Chrissy your voice is so relaxing. Love this refresher. I enjoy making journals, but I'm always learning new tips and tricks from your channel.

[@ChrissyDesigned]

Aww thank you! 💗

[@caryldeherrera8544]

Ohh… I love all the different types of journals! Thank you 😊

[@ChrissyDesigned]

Thank you 💗 I wish I would’ve kept my very first journal. I think it would be neat to see the very first compared to what I create now. 😊

[@caryldeherrera8544]

I wish I was as talented as you are! I’m blown away by you! Thank you for all you do…😊

[@ChrissyDesigned]

Aww that’s too sweet. 😊 I think everyone is talented! When I first started making journals I had no idea what I was doing. Lol It just takes making them to get the experience & also by creating different things it opens your mind to lots of ideas that you normally wouldn’t have. But I think the best part for me & why I love sharing my ideas is because it’s peaceful & calming to create something. You get to let your imagination flow & then you get the rewarding happy feeling afterwards when you see what you created. 😊 & a bonus is giving a handmade gift to someone that makes them smile. It’s the best! 💗

I wish I had seen this before going out and buying craft paper journals thinking that’s how u start them 😢.. your journals are beautiful

[@ChrissyDesigned]

Thank you💕 You can still alter them & make them beautiful pieces of your own. 😁 I understand why some people want to buy journals either store bought or special handmade ones on Etsy. I have even bought some from my fav KZbin creators just to have a piece of their work, but I do wish I could let everyone know before spending that kind of money or even going broke buying supplies they see others using, just how easy it is to make one yourself & also itll be so much more special to you bc you made it. 😊

Good morning Chrissy, how are you doing? Did you major in art or fashion design? I heard you say on one of your videos that you like the feel of different textures of paper and it made me think that you are a fashion designer or artist. Your journals are pretty 🙂💜

[@ChrissyDesigned]

Good morning ☀️ I’m doing great thank you for asking! I hope you are doing well! 😊 No I did not major in anything, unless mama & wife count. Lol I just have always had a passion for all arts & definitely fashion design. You really pick up on things that others don’t. Lol I bought a sewing machine from my neighbors yard sale when I was about 10yrs old & taught myself how to use it. I started with designing & making dresses for my dolls. By the time I was maybe 14 I was making my own summer dresses. It’s always been more of a passion/hobby. I was actually going to go to college for horticulture & agriculture studies but then got married instead. Lol 😂

@@ChrissyDesigned You have what they call a natural talent which is awesome. I am a wife, mother and grandmother which is my greatest accomplishment ever. You cannot get any better in establishing and maintaining a family and a home✝️🙂💜

Is the journal for you & your husband made from a Jenofeve Designs template?

[@ChrissyDesigned]

Yes it’s part of Jen’s templates. I believe I used wanderlust & lovely layers with that one. 😊

What do you do with junk journals. I guess the purpose confuses me. Do you sell them, keep your own diary or give them away?
