Wow! I am always astounded by how much you pack into your beautiful journals. Every page is a work of art! You've really captured the feeling of meadow in your embroideries too! So inspired and at the same time feeling overwhelmed. I can empathise with the struggle to keep going in winter, especially as it sounds like it's been super challenging for you. Your new digi is delightful. Thank you so much for sharing your unique work

Jibid, I hope things are improving for you. So lovely to have you back. Your work is so inspiring, you put your whole heart and soul into it. I just love Matilda. Dianne from New Zealand

Jibid! So LOVEly to see you again!!! I don't think I would ever complain that your videos are too long. It always feels like I'm having a cuppa tea with a friend when I see your journals. :-)

Good to have you back after your travails. Peter Ustinov once pointed out that after the Dark Ages, the Italians came out with the most beautiful art in the Renaissance. Beauty is always more inspiring and meaningful after dark times.

Jibid, so happy to see you back. As always every page turn is an inspiration. I can’t wait to see more of your creations. The new kit is precious. TFS 😊💕

So happy to see you back. I know your preamble was a serious, meaningful explanation, but when you said your craft room committed suicide, I laughed out loud. I think mine went the way of yours. Happy you’re here and it’s a lovely journal.

It’s wonderful to have you back Jibid! We all learn so much from you. Your journal is a masterpiece. ❤️❤️

A long hard Winter indeed! The weatherman said it has been 6months since Michigan has experienced temps in the mid-fifties. Lack of Sunlight, draws us down! Love that you are getting back to the creative soul; love your creations Jibid!

I'm so sorry for your less than perfect winter..your work is beautiful, always, you can be confident in that! Glad you're back and God bless you!

Never doubt yourself jibid! You are supremely talented! Hope life is running more smoothly for you! TFS your beautiful journal!

Jibid, I was thrilled to log on and see there was a new video from you! How wonderful to have you back. This journal is gorgeous, stunning, magical. I think you must have been a flower fairy in your previous life....you have such a personal connection to nature. Stay strong and know that you have touched many lives with your artistry. Hugs ❤️.

I have truly missed you. I trust that your healing will continue and you’ll have greater joy and personal fulfillment in the coming days and months.

Hi Jibid, so happy you're back, I've watched and loved all of your videos (lol some of them more than once), your voice is so calming to me and I always look forward to hearing you talk about your works of art. And that is what your journals are, beautiful and glorious works of art!

So glad you're back! You have been missed. Know you are loved!

JBid. So glad you were able to overcome the demons. You are perfectly human as all of us go through some dark times. The sun is shining again. You are a very talented and creative woman who has blessed us with your amazing and beautiful journals. This journal is a true beauty and an inspiration. TFS

So nice to see you back journaling and crafting , I do hope it is bringing you joy and hope for the future. Keep creating and always have the sun shining in your heart. Beautiful journal.

Wow! Absolutely incredible! A remarkable creation Jibid! So happy to see a new video from you - you're such an inspiration!

Ohhhhh wwwowwwww! LOVE this journal. You are so incredibly talented and creative! So glad you are back in action. I have really missed seeing your artistry. It is truly an inspiration to me v😍🤗

So excited to see you are back. You create the most beautiful, interesting and original journals I have ever seen, they are truly works of art.

Gosh I missed you and your wonderful art something fierce so very glad your back!!! Your incredible and you are “the” artist that inspires me the most. ❤️

How did I miss this??? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so insanely beautiful, Jibid! Everything, just everything is incredibly well thought out and appeals to all the senses. Bravo, lady! 🤗💕

Jibid you are a warm Spring welcome on a dreary Winter's day. Sorry things have been so pants for you, I can relate. I was delighted to receive your tag set my daughters kept by for me for Mother's Day, thank you so very much, they're lovely. I LOVE this journal and your thoughts & creativity into it . Hope you've turned a corner xxx

Jibid, I've missed you very much! I did a happy dance when I saw this video. I'm so glad you are back. My hubby and I had a very similar winter so I totally understand your message today.

Welcome back Jibid. It's been a long dreary winter without your sweet voice and spectacular artwork. I love the new story and the journal is splendid.

Jibid, your talent is simply astounding! I only dream of doing as well as you do in your art. I'm thrilled you are back. I hope you have a wonderful spring, dusting off the last few months. You are loved ❤️ truly!

Oh my - I am so glad you're back. I have been checking everyday to see if you had returned and what a happy surprise this morning. I understand about losing confidence - but your work is amazing - always remember that and that there are many of us out here who can only wish we had half of your creativity. You truly have been missed. This journal is stunning.

I am gobsmacked! No need from your “fans” perspectives to be at any loss of confidence in yourself- you continue to shine untarnished in our eyes! I have watched and watched for your return to the public, but also am very aware of your need, as an artist, to rebuild your muse! We are a selfish lot who think mainly of ourselves and our need to hear and see you..and when possible to own your works! After receiving my beautiful herbarium samples, I wrote to let you know how pleased I was to own your pieces and how sad I was that I missed your note about the herbarium book ( and how I wish intensely to be on a list for your next set when ( and if) you make them)....when I received no reply, I should have realized there was a serious back story! Now, I am, like the rest, thrilled to see you back, hoping you build your mental and physical strength with the return of Spring! Take your care seriously despite our demands and desires to see more of your work and hear your lilting voice! Blessings and prayers come your way from many directions...Bonnie in Ohio

Welcome back Jibid. I missed you so much. I hope life treats you much better going forward.

You are my favorite person that I subscribe to. I’ve been going through withdrawal symptoms since you’ve been gone. Today when I logged on and saw you had a new video I literally gasped out loud. I was so happy! Your journals are so beautiful and stunning. Anytime anybody asks me what a junk journal is I show them one of your videos. And they also are stunned. I aspire to make something as beautiful as one of your journals. I hope you’re doing well. You are multi talented. And I’m sure you’ve heard this before but you really, really should consider writing a novel. (I’m a screenwriter myself.) You are a wonderful writer as well as an artist. I’m so glad you returned to KZfaq, I’m sure I’m not the only person who has really missed you and your books. And as an American I can say that I love your “accent” and your sense of humor.

Simply beautiful! The colors, the story- so happy you are back and feeling better! 💕 I always thought you would make an excellent writer, loved the entire concept! ❤️

I love how woodland themed your journals always are 🥰

Welcome back mrs, you were missed ❤

Beautiful Journal. Thank you for sharing your talent.

so happy to see youre back...every single one of your books are filled to the brim with beautiful and interesting bits and pieces,every turn of page is a pleasing surprise.I sometimes play your videos again just to have on in the background while i work as i find your voice so calming and comforting...so please dont ever doubt yourself as you are truly talented....keep up the excellent work ...hugs..

Stunning journal! You have amazing talent.

JIBID!!!!!!!!!!!! Sweet Jibid!!! WOW...what a beautiful story I just read....so touching...it's Perfect!! This journal you've created is unbelievably perfect for the story of June and Olivia...I don't even know where to start...the ruler is brilliant....and the printable kit...SPECTACULAR!! I'm in love with your style of watercolor painting!!! What a gift to see your latest post this afternoon. I'm so, so Happy!!! xoxo

thank goodness you are back!! I have so missed your videos and amazing artwork! second to none. Lovely journal and wonderful whimsical kit!! Spring is in the air -(thankfully).... this was a long hard winter for many of us!!

Oh my, Jibid!! This book is just beyond stunning... it is beautiful and so fascinating to see your ideas come to be .... exceptional. One can only sigh at the wonder of this art form, your take on it ... !! TFS!!!

What an amazing journal and story!!!!! You are so talented!!!!!! Thank you for sharing your gift!!!!

Oooo I'm happy to see you!! What a treasure you are and all the goodness you create! Life is hard but art conquers all😉❤️💯💌💕

🌿🍀🍃🍁🍂. Love this journal and probably because there is a story to it, that makes it so endearing🥰 your work is stunning👍🌺🌸

I can relate to how you are feeling. You’re extremely talented though so try to remind yourself of that. Beautiful journal😍🤗

Happy Spring Jibid🤗 So glad you are back. Missed you showing your wonderful artwork. Your book is spectacular. I have been trying my hand at natural dyeing as well. It's amazing what color a certain textile will turn. Hope to see more of your talent.

Don't apologise for the length of the video Jibid. I am very happy to sit in your company and enjoy your gorgeous work.

This has been sheer delight. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. The Dyer's Journal is stunning...color, dyes, fabric... after my own heart. Every detail thoughtfully transformed. Your watercolor flowers...so sweet. Matilde's story and artwork, precious. It was like a Beatrix Potter venture....sheer delight.

I am in awe. This is the first 'junk' journal I've seen with an actual theme that permeates the journal. I believe in June. I see her as a soulmate. Dying, and poetry and just stuff. Thank you.

Welcome back Jibid, the journal is gorgeous and made with so much love and care. I also love your new digi kit, being an artist myself l appreciate the work that has gone into it. Hugs Susanna xx 😊❤

Jibid, you are an amazing woman!

you just get better and better. i didn't expect something more incredible than the silk road but you have done it. brill xxx

I have missed you! You are amazing and I simply love your work.

So very,very good to see you back and hear your voice. I can feel your heart and spirit in your journals and art. They speak to my spirit and heart and some times bring me to watery eyes. I feel so encouraged and inspired to try this kind of deep, patient, seeking expression. Thank you Jibid

Welcome back! I missed seeing your beautiful work.

So lovely to see you back. I suspect that there is a little bit of June in all off us but very few let it free. X

Sooo sooo happy to see a new video and to hear your voice. We have missed you. I pray that things are looking up for you and that your feeling better! I could listen to you talk allllllll day long! Hugs, from North Carolina

Jibid, I'm glad you're back creating again. Your journal is fabulous, inspiring and intimidating all at once. You add so much of yourself to your books, it's no wonder you needed a break to recharge. Just know you have people all over the world thinking kind thoughts, wishing you well and hoping no other thing goes on the fritz. Be happy!

Ohhh I've missed you!!! So happy to see and hear you!! I hope all is well with you in these new days...

So glad to see you back! Your journal is absolutely amazing Jibid!

So thoughtfully made, attention to every detail and authentically filled with home dyed cottons- what could be better! Good to see you again, you haven't lost your touch :)

Even when we take a photo of the same thing, it looks completely different, I value your perspective more probably than you’ll ever know, I can’t thank you enough for sharing your journey and the things you create, they truly inspire, and are magic......Magnificent Jibid, Magnificent......

It's such a beautiful journal Jibid. I read the back story and it was lovely. You're very talented. You have a lovely way with words.

I am blown away with the amount of detail and attention you have put into this journal, every journal you make. If I read the sad story then I must watch a comedy so maybe later. I didn't skip the beginning just listened while my cat, who thinks she is small enough to sit on my shoulder tried to get herself comfy. Thank you for uploading this and it was not too long your work is amazing🌞

What a labor of love. So much dying and planning and careful work to make the pages beautiful and long-lasting.

So good to see you and your beautiful creations back, looking forward to reading June’s story x

I haven't missed you as I literally just found you!! As I savored your journal and then read the story, my vision was blurry with wet tears!! This is a most beautiful journal!! Thank you for sharing it with the world!! I pray that whatever kept you from posting for a while has all melted away and the greenness of spring makes you smile!

Thank you so much for sharing your talent and creativity with every one. I don't think people realize how much work goes into a journal.

Well done,missed your beautiful work

So good to see you are back. Love this journal!

I've yet to see any journal as original and beautiful as yours! Really! You put in SO-O-O much work! I am so glad to NOT see scrapbook paper (as beautiful as they can be). If you still feel a loss of confidence, sit down and list all the skills and talents it takes to put together your creations. such as being able to use color and balance, patience to work of each project and judge what to use in the journal. When you're finished, thank God for giving them to you and for creating YOU. Think about it....there is NO ONE like you...at all! Special hugs to you.

I am glad you're back! Your kit is totally LOVELY!♥️

Oh Jibid, you bring tears to my eyes. You of all people I watch need not feel insecure in your craft. Your journals are fabulous, inspiring and you're one of my journal heroes. I'm sending you health, strength, confidence, creativity and inspiration. I know by the amount of comments you've received that your loved. Thank you for your courage to share your road with us and for all the lovely journals you share. You're amazing and I'm so glad you're back.

As a mother with a difficult relationship with both my daughters the story of Olivia and June touched me and pulled at my heart strings. I think I now know I need to make a daughters journal. Thanks for the inspiration. And as always this journal is amazing and beautiful😘

It is so lovely to see you here again, dear Jibid. You've been missed. This journal is wonderful. Your work never disappoints and is such a source of inspiration. I do think I can understand about having a care about reading, or watching, sad things when not in a "good head space", so your caution is appreciated. But I have to say that I did read the story and it makes this journal even more evocative and touching. Thank you so much for sharing with us, your creative work and your own struggles. I'm so glad that you found your way back.

I love your stories that you write. I also love the way you did this journal. I love botanicals you used, so wonderful.

Beautiful journal!!! Your talent is unapproachable!!!!!! So good to see you back. Have missed you. TFS once again.

This is so beautiful!! It is amazing how much we have forgotten about using nature in our crafts. Thanks you so much for reminding us that sometimes we just need to step outside a little bit to see the endless possibilities that there are!

The most beautiful journal I have seen. Love the way you have kept the colours scheme perfectly matched on each page with no jarring pieces to distract the eye. How lovely to have a story to accompany the book too. Absolutely perfect x

Oh my goodness! this journal is so................. amazing! The attention to detail, the story - just WOW! You are such an original, uniquely talented lady Jibid. Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring. Love the digi kit too!

Your artwork is beautiful! So much of yourself.

Incredible journal and fun, soft, whimsical digi kit! Glad you have returned to enlighten us! TFS the inspiration and creativity!

I was just telling my husband and son about your amazing work. What a splendid surprise to see you back on KZfaq. I hope spring fills your world with great joy - the way your artwork and videos fill mine with complete joy.

This is so beautiful. Thank you for saving this here. Very touching.
