Morning Barbara, love the journal, the colour of the cover is super. Love the greeny-bluey sea colour. Love the signitures especially the envelope with the bird and the flowers, so very pretty. Actually, I love the whole thing, you may post it off to me IMMEIDIATLEY, if not sooner. i wish I could, but with our Postal Service and also exchange rate being the way it is at the moment, it is not possible, but HOPEFULLY in the future I will be the proud owner of one of your journals. I love your creativity, humour and your way of explaining, so clearly and precise. ANYHOOOOOO, I hope you have a wonderful creative weekend, see you Sunday for our snack together. Blessings and hugs as always, Diana

I’m in the USA and it’s October 7, 2023. Thank you for all the great content on your channel. I’ve really enjoyed this one especially. I’m commenting now because I wanted to say that several years ago my grandson (about age 5 at the time) gave me a dragonfly pendant just like the one in your video except it is silver tone instead of gold. I love that piece, it’s very special to me. Mine is not only decorative, but it is also functional as a magnifying glass. The back and front pieces slide apart. I don’t wear it often because it is also heavy. I think I may follow your example and have it dangle as you did on my next journal.❤
