[@MiCottageCrafts]

[@strandnixe1]

Woooow, Jeanette, what a great idea to do a circle fabric journal. Love, love, love this. thanks for sharing and for inspirations. Hugs Beate

[@MiCottageCrafts]

You're very welcome Beate and I so glad you like the idea :) I'm thrilled with it :)

[@annmarie6545]

Simply stunning! I have to admit that I got a bit teary-eyd when you first opened the book - the beauty of the pages, the little stories with each one (like yours about your very first ribbon embroidery sample!) and the time, thought and effort each person put into their works of art really touched my heart. I've never learned to sew and am so envious of those who can! Your comments about trying anyway have really encouraged me, so I just might give it a whirl. Thank you so much for sharing; I love your creations and your videos :)

[@MiCottageCrafts]

Ann Marie this is such a lovely comment and I'm so glad you were moved by what all the ladies had done even it was way out of their comfort zone they still gave it a try :) I hope you do try something yourself and find much enjoyment in it :) Thank you so much for watching xx

[@patscraftyhaven]

This book is looking just amazing, Jeanette. Love this idea. This is such a wonderful book to cherish. There are sure a lot of talented ladies in Australia. TFS Patrizia xxx

[@tinlizzie4444]

Beautiful circle journal!! Loved every single page and how the ladies wrote on their tags!! This journal is a treasure!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)

[@MiCottageCrafts]

Thank you Liz, it's a treasure indeed :) Thank you for watching

[@helenrace4454]

Love your circle journal!! This would be soooo much fun to do! I love the thought of having something from the ladies on YT all in one journal. Your journal is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much for sharing! Love this idea!

[@MiCottageCrafts]

It's a great idea and I'm so very happy that I decided on this theme for my journal. I would love to do another one with the youtube ladies at some stage :) tfw

[@helenrace4454]

Scrappin Happyxo If you decide to do one internationally, I'd like to be considered. Would the postage be too much? Would the participants be doing a page for just your journal or a page for each participant? Would each participant be getting a complete journal. example: 8 ladies doing a page for 8 journals or 8 ladies doing a page for one journal? Is this something like a "round robin"? Is the journal put together before the pages are decorated or after? I've never done a "round robin" but have heard of them.

[@MiCottageCrafts]

Hi Helen :) I'll have to give this some thought as to how it could work for International but not be too expensive for everyone ... I'll get back to you :)

[@ThePaperAddiction]

Love it - I am making one myself from lace and fabric from my Grandmother, this is inspired me to finish it! ....finally. xx Michelle

What an awesome idea. It turned out beautifully. I am trying to do a fabric book for my daughter but since I don't have a clue it will be by trial and error.

[@rio1888]

So beautiful and what a wonderful idea. I totally understand about not being sure of working with the paper...I always say I am paper challenged...lol...tfs...Annie

[@MiCottageCrafts]

haha yes 'paper challenged' I like that ;) Thank you for stopping by Annie :)

[@serenity6883]

Jeanette, I am in awe of the talent that went into this book, it is so so beautiful. What a wonderful idea to do. When did you originally send it out? Just wondering how long it took until you received it back. I had seen an art journaling book being sent out but never knew the same thing is being done with other types of crafting. Do you video tape the pages of the other books you've participated in? You could post it after it's completed to give details on your techniques. You are so talented. I am so glad I found you as I'm learning so much. Thank you. Niki

[@MiCottageCrafts]

Hi Niki :) the journal was originally started back in about January/February and I received it back a little later than expected, it should have been back in around October because only 8 ladies ended up joining. I didn't video any pages I made as everything was meant to be a secret from each other and I didn't think to, perhaps if I join another one I will film each month's contribution :) Thank you so much for stopping by and watching :)

[@JuneAngelPews]

I HAVE WATCHED THIS NOW 4 TMES!! Love this sort of thing, we call it a "Round Robin" over here in the UK and I was involved in a fair few. Did you (and those involved) always insure when posting? Mind you, perhaps your postal system is not as bad as ours?! I was always terrified my books would get lost! This is fabulous Jeanette and what a lovely pre Christmas gift. Hugs June x

[@MiCottageCrafts]

Oh my '4 Times'!!!! but yes I think it deserves that, lol ;) We did indeed insure there was a specific posting date, we had to keep to a schedule and notify if there were any delays. We also had to ensure we would follow through with the swap regardless, I mean we couldn't enter the swap if we didn't intend to finish it. Most ladies used the postal tracking so that we knew when things were delivered :) It's gorgeous isn't it June and I would so love to do another :) tfw

[@86karlz]
