Melina, please don’t apologize for being run down. We all go through downtime. God and family come first and foremost. THEN if you have time you can do a video once in a while. Your mental health is worth so much more than a video. Please, take care of YOU and your family. I for one am not leaving your channel. I love you and your family so much. Hugs love and prayers for you all. Take care girl. You are a blessing to everyone you come in contact with. ❤❤
Awesome tassel. Keep taking the time you need to take care of yourself and spend time with your family. A change of pace & focus can be refreshing. Blessings & prayers.
My dear Melina my husband and I have both experienced sickness while traveling and it was a horrible experience. Sounds like food poisoning which I got once and was in bed in our travel trailer for 3 days. You are exhausted and need to slow down. I have been watching your previous videos and since I have better skills now I have really enjoyed revisiting them. Sending you lots of love and a giant hug! I love the circle idea. It really enhances any tag or just a decoration. Great idea for any style journal💝😻Me and my cat Leo hang out together while I craft. He sends a cat kiss
I really love your tassle. And that you all are doing better. It's hard being so far from home and sick please take the time you need to get better. We love your videos and even if it is once a week video we will be here with you no pressure. Have a blessed day❤
Thanks for sharing your journey. I believe that God has a plan for each of our journeys it may be that someone else needs to know they are not struggling by themselves. The tassel is beautiful!
Sending love and prayers ❤ please never apologize for taking time away and time to heal. You need time Melina all of you do. I am so glad you got a restart, a horrible experience turning into a blessing in disguise. Ive been bed ridden since last October. I thought it was the biggest problem in the world, instead over time its turned into the most humbling and peaceful experience ever, I was forced to slow down and take stock of everything in my life and face all those who have passed and all my own inner issues. I am so grateful that you and your family made it thru and found strength to get thru everything. Sending love and prayers ❤ Also gorgeous creations today. We love you Melina. You and your family mean the world to all of us ❤
I am glad you were able to share. I like your tassel idea. I never thought about using it in my Bible. I do like them on journals. Little charms added on a couple trims would be neat too.
I am so sorry that you and your family were sick on your vacation, but happy you all are doing better!!! I love the tassle that you made! It is beautiful!! Thank you for designing a beautiful kit for this new collaboration!, also!!!
Love the dangle. Take time out for yourself and your family. God has your back. He will never give you more than you can handle. He knows your heart. Thank you for sharing your craft and your story.
Hi Melina! Thank you for sharing! I love your tassel! It's such a great idea and so pretty! Taking a break is usually so important because creating all the time can be really draining, even when we love what we are doing. And it's totally understandable after what you have gone through with everyone so sick. May the Lord keep blessing you and your family.
Melina, beautiful project!❤ I am so sorry you and your family went through this horrible time in your life! Please take care of yourself. I love watching your videos! No fast forwarding needed!❤
Melina, So sorry you and your family have been so sick and just know I am so happy whenever you are able to post. No guilt, you are so just talented and so fun to watch that I look forward to anything you post. Love the tassel!
My heartfelt compassion for you all with this violent sickness!!! ❤️❤️❤️🙏 I also feel so sorry for Bethany as you went to this resort to celebrate her College graduation!!! My love goes to her and you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️ This tassel is Absolutely gorgeous ❤️❤️
So sorry your sweet family got so I’ll but grateful that you’re better and back with us. Take your time to heal completely and we will be here for you. Love the tassel idea for the Bible and will be making one for mine. Love and hugs.
Oh my heart goes out to you and your family ❤. It’s okay to rest. It’s okay to take the time you need to refresh yourself and your family to refresh also . We’ve all been there and understand. This tummy virus went through our family at Easter! It hit all of us and eclipsed over a 8 day period. So I am so sorry you all had to go through this! I want you to know that everyday since I lost my husband in October of 2022 I listen to your family sing “On the Other Side”. Your family brings me such comfort. I pray that God brings you peace and comfort as you have brought me. “Hold on my child, joy comes in the morning “. Love you all. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am so sorry Melina that all your family and you have been so sick and glad you are coming through the other side. Your tassel tangle is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing! 💜
Bless your heart!! I was tearing up listening to you! I’m glad you are all feeling better. Burn out mode is horrible! I’ve been there! Sending you prayers!
Nothing worse as a mother is to have a sick child that you cannot help. You had me bawling Melina. I pray you are all recovered. Your dangles are so beautifully done. Thank you for your ideas.
Melina, my heart goes out to you and your family. I know when we can't take care of a loved one it's undescribable. Post whenever you can. Take care of you. Prayers and blessings 🙏💕
So sorry to hear that you were all so poorly on the vacation that you really needed - you need another one now to get over it! Thank you for sharing this tassel - I love it. Jill
Such a lovely tassel! I’m so sorry you and your family got sick during your much anticipated vacation. I can just imagine the disappointment and helplessness you must have felt! I grew up as a preacher’s kid, and family vacations were few and far between. I’m grateful y’all are better, but I’m sure you’ll need some time to fully recover physically and mentally. Take your time! God and family come first! Honor Him in all you do 🤗🥰.
Melina I’m so sorry you and your family got sick on your vacation. God will Bless you and you’ll be fine because He will fortified you. Take care. Love your Bible dangle. Than you!!!😉🙏🙏🙏
I feel so much compassion for you and your family. My family and I went to Disneyland and we all got sick. I know exactly how you were feeling. Your creativity will return. Give yourself self some time and grace to rest and recover. Remember that God never said He would not give us more than we can handle. He just promised to be there when He did. Sending you prayers and love!
Hi Melina, I’m so sorry that you and your family had such a horrible time on your much needed holiday break. I hope that you will soon be back in the craft driving seat real soon. Take time to recover resting in the knowledge that God is faithful and will restore you. Thank you so much for being Rachel’s guest designer for this collab along with your wonderful Mum. Love and God bless Bella 🙏🙏
As much as I love your videos, your family and ministry are the most important. When you feel like making a video, I will be watching. Prayers with you!
Melina, My husband and I caught the "cruise ship virus" that the sailors brought into a crafting event. We were so sick sharing a bathroom. My husband drove us to the ER in that town. We ended up in the hospital from dehydration and flu virus. It was awful. I feel for you, my friend. ❤❤❤
Hello Melina, thank you so much for your beautiful digitals. I really enjoyed working with them. I’m sorry to hear about the health struggles of your family. I went through some challenges myself and also took time off from social media for months. It was great that Rachel invited me to join this collab and I found my passion back. Your work is wonderful and I enjoyed this video. Big hugs 🥰
I am watching journal videos because it is so relaxing as I went on a vacation 2 weeks ago and ended up with some intestinal virus that kept me in my room for the remainder of the trip, I was alone and it was horrible and I, too, am surprised at the affect it has had on me. I totally understand how you are feeling. Thanks for sharing as this is helping me to heal. Please take care and take all the time you need! Love your work!🌺🙏🏼
Loved this tassel beautiful // I am sorry you and your family was sick on your vacation/I live about 1 hour and 45 minutes from Dollywood we go to Pigeon Forge the scrapbook store :)mainly to shop especially the scrapbook store :)
You are brave to share these struggles! We all go through tough times! Your family and your life is more important than making videos. Those that follow you faithfully will continue when you are back on a regular schedule! So grateful you guys are healthy again!! 😢❤
Melina, your mom let us know that you were all sick. We have been praying for your health to return and I’m so glad that you all are on the mend. Praise God that He took care of you all when you couldn’t take care of yourselves. Right now you all need to rest and recover. If you feel like you have bitten off more than you can chew, just step back, and pray about it. You may need to give something up or greatly modify your plans in order to keep yourself healthy. You can’t keep giving of yourself if you don’t take care of yourself first. Love you and may God bless you in the coming days.
Hi Melina! I’m a brand new subscriber. I’m new at junk journaling. I’m so sorry you and your family got so sick on your vacation. That has also happened to me. It sounds like food poisoning. I love your channel and your mom’s too. I love the dangle! I pray I can get good at junk journaling and maybe can have a channel. We are working on a craft room for me. I’m very excited! You are such an inspiration. Give yourself grace and some time to rest. I will be praying for you. Sending lots of love and prayers from Alabama! Hugs!🫂 ❤✝️💓🙏🏻🌸🌷🩷✝️🙏🏻
I understand creativity burn out. I worked at a craft store for 16 years and we had a Friday card once a week along with the other card classes we taught during the month. At the end, before I quit, I felt like I was torturing my brain to try to think of new ideas. I went into a different occupation and It took me 3 years to want to create again and to actually have creative ideas come into my head once again. That is why I love your collage ideas. I don't have to 'design'. I still make cards, but only for birthdays for family and friends that don't throw them away.
I'm so sorry you all were so sick on vacation, how horrible! I love this dangle. Please don't stress over videos, we're here when you are able to do a video. Hugs❤
Hopefully you feel better soon💖💖🤗🤗🙏🙏…. Wishing you all a speedy recovery…. Take time to relax & feel better💖💖…. We’re here waiting for your inspiring videos💖💖👏👏
Hi Melina, so sorry 9n how your vacation went. No worries, Love you all for being who you are, God's blessings to all your family. You're are a blessing to all of us. Don't worry abouts your tears, it's okay, we are do when things get tough and the Lord says you ll be fine, he's there with you all. Now, this project is fantastic, you do what works for you and your family. I have enjoyed your videos and don't ever feel you need to do more than you can. Thank you for sharing. God bless 🙌
Sending you so much love. I am so glad you are taking the time you need to recover and find the joy in making videos rather than pushing yourself to do something that doesn't feel right.
Dear Melina - You're so loved by us all. I felt so awful hearing your story - and I'm glad you told us. You need these vacations - and not tucked into a ministry week either - I know about that - I mean a good space of days of fun and change. So it's just horrible that you all were so ill. We'd rather you told us than not. We can pray with for you all with this knowledge. I'm praying for you 4 (or more! 😁) that God will gift you with a replacement even more fun plan and time away. Love to you heart. Don't beat yourself up - k? I know about that, too. 😜🥰😘
Dear Melina, your work is beautiful and so is your family. Hang in there dear, your creativity will return 🥰 Love this tassel and digital kit.

My dear Melina my husband and I have both experienced sickness while traveling and it was a horrible experience.
