Easy Prayer Journal Set up | Cut my Traveler's Notebook to fit B6 Slim
Hello my lovelies, today I share with you my unplanned prayer journal. I love documenting and journalling my spiritual growth and really missed having one of these with me. I kept this prayer journal super simple, using a blank midori b6 slim and a trimmed travelers notebook just to make it pretty. It's just tiny enough to be compact, but big enough to get all my prayers written down for the rest of the year. I'm completely smitten with this tiny journal!

Very informative! Thanks for taking the time to record this.
@@WillWorkForBooks I’m so glad this was helpful ☺️
I love your fisher of men stickers the little lady is adorable for my Prayer Journal I’m using the Hosanna Revival 5 year Journal it gives me 6 lines to write which is usually pretty good space I’ll journal prayers in almost anything so sometime I forget I have it this is my first year using it
I saw her on one of my PET tape rolls and I knew she would be perfect for that. A five year prayer journal sounds so lovely to have. I can imagine all the emotions reading through previous prayers. Lol, I do the same, every journal I have has mini prayers to God, even my diary will hime mini moments of prayer between. It's so cool to have met someone that does the same <3
Hi Paris ❤ everything is just sooo lovely!
Thank you so much my sister! It's been a while, I'm so happy to see you 🥰
Sisterrrr so happy to see you back and I loved this video and your ideas! 🤍I'm not a prayer journaler, although if I knew it was guaranteed that no one would ever read my private prayers, I definitely would haha! Please make more videos like this! 😍
@@my-white-bible 🤭 I know you’re not much of journaler, I feel like journaling would be you. Idk I just always imagine you with a tea and a pen in hand. Honestly, this journal can not house the entirety of my prayers, you know I talk wayyy to much 😂 It’s more like a summary to document my walk with the LORD. I love looking back and just getting those feels of how amazing He is😍 I’ve missed upon so much my sissy, Lord knows I always think of you 🤍 I spotted so many Christian notebooks and planners here for school season and kept thinking how Kat would have a ball picking out the prettiest pink and pastel ones and the mugs too, I always think of you when I see one and imagine it filled with one of those gross moringa teas. I’ll never drink a natural flavored one again 😂 chocolate or apple flavored at least for me
What a treat to wake up to a new video from you on a sunday morning, sweet sister. I love what you did for your prayer journal. Very inspirinng. I might give it a try as I just pray "on the go". Also: Congrats to 4K subscribers, Paris. You deserve so much more. Thanks and God bless 🤗🖋🌻
You are the sweetest! Your comments always make my day! 🥰 Even though this prayer journal can't house the entirety of my day's prayers, I do enjoy having at least a summary of them written down. I can at least keep track of my growth and continue my process of learning how to hear God. Strangely, I tend to forget a lot about what I pray for (honestly, I have a bad memory over all) and I definitly don't want to forget the God moments. When I skipped writing for a month, I felt so close to him, but I also can't remember what God put in my heart that month. I completely forgot about what my prayers consisted of, but I do remember the feelings 🤍 Maybe forgetting is just God giving me peace 😂 Ahh thank you! I didn't even notice I was close to 4k until last night after uploading. It was so exciting to see! I remember posting my first few videos thinking no one would ever see them, lol! Thank you for being here with me! You are such a blessing to me, I always thank God for sending you 🤍 May God bless you always, my dear sister!🥰
@@FrenchyInFocus This morning after seing your prayer journal I just turned around my commonplace journal (Midori A6 in Hobonichi cover) and started prayer journaling. Going through a tough time right now and God lead me to Psalm 31a couple of days ago. Didn´t want to forget that special moment. His peace. It felt good journaling out my prayers. I´m so happy to have found you, my friend.
@@MidlifeByKirstin I love this so much! Sometimes it's nice to write things out especially when it's a tough season. I feel like it's so easy for the tough stuff to overshadow the blessings we do have, even if it doesn't feel like we have any. There's always something good that God gives us daily. Ah Psalm 31 is one I've leaned on so many times. I'm glad we have these psalms to help us. I 'm so sorry you're going through a tough time too. I will be adding you to my prayers, right now! May God continue sending you more comfort and guidance as you go through this season 🤍 I will keep you in my heart, my dear friend
@@FrenchyInFocus Thank you so much
😇🩷🙏🙌
🙌🤍!!
Nice looking Bible. I have a PSQ and love it. I enjoy the ESV, NIV, and CSB.
@@missyp1313 I adore the PSQ, the size feels so perfect. I don’t know how they do it, I have bibles with the same font size and they are huge, wrist breakers 😂 Of all three, which do you find yourself picking up the most?
@@FrenchyInFocus right now I am using the NIV more. It has a full yap and I just like how it feels
I also switched to a sterling ink. Well actually, I’m still using my hobo to complete out the year, but I added the sterling ink b6 common planner. At first, I was really excited and my pens were working really well with it. After a few weeks, I’ve run into dry, awful pages again 😬
@@StationeryDumpling I’m still using this hobo too but more for fun I guess. I refuse to use my good pens with this paper. I’ve been using random ink samples I don’t love and a cheap fp. This paper is not worthy 😂 I feel so guilty for tossing the first half and feel like I wasted so much money on this system that I have to at least do something with the second half. Are you still gonna buy hobonichi next year? Or will you just bullet journal with the good hobonichi notebooks? I’m so conflicted 😐
As far as I know, the 2024 Sterling Ink planners are still old Tomoe River Paper, not Sanzen, which is why you probably prefer it to the one in the Cousin. I‘m really disappointed with the new paper as well and will probably not be getting my usual Hobonichi for next year. 😢 I know that it wasn‘t choice, the manufacturer discontinued the 52gsm paper but I‘m really sad about it. Thanks for sharing with us, I love seeing how other people use their planners and journals 💌
Oh no! I thought they were all Sanzen and she had the better quality version of this inconsistent paper. Well that kinda ruins my 2025 plans lol I saw her offering a new b6 slim and was fully convinced. I'm truly surprised that something similar doesn't exist already. What are we going to do???
@@FrenchyInFocusher website says it’s Sanzen for 2024. The one I have is the b6 half year and it’s definitely not the old TRP. I was excited about it too, and it felt nicer to write in. But then I ran into bad pages in the blank pages section and am bummed again. 😢
@@StationeryDumpling I agree it’s def not OGTRP. I just ran into a a bad page this morning 😒 I mean at least it’s a bit more consistent than hobonichi’s. I bulk purchased these JIYU inserts so I’m set for this TN version of my journaling for a good while, but I still want a bound book though. I remember the hesitation in your voice when you were unboxing your sterling video. I kept thinking this girl is my twin with these TRP papers, why are we such paper snobs!! 😂 I really need to stop being a lurker and hop on my phone to start commenting on your videos! I’ve watched every video you’ve made, your hands are always on my living room tv 🥰
Love the video, how do you shoot your overhead shots? A special tripod?
I use modified mic arm for my overhead shots :)
Thanks for the update, Paris! I use a Hobonichi Weeks as my main planner again this year (original TR paper). My two TNs are for journaling, notes and scripture memory verses (For that I use a TN undated weekly and just extend the lines to the right page. On the left page I write the verses in English and on the right side in German. The verses come from Robert j. Morgan´s book "100 Bible Verses everyone should know by heart" which I love. This year I´m just writing them, next year I will incorporate them into my weekly planner to attempt to memorize them (my brain gives me a hard time with that so I just take it slowly). For work I use an A5 Leuchtturm original paper dot grid notebook as a bullet journal and have done so for years. I really need to keep work and private life separate to give my brain rest from work issues. I am in love with the TN system, so I will use the dated TN weekly memo in my blue Kyoto edition TN as a planner plus grid insert (my favorite) for notes. Scripture, notes and journaling will be in my other two TNs. As for content, I love everything you do, sweet sister! I would love to hear what scripture you are currently reading. Do you follow a plan? Sending love and praying for your health!
Thank you so much for your love and prayers! It means so much to me, my dear sister! May God bless you always! Oh I wish I purchased a weeks planner this year. I totally forgot that this would be the last year of OG TRP. I love how you use your tns! I actually have that book somewhere, I've never used it. I definitly need to find it now! That's such a good idea! I am the same way I need to keep work and private separately. I like to just my iPad for work, using digital calendars and notebooks since things change so much. I prefer analog, but for work it's easier since it since to all my devices and I can delete everything vs shredding. My tns and notebooks are my happy places. I don't need or want any stress in there, lol You have the blue Kyoto!! I've always wanted that one! In my opinion that one is the most beautiful edition they released so far. Does the stamping fade easily? That was always a fear of mine and why I never purchased one. I love rose gold and blue, it's such a perfect combo!
@@FrenchyInFocus Honestly the blue Kyoto is my favorite TN and hasn´t left my desk yet (in over a year). So it´s still perfect. Very nice leather and beautiful foiling. I´ve recently seen a very well used one and the foiling was still great and not much faded. So I´ve decided not to baby it any more and just use it next year. My second favorite is the cameI. It just feels sooo nice (using a Passport as my wallet and a regular for journaling). Also got the black Tokyo edition recently. The leather was very stiff and not nice to the touch so I slathered it with leather balm a couple of times so now it´s at least decent to the touch. The silver holographic foiling makes it a dream team with the Kaweco Sport iridescent pearl. What I like about Morgan´s book are the articles on the verses. Very inspiring.
@@MidlifeByKirstin Oh I will have to hunt down a Kyoto edition then, it's my dream tn! I was thinking about purchasing the Tokyo one, but I already knew the black leather wasn't my favorite. Ahh you are right!! That kaweco is the perfect pen for that tn! As for the book, I will need to order another. I think it was misplaced during all the moving around we did last summer. My pastor gifted us all a copy during the holidays and it was on my list of to dos, but I was too focused on finishing my reading plan lol
Oh Ps. I haven’t had any issues with the HB weeks, which is interesting
@@SM-JIL the Weeks is still the old paper! I wish I bought one this year!! I believe they make the switch to sanzen paper next year
I truly love your TN covers - I have mine which I’d love to be fuzzier but it’s quite smooth in places. Do you do anything besides daily use to get them looking like that? Yours look like suede. I bought the blue as I loved yours so much. I have to say that I agree with you - the Sanzen paper is very inconsistent in my Cousin. Mi have he full year and not the Avec. I’m using my TN as a place to write my journal prompts and scriptures I want to collate but I love my Cousin layouts. I can be writing smoothly with my fountain pens (the F and EF points are more problematic on this paper) and then suddenly my pen skips. At first I thought it was my nibs, but testing on other paper confirms it’s Sanzen. I think in trying to combat the issue of bleeding, they inconsistently coated the paper. The best ink by far on this is De Atramentis black ink and my Leonardo or Sailor pens. Next would be the Iroshizuku inks. But Diamine and FWP inks have issues with this paper. Love to see you back sister with your updates ❤
You have to try the tape method!! My olive was smooth like the black tns, but now it's just as fuzzy as the camel. I don't upkeep it either, it just stays soft and fuzzy. I have a ytshort on how I did it, but it's just covering the tn in packing tape, rubbing it so it adheres well and pulling it off☺ As for the paper, I feel so confused. I felt crazy at first thinking there was something wrong with my pens! I usually write with EF and F, so I did try a B and that's a bit better. I still had skipping and bleeding issues too. The paper robbed me of both my money and my joy of writing with fps. Who would've thought that paper would be so important, lol. So far, the Sterling Ink paper is a lot better, which gives me some hope😅 I'm assuming its is a newer version of Sanzen, maybe a better quality? I miss decorating in a Cousin. I love the A5 size and having so much freedom. I love my tns too, but I know archiving them won't be as satisfying as putting one or two bound books on a shelf. I also adored having all the layouts in just one book vs all these inserts. Do you have any idea what you would use next year?? I know it's early, but I feel like the options are limited if your into a Cousin style planner. 😔
I love the hobonichi cousin, but it’s the first paper I’ve ever used with a fountain pen, so I wouldn’t know if it’s awful! lol 😂
@@wells6351 I envy you 😂 I wish I didn’t know anything about original Tomoe River paper. The experience is so different. I miss the cousin though, I hope I just have a defective version 😢
I would love a prayer journey update. Definitely not pushing. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Hobonichi Cousin and Sterling Ink.
I will definitely keep praying about that one, I would like to do an update☺
I read the NKJV, ESV, and KJV; but I’m old. I liked the HCSB before they made changes and updated it to the new CSB, but I prefer those translations closer to the KJV. I love the purple and blue Schuyler Bibles although I don’t have one. Thank you for sharing!
@@MrsinTNWhat did you not like about the new CSB? I’m still new to this translation and would love your insight ☺️
Where did you get that brown zipper pouch? It’s so cute. Sorry if I missed that part if you mentioned it.
Hey! tt's a cotton pouch from Travelers Company. It used to be a limited edition, but now they have it as part of their regular line up😊
I love mine, in EF. Love the writing experience. Congratulations.. still 😊
I love this pen, it's still such a smooth writing experience. Definitely one of my top faves
This Bible unboxing inspires me to try another version.i am old school and feel comfortable in the NIV❤ Looking forward to you future faith-based videos.
I am the same! I've been stuck on the ESV translation for years! I tried so many translations, but could never really stick to them. I was surprised by how much I loved the CSB. It just reads so beautifully. I can really cuddle up with God's word and not have to pause to look something up or re-read passages that are worded funny. What translation are you thinking of trying??
So your the mystery person who bought the purple csb on Evangelical Bible’s website lol. That’s actually awesome. I just got my CSB Schuyler PSQ two weeks ago in the Marble Calfskin Mahogany and I love it! This is my favorite Bible so far. I started reading this translation this year after reading through ESV. It reads beautifully. Plus my church uses the CSB so I take this bible everywhere I go. I’m so happy for you and cant wait to see God speak to you with his word.
That was definitely me! I think I completed a world record for the fastest checkout time 😂 It's so nice to hear someone else having a similar experience. It's also exciting to get a new bible too. I have a super tiny bible collection and wouldn't hesitate buying another one of these bibles. They are crafted so beautifully, as God's word should be. It's such a blessing to have one of these. The one you purchased looks so stunning! The marble calfskin was my second choice. Does it have the same floppiness as the goatskin?? I was such a die hard ESV girl, but the CSB really surprised me! I've tried so many translations, but never made it past Genesis. Somehow I could just read the CSB for hours on end and now adding the PSQ to the mix, it just became my perfect daily bread combo💙💜
@@FrenchyInFocus yes! It’s feels so good in the hands. I got a Cambridge Pitt Minion goatskin and I love how it felt. Then I began diving into the calfskin and honestly I became a calfskin guy lol. I love goatskin but calfskin is where my hearts at 😂. I love my ESV and I thought about getting the cross way Alpha in the Horween collection. The new Schuyler PSQs are a bit bigger and have the drop caps in the letter. I’m hoping that I can add one of those to my collection. Then lastly an RL Allen 53 primer and I’ll be set for a while 😂🙏🏼.
What a beautiful video! Paris I don’t know how was it possible but I’ve missed 3 of your videos! Anyway loved them all! I’ve missed you! God bless you dear sister, I really hope that you are fine!
Oh my sister, I'm surprised if any of my videos pop op on feeds nowadays with how inconsistent I've been with posting.😂 It's been a season and half, but it's all good! I've been taking this time to just rest. I've enjoyed having more time to focus more on God and my family and now I'm just praying and waiting for the right time to get back to my weekly posting☺Thank you for taking the time to comment and sticking around, it means the world to me! ❤ May God bless you and your family, always, my beautiful sister!! 🥰
@@FrenchyInFocus you are doing perfectly then putting everything on the right space and place, I am glad to hear it! I am here waiting… take your time ☺️😘
What a super lovely bible. It’s so much commenting on bible translations out there. It awakes a lot of feelings. And so many people are so firm on what’s the best translation. But when you see their reasoning around it one understands they came to their conclusion mainly because they heard someone they trust say it’s the best or most accurate . And others just like the feeling of the language when reading. So they recon it to be the best. But the very foundation to know anything about a bible translation is to compare it to the Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek that it’s translated from. Only then can one know to what degree the translation is literal translated, and to what degree the translators took liberties in making the text sound English the way they want. This could be adding words and phrases, leaving words out, taking out original pronouns and replacing them with proper names to “aid” the readers understanding, changing tenses on verbs, switching original wordings with an explanation, gender inclusive which means adding “and sister” where the original has only “brother”, writing “they” where there’s actually “he” etc. And there’s also this with harmonizing of proper names for the same persons in NT and OT where the names actually are spelled differently. To “help” the reader be sure what person in the OT it’s talking about in NT. And many other things. Still, there's nothing wrong reading a less literal translation. May be that translation makes one understand the meaning of the text better. Or, understand it at all. Better to read such a translation, than not reading at all. The translators behind it are after all interested to help the reader understand the text. That said. Words matter. And say one only reads one language, like English. Then one should know what translations are the more literal ones. And the reason for that is that almost everybody reading the Bible in either translation unconsciously thinks the very words one is reading exists in the original text. But that might not be. But being aware of this, still reading one’s preferred translation, it can be a very useful thing to have a literal translation to compare with when studying closely certain passages. Because single words very often matter when pondering the word of God. The most literal translations (word for word) in larger production in our days are KJV, NKJV, ESV, NASB95, LSB. They have different advantages. And then RV and ASV are very literal (may be the most literal) but old and hard to get. And then there’s also YLT (Young’s Literal Translation), but then again this becomes almost too literal for normal reading. But certainly recommended for check up.
Hey!!! It's so good to see you again my brother!! I hope you are doing well!! Yes I agree with what you're saying! I've always read from ESV and NKJV for the most literal translation I could have, personally. I wish I could have the capacity to learn the original languages, but at least we have those 🤎 When I first started reading the CBS I was worried about "they" and certain words being changed. I'm so used to seeing he and I'm leery of inclusive terms in newer translations as I am more of a traditional person. Truthfully, I purchased this bible months ago and I prayed for a while before making this video public, as I never want to lead anyone new to the faith astray. So far, I find CSB to be really good, better than most of the other more dynamic translations I've read. It's a nice casual read while staying as accurate as this type of translation could ever be. Perhaps, this video could also encourage another person to try an easier translation? One that would be less intimidating to start reading God's word and building a habit of daily reading. For my house and homeschooling my little one, this translation has been such a blessing with his understating of the text. I will always be an ESV girl and I'm so grateful the Lord has allowed me to read through this translations dozens of times, at least enough to recognize when something is off. Along with prayer, it has been so helpful while I was on my mission to try and find an easier translations for this season of our life 😊
@@FrenchyInFocus yes I understand you. I’m living in an area using a different language than English on daily basis. And I’m regularly encountering immigrants from different parts of the world trying to learn the language here. When reading the bible with/for them, I almost always end up with a bible translation with easy language, though less literal. To understand at all anything is crucial, and motivation to hear more and hopefully wanting to read on one’s own is important. Still this is continuously a battle with me. I have compared translations so to say on daily basis for years. Currently I have actually 27 different versions in my list (not all checked to the same degree though) but I so very often get disappointed when a translation has left out words and say replaced them with an explanation without informing the reader, or not included words or changed them for some other reason. Not so much because the main meaning is lost, but as mentioned earlier, the reader unconsciously believes every word he or she is reading exists in the original text. One is reading the bible, “how can the words not be in the source text”. I have been in conversations with people that have been pondering single words in scripture and felt led to a conclusion about that special single word, and that word was actually not in the source text. So that is something to think about too. We don’t want to bad mouth any translation. Because if we are careless in this we could actually bad mouth the Bible itself in the listeners ears, right? And then it’s also a dilemma giving someone an easy-to-read translation and then same time informing them not to trust it’s wording. You need another bible to verify it. What a turnoff. So the art of translating literal and at the same time understandable, even flowing, that’s the real key, right? It’s actually interesting for me to read your experience. I understand you’re a conscientious christian loving the Lord, loving the Word. Wanting to reach people around you with the Word. For my self I kinda have come to the conclusion that ESV, among the modern translations, best accomplishes the combination of legibility and accuracy (though I miss the italics). But from what you say now, may be even the ESV is not easy enough to understand in some cases, even for English speaking people. I’m noting your experience.
Absolutely stunning Bible. ❤
It's been such a joy to own one of these!
Hi Paris ❤ your blueberry bible is stunning! Purple covers are so beautiful. I had to get my one CSB Bible I own from the shelf as it’s not my daily use Bible. It is a She Reads Truth edition in a rose gold color cover. The font is a bit small for my comfort. For years I used a NIV study Bible then changed to a NASB which I still use quite a bit although I got a NKJV interleaved Bible for note taking and that’s what I’ve been in most recently. I have a large Bible collection although the majority remain on a shelf and are used only now and then. I’m so glad you filmed a new video, is good to hear your voice again. ❤xo
My dear Connie!!! How are you?! I miss you dearly! I’ve always looked at the she reads truth, they are so pretty, but the font looked too tiny for such a big book. I can see an interleaved Bible being nice to have for note taking! I’ve been using the 2nd half of my abandoned hobonichi to take notes. While it works, I do wish the notes were in my bibles to reference with ease. I have notes in too many notebooks, which feels impossible to find any info I need 😓
Nice Bible! I recently picked up a new CSB also. I've really enjoyed using it. It is the one I take with me on Sundays even though it is big and kinda heavy.
It’s such a nice, easy going translation. I feel like I can curl up and just enjoy reading through the Bible without distractions. With my other translations, I still need have my phone with me to look up things I didn’t fully understand. I haven’t felt the need to do that at all with the CSB 😊Does your church use CSB?
@@FrenchyInFocus No, not usually. Our pastor (my husband) usually uses the NLT (another easy to read translation). Enjoy your new Bible!
I recently bought a Standard size & moved from my Passport size into that. I initially liked the compactness of the Passport but the inserts are too small to be practical for me & they fill up too quick. My Standard is a non-Traveler's Company one, same height but 2cm wider & the inserts from the same company are cheaper than the TC Passport inserts too so better value for money.
The standard size is the perfect size imo, the passport is too tiny for everyday use. Every year I set up a passport size in hopes that I would finally fall in love with the size - never happens, lol Oh, how lovely an extra 2 cm would be! I could add a few extra inserts! I do use other inserts from different brands, sadly they don't offer much savings as I prefer to use fountain pen friendly paper. I used to make my own custom covers when I was a teen, perhaps I should try again
Great video! My first fountain pens were Chinese brands sent to me by a CZcams friend. After that, my first purchase was a Pilot Metropolitan that I found locally as they had marked down their fountain pens since they weren’t selling. I’ve since branched out into those with gold nibs and really love vintage pens. But Kaweco pens remains a favorite as they also write smoothly and I can replace the classic ones cheaply if I lose one.
I have missed your videos! Admittedly, I’m more interested in fountain pens and Bible studies etc., but I try to watch your videos whenever they’re posted. You have such a soothing voice?
The best ink presentation.
I was also tempted by the Pion tape with the different patterns, but I’m trying to be better about impulse buying. Let us know how you like using yours 🤩💜💜
Honestly that’s my favorite one! They go with anything🤎 The girls are nice but I feel like I like her old ones better. These girls all have the same hair and pretty much the same dress shape. Her other tapes had variety. It’s the little things lol I’m trying to be better with impulse buying as well! I bought way too much the past two years and still going through everything. I really don’t need more stationery 😅
I just started with the hobby and my very first fountain pen is the Lamy Scala. I can't wait for it arrive!
Sorry for my earlier comment. Didn’t mean to offend. Keep up the amazing reviews. I also take it back what I said, I have now also watched some of your other videos. I honestly just thought there was a new strange trend going on. But didn’t think before I typed up my previous message. As they say, don’t say anything if you don’t have anything nice to say. 🫶🏼 Have a nice day.
Hello Dear Friend! Been missing you! I hope you are enjoying summer and doing well. 💞
Great collection of pens. Thank you for sharing.
Welcome back! I missed you and your videos. I think we have very similar taste in stationery. Pion is one of my favourite artist and I love that washi tape roll that you got! 😍
I loveeee how these are swatching. I love the texture, it looks like coloured pencil on a textured paper. I’m not a fan of shimmer, I prefer chromoshading and sheen as a treat, but these are tempting 😅
😆 you are right! They do look like colored pencil! I kept having this nostalgic feeling while making these swatches and now I know why😂This paper was such a pain to work with, but the results were worth it! I’m definitely more of a chromashading person as well, since I prefer ef and f nibs, but these glitters are too pretty. The way they dance on a full page of writing is mesmerizing 😍
So glad you’re back sister! Missed you! ❤❤❤. Hope you’re well
My sister! It’s so good to see you! It feels good to be back 🥰🥰🥰
So relaxing to watch! What is that lavender thing around 12:50 is it a sticker? It almost looks like embroidery.
Thank you! It’s actually a little iron on patch I found on Etsy 😊
Sissy, you're back! 😍I pray you're doing well, we've missed you!!!!!
Thank you for the warm welcome 🤭 it’s too long🤎
good to see you. consider purchasing a candle warmer lamp. Target has one for 30$ and Amazon has a wide variety.
It’s so good to see you too!! It’s been on my mind to purchase one. I’d imagine these candles would last so much longer too!
Super happy to see you back ❤ welcome back! This haul is so cute 🥰 (i love the camel TN too!)
Thank you!! I’m so happy to see you! I hope you are doing well🤎 I love the camel texture, I’m happy I was able to create the same feeling with the olive color🤭
I will take 2 lifetime to finish all this ink 😂
I like to share with friends so they don't last too long😅
@@FrenchyInFocus hope i get friends like you , but alas
Oh this video is so, so beautiful, sister! I hope you will make more of these! 🤍
Thank you, my love! I’m so glad you liked this one!! I had so much fun planning this video and will definitely be doing it again in the near future☺️ Lord willing, I’ll have the time to post something this weekend, at least to get the ball rolling on this channel again🙈
@@FrenchyInFocus hi lovely! I've been looking out for more of your videos because I thoroughly enjoy them. I'm glad to see you still commenting and I hope all is well with you as I know your beloved dog sadly passed from your last video. I would love to see more relaxing faith based content from you if you feel called to do so. Blessings ❤
@@Little_blue_bureau Hello my sister! Thank you for your patience and please forgive me for not posting as I would've liked. It's been a tough season, first my dog, then a few more health related trials spiraled along at the same time. I will be posting content soon as I'm feeling a heavy nudge to do so. While I have a few unposted stationery videos edited, I would've prefer to post faith related content ☺ perhaps I'll post those as I'm creating my preferred content. However, I will certainly be making more faith-based content as that is what my heart and what I feel God is calling me to do 🥰
Just catching up on your videos! I'm soo sorry for your loss 😭 it's so, so hard... Take as much time as you need, sis. I love how you have used scripture to help you process these emotions, so beautiful and inspiring. Keeping you in my prayers always 🙏
Thank you my beautiful sister ☺️ The LORD is my strength and my song, the only way I can deal with all the stuff currently going on is because of Him. I’m grateful our God is so faithful and is truly with us. Even though it’s a tough season right now, somehow I feel this inexplicable joy in the midst of these trials. I can only credit this joy to the fact that I’m seeking, well more like leaning on God more than ever. It feels so good to be under His wings and just feel His presence, especially when you’re feeling defeated. On another note, one thing that sucks is how people discredit an animals death as being just a dog with no soul, blah blah blah…to me Dolce was heaven sent at the perfect time and loyally served me and my fam till his last breath🤎
I love my estie. I have it in a journalers nib. I agree about the Decimo. Such a nice nib but the pen is so skinny it isn’t comfortable for long writing sessions. I am happy to use it for notes or lists. But I also wish I had gotten the VP instead. I have seen so much love for the traveler’s pen, I may need to try it next. You have a beautiful collection. Thanks for sharing it!
😇🩷🙏🙌
Girl I would love to see a bible rebinding video as I love crafting and have been wanting to do it better than the one piece leather cover I made for my bloated journaling bible
