I’m giggle because I imagines “bear trees” when you said “bare trees” and I kept wondering if I had ever seen a “bear tree” and then it hit me!! I entertain myself pretty good!! Nice to hear your happy voice and awesome journal! Thanks Ronda!

Thank you! 🤗

[@geminidream4347]

Agreed on having diversity makes things more interesting. Also like you, religion and politics has no meaning for me to like someone. And yes I Celebrate Christmas. I still run to a window to look for the sleigh when Norad announces it's flying over my area, reliving the excitement of the night when I was a child, and i smile. LOL on the hubby scare! Smiling now too.

[@sheilaironside8099]

Ronda it’s so good to hear your cheerful voice and watch as you tell us your thoughts as you work. I like using Christmas pages from my collection of books and like you , don’t worry about glossiness. It’s the beautiful images we can enjoy that count. Thanks for always sharing your faith. I lost my hubby in May this year so am so thankful for my hobby of making journals. Blessings from Betty in Ohio. Sorry so long a post😘

❤️ always a joy spending time with you. Today I crafted along with you and had the best time. Me and my little doggy are on a two and a half week long roadtrip through Germany, France, Chech republic, Holland and and Belgium. We are on the last leg of our journey and looking forward to next time. I say we. I feel sure Pelle the dog would agree if he could speak human.😁 Sending lots of love to you, you funny loving woman.

[@RondaWinsteadRondawithoutanH]

Oh how wonderful! I hope you're having an amazing time!! Pelle is loving his trip I'm sure!! 🤗

Hi Ronda, I learnt Pitman shorthand and typing at college in UK around 1979/1980 had those books! I too ended up with lots of words per minutes, especially when electric typewriters came in!😊 xxx

[@RondaWinsteadRondawithoutanH]

What fun memories we have!! 🤗

[@Llerrafy55]

Wasn’t bored at all, I did have an argument with you about which page to use as the front and back cover, but I did think once you had chosen the red fabric for the spine it went well with the star. The world needs prayer, thank you for your prayers.😘👍🌏

[@RondaWinsteadRondawithoutanH]

Thanks for joining me sweetie! It was hard to pick which to use...🤗

Lol!!! "And then she said...thanks sweetie!!

[@geridevries839]

Hi Ronda! I love sitting down for a chat with you! I saved you for the end of my day where we won't be interrupted and I could unwind from the day. You are such an inspiration, in life and crafting! I'm grateful for having you in my life! This walk through of how you decide on pages is fun and educational. I love how you do you! You like glossy pages, so you use them. Some people refuse to use them. I'm learning if I like it I'll use it! My dad had a small business and I helped him design some of his forms. I'm going to put some of them in my journals! Then I'll have some of his, my mom's and even my grandma 's handwriting in the journal! Not as interesting as rag pages for others but for me it will be perfect! TFS! Hugs and prayers from South Dakota 🤗🙏💜

[@RondaWinsteadRondawithoutanH]

Oh Geri you're the best! Thank you for your kind words!! Yes, use your dad's business forms! 🤗

You go girl. It says pray without ceasing. You are in the will of the Lord and that is the best place to be. You pray for all those that God lays on your heart. You are in my prayers. We pray for one another. I love your videos and your inspiration. I learned shorthand and typing from those books. I was second in my class. The lady that sat acrossed from me typed 110 wpm. I wasn’t that fast. I loved both classes.

[@RondaWinsteadRondawithoutanH]

Thank you Ruth! 🤗

[@debk1915]

That was fun! Never boring! 😉 (Hey lady, no apologies, right!?!😉🤭) I had watched a couple of your older videos today so it was really nice to see a real time video and spend some time with you.❤️ You tore just fine with that ruler, lol. But I know what you mean about it…haha…Rachel just zips along with it making it look so easy and I…🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 I do like using the ruler to tear, but my skill with it is sorely lacking next to Rachel’s.🤣 Thanks for spending time with us, I enjoyed it. So happy you were feeling up to it.🥰 Love this cute little journal idea, too!

[@RondaWinsteadRondawithoutanH]

Thank you sweetie!! I know Rachel makes using a tear ruler a breeze...you and I know it's not! Lol! 🤗😅

Hi Ronda, so nice to see what you have been up to. Glad you are doing ok. I learned Pitman’s shorthand. The American Gregg system looked pretty daunting. Love your little journal. I’ve yet to finish one but I’ve started a few. An eclectic mix of Xmas ephemera gives an interesting look in your creation. Much love x

Thank you sweet Mary!! I didn't know there was more than 1 shorthand type...I learned something new...🤗
