[@mariaconti9704]

Barbara, after watching and following you for almost a year I so enjoyed your story , part1. I too love the SW of the US, where I have lived for over 10 years. I now will be going to part 2 to get to know you a little more. Thank you for all your sharing about yourself and your art journaling. 😷🤗🥰😍❤️

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you Maria! ❤️

[@m.milagrospastorizacolon3448]

Thank you, for taking the time to share so much about yourself with us all. I am a newbie to the craft world, your voice and method of crafting drew me to your channel during the quarentine. I live in New York. I am looking for part 2.

[@tonyasimington7862]

I really like how thoroughly you answered the questions but at the same time how efficiently you moved through them. Well done.

[@49dragonflies]

Tonya Simington oh thank you, Tonya for your kind feedback! I’m so happy you enjoyed this! ❤️

[@jnordfors]

After following you for so many months, this popped up. It was so nice learning more about one of my favorite artists. Your voice gets all giggly and girlish when you talk about your husband. So sweet.

[@KellyGrahamLloyd]

WOW!! You were very generous with us all - thank you for sharing so many interesting things about your life! You said you “chickened out” a couple times along your journey; but I’m sure you’ll agree that we end up where we should. Also, you’ve done a lot of travelling and more than once you’ve started new chapters - that takes courage and an ability to recognize self-worth! I applaud your sense of adventure!! I look forward to part 2 and would love to put a face to the voice (and hands! lol) if you’re comfortable with that😀 Thanks again, and I hope you do extremely well on your exam. I’m sure you will; because it’s clear from your videos that you don’t do things without a full effort and you persevere until you achieve excellent results! Stay well! ❤️from🇨🇦

[@49dragonflies]

Kelly Graham Lloyd Thanks so much for your very sweet feedback, Kelly! I agree that I am where I need to be and obviously I was not ready earlier in my life for what I feel ready for now. Honestly I’m not comfortable yet showing my face, but maybe at a later time. But I will share my early journals in part 2 tomorrow 😊

This was wonderful Barbara! I’ve been following you for close to 2 years but just found your “getting to know me” videos. I have loved this one and am immediately going to watch the next. I have a question though regarding the base for these clusters. Are they kjust book pages folded vertically then horizontally at an angle? I love them!

Thanks Linda and yes, that’s right!
