Thank you!! I was just wondering what I would search on xoxo

[@eileennielsen3607]

Natasa, I'm really at a loss for words. For what you create, for your SHARING it, TEACHING it, "giving away" your ideas, your work. Not many people are like that. You are an INCREDIBLY talented, gifted teacher. Not everyone has the gift of teaching even if they do great work. You are very clear, explain well, have a calming voice, give us confidence(me)! even write out the directions! You are such a beautiful person inside and out and I proudly call you my TEACHER! Thank you so much and God bless you!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Eileen!! You just made my day :)

[@Collageartist69]

Ditto!

[@divahc1]

Exactly! Teachers are born, not made! To be a great teacher you need passion-for teaching, for your subject matter, for your students, for learning and for sharing. Natasa, you are and have all these qualities.

[@pennyc7064]

Totally agree!

[@karenegan1688]

Agreed! 🌸 I hate background music, as well. It takes my concentration away from what’s being done & I’ve, at times, stopped the video before it’s finished.😠

Thank you so much! Of course you can make a beautiful gift! Absolutely :)

[@darnelleechols8556]

I have to say, I love the idea of the waxed thread. I'm sure that's much more durable than just plain embroidery floss. (That's something that has always bothered me). Also, I've always saved cards because I liked the image, or for sentimentality, but I've never thought of using them in a journal. Thanks for the great ideas and thanks for letting us see you finish this lovely journal. ❤️

[@julieparker1114]

I love waxed thread as well. It gives it more grip.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you Darnelle. I only use embroidery floss with mini notebooks, but never in an actual large journal :)

[@shirleylaboy603]

Thank you for doing this tutorial. Finding the right pages to put in the journal and arranging them can be frustrating at times but your tips put it in order and it makes sense. 🙂❤

Oooooh! If got so excited to see that you had another video up❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ Thank you Natasha, you are my favorite favorite channel. I just love your style! I love your box of papers. I always wonder how to organize my stash, which is growing very quickly. Just this morning I went to a yard sale and got some old farmers almanacs, science encyclopedia, stamps,blank cards and envelopes, a wooden box, some lace, washi tape, spatula for spreading gesso or something, for less then $20.00. And a big stack of papers.

[@TreasureBooks]

Oh wow, what a lucky find!! Enjoy !!

[@patwaldorf935]

Natasha. You are a treasure. Thank you, you are a natural teacher.

[@mirabellepeterson3447]

I am so happy you don't just assume that everybody knows how to do this and how you go step-by-step and explain things so clearly. I've been working on junk journals for 2 years now and I am nowhere near your expertise. So I love that you go through and do some things over and over again

As you know Natasha, I am one of your biggest fans! Your videos are always so concise and so easy to learn from. I wonder if you’ve ever considered a video on how you film your journals. I’m sure a lot of us would love that. I like to film my completed journals to my Facebook page but they are usually so horrible I don’t. Thanks for sharing your wonderful techniques with us!

I am truly not having enough words to describe your efforts and creativity. This was just gorgeous to watch.... And your hardwork is just at another level. Creating journals, listing instructions, embellishing pages, shooting the video, editing, uploading..... I just wanted to convey a large thanks to you for enlightening me with all this creativity & innovation ❤️ Love from India.....

Thank you so much Ishita. I can't even tell you how many hours this video took to film, edit and do all the work. Over 10 hours! And that's not including the video where I did the covers.

[@TreasureBooks]

To be honest, I barely buy anything. Most of my stuff has been collected over the years, at different places, things on sale, and like I said, thirft stores. Most of it was before Covid. Odd things, here and there I got on Ebay, like my Silent Setter for example. Got some of my stuff from Facebook Marketplace, when someone local was selling their supplies. Thats an awesome thing to look out for. I once bought a huge amount of stuff from someone who was giving up their scrapbooking hobby. And it was all one very reasonable price for everything. If I had an actual shop for basic supplies, I would share. I do like Kaisercraft. Thats the only one I can think of.
