- I hope this helps explain and define the A to Z Christmas video I created using the letter M. In that video I showed a new (or new to me) idea I had to minimize the need for sewing in signatures, yet gaining the benefit of multiple pages with a flexible spine and expansion opportunities. At the end of the video I share what’s coming up next, some December Daily junk journal opportunities (@TracieFoxCreative , @CameliaCraftsDesigns)
Oh dear, I’m so sorry you’ve had health issues lately. I hear crafting is good for healing 😀. Take care and thank you for all you do. 😘
I’m on that team too. Crafting is also hugely helpful with the crankies 🤣 I appreciate the kind words and positive thoughts ❤
I love this idea on creating a signature for a journal along with how you can add extra pages to your journal if needed. I cringed when you mentioned the injury to your leg due to the piano. Healing thoughts and the hope for no surgery. Makes these videos more special knowing you were probably in pain while making them. Bless you for being a teacher in this day and age. Looking forward to the next video whenever you are able to film, edit and post.
Thank you Debbie. Surprisingly, sitting in my office chair is the most comfortable position/spot and puts the least amount of pressure on my swollen leg and knee. I appreciate your kind words and positive thoughts ❤
Oh Cori! Take good care of yourself. I knocked a stack of cabinet doors over on one of my legs and 3 months later it’s just finally healing. A crush injury is serious. You’re in my prayers.
My Grandma Horning’s Spritz cookie recipe:
1 lb butter room temp
1 1/4 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
4 cups flour (with 1/2 tsp of baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt mixed into it)
1 tsp vanilla
Cream butter n sugar together - add vanilla n egg yolks, mix in flour gradually. Chill dough about 45-60 mins in refrigerator, then pack by batches into your spritzer and spritz the cookies onto cool ungreased cookie sheets. Decorate with colored sugars n sprinkles. Bake in 375 degr oven 5-10 minutes until lightly browned on edges.
Thank you very, very much Amy ❤truth: I love you for sharing the recipe and I’ll certainly copy it down and keep it. However, if you’d be interested or inclined to write it out in your own writing (on a recipe card, an index card, notepaper, whatever you have) I would be beyond thrilled. But, only if that’s convenient for you. Please remind me of your favorite theme/color(s) preferences as I’ve had an idea 😊
@@CoriDahmen will be glad to write it out and mail it to you - I like muted blues/greys/tan
I will keep you in my prayers, recovering from being I’ll is hard enough but getting injured is just awful. I really enjoyed this video it is just brilliant. Thanks for sharing and stay safe🌴💕
Thank you Annette. Your kindness does my heart good ❤
Oh Cori! You have had a rough month or so! So glad to hear that you have recovered from pneumonia. But so sorry to hear about your leg. Wow! You are so inspiring. You’re so organized (and detailed oriented), creative (and create daily!), charitable (doing very meaningful fundraisers), brave (taking on large and challenging projects), all while holding down a full time job and running a CZcams channel! It’s exhausting just to type all that out. Add pneumonia and crushing your leg to that, well, it just doesn’t seem like either would fit in your schedule! As always, I appreciate you sharing your talents and giving us wonderful inspirations. Hope you heal quickly and enjoy all the fun outings you have planned. 🤗❤️Tamara
Tamara, thank you very much for making me smile. Your kindness is deeply appreciated and makes me more happy to share. Bless you ❤
Thank you for this detailed video about how you do your journal signatures. Sorry to hear that you have been having so many health issues. Praying for your swift and complete recovery. And looking forward to your participation with Tracies Advent Tags. ❤
Thank you Robin ❤ I’m
A person who loves options, so I’m always on the lookout for new and different ways to create things ❤
Take away on technique: the template for holes!!! Genius. Have I slept under a rock🥴👀🫣 that I missed this???
I’ve had pneumonia since October 15th and today, Sunday after Thanksgiving, last of antibiotics. 😷 3visits to ER and just binge watching to catch up and plan for when I’m better. Hope you get good news from your surgeon and you heal quickly 🥴🥰
I, also am blaming Gayle’s new room arrangements on my sore body😂🥴
It will be Valentines Day before I’m even close to being sufficiently comfortable 😉😎. But I’m moving my desk out of the den into my craft room, perpendicular to the window, thank you Gayle, and painting it white when no one is looking 🫣👀😎. Chairs on both sides!!! A grandchild can play opposite me when 🎉😊😍comes for glue and painting at Mimi’s house 😊!!! I have two bookcases and a sewing armoire and a huge TV armoire that I’m repurposing to hold clear dollar tree bins full of supplies. Shopping my house and finding “homes” and “nests” for everything. A place for everything. Yes, it’s a Gayle thang😊
I’m sorry to hear you’ve been so ill, but hoping the healing picks up it’s pace now. Your new creative space sounds delightful and I’d love to your progress and/or finished product. Hmmmm. Wonder if there is a Creating Your Craft Space FB group???
@@CoriDahmen would we call it BLAME IT ON CARI THE CRAFTER & GAYLE??? It’s a rabbit hole seeing everyone’s craft room tour! Just as I have hammer & saw in hand I see another snazzy DIY and need a trip to Lowes or my own wood pile. Hands off the welder! But I think us girls with our own tools beat ikea sand boxes anyway.
Antique store & grannies attic finds make for more heritage creation stations IMHO
Great construction. Thank you for showing how to do this.
You’re so welcome ❤
🙋🏼♀️Cori

Oh my goodness Cori!!! I hope you won’t need surgery! Hope you aren’t in too much pain. Heal quickly!
Thank you Cathy. 9 days later the pain is still freaking annoying and debilitating, but I’m hopeful that healing will take place without surgery ❤
Esther’s Spritz Cookies
3 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large egg yolks
3 3/4 cups sifted flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon pure vanilla OR orange extract (I use orange)
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, flour, salt, extract of choice, and orange zest.
Mix well.
Fill cookie press and place on cookies sheets.
Do not over fill cookie sheets.
Bake 7 - 10 minutes.
Lightly brown.
If edges get too much color, cookies are over baked.
Chill dough as you work if it becomes too soft.
Thank you Esther (and Dawn). That looks delightful!

So very sorry to hear about your leg injury🙁. However it is a great idea for a STEM activity!! Stay well and safe!!
Thank you Jama ❤
Great video Cori, but omg! You have had such a rough time! I'm so sorry you had that accident witht he piano! And that virus! I had that virus and it kicked my butt! It took 10 days of antibiodics and 4 weeks of laying low, so please, please rest and take care of yourself! Hugs and prayers my friend!
Thank you Nancy and yikes! I’m very happy to hear that you’re better. The doc suggested the virus could be one reason I’m not healing like I should be, so we will see. I hope you keep getting better and that you take care so you can enjoy this delightful season ❤
LOVE every idea you have! Cookies :-D x
Love YOU and the fabulous way you corrupt, errr, inspire us all. You are the best TDRF ❤
Thanks, Cori! Always enjoy your videos.
Thank you Bobbie ❤
Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear about your leg. What a bummer! I have some of that same bad luck following me around this month too! Sending you so healing good vibes! Hope you don’t need surgery. Thanks for sharing all these great ideas and plans.
Thank you Jamie and I hope your run of challenges ends soon!
That must have been a scary and painful moment when you fell! Hope you don’t need surgery! Thanks for a great informative video.
Thank you Linda. I’m really hopeful for healing without surgery too!
I'm so sorry to hear about your illnesses and the accident with the piano! I hope everything is ok with your leg! Please let us know what the doctor says about it.
It sounds like it'll be awhile before you'll be able to get back to finish this project, but I'll be watching for it.
God bless you and get well soon!
Thank you for the kind thoughts and the get well wishes. I’ll keep you all posted ❤
@@CoriDahmen Thank you, and God bless you! 😊❤️
More wonderful extensions ideas for your December Daily journal, Cori. Thank you! Prayers for quick, successful healing of your leg, my friend! Our very old pianola is so heavy it’s difficult to move at all, so I am sure your leg bore the brunt of extreme weight crushing it! 😲😢 You have really been in the wars over the last weeks. Your new revamped craft space will bring you happiness and excitement when you’re able to complete it. If I lived a “little” closer I would be there to help you. Alas! The “little” distance is a huge factor! 😃 Love and big hugs to you! Take care! 😀💞
Awwww Keryn. Come on over! I’d adore the chance to visit and work with you, learning from your ideas and preferences. Thank you for your kindness ❤
I'm so sorry you were injured while dismantling the piano. I hope you heal quickly without surgery. I understand you won't be doing tutorial videos when you are without a craft room but I hope you will come on to tell us what your doctor said and then keep us posted on how you are healing and eventually how the new craft room is coming. Take your time and heal just know your subbies will be here when you return. Thank you for being such an inspiration in this field but even more importantly in life! You are an amazing woman! TFS! Season's greetings. Prayers and hugs from South Dakota 🤗 🙏
Thank you Geri. I’ll definitely keep y’all updated as I learn more and your kindness and well wishes mean a lot ❤
I'm so sorry about your injury! I sure hope you get good news from the doctor. I'm wondering if you have ever tried Working Hands for your cracked finger tips. My husband gets dry skin like that especially in the winter and it really helps.
Thank you for the suggestion Pamela! I’ve not tried working hands, yet. But I definitely will! I appreciate your kindness and well wishes ❤
Thank you for sharing on to make a journal with flexible pages! You are so talented! Hope everything goes well when you see your doctor, please take care & have a wonderful day!🤗💕💜🌻🙏
Thank you so much ❤
@@CoriDahmen 💜🌻
I love all your pieces and projects! I own a few but always put them in my own journal never in one I make for someone else.😜 Especially love my new advent calendar it is so special. Hoping you make a full recovery without the need for surgery.
Thank you Nancy and I’m so pleased to hear that you’re happy with your Advent Calendar ❤
Sweet Cori LOVE the single signature tech!!! Very clever!! Will definitely experiment! Praying you have a speedy recovery and BLESS your heart for sharing your craftiness with your subbies!! You're a JOY! I too will be setting up a craft studio end of this month beginning of Jan. Happy to know you're working on yours too! Oh -bought the DD by Tracie and already created my own DD from file folder(super simple). Lastly Camelia has the best accent and adore her sense of humor and YES wicked talented! Learned ab her through you :) TFS!! Look fwd t more of your tute's too!!
Isn’t she just delightful? I adore her, and I admire her individuality. Her craft space is about 6” x 6”, so she is a saint! Plus, she totally owns her disorganization. I wish I could come help you move, create and organize your new craft space. Thank you ❤
@@CoriDahmen She is! WOW! Didn't know it's that space, bless her HEART!! I'm a messy creator too and LOVE-it! Oh my GOSH!! If we lived closer, I'd make some soup for ya! Praying you have good news tomorrow! God is GOOD! Oh dear, we'd have a wicked blast if you could help -with my new crafty-nook! Been checking out pinterest for ideas! It'll be fun!
Great Cori. My package of ephemera made it safely to Scotland yesterday. Really pleased with everything, thank you. 😊 Sending wishes for a full recovery for your leg. xx
Debbie, thank you very much for letting me know. I’m thrilled to hear that you’re pleased with the items I included, and glad that it arrived in a timely manner ❤
Spritz, delicious. Oh, no, so sorry to hear about the piano accident. Hoping for positive news from docs. Thanks for the details on this type of journal. I'll be anxious to see how flat it opens, too.
Thank you Jeanne and I’ll keep you posted about how well the journal meets my goals and success criteria ❤
@@CoriDahmen Sounds good. Meant to say good luck with the new craft space!
@@JeanneJordanexteach would you please send me a message via FB or send me an email to cdscrappin@aol.com? Thank you!
Sending healing your way! Thank you so much for expanding on this wonderful concept and teaching it so well. Your Christmas DD was a chunky monkey, such a cute cover. Hope you feel better soon. Maybe you could give us a peak into the construction of your new craft room. Watching your woodworking skills inspires me to create more. Thank you for sharing. Hope you enjoyed your turkey and have fun with the pre Christmas season.
Thank you for the kind wishes and sure. I can give an advance, in progress glimpse. My leg didn’t allow me to work on my room the last few days, nor was I able to make the other videos, so that’s on tap for tomorrow, if my leg cooperates 😊
@@CoriDahmen heal first we can wait on the the videos.
TFS this method of constructing a journal. I am super interested in see the end result. Super curious about the next sew journals too.
So sorry to hear about your accident. I hope your doctors appointment goes well.
Have fun at the Harry Potter store! I am Ravenclaw too 😊
I’m not too far from Lancaster. You will enjoy it. It’s been awhile since I’ve been but there is definitely a lot to do and see there.
Hi sweet Cori. I'm so sorry to hear about your leg! Good grief! Your voice still doesn't sound like you have recovered. Teaching takes a toll on your voice as I'm sure you already know. Hopefully, you won't need surgery!!! Can't even imagine how much that hurt and still hurts. As always, loved your video!!! Thank you for your inspiration! It's such a joy watching your turorials!!! If you have time when you're in Lancaster, could I take you and your sister to lunch? Take care!
Thank you Lisa and if you have any ideas or suggestions about things to do and places to see, that would be fabulous ❤
Great explanation ❤
Glad it was helpful!❤
Great tips XXX
Thank you Lorna. My room is *this* close to being done, my stitches come out tomorrow and then, then I can make again! I hope...
You have definitely had a rough go of it! Hope you stay well & heal quickly.
What size & where did you find the plastic envelopes with the Velcro closures that you store your bits in for the December project?
Thank you and I got them on Amazon. They are 5” x 7”.

Gryffindor here! I received and love the items in the Fundle. I love this idea of the three sections in one signature. You sure are one busy woman! Did you make your own cradle board? I LOVE it. If you ever sell something like that on your Etsy, I'd scoop it up. I hope the leg heals quickly.
I would also purchase a cradle. Your woodworking skills are exceptional.
Thank you both. I’m going to have leftover plywood at the end of my room furniture makes, so I’ll give it a try and see what I can do ❤
PS, I love Gryffindor House, and Hufflepuff too. I have a tough time getting behind Snake House, but I respect that some do ❤
Sweet Cori, sounds like you’ve had the lick (as they say in my neck of the woods.) Praying for a full and minimally invasive recovery. Please keep us posted, I will be praying daily until I hear the need has passed):. I love this method for creating a journal, and can’t wait to try it. I bought Tracie’s Advent kit, Compendium, flash cards, etc, etc. and have lots of cutting to do. Did you print yours on the Neenah again? I have a laser printer and haven’t a clue what paper is best. Thanks for another great video. I was happy to see it was a longer one. Hugs and prayers from Ky.
My printer is a fairly basic ink jet, so I don’t know how the Neenah will work with a laser jet, but my instinct says it would work well. It’s smooth without being non-ink-friendly smooth, a good amount of heavy weight and prints nicely with ink. I’d love to hear if it works well for you because I’m hoping the 2023 budget includes a laser printer. Thank you for your kindness and good wishes. They are appreciated ❤
Argh! I just bought and downloaded Dec 2021 daily! I know you are collaborating...I know I can just be creative, but if you suggested I buy anything in particular for 2022, which would I get??? (Traci Fox's kit) Please advise!
I just went ahead and ordered it! You can never have enough!
Oh man, that’s tough! I really like it all! The flash cards are perfect to tuck in pockets and tucks for journaling spots and the small word bits add charm to any paper project. The 2021 kit is also fabulous, and since you just got it, I’d consider adding either the word strips or the flash cards, depending on which better suit your style ❤
