Love your videos. Thank you. I also want to express my gratitude for your courage to talk about depression. I wish more people were willing to share because it helps reduce the stigmatism. I think it helps those who also deal with mental health challenges to not feel alone. ❤😊

[@friendlyquail]

Thank you for watching. I'm glad you enjoy my videos. Depression has been a part of my life for as long as I remember. I don't feel it is a failing any more than other illnesses. It's how my brain is wired, and my mother had, and some siblings have it, too. You are right that it can be stigmatized! I do think it is getting better. Still has a ways to go though! Hugs!

[@handmadeiowa]

I so agree! ❤

[@emilyj8967]

I second that gratitude - I wasn’t expecting that level of openness and it hit me like a ton of bricks. I was so comforted to hear it. Thank you.

[@friendlyquail]

@emilyj8967 hugs to you! I guess a new person watching doesn't know anything about me, so I see where you could be surprised. But if you hang around any length of time you might hear more than you ever wanted to know. LOL

[@acecone7215]

I’ve battled it since I was little… really little. I am on medicine for it but I can still feel it when it hits. I’ll go for a few weeks feeling fine then just lose all will to do my crafts or anything else. Then it’ll lift after a while. I hate it.

[@Trish6124]

Those are the best hidden paper clips I've seen so far!

[@friendlyquail]

Thank you! I really like them, too! Thanks for watching.

Hi…. greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 Happened here by chance and love your Chanel. This paper clip is great, hardly wait to try it! I’ve been in hospital a few weeks so I have some catching up to do 😊 Stage 4 kidney disease and high potassium which causes heart problems, so I guess everyone has something huh! We just do the best we can, I find the arts is very relaxing and makes you feel good so keep on with your crafts, you are an inspiration, Take care, Love and hugs Maggie ❤️🤗🇨🇦❤️

[@marilynmccormick3731]

I just found your channel & read your bio. I'm sorry to learn you lost a son to cancer. I have lost two sons already, so I know the struggle to go on. I think junk journalling was a good choice for both of us to have something creative to focus on, yet it's a forgiving hobby not requiring perfection. Thank you for your instructions.

[@friendlyquail]

Thank you. You touched my heart. I'm so sorry you lost your sons, too. I agree that being creative helps us to focus on other things. I try to stay positive and live every day to the fullest since he did not get to.

Treasure Books paper clip 👍🏼

[@friendlyquail]

I had to go look. Hers are slightly different but same idea. I put the video I watched in the description. I saw paperclips similar on Two Old Crows, and Sparkbird Studios, as I said in the video, but the ones with the tabs were from Moira Grey. Treasure Books is an amazing channel. Thanks!

[@littleskipperdaycare]

Love the chance to learn something new every Tuesday. Thank you

I just retired from teaching Fifth grade. 11-year-old boys were my favorite. I miss them already. Love your channel. Maybe I can adapt to retirement after all. God bless you.

[@friendlyquail]

I taught every grade from 3rd to 12th at one point since I had 3 different certifications. Loved those middle schoolers! You'll love retirement though- just do things every day that you love to do! (And these videos are my way of still being a teacher!)

[@foundersmusicmedia5772]

@@friendlyquail what a wonderful way to stay involved. My situation is though that I don’t have any solitude or quiet time at home so I kind of have to pick stuff. I can be distracted during or interrupted while I’m doing it which is really frustrating for a person like me… But I know I have to adapt to this new stage in life although I think of my classroom all the time and I’m hoping in the fall it won’t just be awful trying to figure out how to live my life without going back in that wonderful music room. But I know it’s all blessing and I shouldn’t complain and so I won’t. Thank you so much for sharing. It means a lot to those of us who are kind of at loose ends.

[@friendlyquail]

You'll find your way! I'm positive!

Hi Carol, You showed up on my feed and I watched your video and subscribed! 😂. I just love those hidden paper clip tags, the added little pocket on the front is something I would of never thought of. The texture you achieved coffee dying that matte paper is great, really looks like leather. You should do a video on that. Thank you for the inspiration! I also struggle with depression so I totally understand where your coming from. 🌻

[@friendlyquail]

Welcome to my channel! Glad you enjoyed the video. Re: depression, there are a lot of us out there, I think!

Hi! New to your channel. Loved what you crafted today! Fellow recently retired teacher here! Started my channel in march and it has become such a passion! Love finding such talented, real to life people like yourself! It is so exciting to meet a new friend! ❤

[@friendlyquail]

Thank you! Glad to have you as a new friend!

[@missmitsi1]

Loved this tutorial hun! YOU my dear, have a lovely way of teaching & inspiring us too! I found my love of crafting during lockdown here in the UK as Covid19 hit the world ! I also learned to crochet, but making books & ephemera ( from pretty papers & recycled ceareal boxes , envelopes etc) is so therapeutic to me too! Keep up with your amazing talents & brill positivity too hun... We def need more like minded, inspiring tutors like you! ❤❤❤X

[@friendlyquail]

Thank you! You made me blush! I find working with my hands to be like meditation. My husband says when I go in my studio, he doesn't know if I'll ever come out. LOL! I love it so much! I have done needlework since I was 9 years old. Crocheting, knitting, embroidery, quilting, etc. Since I started making journals, I don't want to do anything else. I'm so glad you found me!

I enjoyed you video. I have seen this technique before but you make it look very easy. I plan on giving it a try.

[@brieoshiro]

This was a fun little project. I made three along with you. Thanks for the clear instructions. I don't have that file punch thingy so I made a template and hand cut some for myself. Turned out cute. Def might invest in the punch tho, for more consistent results.

[@friendlyquail]

Thank you! And, thank you for watching and commenting. I saw a punch on Amazon.

Just loved the paper clips 😊 I just subscribed to your channel 🎉

[@friendlyquail]

Thank you! Welcome to my channel! I hope you will find more videos you like, too! Check out my previous videos. 😀

[@rkug777]

Lovely!!!! I just bought some large paper clips yesterday and was going to make something. These are so unique and pretty❤

[@friendlyquail]

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching! Be careful though, they are addictive! Enjoy making them!

[@rkug777]

100% agree it’s addictive. One thing is my clips are 2” long and sometimes the length of the cardstock folds don’t match up… one fold is longer than the other although it’s all covered up. May be it’s me. I’ll make more for sure. PS: just read the comment about your ordeal. I’m so very sorry for what you’ve endured 😢My sincere prayers for your strength and peace 🙏🏼

[@friendlyquail]

Just make a minor adjustment in the length of the original length of the paper. Try 7 and 5/8 instead of 7 and 1/2. Some of mine had that, too, but it's inside the pocket, so you don't see it. Play with it. 😀 And thank you for your concern.

[@rkug777]

I just noticed that your cigar label one did have uneven edges but still works fine. You’re so kind to respond so quickly every time. Truly grateful 🙏🏼

[@rkug777]

Btw, if you haven’t seen Louise Hay’s videos on positive affirmations and healing etc, please check them out. She was an incredible inspiring woman who lived till 91 despite early struggles of abuse etc. But her positive thinking, spiritual videos and books have gone viral. Free videos on YT. Very soothing voice too. I’m a person of faith but I am more into spirituality, compassion, kindness etc. Doing yoga meditation and listening to such videos give me peace and joy. Plus my art/crafts when time permits after my day job adds immensely to my well being. Best wishes to you ❤.

Spiritual strongholds are broken through praise. I played praise music to break down the walls [ of my mind] of Jericho. God bypasses the mind and enters directly into the soul ❤. Last week it was broken. 1 yr of GOD THERAPY. It is possible. Also, biology proves that every neg thought creates a physical presence in the brain, and it can be removed in 21 days😊 by ➡️ speaking the opposite truth to the deceptive thougt. This is so wonderful, I feel blessed to be able to share this information with you❤❤. It is written: Christ was tempted by neg data, the scripture was twisted, BUT Christ SPOKE THE TRUTH correcting the lie➡️ and the enemy ➡️left❤. I had an injury yrs ago and spent 1 yr speaking scripture to my body building my faith and I was healed over a period of 1 yr. GOD HONORS OUR FAITH. I HOPEyou put praise in and do this for hours every day, and watch The Holy Spirit move in and empower you to dominate it. ❤ AND THAT WILL BE YOUR MINISTRY. RIGHT HERE❤❤❤

I am a very spiritual person.

This is my favorite way to Make hidden paper clips. It turns out so professionally! What brand mat photo paper do you use? I’m Going to make a few of these to give as gifts. Thank you for sharing. I’ve suffered from depression too and take medication. Hugs and kisses!

[@friendlyquail]

Thank you for watching! I use Canon matte photo paper. I print on the brighter white side and dye the pieces I cut off. Because of the chemicals on the photo paper side it gets that yummy look when I coffee dye it. Yes, depression can be nasty, but we got this!!!

[@one2one183]

Question where can I get that cute little tab punch you used? Adorbs!

[@friendlyquail]

It is a retired Stampin' Up whale tail punch. I paid dearly for it on eBay. Mine was never used, and it works like a dream! I see that there are whale tail punches on Amazon now, but I don't know how well they work since I haven't used them.

[@friendlyquail]

Thank you for watching! The corner punch is a Kadomaru PRO. I love it! I have a memory keepers corner chopper, too, but I like th Kadomuru

[@friendlyquail]

Oops hit too soon! I like the Kadomura one much more! It makes such clean cuts. I only use the MK chopper now is something is really thick I got the Kadomura one on Amazon for $12.

not sure if i missed where is link to original creator of tabbed paper clips? These look beautiful by the way.
