4:09 so I squeeze the air out of the sugarbelle bottle, join the two, then squeeze the fabrifix bottle and slowly let go of the sugarbelle, bottle. This “makes room” for the glue to go in without worrying about burping over the side when the hole seals up with glue. Another method is to put a small coffee straw beside the fabrifix bottle just below the neck in the opening to allow air to get out while putting in glue.

[@leannel1381]

Thank you Pam for being so real with all,of us! Your phrase -any mistake is a happy accident, make me feel so much better at what I am doing! I was watching another JJ tutorial and she kept saying it has to be perfect……I am feel a little inadequate when I hear that! Needless to say I am so much happier with your way of thinking! It still needs to look good…..Anyways thanks so much for this beautiful Journal! Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year! ❤📕❤️

[@roseapple8786]

Miss Pam, you had me rolling with laughter by hearing the noise you made filling your glue bottle. I love this journal, so pretty. You are fantastic with your creative mind. Thank you for sharing and God Bless.

[@Lisa_In_Canada]

Filling the glue bottle made my day! That was an award winning demo 😁😆🤣🤣 Thank you 💕

[@marygranado5972]

Pam you are a doll!! You make crafting so stress free, relaxing and fun as it should be ❤❤❤

[@janoirmoon5099]

Good morning Miss Pam. First let me say I love how real you are. I miss that in our increasingly fake world! It was cool seeing the stylized leaf and pumpkin ( which is not only a gourd but also a squash and a fruit!) because I also have this set. This journal turned out amazing! I can't wait to see what cool ideas you will lay on us in 2023!

[@janistaylor7314]

Great series! What’s next? Happy New Year🎉

[@margiemistretta8885]

I asked my brother to make me a caddy so I can place glue bottle at an angle to be at the ready without having to coerce the glue out. Works amazing

[@scottfranco4542]

That is amazing

[@thepaperatelier.]

Love the stamping and stenciling on a whim without overthinking and the randomness of the stamps and stencils you choose. It all looks so cool in the end.

[@rhondamitchell5892]

Hi Pam, Enjoyed the Nuetral Series. I just finished my first journal and sent it to my sister. I really appreciate you sharing the note in your newsletter explaining the junk journal to add when you gift a junk journal. You make tge journey enjoyable. Hugs❣

Pam, I live in Illinois, and the temperature here is supposed to be 45 degrees today, but very windy. I will take that weather over the cold freezing weather we had last week!

[@pamschmidt138]

I use a slight amount of Vaseline. And works for me...I have hand issues so I have to. Maybe the upside down bottle makes a difference. We all have tricks that works for us. Love ya!

[@bernicedeakins5043]

Lovely time well spent as always. I'm looking forward to seeing where you'll take us in 2023

[@kathymachen8342]

I had the most fun watching you put the glue in the bottle !

[@michellejanossy4125]

Wrestling with the fabric fix transfer is almost a days work in itself! 😂 Love the making a journal series. Always sad to see them come to an end. Hope the new owner enjoys her!! 💕

[@chellebcreations4358]

I saved the top of one of the larger fabric Tac bottles and put it on the one I’m filling from. When done, I take it off and put the original top back on. It helps to clean the threads of the bottle with alcohol before putting it back on. I also clean the “fill top” with alcohol too. Plumbers tape works especially if you clean the threads with alcohol on the part without the tape. Figured it out after way too many stuck tops, lol.😊

[@lindadubey2041]

Thank you for this tip on transferring glue. This should help me solve some my problem

[@DeniseS-6867]

Hello Pam & Sunshine, looking real spiffy after your pup bath. I enjoyed the neutral junk journal series. I love the stenciling in my junk journals and yours was fabulous. TFS

[@sueleblanc2152]

Great journey on the neutral journal. I am with you happy accidents in junk journaling. Happy crafting

[@brendabrown8027]

I absolutely loved this journal journey to the very end! It turned out beautifully! I was one who got fooled by the troll! I was told to contact you on Whatsapp and even had a number but I couldn't even figure out how to use the app so no worries. I just got excited because it stated you had a special surprise for me 😂 I can be so gullible!

[@pennytucker2186]

Thanks so much for the neutral journey. My favorite so far. Thank you for the transferring of glue demonstration. The struggle is real. Lol We won't let that stop us. Can't wait to see what you have in store for 2023. ❤

Oh Pam every video you take me on such a fun 🥳 journey thank you 🙏 I got a sketch journal with master 6's art as the front cover. I've had a blast adding pockets & tucks & embellishments in readiness for my family, 10 of us, holiday to Tasmania. I can't wait to sketch, water colour, & journal my way around Tassie 🎨 This neutral journal series has really helped me build my confidence, let go, & just have fun. I wish you only the best throughout 2023 ... happy crafting from Australia 🇦🇺

[@amythomas9204]

I agree, the smaller cap on the sugarbell bottle is easier to open. I do wrap the threads in the white silicone tape that is used in wrapping plumbing pipe thread - and I put on new silicone tape often. It helps a lot :)

[@sandrasheldon881]

I love how you craft Pam! Watching is so much fun & I get so many ideas. Hope next year is just fabulous for you.

[@lourdeselena4771]

Hello Pam. I think I love absolutely everything you do, even the foibles. I just got back from Christmas in Chicago where it was bitter bitter cold and I am very happy to be back in South Florida. I have to tell you that I explored a great antique mall while I was there and came back with some interesting old papers and a baggie full of S&H green stamps. The hunt is always a lot of fun. My finds included a book from the late 1800s in gothic text (Norwegian) a few magazines from the ‘30’s with great ads and a very cool math book from the ‘50’s.

[@carolynnixon7095]

I love to wake up to your video's. I don't know if I told you about my wood stamp organization idea. They take up so much space. I saw lady peel them from the wood and put them into a 3 ring binder in base ball sleeves. Each one is on a thin plastic, easy to pull out. I tried it and instantly had 4 empty drawers. I put them into categories. I know you have a lot of stamps, more than me. I just wanted you to know. Wishing you a Happy New Year and many blessings to you and your family.🎉🥰🥰🥰

Hi Pam. I recently bought a bottle of Fabrifix and the top section is different. The orange cap is about 1.5 inches and screws on and off. Also, the very tip could be cut off and the stream is pretty thin. They may have redesigned the bottle’s top section.

I read a tip to get one of the silicon grab pads(to open jars etc) and put the ink pad on it when wanting to use dauber one handed. It holds the pad from slipping. I have tried it and it does help a lot!

Love your videos. And love the fundles I have bought. I have bought a Bible on eBay from late 1800s. It is missing part of the genesis chapter. I bought for the cover to make a journal. I am going to use the book pages but I have decided that I’m not going to tear or cut or glue. I think I’m just going to include a few pages from the Bible in my gifts that I make and give. That way they are still legible. I can’t sell them. I was taught that we are not supposed to sell the word of GOD. But I don’t know. Anyway your awesome.

Pam, thank you for your newsletter and the free digikits. I noticed that the digikits aren’t aligned on the page. I’m having trouble with the alignment of the pictures on 8 1/2x11 paper when I print a page 📄, it’s using 2 pages. The 2nd page has the bottom of the first page; therefore cutting the bottom portion of the page off at about 1/4” at the bottom. This happens each time. Would you check that the margin at the top is smaller. I’m having to use extra paper 📝 that is not cost effective. Thank you, in advance, for looking into this. Cheers and Many Blessings, Adelina 😊❤

Suggestion: Instead of cutting the top off the new bottle, simply use the already cut top from the now empty old bottle. Then you can use the uncut top to reseal the now half empty new bottle instead of using masking tape to try to reseal it. As for sealing the threads of the icing bottle, try putty or maybe some pliable clay either in the threads or around the top before screwing the cap on.

[@elizabethflorez2372]
