. You are such a gifted teacher, thanks ! I truly get inspired from watching all of your videos.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

I am so happy you enjoyed the why, how and because! I think it's so important to pass on tips, tricks, ideas and much more to my viewers. This is why I am here, to teach and help. I also like to give credit to others, when credit is due. I am truly blessed to have wonderful subbies who enjoy my take on collaging, etc. You comment is so very kind and I truly appreciate all your words. My email is [e-mail] ........ feel free to email me anytime. I'm not always good about checking my mail but I do!! 😉xo

[@iamjoannhoward]

Hi 👋🏽 👋🏽 there ! I'm Joann, and I'm new to your channel! I was referred to your channel, as 1 of 3 that ai perhaps can follow, as it was suggested to me that perhaps I could follow you and join in on some of the 'challenges' you initiate to keep me learning this craft, and to help improve my own watch time thru joining challenges. I hope you don't mind my sharing.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Hey, Joann and thanks so much for watching and leaving a great comment. I'm here for others to get new ideas and inspiration. Thanks for sharing your words and I'm so happy to have you here with everyone else. Enjoy the videos as they come your way and have a great day!

💜💜💜TFS💜💜💜 thats rude you lost so many subs. wow... I am still subbed to some people who've not made a video in over 10 years just in case, you know? HAHA

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

@ChelleBeeby Hey, gf 🦋🌼🦋 no kidding ....... right !! Nothing like kicking you when you're already down. 😳 At this point, life is too short to worry about petty sh*t ... it just makes me wonder and ponder about humanity, which I've been doing a lot these last 3 years 🤐 TFW and I hope your days are sunny and bright. Hugs, gf and thanks again. 🌞🌞🌞
