The only white pen I've found to work on glossy photos is called Posca fine tip paint pen. I bought mine on Amazon. LOVE it!!!

[@thehappyhancher]

Awesome!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!! XOXOXO

[@juststephsstuff]

Love it all! I'm more convinced that I need these merry days papers!

[@thehappyhancher]

Thank you!! And you do. Everyone does. Hahaha XOXO

[@papernlace123]

Your album looks great Marybeth ! On a side note you may want to look into using essential oils around cats, I know how much you love your fur babies. Looking forward to the rest of your album! Take care. ♥️

[@thehappyhancher]

Thanks so much!!!! :) And thank you for caring about my kitties!!! You know me and my cats. ;) I actually have looked into safe usage of oils around them- I know this video makes it look like Gracie was in the same room but I actually shut off the diffuser when she came out of our bedroom. haha My vet said it would be okay as long as there's an "escape route" and she's not trapped in a small room with them. So I only diffuse them when she's sleeping on the opposite side of the house and only in my Great Room where there's plenty of room to breathe. :) Again, thank you for bringing that up because some people simply don't know and could be accidentally harming their babes. Glad you didn't hesitate to speak up just in case. XOXOXO

[@LongForgottenMe]

Cute 💕I’d put the joy chipboard with a ribbon closure on the front, keep it simple and sweet.

[@thehappyhancher]

Thanks!! I tried... the stupid chipboard ripped when I took the J out. Lol I'll have to glue it or something. That happens to me a lot with those big chipboard sheets. I love the idea of keeping it simple. :) Thank you! XO

[@MissJess222]

Aww I love your December daily albums! And that is an awesome idea of the view of your coffee table with notes of what everything is

[@thehappyhancher]

Thanks so much Jess!! XOXO

[@ClaraSahara]

Your stories are always so extremely beautifully written ♥️

[@thehappyhancher]

Thank you so much!!!! That means so much to me! XOXO

[@kathyfeigl6438]

[@thehappyhancher]

Hi Kathy!!! I have to check out your videos!! I didn't know you made any. Goodness... I'm the worst. haha Excited to watch now, though!! Thanks so much! XOXOXO

[@SerenaBee]

i'm trying out my journal this year too and i love the way it looks! so many beautiful memories and stories! and of course, another beautifully done album as well!

[@thehappyhancher]

Thanks so much!!! :)

[@clairejordan1547]

Your video is adorable! Your kicking December daily butt! Good job so far it looks amazing, I loved hearing that you got to experience Santa this year ♡ and of course glimpses of little Natasha and Gracie cat! My kitties are the exact same 🤣 I love the idea of taking a shot of your coffee table! I'm going to attempt to scrap lift that if I ever get a chance to sit down and work on my album! Thanks for sharing!

[@thehappyhancher]

Claire... how's it going?!?! Have you gotten to work on your book yet? :) It's SOOO stinking hard with babies. I never did this project when Nadia was a wee one so I had no idea that e.v.e.r.y. time I put my album on the table ready to make a page, that would somehow trigger the sounds of a little girl waking up from a 5 second nap because mama's not allowed to do anything but watch her when she sleeps. LOL ;)

[@clairejordan1547]

@@thehappyhancher 🙈 it's going nowhere 🤣🤣🤣 it's not easy is it. It's like babies have a 6th sense. Just like when you sit down to eat or have a shower! It's been a little more challenging for me as I have Jacob home as he isn't in kindergarten yet, now all 3 of them are home as school is out. I might just call it quits and try and finish it next year lol! It's only my 3rd year so I haven't done with a baby either .. until now 🤣

[@thehappyhancher]

Yeah you've got it worse. hahahaha If Nadia was home all day, too I'd be toast, man. Toast. Although now she's on break from school so who knows if the last 4 days will be completed. LOL

[@carolinesteele5125]

Such a sweet book and the photos are adorable you have given me some great ideas tfs x

[@thehappyhancher]

Thanks so much!!! Glad I could be of some inspiration cause a lot of the time I feel like I'm just slapping things down haphazardly. hahaha ;) XOXO

[@paulaatinamente]

i think this idea is from Amy Vanden brink. I believe i saw that at her channel. It's beautiful😍😍

[@thehappyhancher]

Yes thank you!!! I thought it might be from her! I'll add her channel to the video description. :) XOXO

[@natashahernandez2272]

Hi Marybeth, It was Amy Vanden Brink

[@thehappyhancher]

YES! That's her. Thanks, Natasha!!!! :)

[@SerenaBee]

i think the joy chipboard sticker would look nice on the cover. i think i know who you're referring too, im sure i watched her video too! lol her name is Amy Vanden brink

[@thehappyhancher]

I just told someone else that when I went to peel the J, the stupid chipboard split. That happens to me ALL of the time with those sheets. Another reason why I think they should change how they package those... ;) XOXO

[@alyssaduncan3035]

How do you decide what sizes to print your photo in? Do you plan your page before you print photos or do you print first?

[@thehappyhancher]

Oh Alyssa... there's no method to this madness. LOL! I *think* I normally plan before printing, but sometimes I figure it out after. haha I wish I had a better process, but my brain works better in chaos and without set plans. ;)

[@solangeferreira1759]

I love all of your projects, but most of all I love listening to your stories and how you express them. You have such a creative way to share your moments and you always write the most beautiful captions. I always take the time to read them because they are always so sweet and inspiring. I also love love love your vlogs and your perfect editing. Thank you for always sharing with us.

[@thehappyhancher]

Thank you so so so much!!!! That really means the world to me!!!!!! Truly!!! Hope you have a wonderful holiday!!!!! XOXOXO
