As always, a VERY BIG thank you for watching and for all your kind support and encouragement throughout this challenge. I really did appreciate it.

I can look at this piece of art over and over! It's so beautiful and there are so many interesting ideas. Thank you Carol. We appreciate sharing this with us

[@oakhousejournals]

Anne, thanks so much. I'm so pleased you liked it. BIG hugs C xx

[@leannegordon7439]

Boring??? ... NEVER! Your journal is absolutely incredible Carol - the way you made a coordinating spread out of each double page is just amazing - a true work of art, I love it. TFS.

[@oakhousejournals]

Awwww thanks Sis... always there with encouragement and support. Bless you, you're a star! BIG hugs C xx

[@leannegordon7439]

@@oakhousejournals ... ha ha ha, just not very 'twinkly' at the moment. Nothing a good night's sleep won't fix though (or a bit more chocolate!)

Hello Carol, I haven't tuned into your channel for much too long now! How things seem to have changed up, and I'm loving this particular journal!! Carol, all those tiny tuck spots and creative folds and flaps! I'm dumb struck! Actually, I'm not quite half way thru this entire vide just yet, but I ADORE the picture of you as a sweet little girl and how you tore it and wrote in between the rips. My heart is quickening....now I need to finish this video and then touch base with you once again. Carol, I loved your old tutorials,(lots of sewing and fabric pieces, etc.) and loving these new ones as well...maybe more! You never cease to amaze me!

[@oakhousejournals]

Awwww Lynn bless you for such a lovely comment. You've made my day reading your comment this morning. Sooo flattered you liked the flip through. This was such a fun journal to create and I loved every second of it in the making. So it's the icing on the cake and truly wonderful you liked the end result. BIG hugs C xx

[@Astras-Stargate]

I really love your pages. I was wowwed by a couple of the prompts I didn't watch you make. I tried to watch everyday but of course I fell behind. I love all the interactive bits you have all the way through. Fantastic work, Carol and great videos! Thanks for sharing with us!! ♥♥

[@oakhousejournals]

How lovely and kind of you to say that. Bless you.BIG hugs from me and TFW C xx

[@lynnboyd33]

Carol, this book just amazes me. The one spread that you said was your least favorite as it seemed too grungy for you, turned out to be one of my favorites! Loved the cat peeking out from the burnt grungy ripped papers...and all those old, dusty, vintage books! And then all your mysterious little hidden journal spots. It just spoke to me! You are brilliant my friend. From this point on, I shall be checking in on your YT pages, very often once again! Thank you so much.

[@oakhousejournals]

Lynn, what a lovely comment to read this morning ( we've been away so apologies for the late reply). Bless you for your kind words and I am thrilled and very flattered you enjoyed seeing this journal.Have a fabulous weekend and hugs from me. C xx

[@trudiehudson7973]

Wow! What a wonderful, amazing,beautiful, inspiring journal! Love everything about it. Carol inspiring us as always ❤️

[@oakhousejournals]

Awwww bless you my dear friend. BIG hugs C xx

[@jenniferwatson7118]

SO good to have the overview of all the pages I've watched you do in January! Can't pick a favourite page, though - they've all got such wonderful elements! It's a stunning journal!

[@oakhousejournals]

Sooo pleased you liked the finished journal. I was a bit worried that it wasn't cohesive but in the end decided it was about enjoying the journey and meeting the daily challenge of hitting the prompts, than creating a journal. I'm too OCD at times 😱🤣TFW Hugs C xx

[@patriciapage7197]

No surprise it’s beautiful Carol . TFS xxxx

Your journal is so beautiful! I love the daily log tabs ❤and the peek thru page!

[@oakhousejournals]

Thank you so much. I've so flattered you liked my efforts at this challenge. TFW Hugs C xx

[@addlibrarian]

This is amazing! As a librarian, my favorite page was the bookshelves with the peeking cat. Kind of dark academia. Your entire journal is beautiful, though.

[@oakhousejournals]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Funnily enough that was the one page I really wasn't happy about despite loving books and literature. You have my ideal job...lol. TFW and hugs from me. C xx

[@Bront-ki2im]

I really enjoyed your journal review, each page was a delight. ☺️

I love your journal. I loved the style. It’s fantastic! Ian going to try the Turkish map gold. That’s so cute thank you for sharing

[@oakhousejournals]

Pam thank you so much for your kind comment. I'm flattered you liked the journal. It definitely was fun to create. Do have a go at that Turkish map fold. It's easy and looks great in journals as a journalling spot etc. Have fun and TFW. Hugs C xx

[@AmberGarrett-py6ry]

Interesting and creative!

[@oakhousejournals]

So pleased you liked this journal. Taking part in the challenge at the start of the year really was great fun and it was nice to see my 'efforts' bound into their final journal. Sadly I can't take part in the July challenge due to moving house but I can look forward to the January 2025 challenge...lol. Thanks so much for watching and leaving me a comment. Hugs C xx

[@RF-nq3vi]

new sub - just found u this morning. love the swivel cards! so awesome! TFS ok now edited - I was so loving the first part but am now blown away with the rest of the journal prompts! the garden alone is so gorgeous. I love the journal prompts idea...perhaps that a good way for me to start. TY again -luv from Ontario Canada

[@oakhousejournals]

I am so flattered you liked the flip-thought of my JJJ journal. Some of the prompts were a bit of a challenge, certainly in terms of coming up with ideas, but then that's what I love about these challenges. Plus it's always great to see what other artists come up with or how they've interpreted the prompts, when I've done mine. It's a great way to start, so do give it a try. The only tip I'd offer up is don't get hung up on what you do.... just enjoy the process and have fun. BIG hugs from Lancashire, UK C xx

[@marybarratt2649]

Love it.

[@oakhousejournals]

I'm thrilled you do. TFW. Hugs C xx

[@lvan4407]

Aww So cute love it❤

[@oakhousejournals]

Soooo pleased. TFW and hugs from me. C xx

[@addlibrarian]

I enjoyed the explanation!

[@oakhousejournals]

Brilliant. Wasn't sure if it was overkill or whether to just do it to music. Appreciate the feedback on that. Hugs C xx
