Hi Jibid! It’s great to hear your soft voice again. I remember how I felt when I watched my first Jibid video. I sat here in awe, seeing a book like I’d never seen before. I remember the stitched lines for journaling, the tiny embroidery, leaves and flowers sticking out of the book. You blew my mind! Now this little flower press with everything well-thought-out. I like the precision of it very much. I can see something like it in a pocket letter, maybe more faux than functional. Thank you for returning. Stay as long as you dare. ❤️

Jibid! You were missed!!The timing of these little cuties is uncanny! Yesterday, my granddaughters and I collected and put into books two huge bunches of plants. They are currently being weighed down by a big basket of books. The girls were so enthused about the project that I know their own little mini "pocket presses" will keep them going with their own inspiring endeavors! I have recently revisited several of your videos. I, like many others, missed seeing your talent and welcome you back with enthusiasm!! 🙏🤗

[@jibidneary2212]

that's so kind thankyou April, I missed being here too! what a lovely hobby to share with your granddaughters too ❤x

[@sharongruener6078]

Yes, I have missed you too. You are always full of fun and creative ideas. Love these little flower presses. Blessings.

[@ilselauwers6009]

Jibid, you are one of the most talented persons in the Junk Journal / art journal … World. You have been my inspiration from the very beginning. Your Ocean journal, the steam punk journal are of a completely different level. Your earlier video’s of the journals going alongside the story you wrote and based them on are magical. I am so glad you back and making video’s again. Hope you enjoy the process also without any stress related to it. Thank you

[@jibidneary2212]

such kind thoughts, thankyou Ilse I do appreciate it ❤

[@melodymcdonnell1528]

Such a treat seeing you...not that I ever tire of watching your archived pieces. Sometimes I just want to make "littles" ; to be creative without some enormous project to master. These are perfect 🥰 .

That's great to hear, thankyou melody :)

[@annkathy257]

Yes! A pretty cool idea using playing cards Jibid! Thank you for sharing your inspiration with us! I am always happy when I see a video of yours pop up into my feed! The birds chirping in the background is an added bonus! ♥♦♠♣

So happy to see your new videos. I check very frequently...just in case as I don't always get the notifications for some reason. Saw them last night and had to watch them all (twice) and was very happy to have items still available in your shop since a day had already passed. So glad to have you back. Everything every viewer said is so true. I hope the next videos are not so long as between these and Ocean Song which was truly amazing!

[@jibidneary2212]

I hope so too! thanks so much for your kindness Debra x

I have been meaning to reply to let you know I received my order with my Alice One Shop Pocket Press and both the Earth and Ocean Scrap Cheque books. Also the beautiful eco-dyed card with the botanical and wax seal that you included. I will even be able to use the pin striped kraft paper you used as packing. They are lovely! You never disappoint! I love it when a package comes from you. I only opened the items one a day for three days at a quiet time at night. Such anticipation! Can't wait for something new to order. Thank you for being back.

Thank you! Love this project…great gifts for gardening friends! I’m hoping you show how to add the insert for the flowers. So wonderful! I enjoy listening to you while I’m working on projects.

[@jibidneary2212]

Thankyou Diane :) I have left the insert loose so that you can remove it and press it at home, but you could certainly glue it if you prefer a more permanent arrangement x

[@PerfectFragments]

@@jibidneary2212 do you recommend any particular type of paper? We used to make big flower presses to sell and used unprinted newsprint paper for the layers. But thought you might have a better recommendation. Thank you!

[@jibidneary2212]

@@PerfectFragments yes I do! I have found sugar paper very good, and it is recycled. I believe in the US it's called construction paper? It's what we were given in pre-school to do our paintings on 😁it has a nice thickness and absorbency and a very matte surface which helps, also available in nice colours x

Hello happy to have you back, I have heard different people talk of a letter you insert in all your journals for the new owner. and was wondering if it is something you want to share. Because I have no idea how to put into words about how JJ came about or how to explain what to do with them . Thanks in advance

[@jibidneary2212]

Hi Vicki and thankyou! Re the letter, sure, you can find it on my website to download. Go to Jibidneary.com go to the shop section and then - Freebies. You have to go through the purchase process but there's no charge. I hope it helps x

Thanks DJ, working on one now, will be a few weeks x

I think I must have missed what paper you use for the inside piece where you place your flower or leaf.

[@jibidneary2212]

I use Sugar paper, I think it's called Construction paper in the states. just a bit more absorbent and doesn't have a sized surface x

[@christinehowell]

@@jibidneary2212 Thank you for taking the time to let me know... much appreciated!
