Set Up My Journal Kit With Me

[@quicksilver_jenna]

"Being a female is hard sometimes. We're exhausted. I'm exhausted. Are you?" Sister, you said a mouthful!

[@nari8429]

Your "tier system" for packing is a game changer!

[@melissabridge5687]

Why is so relaxing and satisfying watching someone go through or stuff their delfonics pouch. It is one of my favorite videos to watch. I switch my content out every 2 weeks or so in mine, right now. I too, have a tier system of different size pouches. Probably because I love bags and pencil cases!!!

[@GirlandQuill]

Cases and pouches are a great love of mine, too. I just love containing items.

So feeling this video! I’m an exhausted female and recently diagnosed with diabetes. My 5 year old is distance learning at home, and just feels like their is a lot going on all the time. Hang in there, in the trenches with you! ❤️

[@sandramathews651]

I love the tiny tins. I have oodles of these!

[@italktonotebooks6740]

Did anyone else hear “journaling in tears”? 😂 It really do be like that sometimes

[@GirlandQuill]

This is so funny 😂 Yes, it can definitely be that, too!

[@westerngull]

Thanks for sharing Anna! Such a fun video, of course I watched until the end! What a good idea to have a multi-tier system of journaling kits. I always have my stuff scattered when I want to use them, so I think I'll follow suit and create something like this. Same here, not leaving to journal, but going to various parts of the house sometimes requires different kit sizes for sure! Also - I do have to leave the house for work. I barely have time to do anything there, but when I get a break, it'll be great to create a little mini system to take with me in case I feel the urge! Pre-stamped bits are a great idea! Thanks for always sharing your ideas and all your lovely stationery and journals! Take care! Now, I've got some work to do :)

[@GirlandQuill]

I used to have a mini kit for work, too for break time. It’s a great way to fit in some journaling if one doesn’t have a lot of time. Hope you have fun setting up a system!

[@Sara-vq9fp]

Love the mini mint tins!

[@GirlandQuill]

Anything mini is extra fun, haha.

So happy to see a new video from you today! And this is just what I needed on a Saturday when I can't go outside not just because of COVID, but also because of the wildfire smoke that has descended on the city of Seattle where I live. :-( Like you, I am I am totally feeling that strain of staying at home, working from home, and losing so much of the day to day social interactions that were kind of automatic during the pre-COVID era. I also feel exhausted at the end of the day, and I don't have kids! I can't fathom how parents are coping with this situation. Try to go easy on yourself about not being able to "do it all" right now. There are many, many people who are in that boat with you right now.

[@GirlandQuill]

I have several friends in Seattle reporting on the smoke, I can’t imagine not being able to at least go outside and enjoy nature, especially since that was a great option for social distancing during this time. Sending good vibes your way!

[@MarianAmanda0919]

Enjoyed your conversational style and I definitely got a few great tips, like stamping labels and using tiny tins. Thank you for posting!

[@GirlandQuill]

Thank you so much!

[@EmilyKariya]

Yep, exhausted Mother here, listening to your videos to help me fall asleep after being desperate for bed all day and as soon as my head hits the pillow I am wide awake worrying about all the balls to juggle! It's ok to feel tired from a situation whilst simultaneously recognising how lucky you are to be in it. I wouldn't change a thing but I worry about my health all the time. I'm setting up a health journal for 2021 and I am the same as you, i basically don't enjoy exercise haha. But we have to try and add it to our list of thinga to sort out and find time for. Good luck and I hope you share how you set yours up please! Xxx

[@GirlandQuill]

I think it’s hard to make time for one’s health when today’s society is always go-go-go, get everything done and bragging about lack of sleep. So odd! Good luck on your health journal, let’s stay motivated to take care of ourselves. :)

[@Kai399scrap]

Hi Anna, how are you? This video came up in my suggested list and it is one of my favourite videos of yours! :) Haven't seen a new post from you either here or on IG for a long time - miss you! Hope all is well with you and your family.

[@SkySpiral8]

It's been gloomy here in NYS until today. Warm and beautiful and sunny out today.

[@GirlandQuill]

Yes, the gloom has been setting in almost daily here. We get peeks of sunlight once in a while. So lighting candles is a must around here. :)

[@MandaFandaa]

Right away noticed your Buckeyes. We have a small tree that has produced exactly four buckeyes each year for the last two years. And we are a family of four. :) I also love your little tins. They are so cute.

[@GirlandQuill]

How fun! I love bits of nature surrounding my journal space. :)

[@darkmoonlady2002]

I just found your channel and just love it. Thank you for sharing, it gives me ideas on how to organize my delfonics pouch. Love seeing all of your tins and stamps and things. I do wishful packing of my art bag even tho I'm stuck inside too due to Covid. If I missed it I'll look but have you done a tour of your craft room? Mine is not organized. It's out of control! Going to spend between now and late spring turning it into useable space. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@GirlandQuill]

Thank you! I don’t have an updated room tour yet, probably will do that in the near future. Yes, I do wishful setups of when I can go to a cafe or travel again.

[@lorihartman4094]

I do the same thing with mint tins! Every time I travel I buy mints from that city just for the tin as a souvenir

[@GirlandQuill]

That is such a fun souvenier idea! And an easy one to pack home. Love this.

[@catierandy8579]

Your video was so therapeutic for me, thank you!

[@GirlandQuill]

Thank you! You’re so sweet to say. :)

[@morganesplanet2061]

I love the black cat stamp! Perfect for Halloween 😁 I hope you ll do a flipthrough of your Amazon notebook. Take care of you Anna.

[@GirlandQuill]

Thank you, Morgane!

[@catherinebrown5476]

I am not sure if you are aware that a brilliant contemporary British author called Sally Beauman has written a sequel to Rebeçca. The novel looks into what may have happened. It's called Rebecca's Tale and is available on Audible too. I was sceptical initially, but found It very compelling.

[@GirlandQuill]

I had heard about a sequel, but glad to hear someone has a good opinion about it. I’m adding this to my reading list. Thank you so much for mentioning it!

[@vblack7770]

Try John Jakes' series, starting with "The Bastard". Sooooo good.

[@linerlova]

Hello I have fallen down a rabbit hole searching sore mommy inks, please help me get out! What are they and how do you use them lol

[@Emi10673]
