Vintage Lapbooks

[@shannonzielfelder5668]

Eva, I love your story telling, beautiful accent, and the way you laugh at yourself when trying to figure out certain words in English. I cannot imagine how difficult that must be, but you make light of it and we can always understand exactly what you mean. Your laughter and happiness is contagious. Thank you for sharing your talents and stories with us. You are so much fun! 💚

[@BohemianCrafting]

🤗 thank you very much for your beautiful comment Shannon

[@riteasrain]

I'm so glad we got the chance to bring up our kids doing all sorts of fun kid things. The world has changed so much. Imagine how it will be in a hundred years. I am an immigrant too, our family of 8 came from Holland to Australia in the '50s. Not an easy life.

[@1888starz]

Thanks Eva for sharing all your beautiful memories....I loved hearing about your adventures in your homeland and sounds magical. Such happy times I'm sure. Beautiful lapbooks with the green, amazing. You make me laugh & warm my heart. TFS

[@wen_nie]

I’m only 10 minutes in and have laughed more than I’ve laughed all week! What a beautiful gift you give us each day...not only sharing your talents but also yourself. I love your stories! I, too, was a Pippy Longstocking Fan! Haven’t thought of that show in eons! You took me straight back to childhood! So happy I decided to have coffee with you this morning! Much love and blessings to you. ❤️🌹

[@saundradale882]

Eva! You are so inspiring!! Not only with your gorgeous journals but with your stories and advice. Thank you!

[@christinea1234]

You are so right about children of today missing out on what a childhood used to be ... I feel that way myself , my childhood was spent outdoors with the neighborhood lol our imagination our world ... you dont see that much anymore:( very sad !! Love your work !! Your books are absolutely gorgeous takes me right back into a vintage time

[@aprilmilbrandt716]

So nice of you to take the time to share! Love the lap book! Also nice to that you seem back to normal 😜 ...not so sad....it must be difficult to be so far from family... your right Eva life is up and down! Your a beautiful soul!

[@jodiehebb9984]

As you may be able to tell I'm going back and watching older videos. This one is so special and brought back many special memories and connections. The first is that I used to love Avon perfumes and moved onto Cool Waters. It's beautiful. The second is that in 1996 I spent September-Decemeber in the Czech Republic at a training camp in the country outside of Ceske Budejovice. It was amazing and coming from the Southern Hemisphere from a part of New Zealand that doesn't get snow, the forest in winter was such a magical place. I loved it. You've taken me back there. Thank you. As for your Lapbooks, they are stunning! I love the green especially.

[@thejerseylady1]

Love your stories. Your lapbooks are amazing. I remember reading Pippy Longstocking stories. Yes she had those funny braids that turned up. Hugs, Gloria🐂

[@loulittlefield4112]

Again you have outdone your self and I love your stories I have many of the same with my dad ! Yes I agree the English language is tough! Thank you again for such beautiful work

[@annieo9468]

I was so glad to revisit this video....saw it a long while ago. How wonderfully you walked through that flip-through, all the while telling such a wonderful story. I just LOVE this video. Thank-you for sharing such sweet memories. It lets us all know a little bit more of who you are.

[@BohemianCrafting]

Thank you so much! I'm happy to hear you like it.💖

[@tharp2499]

Oh, Eva, such beautiful lapbooks. Your kits are lovely! I am anxious to use them in a journal I'll be making soon for my step-granddaughter. She loves bright colors. And, for me, please don't apologize for talking too much. I absolutely LOOOOVE your stories of your family, growing up in Czechoslovakia & even about your life as a mother & a woman. I always relate to the struggles. You are a such wonderful story teller, very funny & very heartwarming. You are a real, authentic person, and it's appreciated.💖💖💖

[@brandisweets5241]

I love the idea of the challenge. I tend to just craft in my box/style. I need to go outside my box/style! I like the stories as well. Thanks, Angie

[@joellesjournals7832]

Love the lap book and your stories. You are a Pippi - creative, fun and walks her own way. (She is from Sweden though). I remember those winters too. It was so fun for us children. I was out all day playing in the snow.

[@patricia5686]

Love your perfume book and so beautiful how you picked one simple idea for this book. Personally, I love Chanel Coco Mademoiselle and have worn only this perfume for years. My mother wore Arpege and I absolutely love it, too. I am heading to Patreon to see your tutorials!!! Thank you, Eva, you are a spark of light and joy. xx

[@mandyw242]

Miss Eva I do love u, I enjoyed hearing about your childhood, I do agree children aren’t able to have the freedom we had as children, your lap books r stunning tfs, my fav perfume is marc Jacobs daisy love

[@katsierra5702]

I feel like you are a great mom. Listening to you describe how you had to be tough and now it's your time to be soft and enjoy be treated like a lovely woman that you are! You deserve it 🤗love your lap Book! Beautiful as always💕

[@nancyallen6049]

I could listen to you tell stories all day! And these journals are so lovely. Thank you for sharing! And I love the view from your window!!

[@valerieblake4108]

Snakes slither Eva! I think your English is really very good and I adore your creativity. Thank you for sharing. It inspires me. X

[@melodywebster529]

I love your story about being a single mother and having to be tough to get through it. I am also a single mother with an autistic son, so I understand very well. Thank you for sharing and reminding me that I'm not alone 😊.

[@Naria4210]

I just wanted to say I really enjoyed your beautiful projects, you inspire me with new ideas and the laughter in your voice. Thank you for that. So my favorite perfume is Prada the original version, I just love the presence of the scent. its almost like "listen to my thunder and hear me roar". lol... Thank you again for sharing!!!

[@pennymeyer3416]

Let's all go on a forest walk...without meeting the creepy people, though, LOL !!!!! TY for sharing your beautiful art & stories !!

[@kimmyles444]

Beautiful books and the flowers absolutely gorgeous. Nice hearing your childhood experiences. You can say you are young at heart which to mean is fun being that way. Being a single parent one usually has to assume the role of two parents that are in some families. You brought me back to my childhood of tree forts, tree swings and climbing trees. Playing in the woods was the best time of my childhood. Your pictures that you use remind of a time long ago when life was not so complicated. Great job and thanks for sharing.

[@JuliaJohnstonPhotos]

You are so beautiful

[@Witch.Interrupted]

Pippy long stockings was your dolly I love it. It was a book and American film 😁😂 I still remember the song. I love to hear your stories and memories ❤️❤️❤️ love from Ireland , stay safe xxx Sarah

[@scarletmika]

Such beautiful lapbooks! Your green garden is very inspirational and perfume is all about flowers. I love listening to your stories. Yes, English is VERY hard to learn - sometimes it makes no sense! Your childhood sounds amazing and it is very sad how society has changed and it's no longer safe for our kids to roam as we used to. You will always be a fierce Mum, it's how Mums are, no matter how old their kids are. Being a single Mum is the hardest job, but we get through it and our kids are ok. (My kids always wish me happy father's day too, as I was both Mum and Dad to them for so long.) You're such an inspiration and I do so love your art. Hugs from Australia x PS My favourite perfume is Beautiful by Estee Lauder

[@marimarsunday4549]

OMG I remember Pippi Longstocking tv series. It was based on children books by the Swedish author Astrid Lindgren. I loved watching her show! It was one of my favorite! I love your childhood stories. Your Dad was a volunteer Forrest Ranger. That's what they are called in the USA. Your lapbook is gorgeous! Love, love it!!! Tis GOD Bless

[@christieevilbellejohnson9695]

The lap books are stunning, I just Patreon also. I can't handle many perfumes it doesn't go with my body chemistry I wear sandalwood oil , I love sandalwood or some oils with a earthy/ musk scent. I love hearing your stories they are so beautiful, thank you for sharing your life with us. Stay Beautiful, Much love.

[@marilynshavor6496]

Your lapbooks are wonderful. I love all of the pockets,flips,flaps, and hiding places. Do you have a video showing the construction of this book? If not, would you consider making one? THF

[@wildsunne5673]

So this happened to you too?!? Choosing to become a different sort of person (strong, brave, authoritative, fierce even) so that your lovely children will get what they need. Yes, Yes, Yes! And then they grow up and there are a new set of choices to make (softness, less - um - daily fierce). THANK YOU for sharing your story. Sometimes I think I went crazy. And I looove your beautiful books with all of that audacious color!

[@lovewisdomgrace]

I loved Pippi Longstocking as a child, too. I read all of the books about her. Love your stories. Sweet memories! Your lapbooks are beautiful.

[@laurasitlington1414]

I love the use of snaps in place of brads. I’ ll have to try that. I understand how you have to be tough for your kids when you’re a single mom.

[@Night-OWLZ]

These are just wonderful!! Love all the tuck spots and secret little places. Thanks for sharing. Loved Pippi Longstocking - had several books. I wanted to be her LOL!!

[@glendaanderson5639]

OMG I love your book it just keeps going..... So many pockets and hiding spots! Love it! Love your story's the old times sounds like you have great memories.❤️❤️❤️

[@lakenreich]

Love both-especially the pink!! Thanks for sharing!

[@HeartCreations101]

I especially love the Vintage Green Lapbook. The paper is one of the most beautiful papers I've ever seen. I was so sad today to find it is no longer available on Etsy. 😢 ... I do so much love your videos and your teaching is so good. You are, by far, my favorite to learn from. ❤

[@tracyneufeld7985]

I absolutely love your channel, you are a fabulous lady and so very talented and creative! I just recently started to create journals, and you are so inspiring to me! I love your creations, your stories, your joy and laughter. Thanks for sharing with us and blessings to you from Canada. 😁❤️🌹❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@rebeccaslocum9721]

P.S.: Eva talks, snakes slither, kids plan hijinks (mission). You do great with English. Luv it all. Thanks for all you do and share.

[@marietalamers3039]

They are beautiful! The paper is lovely! I just love all the tucks, flips I and pages. It’s like a puzzle!

[@cheminsacreducoeur]

Your lapbook is so fantastic, is unique!

[@melindagoodermote4305]

Snakes slither across the ground...love your story...Hugs from Arizona...;)

[@DarlaW]

[@janicefreeman8353]

Once again, inspiration at its best! I always find something from your journals to incorporate into my mini albums so thank you for that! And I love listening to you talking about your life experiences, 🤗🤗🤗! Makes me happy

[@gbear768]

Really enjoyed your stories and your journals are incredible!!

[@09Klatu]

I love your stories. Makes me think of my own, not thought of for very many years.

[@tuthillg]

Gorgeous lapbooks and digi kits! Love them! TFS the inspiration and creativity!

[@elizabethsegaert6085]

Love the lap book, and love your story,

[@penelopemarshall6320]

Beautiful lap books Eva! I have also been a fan of cool water fragrance for a very long time but my other favourite is L'eau D'issey from Issey Miyake! Light and breezy! Love your stories. 😊

[@brandyaspinall9822]

I loved the storytelling and the beautiful book. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@DewdropGablesCa]

It sounds like you had an amazing childhood, Eve! I agree with you, the kids today are missing out on so much because of the way the world has changed. So sad. I love your lapbooks, they are so beautiful! Debbie :)

[@loulittlefield4112]

I enjoyed your sharing I bought two go your downloads!!!!! Thank you they are so beautiful can't wait to use them

[@carolynshanks2612]

The word is slither for the snake movement! You are so much fun to listen to, I love your stories!

[@torageirs6473]

Your books are amazing but your papers and colours are fantastic. Thanks for sharing I love to listen to you talking and I can tell you that I do talk to you back hahahaha Perfume............... I kind of like a little spicy smell but not to heavy. Love your mom idea on using a "happy" perfume never thought of that. I am going to look again at your "patreon" and one day I will sign up - that is when I have some money to do that. I love all your work.

[@purplepixie274]

Eva your lapbooks are beautiful. Thank you for sharing your stories! Hearing about your childhood was fun. Your English is great, and it's not logical, it's hard to learn. I think you are a great mum and woman, your soul shines through. My favourite light perfumes are Dune, Rhianna (black one) and when I was a teenager I wore Exclamation- the bottle is black and white like an exclamation mark. Try body shop perfumes, they are not too heavy- smoky rose is nice xxx

[@MariaPNW]

I love your lapbooks, especially the green one! I lived Pippi Longstocking, too!! My childhood nickname was Pippa! 🥰🤭😄

[@lisamarieva3514]

I was once chased by a domesticated lady pig who was protecting her piglets. I was just a kid and wanted to see the babies. I got away but I learned to be careful even around domesticated animals. Pigs can be quite scary! I can only imagine how scary a wild pig can be! Your stories of your childhood are very entertaining, I love to listen as you show your lovely creations. I can relate to much of what you say. There are many red heads in my family, my oldest son has bright red hair and crystal blue eyes. He hates it because everyone calls him Ginger.

[@The-Full-Lushness-Of-My-Heart]

My Dad used to call me the Ice Queen!! We are hard and tough, to protect Ourselves AND our Kids! Love You, Eva! 💖💕

[@annaolivanilsen8454]

Happy new year. I love your lapbooks and i will make one for my self. Love from norway.

[@34purplepower]

[@ellenschwarz4945]

Boh Eva this is realy cool 😍 beautyful 😍 amazing 😍 ❤ ❤ ❤ your work is so so great 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 💚💖💙

[@pippipants]

I always want to make books after I see your work! Loving how you challenge yourself. Thank you for sharing :)

[@julieparker1114]

Hello Eva. This is beautiful! I love all the pockets and ephemera you do, the more the better. Also I love vintage, and shabby chic. Combining vintage and shabby chic is even better. Here in Australia we have a shop called The Body Shop. They sell all things moisturizers, body scrubs, body wash, make up, perfume. One perfume fragrance they have is vanilla perfume. That is my favourite.

[@carbootcrafter8054]

Gorgeous books such great quotes and embellishments love the images 💚 Thanks for sharing 💚💙💖

[@meunierchristiane6382]

Beautiful lapbooks. I love your memories when you were young. I am french and my favorite perfume is "Boucheron" by Boucheron the original one, but it is harder to find. Very often I like Guerlain's perfumes. Kisses from France.

[@karenkummer2354]

Beautiful work Eva xx

[@margodarretta8981]

So beautiful!! And I loved listening to your stories! Thank you!

[@dianecallahan-caro9810]

Such detailed and stunning books. I have. been using Cool Water perfume for 40 years. And the character you named your doll after is Pippi Longstockings. xxxx

[@alishabland1740]

Gorgeous lap books!! Love them.... I have bad migraines so I can't handle many perfumes. I love the perfume called Angel. It's my favorite. I also like DKNY green apple.

[@hawkeyestitcher7913]

Love these!!! You are so creative. Thank you for sharing.

[@jenniferrichards-craftings9341]

[@rickiquilt]

Love ur nails....I love everything you create....

[@linmims3049]

Firstly, these are absolutely beautiful lapbooks! Your creative talent is amazing!! Now, are you talking about, Pippi Longstockings?? TV series? My daughter loves Pippi too. It was somewhat popular during the early 80s here in USA. Unfortunately I cannot wear perfumes, I get severe headaches from them. I've always loved them but cannot tolerate them. I sometimes wear lightly scented body spray but even with those some will give me headache as well. Love your chatty videos. Enjoyed this video. Be blessed! xx

[@WhiteRavenBookRook]

Lol.. fuzzy pigs.. i think you mean in English word..boar. Great stuff.. love it all

[@caronwood1316]

This is beautiful and so are you. I like Eau d’Issay these days.

[@MimisCraftyShoppe]

Love these journals and ur digitals💙💗, and ur beautiful spirit and laughter 🥰 great stories...

[@urbanchili]

Me too, I also turn into a "fluffy wild pig" to protect my baby 😂 Really love those books. My favorit perfume is Chanel Chance eau fraiche and Burberry Sport Woman. I also do not like heavy perfumes

[@janetnieves5056]

So gorgeous,love the photos,tfs

[@iamwhatiam4075]

These are gorgeous! I love the green one! So pretty!

[@kraftyiam]

Wonderful work ... my fav perfume is Tresor by Lancome

[@blessthisemptynest]

The snakes ‘slither’ through the grass. I think the wild pig is a ‘boar’ 🐗 My favourite perfumes is J. Lo glow and cool water by davidoff. I like a light perfume and I don’t like musk. I love your lapbook they are so pretty. Like the lady who designed them.

[@1orielle2]

I love it when you share stories while showing journals! I think the wild pig name you are looking for is javelina?

[@nancyorourke7679]

Gorgeous!! Just..gorgeous!! Thank you for sharing!! =^.^=And adore the stories!! Again, thank you for sharing!

[@danacolosimo5874]

Hey Eva loved you story and absolutely loved you lap books ❤️❤️❤️😘😘

[@jenniferwatson7118]

Wow - gorgeous and intricate lapbooks! LOVE your stories - fascinating! And yes, the English language is weird!

[@annettedepete4314]

Absolutely fabulous! Thanks for sharing 😍🌴

[@LILRHONDALEE]

Hi sis! I enjoyed listening to your stories, while you flipped thru your books, while I was making a book too! I have a suggestion for a nice perfume that you may like...it is called Paloma Picasso, and it has a sweet floral scent, not over powering but light and airy. I luv it. Let me know if you try it! TFS xo

[@ylezAma-artes1919]

Your work is always so beautiful.

[@dianabarth3834]

I love you creations. Great lapbooks. Thank you for sharing this... I love ´Light Blue´ by Dolce & Gabbana.

[@connielynnekozlowski3704]

Always a pleasure! Thanks xoxo

[@tinaart64]

Hi from Sweden the land there Pippi comes from. Love your lap books

[@pippipants]

A comment about English vowels!! A,E,I,O,U have 2 sounds; short and long. For example, apple (short a) and lay (long a). Looking at the consonants (non-vowels) that come after a vowel can suggest if it's long or short. For example, apple (short a is followed by 2+ consonants ppl) and lay (long a followed by 1 consonant y ). I hope this helps :) I used to teach English and I love trying to explain all the curiosities of our language. It is exciting seeing someone who is so keen to learn :)

[@karenlouisemunro]

snakes slither you make me laugh out loud this is gorgeous x

[@lorreemyres4126]

Oh, Miss Eva, so beautiful! I love your lap books the best. Your nails are gorgeous. As always fascinated with your stories. P.S. you never talk to much. I like a soft musk...or honeysuckle.

[@lisebedard7247]

Love your lap books.....are they for sale.

[@ritapirkey9840]

The snake slithers?! Haha I just love your stories 😍.

[@maryjager1757]
