Thank you Barbara I ALWAYS learn something new from you. You’re an excellent teacher. 💕👍👩‍🎨

I love that you share how you alter things you are not loving. It’s so easy to get stuck on the things we are unhappy about, so seeing you do something about it is so inspiring! 😘

Things like this always happen to me. I don’t realize something is a problem until I’ve used it for a while. I love your fix. And adding something so simple like the rounded corners just really made it look so polished. Love this.

Good idea 👍 A great place to keep leftover papers / fabrics from making the journal that can be used throughout the journal for cohesion.

What a great, seamless, "renovation" Barbara. It’s so in keeping with the original design, it looks like it has always been there. I love how you go back through your journals and improve and update them. That dessert sounds so delicious. I was salivating too. Great repurposing of the packaging 👍 Have a beautiful day, Barbara 🇦🇺

My plan is to go thru your videos and make a list of all the things you could add to a junk journal. tags, belly bands, pockets etc. I feel like if I had a list that would help when making a journal. Love your style!

Barbara,great idea! Thanks for telling us about the delicious looking dessert! Yum! TFS! ❤

That turned out fantastic! I wasn’t quite sure what you were going for but I love it! Now that it’s done, looks like it was there the whole time! Perfect!

Loved the flap to close up the pocket. Creativity... isn't it amazing 😍.

Your snack videos are always my favorites! Thank you so much ❤

That desert sounds wonderful! This new flap is adorable.

I need those desserts - both the ice cream and the original versions! Great alterations!

I love the sound of paper bag journal wrapped in fabric…. So crinkly yummy. The pocket was such an great idea!

You are so creative and clever! This flap is just beautiful and perfect, such a great idea and, a problem solved. Thank you ❤🏆💐

Barbara - your problem solving skills and creative solutions are - awesome!! 🧡💚🤎

This is such a great idea. I think I will also use it when I'm gluing two pages together to make a large pocket in the middle of my journal somewhere. This flap would work to keep things in and it's so attractive. Love this idea. You are sounding so much happier now and I hope all is well with you. Hugs and blessings

Great "save" Looks great with that pocket flap

Love this idea Barbara! Thank you for sharing with us!

Dear Barbara, this snack was delicious! 😉😋😍

Just love what you do and how you explain things so clearly! I believe that punch from FISKARS is called an eyelet setter.

That's a fantastic idea, so clever Barbara

Barbara: great redo job. Yes,- it’s a better idea, and looks good. Carol from California

So adorable

OHHHH GIRLLLL;;;;;;AMAZING..... THANK YOU.

Very clever idea. Thank you for sharing, hugs from down under.

Thanks for sharing your creative improvement ideas ............😻

Oh Mann Barbara - jetzt hab ich total Lust auf Marillenknödel 😃😃toll wie du deine Tasche "gerettet" hast

i love what you did Barbara - thank you xx

Marvellous idea. Thanx for sharing. I always find your videos fascinating.

I didn't get to finish watching the video yesterday but just finished it and what a great idea to fix this!! Your a visionary!! You sure did give it your Awwl! :) tehehe your so cute❤

Great idea to solve the problem! Could also use Heat n Bond. I’m salivating along with you on that yummy dessert! 💕

❤❤❤. Thank you for this. Blessings lovely from Colleen

What a great idea.. and so handy too... Cheers for sharing...

Great idea. Nice way to redeem the pocket too.

Oooh...You made MY mouth water with your description of that desert, that I can't understand the name of...nor pronounce.😂 I think maybe they use cookie or graham cracker type of crumbs for the ice cream version. Even if I can't pronounce or spell the name, I am gonna try to find a recipe for both types. Sounds absolutely delicious!!💖 I just adore you. I love watching you create. I am always inspired and your personality is so gentle and sweet, It's such a joy.💗

Love the pocketxxx🥰🥰🥰

Great idea! Thanks for sharing! ❤

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing your ideas. 💖✨

Great idea and it does look very cute.

I love it sweetie, simple and gorgeous ❤

Ooh, you're making me hungry!!

That was fun, great job!!!!!

Love this idea!

Great idea. Thank You!

Super cute!! 🤗❤️❤️

Great solution. I would put inside the pocket some tape or fabric on the "arms or legs" of the brad in order that the ephemera don't get stuck when getting them out. Merci.

Very pretty ❤

Love this!

Beautiful!

Great solution! And oh my, those desserts sound so yummy, especially the hot version. Tried to think of a yummy traditionally Aussie dessert to share with you. There is of course the ever famous Pavlova, a crunchy meringue shell filled with a soft marshmallow inside, topped with cream & fresh fruit. Or for lovers of creamy desserts, there’s the vanilla slice that traditionally has 2 layers of puff pastry sandwiching a thick vanilla custard (or vanilla crème custard), then topped with a passion fruit icing - served cold. Or the Lamington Sponge cake - layers of light vanilla sponge cake are coated in a chocolate glaze that soaks in a bit, then they’re covered with shredded coconut flakes. Then it’s filled with fresh whipped cream & strawberry jam (or jelly for our American friends). Our iconic desserts tend to be cold due to our frequently hot weather, although it’s ridiculously chilly here in the tropics despite it not even being winter yet. Down to 6 deg C or lower in the normally very hot Queensland. But of course my dog just insisted on me getting up to make him breakfast at 4.30am 🐶 Brrrrr ⛄️

Very nice! Love the idea!😘

I'm working on a project and was trying to solve a problem. This will work wonderfully! Thank you!

Great idea!

That is a great fix for that problem. I have that issue as well on one of my journals so now I can remedy it! Thank you for this tip.

Awesome as always!!! ❤

Sounds delicious!

Yes that gap would bother me too. 😋😋😋 that looks and sounds super yummy. That's my favourite brown paper! I can't manage to spray the glue evenly, it just splats 😄 it's good for adding mica on top though to make a sort of marble effect. 🙊 give it your awl 🙊. Looks great! I'll definitely remember to do the flap next time. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖

Fantastic idea💕

Dear Barbara, How Cleaver is this idea !👏👏 I'm expecting your new journal will have this pocket flap 😊😅

That is too cute✌🏻

That was great!!!!

Ich finde die große Tasche jetzt mit dem Verschluss auch viel schöner. 😊 Man sollte generell einfach etwas ändern, wenn einen etwas nach der Fertigstellung stört, finde ich. Meistens dauert es ja nicht lang und sonst nervt sowas auch ganz besonders 😂… Wieder einmal ein wundervoller Junk Journal Snack 👍. Liebe Grüße Nicole

I love this!😊

I love that! TFS! ❤

Great job!!!❤❤😊

Can you send me one of those cream things? My mouth was watering. Lol. What a great idea for closing up the pocket. I love it.

Good lawt woman!! You're killing me with all that yumminess! Can I get the recipe since you sat here and tortured us with all that goodness?? 😂❤❤

Fun and inspiring 😍🙌🌺🏵🌼🌻

Hi Barbara. I had one of those whole making thingys ... they are super duper loud and you have to do that motion several times to get a hole even with paper. It's not hand/finger friendly especially if you need a few holes. Mine also didn't last.

You really like that dessert and ice cream, don't you? :D Great idea with the back pocket flap! I might do this on the Dephemerember journal. :)

That was a great solution! I would have gone the easy route by just sewing it up or put a zipper in (not that zippers are easy to add...LOL).

Dear Barbara hi! I love love your "renovation" of your junk journal cover! You made this so "clean" and beautiful that it looks as if it was there from the very beginning! I also loved the dumpling and the ice cream version of it! Slourp! 😋 ❤❤❤❤ I also have a proposal for you: could you consider of making a series of videos with a 10-12 minutes max procedure where we could gather specific materials (generics of course) and follow exactly your steps, to make something beautiful and jj related each time? It doesn't always need for a thing to be completed in just one video, it could sometimes take two or three videos to be completed. And maybe at the end of this series we could combine all these things to make something bigger like a whole jj. I know that your snacks videos somehow relate to this proposal, maybe these could be "child" of snacks for jj newbies or for people like me that cannot make time for organizing and making something that needs more time. Of course you could also ask if there is interest from your subscribers for that. I would love to hear from you! Sweet greetings from Athens, Elena ❤❤❤❤

❤❤

As always, a yummy episode. How come you didn't put tape or fabric inside the pocket under the inner brad so that the papers won't get stuck? You always do that. Wait. I know. You were thinking of that delicious German snack, weren't you? 😂🥰

❤

That’s being a problem solver!!

❤️🤗🥰😍😘🤩

✊✊✊✊ eh , new vídeo ❤❤❤

Hello j’adore votre journal . Ou achetez vous vos tissus ils sont tellement beau 🤩

Does that loud springy thingy have a push button on the end of it? Could you put it in place and then push down on the top of it ? Seems as if you could exert more pressure on it this way. Anyway, you solved it and the flap is perfect. I love watching you as you work--I get many ideas from you. Thank you!

❤❤❤👍🇺🇸

I’ve sent u a link to Eva’s version of the flop journal she called it acordian journal x

Barbara personal question, is your wedding band on your right hand? I knew in Spain they wear on right hand. Loved your fix with planner. They came out flawless!!!💜💜💜

❤🇨🇦

Is the white glue (you brushed on the paper) watered down?

Do you sell any of your journals you make? If so where? I would love to own one

📖👌🤎🦊🦊🤎

Love this!
