pen pal 🌼 happy mail flipbook folder with me | tutorial

hello my loves! many of you asked how i made this folder on instagram so i decided to create a more in-depth video explaining my process!! as you may notice, there is no intro or outro for this video, something i normally create for all of my videos. sometimes i completely avoid making an entire youtube videos because filming the intro and outro gives me so much anxiety. I DREAD it sometimes. other times, i love it! i feel confident and like myself. right now, i don’t feel like i can put myself in front of a camera without totally having a panic attack so instead of pressuring myself to do the thing i normally do, i decided against it this time. because WE DO THE BEST WE CAN and be proud of that. thank you so much for understanding. and because there’s no outro, ill say it here:
IF NO ONE TOLD YOU THEY LOVED YOU TODAY, I LOVE YOU!!!!!
and don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell icon if you learned anything new or if you just wanna be friends :) i’m grateful!

Thanks so much for sharing! Every time I thought you couldn’t add something else, you did. Very time consuming but well worth it in the end. I hope that I can figure out how you made the back pocket. Gorgeous!!!
