What adorable mini Polaroids! Daily journaling is so difficult but look at what a lovely collection of simple memories you get to preserve! Love it…🤍

[@janetnash]

Lynn thank you so much I do love miniature makes. This is the only time I ever did a daily journal for a month you’re right though it is lovely to go back over the memories. Do hope you have a relaxing evening and good nights sleep ❤️

[@Paperlover123]

There is not another Janet Nash anywhere! You are just wonderful! Flo is sweet to share an ephemora piece with you! She's an angel just like you! 💜

[@janetnash]

Julie thank you so much 😊 oh yes wasn’t Flo sweet to share, as we always say. ‘ sharing is caring ‘ so hope you are able to find some moments to create this weekend ❤️

[@TheCrabbyCrafterlol]

Freddie!!!!! 🖤🤍❣ Funny the lengths we'll go for craft fodder, lol. LOVE the pups romping, ohhhhhh to have that much fun 🤗 @12:25 that collage with the rainbow-ed music pages -sooooo -YUMMY! This is probably OLD news, but I find that the camera on my phone is about 1,000 times better than my antiquated scanner, so instead of scanning items I take a quality pic (and it's infinitely easier!) Not only easier, but clearer and much more usable. OOHHHH MY GAWWWWWWWD Freddie pup just melts my heart. Such a sweetie.

[@janetnash]

Ker lovely to see you 💜 oh found items are such fun !! Absolutely no way ! thank you so much I had never thought of using the phone, game changer. Little Freddie as a pup looks like a little toy doesn’t he, how amazing is photography to capture this little moments for us ? Gentle thoughts coming you’re way 🐾

[@CatHand]

I love looking through your journals, Janet. They show us the hours of fun playtime you have had! Also lovin’ your mini faux Polaroids - I think I’ll make some! Thanks again for all your inspiration! 😊❤️🐾

[@janetnash]

Thank you so much Cat for you’re lovely words. The little faux Polaroid’s are so fun to make, ( love anything tiny ) I bet Flo is going to make some too. Have a restful and creative weekend ❤️

[@CatHand]

Yes, they ARE fun! I love tiny things, too, and I jumped right in and started making a few… thank you! I hope you enjoy a pleasant weekend, too! 😃

[@janetnash]

[@dokidokiforest]

Hello Janet! 🍄🧚‍♀💕✨ Thank you so much for the mention! 🥰 It’s so fun to create different kinds of mini faux polaroids isn’t it? I absolutely love how your pictures turned out. They are so cute and just as if Flo might have snapped them on her adventures! 🧚‍♀ Love that daily journal you kept - every page is just gorgeous. I really love the look of the cut flower fabric against the painty paper and the page with squares of all different papers with gold edges. And what a wonderful Mummy to Freddie you are - taking him to the park so much! Little puppy Freddie is toooo cute!!! 🐶💕 What wonderful memories our journals hold - thank you so much for sharing! (Oh and I LOVE that fan etiquette card! That is FANtastic!) 😉

[@janetnash]

So lovely to see you, thank you very much 🍄I just couldn’t believe we both had these mini Polaroids in last weeks flip through, I just had to make more. They are very much Flo size you are right ! 🧚‍♀️ FANtastic ! 🙂 we had a little gathering one of the people collect fans, so we put this in their birthday card ! they did have fun ! Have a wonderful weekend. ❤️🧚‍♀️

Alicia you are so kind and thoughtful, you are such an encourager. You’re work is beautiful and vibrant just like you 🌈 and instantly recognises able and unique ❤️

[@lyndagilbey9063]

Thank you, Janet. I love this journal; it's busy. chatty, fabulously created and hugely interesting. I know Lloyd Park very well but haven't been there for a thousand years! Thank you also for the nostalgic memories. Love it.

[@janetnash]

Lynda, thank you so much for you’re lovely encouraging words. Oh how interesting, we love Lloyd Park, we just feel so blest to live so close. You can walk for miles up into the Shirley hills. Was there a cafe there when you knew it ? ❤️

[@aliciamott1396]

This video is MISTY and DREAMY TO ME , I think it’s pretty , I’ll look back at it after cataract surgery in both eyes , lololol it’ll be first of March , then I’ll rewatch , I actually look soo forward to getting my eyes fixed

[@janetnash]

Alicia I will keep you in my heart that day and while you recover. I am glad Spencer will be there if you need him ❤️

[@Doraandducky]

What a lovely flip Friday. It’s so interesting to see things we have done in the past and lots of good memories. The art was lovely I’m no journal writer either but you did a whole month that’s a challenge. Freddie is so sweet like you shadow. Flo is becoming a craft fairy. She’s getting happy mail she has become world famous. Love it all thank you for sharing ❤❤

[@janetnash]

Julia 💕🌸 thank you so much. I always find things I want to make again when I do the flip throughs ! Fun 🦊 Flo’s desk is literally overflowing, she has been creating most of the day ! 🧚‍♀️ Sending love x

[@kristinasshack]

Thanks for flipping us through your journal Janet and taking a trip down memory lane with you 💜 So nice to see Freddie running around with his friends 🖤 💛 I love your little faux Polaroid pictures 👍 And Flo’s little journal & happy mail 💌 Tfs 🌻🌻

[@janetnash]

Kristina thank you so much, yes what a wonderful trip down memory lane thank you for joining us ❤️ we love a bit of fairy ephemera 🧚‍♀️ have a magical day tomorrow after a good nights rest 🫖

[@martiseelye6443]

I so love browsing through your journals. I could never show mine. Not every page anyway because I journal long pages and sometimes it wouldn't be prudent to let the world see what I wrote lol. The fun pages and pages I've drawn in or collaged would be ok. What I write on tags are poems or quotes usually. I don't tear things out but I have borrowed tags or Journaling cards or floating pockets from journals to use in another one. Freddy as a puppy! How cute! He's still cute 😍. Thank you sweet friend, for sharing your memories.

[@janetnash]

Oh Marti thank you so much. This was my first foray into actual journaling, I just did it for that month. I am more visual. You’re journals sound so expressive and I imagine so helpful. It is hard to imagine Freddie so tiny isn’t it, I love looking through his little photo album 🐾. have a lovely weekend with hunny ❤️

[@pampusscat4513]

Thank you Janet 😊 💓 and love ❤ to Freddie and Flo . What a pretty white flower 💮 at the end.

[@janetnash]

Pam so lovely to see you, rest well nite nite from Freddie, Flo and myself. I believe the little white flowers is hawthorn 💛

[@DreamWithCaroline]

💜🎶Good day Janet.. I did it again.. watched without commenting.. it was to early morning when I view it .. Good grief .. Good morning Freddy..... Beautiful journal.. love how you take things out whenever you flip through.. thanks for sharing your personal journal.. it was freezing rain two days ago .. everything is still covered in ice .. maybe dangerous in some spots but oh so beautiful in the sun .. glitter everywhere 💜🎶🇨🇦

[@janetnash]

Caroline thank you so much for you’re lovely words. 💜 I do hope you have had a cosy, warm and creative day. The snow and ice are so beautiful when they catch the light of the sun, so inspiring and magical. Freddie sends his love ❤️ 🐾

[@sorginak257]

Lovely as usual, it's just so nice to journal with you on my screen. Thanks for sharing your inner peace and inspiration, Janet.

[@janetnash]

Veronica thank you so much for you’re lovely words it is so wonderful to know you are journaling along with me. Sending gentle vibes you’re way ❤️

Awe a Cozey cuppa tea and a good story. All snuggled up with Abby for a spell. ❤ it’s priceless 2019 😊

[@janetnash]

Lovely Beth 🫖🐾 love to you and the girls all cosied up together. This was before I started watching KZbin I think ❤️🐾

[@susanlee8023]

Yes, I agree with you that the Friday flip-through is a creative cup-filler - we can feel the joy of creativity in the past, the present, and the future! I’m always surprised by how vividly some memories come up from the pages. Thanks for this nourishing time. ❤

[@janetnash]

Susan thank you so much, yes the memories from the words or the creations just come flooding back, some almost surprise us ! do have a rest this weekend and hopefully some time to gently create 🌉❤️

[@lalagamma4452]

You make my day brighter, TY for hanging out with me when I am feeling sick. 💕🐞

[@janetnash]

Lala glad to keep you company, it does help to have a bit of a distraction. I do hope this week you begin to see signs of improvement ❤️

[@lauravasquez169]

You flip through was so relaxing and like having a little tea together. ❤❤❤ I like little tiny projects.

Aww thank you great to have a cuppa and create together. Oh me too ! Keeping life simple 🩵 Happy creating.

[@janetnash]

Jennifer 💙 that was Freddie’s first weekend with us the family came to meet him. He looks like a little toy dog doesn’t he. I remember him enjoying running round the garden with my nephew !! Sending you healing, peaceful vibes 🧚‍♀️ I peeped in the room earlier, Flo is so busy with her Happy Mail !

[@evelynrauseo467]

I love the fan etiquette info you found in your amazing journal. Nancy Springer, an American YA author, wrote a series about a fictional younger sister of Sherlock Holmes. One of the mysteries had Enola Holmes communicating secretly with her fan!!! I highly recommend these books if you like mysteries and the great Sherlock. Your mini Polaroids are an awesome idea!! TFS. 🙏💌

[@janetnash]

Evelyn thank you so much. I absolutely adore the Sherlock Holmes novels and have avidly read and listened to them on audio books. I have watched a little of Enola Holmes on Netflix but haven’t seen the fan one. Isn’t it hilarious how they communicated like this !! Sending love ❤️

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

Janet your videos are so very special to watch - so enjoyable - and filled with inspiration - This journal flip thru was wonderful - a treasure of memories and oh dear me lol Mini Polaroids - i cannot wait to make some - thank you for all you do xx

[@janetnash]

Shannon thank you so much. I got the lacy cardigan at a charity shop when we were on holiday this year, I thought at the time if I don’t wear it I can make it into ephemera !! Hope all is well, Happy crocheting 🧶

[@ArtJunkie]

@@janetnash yes it looks very pretty on you. I’m at Sarah’s house babysitting her cat Beddin. Beddin is a special cat because he is more like a dog. He acts like a dog but cuddles like a good cat. I love the opportunity to cuddle in the lounge chair or in bed with my grandbaby

[@joenperkins2138]

Love seeing all you have been doing. I am hooked for sure. Now I will never get any house cleaning done. Lol. I am making plans to junk up some of my regular everyday journals. I have kept for at least 45 years and it will be lovely to junk one up. Let you know how that goes. Hugs and blessings

[@janetnash]

Joen how absolutely amazing to have journaled for 45 years what a blessing that must be. Collecting memories and sharing feelings. I know you will put you’re own personal spin on junk journaling. Oh yes when housework gets in the way of creating !!!! ❤️

Love the coat to your cuttle! What an inspiring journal

New subbie here. Thank you for the flip through. It’s so funny how we forget what we have made in the past. I was at my sons house and noticed a beautiful journal, I thought who made this it’s gorgeous! I opened it and saw that I had made it. LOL!😂. I love how you love Freddie. I have a labradoodle named Maggie. She can’t be my craft buddy yet because she is a puppy and wants to eat paper! I love the art in the journal and your cute stories. 😊

[@janetnash]

Jan so nice to meet you, thank you for you’re kind words. Oh I totally get that, I flipped through a journal and couldn’t believe at some time I had the patience to sew neatly in three signatures !!

[@janetnash]

That takes me back, oh when Freddie was a puppy, how exhausting !! yes how they love to shred paper !! Have some fun times this week creating and spending time with little Maggie 🐾

[@lisajayne3859]

Hi Janet , so lovely seeing Freddie enjoying time with his friends again xxx Thank you so much for your flip through Friday xx your journal is beautiful and i love your idea of tabs with little notes on , I tried journalling by writing but I found that I got overwhelmed by doing the same thing each day xx I love my days but not much difference in journalling so I do love visual more than writing a lot xx Your collage work is so beautiful Janet I am learning to take note about using less things because it looks so lovely and appreciate more of the collage xxx I get too many ideas on one paper and not liking it xx Did you learn about collage use of a number of things or colours at one time Janet ? Any advice welcome xx Love your faux Polaroids , I have lots of stickers to use so brillant just adding one xx I tend to get too cluttered in adding everything at once xx I am learning hopefully less is more xxx ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much Janet for your beautiful videos with Freddie & Flo & Primrose xx bundles of love to you all & your lovely family too xxx ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@janetnash]

Lisa thank you so much for you’re lovely words. Freddie had such a lo time with his friends and Molly dog came round to the house too. I tend to be visual too, this was the one and only time I did a daily journal. It’s funny I usually think of myself as a more more more on a page sort of person, I think I go through phases, no right or wrong way really. Maybe it’s how we feel on the day ! Have a fun and creative time with you’re art supplies this weekend. ❤️
