Ok, I have been following you for a while, and I LIKE your teaching style. If someone doesn't like how much you talk, it's your channel and they can go find another! I appreciate your efforts to convey the info you do and I can see how hard you work on your English. I could NOT learn German or express myself as well as you do and I am always impressed by how well you speak in English. Thanks for sharing your art and taking the time to learn a different language! You could certainly tell us a German word for each video of an art supply you are using if you wanted one more thing to do!

I love when you say, “In my eyes…” I think that is a wonderful way to share what you think! I hope you do not feel you have to change the way you express yourself. You are adorable just the way you are!! I always knew exactly what you meant!!

Getting to see your mistakes and correcting what you didn't like is great. Now I know my mistakes or changes are normal. Lol. Luv ya Luise.

Hi Luise, I love how you show us your oops and then how you fix it. It helpsus to problem solve when we are not happy with a particular layout. TFS 😊

I liked this project almost as much as the one with the washing machine… ♥♥♥

This is simply a fantastic journal and journey!! Tfs it with all of us! ❤

happy Luise, the journal is coming along nicely, loe the black and white photos and all the humor. I understand you completely, never apoligize, your doing great.

Always good to see you come up with ways to fix things that you don’t like in your journal. Still enjoying this series.

Hi Luise, The photo strip, is fun! Love all the photos...it is helpful to see how you correct things too. Always admire your talent and your beautiful heart. Xo, Julie🐚🪸🐠🦩☀️🐳🐙🐟

I totally understood what you meant when you said "in my eyes." It was such a cute expression! And "what about this" and "how about this" both work! Your english is just fine! These pages came together so beautifully! Love that photo strip!!

I love how you say “ in my eyes”… for to your artists vision. It is a unique saying that is Luise❤

I’m happy to hear you say that you are proud of your work! You should be proud!

Great pictures and pages!! So happy for you! 🎉❤

Luise, you are amazing! Your English is fantastic and anyone that corrects you or attempts to tell you that your wording is incorrect, without your request first, can go right ahead and try speaking another language that is not their native tongue…. Let’s see how well they express themselves. I too am bilingual, I speak Greek also, but my native language is English so my Greek expressions are not always on point… Oh well… 🤷🏼‍♀️ Also… I love your banter, I love that you include us in so much of your life … you rock! ❤

I like the idea of black and white photos with colorful backgrounds! I have a tiny photo printer that i use for photos but it is color do i'm going to try to incorporate neutral pages in my journals so my photos will stand out better. Really like yhe multiple similiar photos made into the pocket. Another great idea! Your creativity is awesome and i'm really enjoying this series. Good luck in getting officially moved and your craft room done and established! I grew up in a house that was never totally finished. And now i'm growing old in a duplex that is not totally finished. Life is an adventure! Enjoy.❤❤❤

I love the frames! They are so amazing 🎉!! I’m using them in my scrapbook!

I love the end result! Totally fabulous!… and your process made complete sense. If I had something glued down I would have ‘freaked my freak!’ 😂😂😂 By the way, your English is perfect, and I understand you easily. I love the little special way you say things, it’s so cute!

Hi lovely. I love your photo additions in your journal. The part where you in the photo peeped over the perfume card made me laugh because you looked very mischievous for a moment. This matter of you saying "in my eyes" while it isn't perfect it is almost correct. You could say, "to my eyes", " in my view," and "in my point of view." You are beautiful in my eyes! This is correct and also true. You are certainly a genius. I wondered how you could make this journal work and you have. Lots of love from me in Aotearoa. Xx❤

You are so inspiring! I know that the moving madness poses a challenge but you are a problem solver 💪🏾 Your creativity knows no bounds! I’m thinking about setting up my own version of a collage fodder buffet after watching your previous video bc of the ease of journaling with so many ready to use items handy 😊❤

I like the way your multiple photo were made into a pocket.

In English we have a similar saying "Friends are the Family you choose"

I sure wish I lived where you do I think we would be great friends Luise You are so fun and I just love listening to you Thank you for being on UTube and keeping me company I am alone since my hubby passed and you are really good company for me Thanks again Sheri

💜💜💜

❤❤❤

Yay I'm in good company! I started watching this video after deciding that I needed to change a major design flaw in my current journal. You have given me the reassurance that i made the right choice to reprint a bunch of pages and make the changes. Thank you for showing your challenges. Meg

You had me laughing out loud. I have tripped and 1:05:58 fallen so many times by paper that fell on the floor. I really enjoy watching and listening to you create. I especially like how you problem solve. Hi to Sascha. Hope to join you tomorrow. TFS and inspiring ❤Nebraska

Woohoo I was so happy to see this pop up. I’m excited to see your progress in such a personal and important journal. Mine are the same as I make them for myself and use photos and ephemera from my daily life. Great video series as always 🎉🎉

Thank you thank you lady! I glued a frame down REALLY well with the photo upside down! Thank you for giving me courage! I started to peel the frame up and was making a hole in my paper. I finally stacked another frame on top-added dimension and a grungy side look❤️

I enjoy hearing you speak in German.

love what you have done dear 💖 you all moved in to your new apartment now or allmost ?

I had this corky idea when you said, near the end of this video, that you wanted to draw the eye away from the obvious rectangle. I have a bad habit of putting one something shocking, unusual, not fitting into most of my journals. Ok so you said to draw the eye away/ I immediately thought of the very colorful flower papers you made. You've got white/beige/little rust or orange accents and then there are the ones with really bright colors. I don't remember what you called that printable set but I thought that you might back your picture strip onto that printable and in some places put a rather uneven wide border and in other places put a barely there border. The eye would see the photos, but also the bright flowers, sort of, and force a focus on the edge of that page for a moment longer. I know, weird, off the wall idea. I just thought I'd tell you what skipped through my brain when you mentioned something to draw the eye away from the obvious.

Wow! I’m an English speaking American and I’m not sure as to if you should have said “what” or “how”. I’m going to guess “how”. 😝

Fabulous💙🪻🩷

Hello Luise! UNDER and BELOW have similar meanings, so it is natural to get them mixed up with each other. UNDER tends to be used when something is covered from view, like "I am UNDER the bedcovers, " or I am UNDER the umbrella," or "I found the cigarette papers UNDER the floor,". But BELOW has to do with referencing one point with another with a downward direction, like "the temperature is 5 degrees BELOW zero." or "Sascha lives one floor BELOW mine", We wouldn't say in English, "I am below the umbrella" or "I am below the bedcovers." This sounds strange to the ear. Nor would we say, "the temperature is 5 degrees under zero" or "Sacha lives one floor under mine" When considering it like that, UNDER has a sense of proximity to what is covering it , like it s touching (but that's not a strict meaning, because we can also say "I feel UNDER the weather" and not "I feel below the weather," which doesn't make sense. Yes, the weather isn't touching, but it's a figure of speech when one doesn't feel in good health or is sad or depressed to say "I feel UNDER the weather"). On the other hand, BELOW has more a sense of space or distance from the point referenced, like "The Titanic is thousands of meters BELOW the surface of the sea." The point of reference is "the surface". I hope this helps! Also it is OK to say HOW ABOUT or WHAT ABOUT. The nuanced meaning is "How about this?" conveys an action. "What about this?" conveys an object. Honestly, this is truly academic minutiae and we are getting into Linguistic PhD weeds. Most people use them interchangeably without losing any meaning. So here is an example where you can relax. Sometimes, there are native English speakers who don't speak English properly, how about that?

Either…. How about…? Or the colloquial What about…? It’s cuter if you don’t work on your English. Better to work on your German. English accent & different words makes it more curious to watch and learn. Very entertaining….. and yes ‘ in my eyes’ is better here…. Coz of what you are doing. Loads of love from the mountains of Colorado

Inspiring as usual Luise, but have I missed something important? Is Sasha your boyfriend as well as your landlord?? ♥

Clearly there are English speaking viewers who may not have heard “in my eyes”, but that does not mean it is not a common expression in English. Every time you mention this one person who misled you, I feel like apologizing for all of us. Did this person SAY that they are an English professor?? You speak two languages better than some speak just one.
