The Pooh Bear Collection - keepsake junk journals

The "exciting news" I promised on my Instagram feed can be found below, at the very bottom of this information box. :-)
Every bit of technology that could glitch, did so in the making of this video. This upbeat music video is a re-make of the lost 45 minute talking flip-through of all five journals. Some of the credits, references and thank you's for this collection from the original video are as follows...
The fabulous butterscotch sari silk can be found at VictorianGypsygirl's Etsy: www.etsy.com/s... Thank you Lois!!
The wonderful "floating" folded and stitched pages with pockets attached to edge of pages are inspired by Tracie Fox. Thank you dear! / @traciefoxcreative
The magical Disney Pooh images were from books happy mailed to me from Mary Fleer during her great destashing last year. Big hugs Mary!!
The textile patches stitched to pages were inspired by Nazy aka Amity Bloom. Thanks so much for sharing your talent Nazy. :-) / @amitybloom159
Beautiful tassels, as always, are inspired by Wendy. I always aspire to add some Wendyness to each project. Hugs Wendy Darling. / @wendysjournaladventure
The construction and design of the hard covered journals shown here, adaptable for any theme, is covered in the Complete Junk Journal Course at: ​www.etsy.com/l...

[@MrsCog]

I am so excited for the new Christopher Robin movie coming out this August! The trailer is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZK3oWVuedOXrrc

[@robincarpenter7297]

Oh Mrs. Cog - I want to go back to this time. One of my all time favorite memories from younger days & again during high school. I am simply overwhelmed by your attention to detail & what you captured in these journals. I've seen many of your wonderful journals - this one speaks to my heart. Thank you so much for the journey of memories.

[@lisahodgson2133]

So exciting to watch your journals reflect a less stressful time in our lives. The good old days of being a kid! I thank you! Wish I would have seen them when they were posted, I would have purchased. Amazing, stunning, & joyful.

[@gaillong1459]

I LOVE these books. You have such a talent! Pooh has been loved by our family for generations.

[@bonguy9710]

quite simply out of this world Liz!!!! Remarkable, sweet, delightful and radiant in their golden age and color!!

[@mymartinez3830]

I just play this video with the beautiful music over and over as I craft. That way you are with me and sending me positive vibes! LOVE IT!

[@FindsByPirjo]

Childhood memories comes with this adorable dear Winnie-Pooh journal. I remember reading this wonderful book as a child in Finnish (Winnie = Nalle Puh) and I remember as I read this to my son about 16 years ago.

[@carolinethomasBF]

How lovely. I live about half an hours drive from The Hundred Acre Wood (Ashdown Forrest) where Christopher Robin lived. I’ve played Pooh Stcks on Pooh Bridge too! I was raised with Pooh, Piglet and Tigger and they hold a very special place in my memory and heart. A fitting tribute based on magical books ❤️❤️❤️

[@donnatolle1419]

The Classic Pooh story by A.A. Milne is my all time favorite story. I adore the images of Christopher Robin and Pooh and all his friends. These journals are such a treasure. All so beautiful Liz.

[@reneemoore5845]

I think these might be the most beautiful journals I've ever seen. ❤️

[@bohemianscrapgirl]

These journals are so lovely and their understated beauty is awe inspiring. I love classic poo. I did invitations for a baby shower with paper from classic poo. I love these so much.

[@despinamitsou7258]

I can't wait either!! I remember reading to my children. My son always wanted to eat honey after I read to him.Your journals are to treasure. Hugs.

[@camiliacarrero6480]

Every theme you work is magical....thank you for sharing your incredible art!

[@michellemulligan207]

What’s not to love about classic Pooh?! These are great!

[@CraftingVicky]

wow those books are so gorgeous! Real treasures

[@RevLetaLee]

Incredibly beautiful, I've been saving stuff to make a Pooh journal, not sure I'll ever be focused enough to make something this beautiful.

[@donnavinke4764]

Oh I’m soooo happy i have Curiosities. I bought it for my great granddaughter but now want to keep it for myself thank you mrs Cog It’s a work of awesome art and love . 🤗😍❤️

[@genamomma]

Oh you have my absolute heart with these journals, Mrs. Cog. You took me me way back while watching this. Fabulous work, Mrs. Cog, in all aspects! Loved the stitched kite tail as well. 😆

[@MrsCog]

Thank you so much. The kite tale stitching appeared when I misread the magic stitch number on my sewing machine and accidentally chose that. What an excellent mistake lolol. So I continued with it. I even began playing with other settings. Isn't it funny how things like that happen? :-)

[@VintageBohemian]

Fabulous journals as always. Love the "Pooh" theme. Looking forward to the movie as well. TFS

[@charliedale3029]

They're all sold already? These are just fantastic! I've loved Pooh and the gang all 52 years of my life and the older I get the more I love it. These are just breathtaking!

[@MrsCog]

Thanks so much Charlie! I've sent you a PM via Facebook. :-)

[@lauralangley7240]

These and the teddy bear journal put a big lump in my throat... in a good way! Thanks for sharing some more of your stunning creations.

[@brendafochtman-paperbitsba4003]

These are absolutely amazing and worth the wait. I am blown away, not sure why as all of your work is amazing, but still. I too have quite a collection of Pooh books and some mini albums that I need to make with them. You have definitely inspired me as I was at a standstill with the project. I loved the thread you used and understand now why you needed to go to the store and get more when you ran out. Also, thank you for the butterscotch sari silk source. My order has been placed, with maybe a couple of more items ;D. Thank you Mrs. Cog!

[@suzannefreeman7290]

OMG just beautiful

[@NerisLaces]

Totally Awesome! "Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart".

[@donnapusti7859]

Pooh forever!!! Made me tear up. Love them.

[@tuthillg]

Absolutely stunning, exquisite, impeccable, and whimsical! Love them all! TFS!

[@SunshineLeclair]

Whaaahaaa haaa ... that's me crying!!! I absolutely adore Winnie the Pooh!! I remember when I was small enough to have to jump up on my bed cause it was at my chest ... Christmas morning my two brothers and I would be allowed to take our Christmas stocking to our bed and open them there so mom and dad could have a little more sleep. I always new there would be a little Whinnie the Pooh book waiting for me inside! I always use the Winnie quotes in my journal and in cards ;) Anyway when I saw this video .... I was hoping there would be one left in the store, especially after getting to see it first ;) Not planners but a journal ;) I am totally committed to my planner lol. The Beatles journal sounds nice too. Love your style .... I hope you don't mind there are a few of your videos that I'd like to share in my facebook group, Junk Journal Tutorials ... tnkx Sunshine (aka Donna)

[@RutRohShaggy]

OH -MY -GOODNESS!!!! Such beautiful books, brings back so many childhood memories of reading Pooh Bear and dreaming of having a bear (FRIEND) like Pooh and the others. TFS and bringing back fond memories :)

[@maureenscraftycottage9520]

Just beautiful Elizabeth, I’m so sorry you lost the speaking version it would have been lovely to hear you explaining it but hey ho these things happen and it’s still a great video with lovely music. Always inspirational xx

[@JennKerrPhotography]

💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

[@candicewest1630]

It's almost midnight and I can't stop watching your videos! I just stumbled across one of your videos earlier this evening and I'm already hooked! These Pooh journals have stolen my heart Will you be doing a tutorial for them? If you are, I know what I'll be making my granddaughters for Christmas!

[@MrsCog]

Thanks so much Candice! I created a complete course for making this type of journal, adaptable for any theme. You can find details in my Etsy shop. :-) www.etsy.com/shop/MrsCogsCrafts

[@candicewest1630]

I'll be heading right over there!

[@artcraftjournals]

Adorable. Sue💜

[@thatdayintimebysue3551]

Stunningly beautiful journals! What was the background music? It was perfect for this video.

[@MrsCog]

Thank you so much Sue. The video has three songs. The first two are by a band called Loving Caliber, "You Got Me Too" and "Falling Down". The third is an instrumental version of the song "Sweet Embrace." :-)

[@thatdayintimebysue3551]

Thanks Liz!

[@sandy_521lakestreet]

Those wonderful metal plates on the covers??? Is there a source for those? I am just watching this for the third time! Enjoying all of it! Wish one of these was mine...but I plan on taking your course and making my own! Sandy

[@MrsCog]

Thank you Sandy! The metal word bands are from Tim Holtz. I haven't seen any of these lately in the craft stores, but I know you can still find them on Etsy and eBay. :-)

[@sandy_521lakestreet]

Thanks got them on Ebay! Sandy

[@ImGinaMarie]

Mrs, Cog, I love the Pooh journals and all the journals you make they are truly amazing!! What do you do with the other side of your page you have sewn on; do you put a page over it ? Thank you :-)

[@MrsCog]

Thank you! Usually I leave the backside of the stitched page as is. I write over around a line of stitching when using the journal. If it's ever messy or unattractive on the backside, I just cover parts or all of it with washi - which I think gives it a creative collage look. :-)

[@lindacockram3851]

a lovely vid and stunning journals , please could you tell me what the songs are in the background just lovely......

[@MrsCog]

Thank you so much Linda. The video has three songs. The first two are by a band called Loving Caliber, "You Got Me Too" and "Falling Down". The third is an instrumental version of the song "Sweet Embrace." :-)

[@jenniferrichards-craftings9341]

These are incredible! GORGEOUS! You give me such inspiration for my own journals. Are the planner journals you are working on as well as all of these spoken for? Maybe someday I will own one of your beautiful creations. TFS

[@thebeadfairy1]

I love your work and watch all your video's. These are amazing as is all your work so much detail. Please can I ask what is the name of the song and singer you are playing. TFS. Lyn

[@MrsCog]

Thank you Lyn. The video has three songs. The first two are by a band called Loving Caliber, "You Got Me Too" and "Falling Down". The third is an instrumental version of the song "Sweet Embrace." :-)

[@thebeadfairy1]

Mrs Cog thank you will go look them up.

[@junkerryjournals7924]

And I magically have internet!!!💕

[@starlightcraftsGB]

Lovely journals Mrs. Cog. I have a question... when you add buttons to the journals, do you sew them on by hand or on the machine?

[@MrsCog]

Thank you Stella. I always sew by hand. We can use a machine for buttons? Really lol? My sewing machine knowledge is quite limited. I call it "fake sewing" lol. :-)

[@starlightcraftsGB]

Mrs Cog yes, my machine sews on buttons, but I don’t use that facility because my feed dogs are so stiff they won’t go down. It would also do free hand embroidery if I could get those feed dogs moving! I looked at the Etsy shop for Sarah silk. She has some lovely items but unfortunately she doesn’t post to the U.K. Even if she did there would probably be a tariff imposed on it!! So I will source it over here. I’m sorry you had trouble with your video. I am also having mega problems. I’m thinking of writing a book about it!

[@iteeshollow]

The music credits?

[@carolinebaranczyk4763]

I love Pooh Bear....Is it time for some honey....
