VINTAGE JUNKJOURNAL SUPPLIES & AN AMAZING HAPPYMAIL GIFT

[@renaschlegel2487]

Yes please, File Folder February!!! ❤

[@sandikalin636]

I’m sure you’re relieved about the diagnosis. Worry is the worst part of health issues. Yes to file folder February please. That was fun last year (Can’t believe almost a year ago, ) What a wonderful friend you have in Barbara. Love that journal. Take care

[@loram.9070]

If she doesn’t have a video on making this album, Gail Agostinelli does it’s a waterfall journal. It does look like Mica. What a wonderful gift! Thanks for sharing.

[@DorisWatts-d2g]

Girl! I have so missed your videos! Continue to heal. You are prayed for and you are loved by us all!

[@DeniseS-6867]

Fabulous haul & Happy Mail. Yes to File Folder February. Take care❄💙❄

[@dawnbrosnan7186]

You have amazing crafting friends!!! They way you share stuff and make items for each other that is worth more than Gold! Dawn

[@JoySibley-l4t]

A hundred people have probably already answered but just in case they haven’t it’s faux mica. Natural mica is a mineral that separates into large flakes. It was sometimes used (turn of the century) to make beautiful lampshades among other things. So glad you don’t have to face surgery although I know you’re going stir crazy! Great treasures today and wonderful waterfall journal ❤

[@cynthiatinker2657]

I understand how you feel. I was offered surgery for my back condition as well. I decided against surgery. Here in America everyone jumps to the quick solution of surgery. But I am a nurse and have seen the statistics. I would rather give it the time and avoid surgery. My job awarded me the time. I know many people don't have that luxury. I hope your recovery goes well and is as speedy as it can be. Try not to get bored as that will cause you to become discourage. I watch craft videos when my pain becomes intolerable. It is my distraction while I wait for relief. Ice packs to the back help me a great deal too. Thank you for sharing the wonderful treasures you received.

[@dianeschneider7442]

Good to hear that you are making progress. Thanks for sharing your haul and happy mail. The journal is all sorts of goodness and grunge. I’d love for you to make a similar journal. The metal fastener takes me back to the old days in accounting. I used those all the time. Keep on improving. 😊

[@hollypohl9010]

Margreth I’m so glad you are feeling better. I also had some back issues. Nothing as severe as yours but I decided not to bore you - I figured you would get tons of stories and advice. And I didn’t want to ad to that. Your doctor is on top of it and a smart woman. As they say, “Follow the Doctor’s Orders!” Take care of yourself and go slow and steady.

[@michelles9117]

A beautiful hand made journal. I will have to investigate the 'mica'. It's great that you have a definitive answer to your health problem. TFS❤

[@sheilaironside8099]

So glad you have your diagnosis. You can get to healing! Great haul and happy mail! What an amazing journal, just so cool. Your hubby sounds like a gem! So glad to see you again! Looking forward to the next one whenever your ready. Thank you!💖❤🥰

[@kathyude9457]

I just love vintage and antique things. You have some really fun stuff there!

[@kathyude9457]

That journal is amazing with all of the goodies!

[@Sundies_Art]

Thank you so much for sharing the beautiful gift from Barbra, what a special friend she is. I am so happy that you have found out what is going on with your back, I absolutely understand the pain and I "feel" for you honestly. Good advice from your doctor, listening to your body is the best because everyone is different. Bless you and please don't worry if you are unable to film or craft, we will continue to support you no matter what. Love and hugs from Seattle WA USA.

[@margieboxx7295]

I just fell in love with your friend Barbara, watching her videos on her sample book, gorg gorgeous ❤

[@kamalani808]

Welcome back, Margreth! May your health continue to improve! Your fans missed you! ❤❤❤❤

[@preciousmemoryboxesjunkjou3642]

Your haul/happy mail so much fun! Praying for your recovery.

[@melodyturchik162]

So many beautiful things I love it all. I can't wait to see what you do with it all.

[@jmh1943]

OhMyGoodness.. your happymail is AMAZING! 🤍

[@lisagreenough4385]

I can just HEAR the joy in your voice when you were looking at the journal from Barbara. So cute and so nice to hear since you e not been feeling well. Very cool journal!

[@nsteph]

That journal is so creative. It was a very nice gift

[@lynnrex9996]

What a fun haul for you! I just love hearing you so happy! I'm glad you finally know what's going on! ❤ hugs to you!

[@loribaca9065]

I'm so happy to see you back at your craft table. Please don't over do and make your recovery longer.

[@roseapple8786]

Miss Margreth, such lovely treasures and fantastic happy mail. I am so happy that it isn't something major. Just listen to your doctor and do what they say. Happy that my prayers have reached you and you sound so much better. Thank you for sharing and God Bless you and your family. 🥰💖💖💖💖💖👍👍👍👍👍(🌹🐞🦂🌵)

[@KrisFlint]

It must be a relief to have a diagnosis, look after yourself and take things easy, I agree trust yourself and your body, sometimes a little fear makes you slow down so you can heal. All the best for your recovery, so glad you are on the mend. Loved your video. Take care lovely.

[@judyscholfield820]

How I resonate with the advice, “listen to your body!” In March 2024, I had open heart surgery and the recovery has been painful and slow. I am not giving advice, only encouragement that your body will teach you what you can manage-I hear it already in your changes for a standup desk and moving around more. And thank God for husbands who care so well! I continue to pray for you my other Dutch friend. My Dutch friend is my Bible Recap Buddy! I love you both. ❤ From Canada.

[@lorlor2831]

I so happy to see you and your lovely treasure ❤

[@nancyfoley8198]

Margreth, so great to see and hear you so happy!! ... "a journal-ful of yummies helps the medicine go down in the most delightful way"!!

[@patricialaine319]

I'm so glad you finally found what was causing your pain! Very frustrating for you, but, at least now you know, and can adapt your lifestyle to minimise any further discomfort. Good to hear too that the pain is more manageable now. It's onward and upward from here I say!! ❤🙂

[@JillWilliams-w8i]

So good to have you back and sounding happy! Don't push yourself, you will get better in time. Yes File February sounds good. Take care

[@ambercross6887]

So glad to see a new video from you and to hear about how you are doing. Just make sure and don't over do it cause you are feeling better, just give yourself the time you need to truly heal. Back pain is very painful and can limit a lot of day to day life! It's great that you are so positive about everything that is going on! You are in my prayers for a speedy recovery!❤

[@margaretfisher3722]

love that junk journal from Bybar

[@novallasuter5265]

Lovely girl, I can hear in your voice that you are feeling better. Thanks to God. Love to you, sweets.

[@lindablackmore5882]

In case I’m the first, the photo mounts are to make slides. That’s what transparencies are. You added your own. Love you and prayers for healing.

[@franziskawollke6528]

dear Margreth...how nice to hear from you...I didn't understand everything in detail...but that's not so important... The main thing is that you are feeling a little better and are taking better care of yourself. I continue to hope that you get well and keep my fingers crossed that everything goes well. ❤❤❤ Franziska

[@kristenmesker8476]

Beautiful journal! File folder February, yes!

[@Tracey_triesjournaling]

FILE FOLDER FEBRUARY yes!! I have a file folder that will be a challenge for you! 🥰🥰👍

[@LovesJESUS]

I have a desk that I can stand and craft. I always stand to craft because it is more comfortable for me. I have a chair that is counter height so I could sit and craft but I never use it. When I worked my company ordered me a desk that raised and lowered because of my back. It worked wonderfully for me. Hope you enjoy your new desk and good luck.

[@NcSlocum]

❤Hello, Ms Margreth. So good to hear your happy voice. I'm so thankful you know the issue of your back. Prayers for you💛🙏. I ❤ the idea of File Folder February. Sound super fun. Take care of yourself and im anxiously awaiting for more videos. I❤ them. Bless you and your family❤

[@greeneyedldy50]

Hello miss margreth ❤ happy Sunday god bless you and your family I have a cup of tea with honey I woke up this morning with sore throat I don't ever get sick me or my daughter this crazy weather

[@margieboxx7295]

[@laurahousemanjohnson7100]

I’m relieved your medical problems finally have an answer! Now just patience for healing to take place and I know that will be the hard part!!! ❤

[@blackcoffeeandwildflowers]

Glad you are doing what is right for you, your back and your body. LOVE the journal from Barbara 🤩 She is an amazing creator. And you got so many great goodies. That roll of old wrapping paper is just awesome. It’s good to hear your optimism - it is another way that you inspire! Hugs 🤗❤️

[@marlenekoudys4602]

So happy for you that you are doing better. What a lovely friend you have to give you such a beautiful happy mail 😊

[@WayneJordan71]

Glad to hear you are getting better and that it wasn't something even worse, not that pain is that great to deal with, I've experienced back pain before (arthritis related), and it is hard to deal with. But always good hear your sense of humor. Take your time in getting better and do videos as you can when you feel good enough!

[@JannyHaak]

That journal ... WOW! 😍😍😍 Great treasures for sure! Good to hear you are slowly but surely getting better! I agree with the doctor not to listen to anybody's advice on the matter 👌 Just give yourself grace and be patient, I'm sure you will find your own way through this. 🍀❤

[@Veronim78]

Gorgeous treasures and fantastic Happy Mail. I love that last waterfall journal. It’s very interesting and so much explore. Absolutely stunning. I love everything. I am so happy to hear the excitement in your voice looking at your treasures and Happy Mail. That means you are starting to feel better. Listening to you made me smile. Please , still take it easy. Rest, rest. Continue prayers for healing. 🙏🙏

[@FullMoonLoonDesigns]

Such a lovely haul and I’m so glad you have a diagnosis and are adapting to what you need to do to keep crafting. I have an adjustable sit/stand desk for my home office and love it. Don’t overdo it dear! 💗

[@kiminalaska9363]

I haven’t gotten your Winter Botanical kit yet but I did use your Denim and Lace kit for the basis of a baby album. I used some denim from a pair of my husbands retired jeans to cover the spine because I was unhappy with it. Take care of yourself and let your husband know that we all appreciate everything he does for you

[@janetbowen7237]

Glad you found out what was wrong. You do sound better and to hear you laugh was great. Take care of yourself.

[@debbie1016]

It was so nice hearing your voice and seeing your new treasures. Follow what your body is telling you. When you are feeling better, I will still be around, as I am sure your other subs will, too. Hope you feel better rally soon. ❤

[@eloisenunez8512]

Margreth, I’m looking forward to your creative videos. Take good care of yourself & hope everyday is a good day. On not so good days……try hot chocolate with a slice of good bread & jam. Lots of love to you!! 😊💕🩷

[@sandypeppers6861]

No advice or stories from me- just wishes for a speedy recovery and continued wellness! Love your treasures!

[@JanSims-p9x]

So good to have you back!!! So sorry you're having such a difficult time. I admire your enthusiasm and cheerful outlook. Take care. Look forward to seeing you when you're able to put out a video. :)

[@rn4neo]

So happy to see you sharing your goodies. I hope you will continue to heal and get stronger.

[@caketheyarn]

Hello Margreth, At least now you have answers, the doctor is right, listen to your body. 🙏 That is an amazing happy mail (journal), you have a wonderful friend, and I enjoyed your video, take care. Blessings 💜

[@lindacurl6337]

At least you have a diagnosis now. It’s so hard to wait for one & found a good dr. Continued prayers for you! Great haul & you have great friends ! Yes File folder February! ❤

[@shirleysawatzky6046]

The scripture cards is something I used to get in Sunday school. They were German and postage stamp size. Loved seeing them. Thanks for sharing

[@robinsutton4952]

I would have loved those cards. I did get miniature sized bibles with the first books of the New Testament. My mother once caught me ripping the maps and timelines from my bible. All with good intentions, probably the beginning of my collage journey.

[@octavya30]

Yay! You got wonderful treasures there. And I’m glad to hear they confirmed your back problem. Your doc gave great advice. I had my surgery in May of 2023 and I’m still afraid that I might do something and be in horrible pain again. The fear lessens by day but I totally get what you mean. Sending good vibes your way ❤

[@inspirationscrappy]

Ohhh, so wonderful happy things on your desk....I'm in love with all🥰🫶

[@maryluxa6266]

File folder February would be awesome!

[@laurafesmire309]

Hey margreth. Happy sunday. ❤❤ ❤ happy hear your doing better. Much love to u. ❤❤

[@yelsyels]

Glad to hear you are on the mend! It was a lovely surprise to see your video appear! I have bought your new kit and I am able to open files now! ❤❤❤

[@KimberlyChristy-ql8ww]

So great to hear that you've identified the problem. Now you can address it directly 😉

[@99zanne]

The loose file clips we call Acco clips, and those can be purchased on Amazon or the office supply store. Glad to hear u r some better. TFS!

[@teresao679]

Ohh your physician gave you great advice! I wish my dr had been so wise. Take good care of yourself! Love your videos!

[@martyrichterstinson2547]

Glad you have a diagnosis and some answers. This video is so much fun for an American gal. Love learning about your country and associated counties.

[@peggyfitzmaurice4100]

What a wonderful stash of goodies. I am in for file folder February 👍. Happy to hear your health is going in the right direction.

[@nicolinavincelli9369]

Good day, Margreth, so happy you're feeling better. February file folder month, of course. What a beautiful journal, simply gorgeous. Thank you for sharing, big hugs and kisses to Daisy and Jackson🤗😘🤗😘 The only thing that help me was the Chiropractor and sitting all day is not healthy. I take the dogs for a walk twice a day.

[@kristenmesker8476]

Glad you finally have a diagnosis. Praying for quick healing

[@betsykreutzberg6028]

Mica --- that I know of is found in rocks. It is very cool to split it apart because there are many layers, so you can split and then split again and then again. And some mica is ground up and used in make-up...

[@pkartadikaria]

Praying for your speedy healing ❤ Lovely, lovely treasures. The blue and white fabric is probably celebrating famous people who fought for women's rights. I recognize Raden Ajeng Kartini among them. She was a Javanese aristocrat who became one of the pioneers for women emancipation in Indonesia. We still celebrate 'Kartini Day' every 21 April (her birthday) when people (especially women and girls) wear formal traditional attire in ceremonies held in schools, neighborhoods, government institutions, etc.

[@shellylaw4]

That was good news! And it was wonderful to see you being your chipper self! ❤

[@ABlessedJournal]

6:58 yeeeeeeeeessssssssss❤❤❤❤❤

[@SunnysEyes]

Glad you're feeling better. Happy you're getting a standing desk. Hope it helps.

[@wanderingheart1]

The fabric piece highlights the people who made great strides in gaining women in the United States the right to vote. The 19th amendment to the United States Constitution passed in 1919 giving women the right to vote.

[@wanderingheart1]

Harriet Tubman was also a leader in the ending of slavery in the United States. She is famous for leading groups of slaves from southern states to the northern states along the “Underground Railroad.” After the Civil War she joined the suffragette movement which advocated for women’s right to vote.

[@aidafranquiz3851]

Susan Anthony info “Susan B. Anthony was an American social reformer and women's rights activist who played a pivotal role in the women's suffrage movement. Born into a Quaker family committed to social equality, she collected anti-slavery petitions at the age of 17.”

[@SevenplazaCreative]

🥰🥰🥰

[@donnajordanDJArts]

Thank you very much! What beautiful gifts you have received; I can't wait to see what you make "with" us. I am so glad you are feeling better, and that you feel you finally have an answer. It's definitely important for all of us to pay attention to our body and give it a break before it shouts at us...your doctor sounds very wise. I would love to see more techniques and uses of ribbon and lace on vintage journaling. Maybe you have some easy ideas to share with us?

[@juliebycousucousin1421]

Hello Margreth 😊 i'm positive with you ❤😊 ! Thanks you so much for this video so much treasures. Take care ❤

[@kathyaakananabluebird]

Lovely haul and a beautiful journal from Bybar. :)

[@DevonKaren]

I think the silver clips are animal ear tags, the sort they use to mark calves, lambs etc when they're born, a nasty way of doing it, but I suppose it's better than some!! So glad you've found out finally what is wrong with your back, and that standing table will be a godsend believe me!! Wishes for good recovery, chin up lovey, big hugs Karen xxx

[@wandakuzyk]

Glad you are feeling a bit better. My advice even though your doc said don’t listen to it. I will give it. When she tells you to listen to your body do that. If you do something and it twingles lol yes twingles your back. Stop immediately. Sit for a few min get up walk around. Stand a few min then walk around. Lay for a bit and walk around. If you are filming and need to step away do it. Our bodies are very good at telling us what to do before they start screaming at us to stop. Just listen for the twingles. If you are a good listener your back will heal and it will thank you. Don’t be scared. I know the pain was bad hence the listening to your body. Good luck hun and just remember moderation. You hubby sounds like a doll. Good luck and take it easy. If it takes you a day to film and 2 to edit it’s all good we will keep watching older. You take care and we will see you in the next one. ❤

[@LuciaVandenbergh]

[@suzyallen1726]

Oh man im so excited margreth

[@kimberleymaloy1728]

So glad you at least know what you are dealing with, health wise. I'm so sorry it's not what you were hoping for but I'm continuing to pray for your healing! File folder February sounds great! Personally, being handicapped and having multiple other health issues that keeps me laying down the majority of my time, I would really like the small, quick projects. Thank you for keeping us up to date! I just found Barbara yesterday and didn't know about Instagram yet, so I'll be going there next. TFS 😊

[@riccibeck1010]

So happy to see you back! Love all your treasures!! And the journal you received is Amazing!

[@sonja_ratingen]

File Folder February? Cool idea, so: yes please!

[@annieg5100]

I love that first treasure that is so unique and beautiful. I also love all your other treasures. Please Please do file folder February and please please do mass make March!! I’m so happy you are doing better and feeling better. Something that always helps me when I get anxious or scared, I always say “fear is a liar” if you want to try I highly recommend all I do is repeat that until I feel calmer, if you try this (you don’t have too) but if you do I hope it helps you. This gods bless you sweetheart ❤ Thank you for your videos 😘

[@edrope2011]

Time stamp 35:57 is called Mica. Tracie Fox makes it. It's cool...

[@katherinehazard7580]

Hello! The silver tape that you can emboss is what I duct work tape. I use it to make sure ducts stay connected. It is super sticky!! Yes, mica!!
