I am gathering stuff to get started and already received the beautiful fabrics from quilting4you. Actually I want to honour my own sister, who died several years ago. So now I have to find the courage to build the journal itself.... Dear Barbara, thank you for all the things you do, tell and show us. I guess you are a true blessing for a lot of your followers. ❤

Wow, Barbara, you have definitely made a lot of progress and taken a lot of the anxiety away! We all know that this project is only stressful because it comes with your own high expectations and a timeline. You normally work at your own pace, creating hour by hour based on what inspires you as you go along so, relax, this will come together as you get going with the photos! I think chronological would be a pain causing you more stress, not good, give yourself lots of flexibility and time to respond to each page. It will be treasured!💕🇨🇦

Oh wow!! I feel the pressure with you. These fabrics are so beautiful! I’m glad you got to use so many of them! When I saw your first envelope, I thought, “Oh wow! What a good idea. She can decide how many letters you’d like to put into 4 envelopes. That way you’d have one envelope in each signature.” Nope, 25, TWENTY-FIVE envelopes. It’s going to be such an amazing gift for him. He'll find something new every time he looks at it. It’s beautiful!♥️♥️♥️

I can totally relate to the “aaaggghhh what have I got myself into” feeling that clutches your chest & tummy. Like you I would totally have complicated things by making my own envelopes & adding extra garnishing. Just remember that your project will be what it is meant to be. You know when you try to go in a specific direction & it just doesn’t work that projects do seem to have their own ideas on what they want to be, so just go with it. Your brother will be blown away with all the work you put into it & I’m sure this will become a treasured memory book.

I am always SO inspired by your videos. I have a HUGE bin of scraps of my kids clothes that they wore growing up. Most of the clothes that they outgrew were donated but some "special" pieces that they wore for school pictures, I cut into scraps in hopes of making some type of memory quilt (but I'm not a quilter so I've just been procrastinating). I have equal size bins of some of their school work and school pictures and also didn't know what to do with them. With this project of yours, you have solved my dilemma. My 5 kids range in age from 40 to 27. So I better get on it. I know it's going to be a huge undertaking but now I have a vision and a plan. Thanks to you. Continued blessings. 🙏🙏🙏

Quite refreshing and enjoyable and different from the average videos involving the same old thing: flowers, (usually pink), roses preferably, the same envelope builds and tags, tuck spots, etc. Your style is exquisite and always something new and delightful. Love you. I anxiously look forward to each new video.

Love where you went with this. The envelopes were an awesome idea & worked perfectly with the pages you decorated! Just an idea for future projects with the hinge - only one piece needs to be big enough to glue onto both pieces with an overlap, so you could use a smaller strip of the same fabric, or ribbon or lace to the other side to cover up the back of the fabric.

I'm thinking this is something you've already finished since it's a gift, and you're showing us after the fact so brother will be surprised. It looks beautiful. I keep forgetting about the fabric to attach the signatures. that will be so much better for my books. I do mostly travel and gardening, and nothing folds right in the middle. If you haven't decide yet, I made a scrapbook for my son's going off to college - it was WAY easier to keep everything in groups than chronological. Trips, different holidays, places we visit regularly, each grandparent set got their own layout. Good luck!

This has given me some ideas for my anniversary journal. My husband and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary last year. Our children gave us a "semi" surprise party and we spent the next day doing family pictures professionally! (They had to tell us about it to be sure we weren't traveling but it was in the last few days.) I have a stack about 3 to 4 inches deep of cards I want to bind together. I wish I had saved the envelopes but this has gotten me to thinking of other ways to bind them together and add other pages for the photos. TFS 🤩😍😍❤

It might be cool if you xerox some of the letters onto tissue paper, give it a spray of varnish, and glue it onto the pages. Maybe add envelope tip ins on the side of the page to open and close with more letters inside of the envelopes. That way, you could open the tip-ins to reveal the letter underneath .

Hi Barbara, I love what you are doing with this journal. I found it difficult to put photo’s in a journal. I don’t know why. I made about 20 scrapbook albums in the past years 15 years. I learned in this process to do formal scrapping. Journaling are more informal and I have trouble to scrap photo’s in my journals. In a way I returned to my formal scrapping in the journal. That is why this journal of yours are very important to me. I hope that I can learn from you how to do the informal way of photo scrapping. I think I am not the only one with this problem. I leave for the UK in a week, for a six months holiday. While I am there I want to make a travel journal with photos . Alternatively In will do a album. I have tried previously to combine photo’s in my journal and I am not happy with the results. Please share all your ideas with us, even if you think it’s an boo-boo 😂.
