It's a long one this week! I have put timestamps so you can jump to the parts you want! xx So, this week, realising that I still haven't found my perfect ready-made journal, I decided to jump in and make my own. From choosing collage and scrapbook papers to making my own cover, to sewing in the signatures, and finishing, sealing and decorating the front cover... I am showing you the whole thing, start to finish! It's super easy too so definitely suitable for beginners. And, if you are an expert then please excuse my wobbly and unmeasured approach! I'm slightly messy you see! Also, in this video is a small art journaling supplies unboxing and review as well as me talking through all things art journaling! All my ideas, plans for 2022, tips and techniques and why I actually do it in the first place! I really hope you enjoy it! With Biggest Loves, Wendy. Xxx

*EDIT What is happening? Some of you are saying you can't watch as it says 'unavailable on the device,' and the video won't play. I have checked everything in my power and it all is as it should be. I think it's a KZfaq 'processing' issue... I have messaged them to fix it so fingers crossed all should play perfectly soon!!! Sooo sorry!!! Blurghghgh!!! It is working for me now, but do let me know if you can or can't see... xx So sorry about the weird blurring during the first part! I am trying to fix it but for some reason it's not worked yet... it says it is still processing it but fingers crossed, once it has, the weird blurs will disappear.* *I hope it doesn't distract too much... blurgh to technology sometimes!!! Sorry though! xx*

Another of the other vlogs I watch often is The Cottage Fairy. A few episodes ago, she said, “I tend the star inside my heart to keep it shining beautiful, brilliant, and bright.” I’ve taken that as an affirmation and it’s been so meaningful to me to intentionally work on tending the star inside my heart. I’ve found that as I’ve done so, I’ve felt more compassionate and patient with myself as well as others. Thank you, Wendy, for shining your light so brightly here and sharing it with us. 🌟

I hadn't really thought about this before, but when you said it, I just knew that this s swhy I have never created a vsion board! Because I worried it would be seen by soemone I would rather not have shared it with. I feel happy to creat them in my private art journal. Thank you for this insight!

After many many years of working/laboring with no time for anything else, I’ve found myself on another end of life and with more than I ever expected. Now I’ve more than I need or can use in a life time but trust few to love and respect what it took to get to where I am.

This video was so amazing. I learned so much. Great job Wendy. I never looked at Journaling as being magical and making your dreams come true. My mother just passed away Sunday. The funeral is Dec. 3. This video gave me a chance to escape, even just for a moment. I need to journal. I tried over the years and just get bored with the process. Maybe now I can look at it in a different light. See you in the next video. Trying to keep my head up high and letting my light shine. My Mom died with Alztheimers. Thanks again for the fun light hearted video. ♥️🎨

Having made several journals myself, Wendy’s technique, with its lack of precise measurement and use of a mix of papers makes me both nervous and elated! This is EXACTLY the creative permission I need to give myself to find my way back to the craft. I have retired my career today and am moving soon into a beautiful studio which is bathed in natural light and overlooks a garden. I am so deeply inspired by Wendy right now, I’m feeling a bit weepy. 🥰🌈💕

I'm an art beginner I had a burst of creating for a couple of weeks and now I've stopped. I have really bad anxiety and depression and find doing art so therapeutic. But I'm having problems being motivated to do art right now. Then when you mentioned the 'percolating stage' I thought yeah maybe that's it. I do feel a bit out of ideas so I'm definitely waiting for inspiration to hit. I do find watching others create helpful and calming too.

The video length was perfect! I appreciated your method of putting the book together. I, too, am not a measure-y exact type person. Some of my friends create things that are so perfect. I love them, but it just isn't me. For a person who has NO supplies at all, where would you suggest starting as far as collecting materials?

Wonderful! Start budget to find what you need and spend a bit more on the basics... have a few special things you love and also rummage around the house!!! xxx Enjoy!!

I’ve recently decided to explore book making, so I was thrilled to see this video! Right now I’m focusing on folded mini-books, but I plan to venture out to other types in time. As always, you’re so inspiring! Thank you!❤️

Ohh wow 🥰 I've been recommended your other videos then found this one you are wonderful 🙌🏾. I've got old papers and stuff I can use I just need materials for the cover. Thank you for sharing your talent I'm about to sort the papers for the inside and do this over Christmas. I really enjoyed your video 🙏🏾
