This is a great idea for those boxes. I bought some last year and they've been in my car since then. They're a little flimsy for gifts, because I got the ones from Dollar tree, but they will make great covers for a journal. Thanks for sharing. As always so inspiring. Waiting for our next meet up. Hopefully we'll see you sometime in January or February. I really had fun at that first meet up.

[@desertdweller8374]

I'm a recent Patreon (I've watched youtube for YEARS and never joined a Patreon but I couldn't resist yours!!!) I'm currently binge watching your channel and I love this one so much! I cannot wait for Christmas next year where I will be buying all the beautiful paper, boxes, and ribbons to make my journal! You are so talented!!

[@Anaswonderland3]

Hi! New subbie!

[@Abreaux715]

I am so happy to have found your channel. I love this idea. What suggestions do you have to keep the papers from rolling up on itself, if that makes sense? Just add some cardstock to them?

[@christinamain2829]

❤

[@joannagg9707]

Love your videos. What do you use or put in a December daily journal?

[@cheryl7447]

Where can I see a video of you embellishing the journals?

[@Floyd69]

Could you staple the middle vs sewing, I am not good with Needles. I can not sew lol

[@pitamarisa1851]

May I ask, what is a December daily? I am quite curious

[@angiebeaty9621]

How much were you selling these for. I love to make journals and was planning on doing craft fairs again, but I don't know what to price them. Ty!

[@Bagsandthingsbysilvia]

Those wrapping papers seem thicker than the usual ones we have in Australia and they tear so easily 😢

[@palaciostexasbeauty2872]

I'm a new subscriber can you link a tutorial on a little golden book junk journal PLEASE

[@thriftyday]

Hello and welcome!! Im not sure if I can leave a tap-able link here but if you go to my page you can find a whole playlist about how to make a journal:))

[@cordeliasbs32]

I cant help but buy too much paper tye day after Christmas! I missed why you chose fabric glue instead of pva?

[@thriftyday]

you can definitely use either, but I think fabric tack is nice for this just because it dries a bit faster:))

[@MariaM-yn9tl]

Can’t wait to make one! Thanks for all the inspiration! Mariaknits27 💃🏻💕🏠📚🧶🧵
