So sorry for the loss of your beloved brother-in-law. From what you said, the first anniversary of his passing was recent or will be soon, so I'm sending hugs along with this comment. I haven't heard the Edith Eger quote before and it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for this glimpse into your life. I hope 2023 has been a better year for you and your family.

[@jneigler]

Kind of don’t know what to say. So sad about your brother-in-law’s passing. But absolutely no one is to blame. Your journal cover is gorgeous and I truly enjoyed the flip through. Best wishes for 2023! Happy New Year!

[@beautifullyworncreations]

Shawn, I am so sorry for your loss. You are a true blessing to so many. Mental Health has always been such a heartbreaking issue. I myslef have been touched by it, but have never lost someone to suicide. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and art with us. Blessing to you. xo

[@farrellsnotebook]

Shawn I was moved to tears as you were flipping through your journal. Thank you for always being there for us on Sundays, and for inspiring us. I’m so sorry for your loss in 2022. ❤ Farrell

[@cgbannister1]

Loved the view of your journey through 2022. Thank you for sharing and the inspiration. So sorry for your loss. Dave is at peace now. Cherish your memories of him.

[@martinac9050]

I am so sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing. My BIL took his life in 2021. I would like to thank you for talking openly about this in combination with mental health: not an easy topic but one that touches more lives than you would expect. And I love your 2022 journal: it’s so pretty! Many blessings for 2023 to you and your loved ones❤

[@carlahenn1461]

I feel your pain. We lost our son in May 2020. The only way we get through it is knowing he is free of mental torture. Grief is another form of love.

[@melindaonamission9511]

I’m so sorry for your incredible loss. There is a lot to process with a situation like this. Blessings and peace to you for 2023. Thanks for sharing! 💜

[@mistyjo6787]

[@elisasaez368]

Hello. I have just finished watching your video and it was a master lesson of inspiration in many senses: first of all, I am so sorry for what happened to your close relative. I hope you and family are recovering from such a loss and I wish for a better 2023 for all of you. Then, OMG! all the art contained in those 47 minutes is just magnificent. Really. The way you think and create, the small details that matter so much, the pages!! wonderful!!! each of them. I had to stop the video to watch them closely and discover all the beauty. Thanks!! You have once again given me so much inspiration, motivation and encouragement! I love to start 2023 inspired by your art!! My sincere best wishes for you and your family. Love, Elisa from Chile.

[@ShawnPetite]

Thanks so much, your words are such an encouragement to me. I'm so glad I can inspire you. I hope you have fun creating and that you have a good 2023!

[@edytaj1940]

Hi Shawn,Thank you so much for sharing your process and allowing us to watch you work this year! I learn so much from you!! Wishing you a wonderful new year 2023. Always remember that you're loved 😘 Thank you 💞

[@chaosinthecraftroom]

Wow so inspiring. Your art work is just spectacular. I'm in the process of starting my first art journal and you have really inspired me shown me how to use an art journal. Thank you for sharing your personal story with the journal you are such a beautiful person and I can't wait to watch more of your videos 🥰

[@pattoodle]

Wow! That's beautiful! Amazing, what a transformation. I'm inspired to try this. Thank You.

[@Hannashome]

What a lovely journal. I’m so sorry for your loss ❤❤❤

[@jennynordin2730]

Thank you so much for sharing, I was very touched by so many of the pages. When you were talking about your scissors it made me laugh because I can relate. Scissors everywhere, but none of them cut well because they either have paint, glue, or tape residue on them 🙄.

[@manolicu9480]

Lovely cover for a beautiful journal😍thank you for sharing and my best wishes for 2023 💜💜

[@lesliewells1062]

I have a pair of scissors from dollar tree for cutting things with paint or adhesive, so I don't mess up my good ones. That might help!!

[@headlessviolin]

Thank you for sharing such a hard part of your life I’m so grateful for you doing this. I love your videos they are so good. My uncle who was like a brother to me as we were very close ages took his life many years ago on New Year’s Eve such a hard time for the family. I’ve had three friends sons take their life in feb how can we help our men to feel better about themselves I wish I knew much love xx

[@yvonnesart]

I am really relating to your methods!! Great job!

[@terrilyons7520]

Happiest New Year. Appreciate you.

[@cindythoms7246]

You are such an inspiration to me. I'm going to try starting up my art again. Blessings to you and your family

[@theresacurrin6395]

Beautiful journal and so inspirational! Life is hard and I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing the difficult things and inspiring us all to keep going ❤️. Your art is beautiful because it expresses your emotions and it resonates with your viewers. Thanks so much for sharing 💕

[@kathyseek6295]

Beautiful journal. The cover is inspiring. And as I’ve said before, you are extra special. Thanks for all you do. ❤️

[@lovelyinlux82]

[@susanstemmet607]

Such a special journal with so much meaning.

[@12STEVENS34]

Thank You Shawn for helping all of us reach our goals. You’re a source of inspiration and you help to ground us. ❤

[@pamelahaun3580]

Hi Shawn. I really like your version of an art journal. Do you have a video of making the journal? Thank you.

[@4alicekg]

WOW! What an incredible difference the black and white paint used with your brayer made!! I've had 2 different size brayers for a while now, and for some reason have just been nervous/overwhelmed to use it? If that makes sense? It's SO refreshing seeing you use it the way you did without a gelli plate (which I find much too expensive and do not worth that price!) Love this video and your content 💞 I haven't finished watching it but I'm excited to see how it turns out in the end! Much love as always 💕

[@4alicekg]

This came out beautiful ❤️ and I feel like I can really see and feel the emotions evoked on each page spread throughout your year. I'm so sorry about what happened 😥 Sending positive vibes your way and to your family 💓💓 I think you're very courageous for sharing that with us. Much love to you as always, and you continue to inspire me with your beautiful art journey 💞💞

[@LeanneNEWTON]

Hi Shawn....hoping you may be able to provide the measurements of the internal pages for this size journal, please. It appears larger than your journal tutorial (free workshop). Thanking you Leanne.

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

your covers are Embracing the Year - your cover came out beautiful - now i have a question lol - if you do not want the elastic to cover your special quote - are you able to allow it to go vertical rather than horizontal? - would that work? just my little mind thinking lol - thank you Shawn - this was inspiring - take care xx

[@rowenaoverton4568]

Lovely work. 🌺How do you make your journals and what size are they please?

[@alysonhovanec6314]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sandramalone8401]

What was the quote about something being on the other side of fear?

[@lynnefibreart]

Is this a bought journal or one you made? It looks amazing 😻

[@ShawnPetite]

it's hand made. I have a free video in my subscriber library that shows you how I do it. shawnpetite.lpages.co/subscriber-sign-up

[@lucianar.domingues9329]

When finished, did you spray it?
