Thank you, my first time seeing you. I have follow many of your vlogs, tutorial. You have wonderful ideas and you inspire me. When I have listen to one of your podcasts I would wonder where you were and what you looked like. I love all crafts. I apologize for anyone who has written a negative comment. I think it like little girls prank calling ,it’s a naughty anonymous. Looking forward to
S
Ewing you again
I just loved your video to get to know you better. I came across your tutorials when I first found out about Junk Journals, I) Iike that you call them Treasure Books
❤ this so much! 🤗
Also I love that you share your resources! I so appreciate that ♥️
I love your stories ❤❤❤❤
This, in my opinion, is the best video on CZcams about why artists and crafters do what they do. It was so life affirming for me and how I felt when I found this art/craft. It brought together all my life experiences in a small package that I can share with others. Thank you, Natasha, for putting this into words for us.
Thank you so much :) Thanks for watching!
I agree 💯 percent with you! What a great story she tells! Very inspiring to me, as well.
I don't think there is a single word I can add to your video. You are so spot on and you have the gift of making connections with people. You are a genuine and honest person who loves to share her passion. I just discovered journal making and it has made a huge difference in my life. It has helped fill the void that was left after my husband died, and really made me discover something I love. I can't thank you enough for giving me some of your passion. Now what will I do with all the beads and pottery making supplies I have?🤣
Hi Natasha, I just saw this video it was so honest, raw and heart warming❤️ Thank you for letting us in and telling us a little of your past. Your a beautiful lady on the inside as well as the outside. I wish much success for your channel and for you and your family🙏❤️🤗👍

Thank you for your story. Just starting out with junk journal/treasure books. Love all your ideas and how you explain the process.
Despite this being two years old, I only discovered it today (2/9/22) and I have to tell you how incredibly moved I was by the entire video. I started crying when you told the story of the calendar and I had to pause to go get tissues. I sobbed over the diary that your mother gave you - what she wrote and mostly what you wrote at the end about your fear and your wish for the war to end. And I went to pieces over the doll your mother made and how she became your friend because you were lonely.
I cannot find the words to tell you how deeply you effected me and how your videos have done the same for me that your early mentors did for you. You inspire me with your art, your inner beauty and your “gift” for this beautiful world of paper and all the treasured books that you create with it!
Finally, Thank-You for sharing your story and how your deep passion for paper was born from a calendar that changed your world.
Aw Janie, thank you so much :) Thank you for watching
I completely agree with what Janie said. Janie you captured my feelings exactly.
@@piajara9616 Thank you, Pia. I was SO inspired by this video that I am currently working on a project to send 100 journals to the Ukrainian refugees, in the hopes that they might find their way into the hands of people who need a tiny moment of joy and beauty inside an inimaginable situation.
I just discovered her this year as well...today 8/27/22. I love that we are connected now.
I feel the same way and I'm crying too. ❤️ It's 22.9.2022. God bless you. I'm also crying for beauty of Natasha found purpose in sharing her art. I am watching her videos every day I'm mesmerized and this one is a special jewel.
In my opinion, you are so popular for several reasons. First, you have HEART! Second, you have TALENT. Third, you SHARE. Fourth, you are ORGANIZED. Fifth, you SPEAK well.
Thank you for all your informative videos. You are a treasure to the crafting world.
to say nothing about being absolutely gorgeous.
Natasa, I know this is an older video but I only recently discovered your channel and have been binge watching ever since! My heart goes out to you for all that you have been through and I’m so impressed with who you’ve become! The quote “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” comes to mind. I too have had my share of difficult times and also find papercrafting very therapeutic. Today would have been my firstborn son’s 30th birthday. He was born prematurely and tragically died at eight days old. This video was exactly what I needed to watch. To be reminded that we all go through scary, heartbreaking times in our lives. Thank you so much for sharing both your art and your heart. You, Natasa, are a treasure! 👍🏼👏🏼😍💎💕
I too have just discovered this and echo your sentiments about Natasha. I've been through a few heartbreaking times in my life but nothing as hard as losing a child, thank you for sharing your heart and know that you too are a brave soul and a survivor. I wish you well.
@@anjid9519 Thank you so much 💜💜💜
Girlfriend! Don't you dare think to yourself that you "shared too much" or "I should have said something else!" Your words, your story will minister to so many others. Your heart is so precious and your words like healing balm. You are a survivor! You're a beautiful wife, Mother... and Treasure Book Keeper. Thank you for being so transparent. You touched my heart. :)
Thank you so much! That means so much to me, to be able to connect this way with people from all around the globe. Thank you for your kind words.
@Cheryl McKenney Exactly!
Beautifully saId! Tfs 😘
Absolutely…💖💖💖
Natasha you are so beautiful inside snd out!
So real, FUNNY 😂🤣😂, honest, beautifully creative. Thank you for sharing yourself with us💖🌹
Natasha, I know this is an old video, but I wanted to say this: What Jenni Bellie did for you, that is exactly what you've done for me. You have been such an inspiration, a lightning my life. When I discovered your channel I felt like I had purpose again. After becoming a mom I stopped crafting and journaling and became only a mom. Now I have been on a journey of creativity and self-discovery. And I don't have all the fancy things, but you're exactly right, that is not what is important. So thank you. Thank you so much ❤️
Your beautiful story made me cry so hard for that sweet little 8-year-old I had to stop the video for a moment. This should be seen by all who don't appreciate the freedoms they have. Thank you for having the courage to tell it. I love your tutorials and the way you write out the steps for us to snap a picture of(I use my phone as my computer.)
Thank you so much Patricia!
Me too. Such an amazing story about redemption!
Very well said, Patricia ❤
I know this is old video but I just found it. I watch every one of yours I can find. Thank you for sharing your heart....brought tears. God really uses you to help others. You are always prepared with many projects and- supplies to make them. You speak so well. Love your hands, nails and rings! God bless you...I am 84 yrs old and still learning!
Dearest Natasha, You have changed my life. I am 65 and a retired nurse. This has been a painful 3 years in my life that has nothing to do with the pandemic. I came across you and your craft on CZcams. I have been junk journaling for 3 months now. It has given me peace, joy and a calming process. My first 2 journals that were not just
for practice, I sent to my son's girlfriend and she was so happy. I think you are a lovely person and mom. Please know you have kept me company and given me something to look forward to every day. Bless you dear girl. I have a long way to go, but that's ok. You are with me. Love
Oh thank you so much 🤗 I’m so glad you found passion and joy in junk journaling ❤️
Me too, her voice and nails scratching on a wrinkly page or cover. I feel she is right with me. I did not think she’d look so young. I relate to her. So I thought she was at least 50. I’m 61. A true old soul I guess. She’s getting me through an unsure of my future time. Love her
Natasha, By far, the best, most sincere, honest, heartfelt, and open response to the Ten Questions that I have seen!
Allowing us to get to know you by being brave enough to share your heart and soul brought tears to my eyes. More than once. It effected me deeply.
Six and a half years ago, my aging mother asked me to come home to help her. I sold my home which was in another state in the US, gave away most of my loved possessions, including my two cats because my father hated cats, and moved away from my two grown children. I had no idea what I had gotten myself into. It’s a long, ugly story that lasted three years. The short version is, I had to force my father, who was angry, mean, abusive, and violent into a home. Shortly after that, two years after moving into my parent’s home, my mother committed suicide. She was found floating in a kelp bed in the ocean. My father died 11 months later. It broke me.
I have sewed and done various crafting, but never anything with paper. I accidentally found JJ about a year ago and am obsessed. It is healing like you said. How you described treasure hunting for materials is how I feel too. It is addicting, but so much fun! Haha. I have only found you recently, love you, your work, and your step lists, and now will be binge watching.
You are quite lovely, inside and out. Thank you for sharing your story. You are an inspiration.
Your new groupie, 💖🦋😊
Oh wow Julie. What a heartbreaking story. My gosh. I am so sorry that you had to go through so much pain. Life can be so cruel, I am so sorry about your mum and the pain she must have felt to feel like suicide is the only way out. I can only imagine all the mixed emotions that you must be feeling about both your parents. I'm glad that you have also found some healing in this JJ world. When you say that what has happened has 'broken you' its just those puzzle pieces being scattered all around. Now you are on your healing journey putting yourself back together. Thank you so much for watching and for sharing some of your story too. Sending you big hugs.
Julie Keil I feel for you, having lost both my parents as well. Your story sounds like a great book. By telling your story, you strengthen your heart and create community. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m deeply sorry for all you went through what a sad sad story it really broke my heart. It’s so nice to be together in a group and unbelievable what people behind a screen may be living. You know, wherever I go to a cafe, store I treat people with a lot of respect and always have in mind, “people greet you with a smile or not at all, but only he/she know what they’re going through”. We go through so much pain we sometimes never get to understand why we just have to live through it and heal our soul. Hope your heart is feeling better after all these years. God Bless from Guatemala
Oh I'm so sorry for your loss and the heartache and pain you've suffered, I too have lost someone to suicide, my son 8 years ago and I got into knitting and crocheting, but I discovered junk journaling a few months ago and it's changed my life the comfort and pleasure I get from it is amazing and watching people like Natasha , thank you Natasha for your wonderful humanity ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Julie you are a strong and a brave and caring woman and my heart sends you all the good wishes and all the love you deserve. I am so happy that you are finding
healing through JJ. Kudos also to this lovely woman's channel and thanks to her for sharing her amazingly creative mind. She is a blessing for sure.❤️
Oh my dear, I understand where your sense of lack comes from. No person (child) should ever go through the horrors you experienced as a young child. Please, please know that you have an abundance of love in all of us watching and enjoying your so many talents. You are an inspiration to me. I've never thought I was enough to be creative. And you have taught me I can! I will be forever grateful to you. Much love from Colorado, USA.
How generous of you to share such intimate stories. As I watched I thought to myself, this girl HAS TO WRITE AND DESIGN HER OWN STORY BOOKS !!! Thank you so much for existing *** hugzzz from Montreal ***
This is the best video I have EVER watched on CZcams. Crafting is an emotion and it has a story. I thank you for honest answers and your passion to share your Treasure Books with us. ❤️❤️
WOW Eva, thank YOU!!!
Eva, I love your statement, "Crafting is an emotion and it has a story." I'd like to ask your permission to include it in a little note that I am currently wordsmithing about journaling to include in my hand-made journals. It's powerful. Thanks. karenagiannini@gmail.com
Eva McKenna absolutely 😒
ABSOLUTELY
👍 KNOW you are a true artist in the way God has brought you to this point of realizing YOU are a treasure, and have everything ❤️ ✨️ 💖 in your soul and Spirit to complete your own Book of Treasure through your journey in life. BECAUSE you LOVE ❤️, you are God's Treasure.. Keep writing and sharing your story.
I am also a long time lover of making "something out of nothing", even though at 76, I love to share and give away away all the Stuff I thought I needed for many years. I DECIDED to sit with all the paper and little things I love and do
I am 73 years old this October 20th and many times felt my life was made up of pieces but It had never been revealed to me that they were part of the puzzle that indeed makes up my life ... I love "treasure books" never to be called junque journals again ... You have helped me accept the parts of my past done to me not done by me and how they affected who I have become ... Thank you ... If I had the money I would come to Australlia to spend time with you ... Lolls Paloosa is one of my favorite CZcams channels ... I do her December daily every year and look forward to it very much ..,thank you girl on how God used you to reveal some reasons for happenings in my own life ... You are indeed a blessing!
Oh wow, thank you, this truly made me tear up. Thank you Pamela. I believe everything happens for a reason, and it is up to us to try and find a meaning, purpose and peace. And yes, those puzzle pieces do indeed make a life, a very important life and story :) Thank you for watching and commenting :)
❤️ I am 68. I had watched hours upon hours upon hours of journal crafting videos. Yours started me DOING instead of just watching. I have lost 18 important people in my life since 2017, had to relocate hundreds of miles away from my children and grandchildren, and I am becoming frail and am losing the ability to use my hands for fine functions along with my ability to see clearly. I had to find something creative to do that would center my mind again. Your calm voice and the rhythm of your hands struck something inside me at the beginning, but it was the way you explained sewing a zigzag stitch along the edge of a journal being made out of a windowed envelope, just catching one side of the paper, that turned on that light in me - I can do this! I had experience sewing - a lot - made things as complicated as wedding dresses and movie costumes. I had been to art school, won prizes. I had been to design school. But all that had gone dark. Your video, you, flipped that switch inside me back to “ON.” Thank you. My sincerest thank you.
Thank you for sharing your personal thoughts throughout your life. I am volunteer for Samaritans Purse/ Operation Christmas Child. We pack shoeboxes filled with toys and gifts for children in need around the world. It all started because of the war in Bosnia. That was the begining of my packing them and making things for them. We recently celebrated 30 years of OCC. I thought of the children who recieve these boxes while I was listning to your story. It sure helped me to see that we should do all we can to help children in all countries to find their purpose with the gifts of a simple shoe box filled with toys, toothbrush, soap and washcloth. Last year we packed almost 12 million boxes. I pray that many children like you will be inspired by something they find in one of the shoeboxes. I love watching you, you inspire me. May God's face shine on you.
Amen. Bless this beautiful soul!
Thank you, Natasa, for opening up the "treasure book" of your life and letting us hear your heartfelt and inspiring story. You've helped me understand why I am drawn to making journals so much. Taking bits and pieces from my life and those of my loved ones, and then putting them together with snippets that others have thrown away to create something lovely is wonderful. New life for things tossed away--beautiful. I just started making journals in the last few months after seeing you work with the collections from Cheaply Chic. I've started following Lynnette and buying her journals--which are perfect for a newbie. I really enjoy watching your videos and learning so much--not just about journaling, but about treasuring life. Keep on sharing your passion with the world...
Thank you so much Amy. I am so glad that you have found this world of junk journals and we can be on this journey together. Lynnette is so inspiring and her kits are indeed perfect for a newbie, as well as those who have been journaling and/or making journals for a while. Thank you for watching and commenting :)
Natasa, I’m so inspired by your story and your message, and can’t thank you enough for posting this video. I’ve felt your generous spirit coming through your tutorials, where you show so many incredibly creative ideas, and keep saying that we can use anything, and find supplies anywhere, using just our imagination. I’ve been so disconnected from art and myself for so long and watching you inspired me to try something small to reconnect. So, using an old crossword puzzle book, with a lovely wallpaper-like cover, I turned to the beginning and stuck in a magazine picture, added some tape, made some doodles, highlighted some of the puzzle, glued in a bit of a pretty card and voila! I made my first treasure page! As a child, I never thought twice about my connection to my creativity- it just flowed, but my life experiences and mental health had made that almost impossible to access. Every kind of art has felt like it would take too much time and energy than I have to give. I know I’ve not made a whole journal, but youve shown me that it’s a craft that can be as big or small as I need it to be, and it’s had the bonus of giving me good feelings even when I only have time or energy to look at it, rather than create! I’m hooked and have just created my 20th page!!! You have inspired me in a way that has changed my world, making me an “artist” again with just a change of perspective! And for that I am truly grateful. Hugs from one Natasha to another ♥️✂️🔖🖇
Wow. Just WOW! You made this video four years ago and now I know why I love your channel so much. You are authentic. I love authentic people. Your authenticity and your sweet heart come through in your art. And, like just about everybody here, I cried! Thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing your story with us.
Wow! I just saw that this was made in 2019. I only started watching your channel a few weeks ago, but love everything I've seen. I'm 78 years old and it takes a lot to make me cry, but when you showed the journal your mother had given you, and talked about it, I definitely needed a tissue! I was also happy to hear you say you loved hearing people's stories. My "puzzle coming together" time was when I discovered I could help people write their life stories. I was a personal historian for many years, and always felt gratified whenever I finished a book for a client. Especially because their family was so grateful to have that written history of their loved one. You are an amazing woman with an incredible story. I'm very happy to have found your channel and I'm glad to "know" you!
Oh my, I wish so much i could meet you in person. You and one other person here on CZcams are the ones I receive notifications from. I love your simplicity and way of teaching. I grew up very poor, so everything in our home had a dual purpose. Nothing was wasted. I'm on a very tight budget, so just about everything I'm using to make journals is coming from the Thrift Stores or sales at the craft store. I appreciate the fact that you don't use so many expensive kits and such to make beautiful journals.
Thank you so much for sharing from your heart. I'm so sorry you had to go through so much in life. Thank you for being you.
I would like to change the word junk for treasure.
Lol, I do have an accent! ((Hugs))
Thank you so much. I can see you understood exactly what I was talking about when I mentioned the 'lack mentality'. Growing up with not much tends to stick around, and its better for the environment to be conscious about over purchasing unnecessary things when we can make do with what we have!
Here it is 2021 and I have just recently found you!! I got 2 whole minutes into this video and you quietly saying, "There may be F words in here" just had me rolling! Gawd's but I do love you. I could watch your videos 24/7. You have inspired me to Journal like no one else and even before I hear more about you I can say, "You are PERFECT, just as you are". Thank you for doing what you do and sharing with us, your wonderful talent!! :-)
Ahh Jantea, thank you so much!!!! In fact, there definitely WERE F words in there :))))
"I had a piece of my mom with me all the time" the pencil case story....and the doll story....oh Natasa you just shared a great life lesson...no store bought item can replace the love a mother puts in everything she does for us! I lost my mom to COVID in March 2020 and she always knitted us sweaters, cooked us amazing meals, told us wonderful stories from her past... I miss her so much! Thank you for sharing.❤️
I lost my mother during the COVID in 2020, I was in Australia and she in the UK and I never got to see her, but she always when I was little made my clothes and as I got older she either made or sent me things, which I treasure too.
As horrible as the circumstances were, I am so thankful they led you to where you are. Your craft, transparency, your sense of humor and your beautiful accent give me so much joy and peace.
You are a TREASURE! Really enjoyed getting to know you. Your heartfelt honesty is endearing & I look forward to your videos.
Thank you so much!
I really don’t know what to say but a big “thank you “ for your honesty in this video. Your story was beautiful, just like your work. Laura💕
Thank you so much Laura
I just had to say how much I appreciated you doing this video.
It really touched my heart.
I love watching you on here, and I have learnt so much, I am a textile artist, but my love of making journals has taken me over. You're never to old to learn, I'm 76yrs of age, and your story was wonderful to hear, thankyou.
Oprah Winfrey used have a segment on her show called "Everyone has a Story" and your story is among the very best that I've heard. It truly touched my heart. When people expose their soul to share their passion, it is a gift to all of us. I was especially touched by the precious diary given to you by your mom when you were 8. The words she wrote brought tears to my eyes and the words you wrote on the last page about the start of the war in Sarajevo was heart breaking. How special you are to share, with all of us, your knowledge and love for paper. Thank you. Ps. One of the lasting gifts you will have for your children is this video and the history it contains. God bless.
I have a hoarding problem because I've had to start my life over many times. When you used things most would throw away you hooked me into watching all of your videos.
Thank you Amy, you get me.
Yes! Same! We had a house fire and I lost so much so now I keep everything.
I am the same! This is so much more than 'crafting' xx
Such a gift that you have given in sharing your history and your heart. You are beautiful inside and out ❤️
Thank you so much Jennifer!!
Wow, you touched my heart. Bravo to you for sharing your heartfelt thoughts and stories. Your strength and courage come shining through. You always come across very genuine and it is refreshing. I am knew to this junk journal world, but realize it is something I have been doing all my life, as well. Now, I know how I can put all my treasures together. I'm excited to learn more and see what I can create with all the items in have been storing. Thank you again!!💖
Wow, what an amazing story. I can relate to that. I was born in Armenia and in 1990's Armenia separated from Soviet Union and was under attack of Azerbaijan. We had no gas, no water, and 45 minutes of electricity a day. Water we will get ones a few weeks, we couldn't bathe properly and i had 2 small children. One 8 month old and another 2 years old. We lived like that for 3 years until finally escaping. I still have my doll that my dad bought me when I was 5 years old. I am like you, treasure all my stuff from the past and very frugal with my crafting and everything i make means a lot to me. I don't just make to make it. I think about the people and how it will make them feel. I love your channel very much. You are a great person. God Bless ❤
Natasha, you are an amazing inspiration. I hope you get to read this. I am a 74 year old Canadian woman, not long crafting, and have my own story which hardly compares to the life you have lived. I am so sorry for what you have had to live thru. However, it has made you the wonde4ful woman you are today. I am so inspired by you and have just discovered your videos. I am making as many ephemera as possible for making my own journals to pass to my own children and down to my 7 greats. Thank you for sharing your story with us and showing what one can do with less than nothing. I love you for your story, your courage and your caring. Please know that I'm forever your fan.
It's been over 2 years since you recorded this, but is still touching hearts. your story moves my heart! Thank you for sharing this glimpse into your soul.
I loved listening to your story, and I especially related to how much you appreciated the things your mother made for you. My mother made clothes for me all through elementary school and junior high. She always made three new dresses for me for the new school year, and I absolutely loved them so much. She taught me to sew when I was nine, and I’m still doing it decades later. I also love paper crafting and you have inspired me in many ways. Thank you!
Thank you so much Kathy. Those are the memories to treasure! I'm so glad you feel inspired :)
Today is 2/22/23 and I just discovered your channel a couple days ago. I only just discovered the junk journal craft world this month! I have hundreds of photos of family I've cherished over the years and tho like many of us have also suffered from childhood trauma. I feel now I have a way to process and keep my memories of the good I was given thru all of it into these books. I agree with you Natasha that creating the journals is a healing thing and that no matter where we have been and what battles we have fought there is still joy to be found. Thank you Natasha for your energy and guidance thru a most wonderful and natural healing process. 🙏 blessings galore for you!
You are changing the world. My grandparents immigrated to the US during WW2. My grandparents saw firsthand how war tore their home country apart. All my life I heard their stories of how their lives & others were torn apart & how they survived. It wasn't until I was older that I understood why my grandmother hoarded certain things & why my grandfather understood. War, escaping to survive brings about so many levels of emotions that for my grandmother, it transcended the practicality of that Depression era of using everything and not throwing anything away. She held onto and collected certain things "just in case" and as a coping mechanism from that period in her life. When they passed I was the first one my sister asked if I wanted to keep all of the Vintage birthday cards, invitations and other things my grandmother collected and kept. I still have them. Thank you for sharing your story and your incredible challenge. It is definitely your calling.
Oh wow how amazing and wonderful that you have kept grandparents birthday cards and bits and pieces :)
Natasa - can I just start off by saying: you are wonderful! Before I click on a video, I usually look at the video length - and I have the attention span of an unbuttered slice of toast, so anything over 15 minutes usually turns me off. Anyway, 40 minutes. But the crafty questions. I somehow *knew* that it would be worth watching this, not least because I was curious to *see* you. I also knew because it is like you say in the video: I certainly had already connected to you through all the previous videos I have watched - I love hearing your Australian accent, I am always amazed by your generosity of sharing your knowledge, and I simply like what you do and how you do it. I was also intrigued to find out whether my hunch that you may have started your life elsewhere, was correct. (The way you write your name was the giveaway for me.) Anyway - your video was so worth watching. Your approach to crafting as more than just "passing the time creatively", really resonates with me. I absolutely loved that you went "deep" - and that you didn't cut the emotional bits from your video. It shows your strength and is deeply inspiring. Your stories from your Bosnian childhood were not just touching, but for those of us who lived through the times (albeit in other countries), you gave an insight into what life really was like during that war - and how it affected you firstly as a child *at that moment*, and then as a refugee, an immigrant and now an adult in a new home country. You gave the abstract term "Balkan war" a face and a feeling, and that is precious. So thank you for sharing it with us.
I usually dislike overly sweet and familiar compliments in public - but I think you are very special, a wonderful person. And if I was living in Australia, I would love to know you personally. Keep crafting - keep sharing. I am sure the universe will reward you.
Scissors and Smiles, I am rather new to Natasha and her channel, but couldn’t agree with you more. 💖
Thank you so much for this WONDERFUL comment! I am the same about long videos, and I thought not many people would watch this video because of how long it it. Thank you! I can see that you know about that war. You know that Sarajevo is in Bosnia (not many people do). I was quite surprised that I did become emotional during filming as I thought that I have healed this pain. But it seems like these old hurts stay with us for a long, long time, if not forever. Thank you so much for all of your support, it means the world and I am truly grateful :)
@@TreasureBooks A comment is the least I can do to show you my appreciation of you and your generosity in sharing. xxx
I distinctly remember the (news about the) war; I was a young adult in Germany at the time, had just started university, and I remember buying a t-shirt in aid of Sarajevo University - helping students still receive education during and shortly after the war.
Anyway, without opening old wounds, but I believe war experiences must be traumatic - and stay forever, even if usually hidden. I am impressed but also glad to see that you told your story with such emotion but also strength. The way you told your story, was beautiful - with those two items, and the lost dolly, too.
Anyway, I'll leave it at that before I get even more soppy. Just know that your openness is much appreciated!
Scissors and Smiles I couldn’t agree with you more. I wish I had the gift of writing, God gifted me with so many others though.
Scissors and Smiles Just so you know, that's not an Australian accent. We drawl 😁
I am so glad you took the challenge and shared your life with us. I have loved your tutorials from the beginning. I had to have one of your journals. Now I treasure it even more because I have gotten to know you and some of the trials that you have gone through and the love of penning bits of life to the page. It has always been therapeutic for me and I can see it has been for you, too. Thank you for giving us a part of yourself today. I too have a love for paper and have way too much and came across the Journaling channel through Recipe Journals and found the Junk Journal world. I agree, they should be called Treasure books. I create recipe journals and prayer journals and share my journals with my church friends or others that need some love and encouragement. We all have stories to share. You have touched my heart today. Thank you
Thank you so much Madilyn. Thank you for all of your support. It's people like you that make this all worthwhile for me. Thank you. I am so happy that this craft has been therapeutic for you too, and that you are sharing with others who need love and encouragement. I'm sure that it means the world for them too. Thank you
I also do gratitude journals. There are blessings throughout our trials and it helps to look for one good thing each day to lift us as we suffer. It reminds us there is hope. ❤️
I had tears in my eyes a few times in your story. Quite the ride. I’m drawn to channels making things out of nothing. When I was much younger we couldn’t afford a Christmas tree. I gathered the discarded clippings (lower branches ) of neighbors’ trees. I tied them together to make my own tree, and put in an old coffee can with rocks and water. We didn’t have internet back then for craft ideas, but from my stash I made wallets and bags and such for family presents. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my goodness! I was so moved by this video. Yours is the only “junk” journal channel that I am subscribed to, for various reasons. I’m not particularly interested in making treasure books. I find your creations quite beautiful, but I admit that I don’t really understand them. Still, I really love watching you create them, and as a person whose creative journey began with drawing and painting, I know that art at its core does not have to have an especially practical purpose. It’s beautiful. That’s enough for it to be created and to exist and to be seen. I found your channel by way of a CZcams recommendation. It was the one about making rolled paper beads. I made paper beads when I was maybe twelve or fourteen. I’m 66 now, so it was a very long time ago. I remember how lovely my little rolled beads were, and how proud I was of them. (I went straight to Etsy and bought the tool that you showed in that video. The exact one!)
I didn’t experience lack or fear on the scale that you did, but we didn’t have a lot of money, and there was significant chaos and fear in my life, as well. My mom was also creative, always sewing and knitting and making sure that I had what I needed in that way. She was a teenager in Germany during Hitler’s time, so she lived with the sort of fear and lack that you did. She wanted to be a singer, but only “Hitler Youths” had those types of opportunities, and her father wouldn’t even allow a radio in their home, because only Hitler propaganda channels were allowed. I have the stories she told me of that time, and I have literally just two of her handwritten pages of that time in her life. I treasure them with my whole being, so it touched me deeply that you have a journal of your time as a child. That really is a treasure book. 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
I smiled, I cried, I LOVED this. Thank you for sharing your story. Your channel is already so addictive (total rabbit hole!), and this video is so lovely. Sending wonderful wishes and vibrations your way!
Thank you so much Lauri!!
I love you and your story!! Had me tearing eyed about your journal and pencil case, then the story of your doll. How beautiful and sweet you are. The reason I’m here is because I found your instructions to be very clear, you’re a perfectionist (care what edges look like etc) and are very creatively inspiring to me!! Love and light and happy crafting!! 🤗 hugs.
There are crafters, and then there are artisans. That's what I feel you were describing about how you discovered creating treasure books; and I see it in how intuitively you create your journals and how you explain the processes. I deeply appreciate how vulnerable and freely authentic you were in this video, and thank you for sharing your story with us.
You are a treasure. I just discovered this video and like so many have commented, it has to be the best video out there. So many are closed and dont want to share one bit about themselves. But you have shared your sadness, turmoil, memories and happiness with all of us. I have to say that yes, it is very therapeutic. I have journaled off & on for about 2 years. Before that I put together scrapbooks for my daughters during their school years up to graduation. At their graduation parties I had their books out for all to look through. Everyone loved them. They are now 36 & 32, have never been into crafts even though I have crafted my entire life (I recently turned 60! Thats a lot of crafting) and attempting to get them interested, no go. Until recently, they picked up junk journaling on their own. I am happy to say that we recently spent the day journaling together, putting together special pages. It was amazing! We had so much fun and made so many memories that day. I have shared so many of your ideas with them.
I just want to say you are amazing, such a caring, warm, special lady whom I admire for your strength. Thank you for being you. ❤
How lovely to "meet" you, Natasha. Thank you for sharing bits of your life experiences. Bless you.
Gosh, I have just discovered your channel, and now this! I feel privileged to read about this frightened little girl and her mother, who opened up this passion for this craft with a simple gift of a diary. I am trying this strange craft to hide from the mental cruelty of this pandemic, and will enjoy your tutorials, so thanks to you (and your mom)
Thank you so much Steve :)
I'm a paper hoarder myself. I have enough paper, envelopes, greeting cards, journals, lined paper, boxes of stationary to last 4 lifetimes. As a child I only had paper that my grandma gave me that she got from the grocery store. Sometimes I only had paper sacks for drawing. Now I can buy as much paper as I want, but I still have collected drawers full of it. I can relate to much of what you said, and I appreciate you sharing yourself with us. I found you through Noit Art. She shared you with her followers and she told us about you & making faux handmade paper that she learned from watching you. Best wishes to you. I have enjoying meeting you.
I wasn't prepared to cry at one of these "Get to know the crafter" videos. I love the depth of the answers and the sincerity. Thank you for sharing so much of your story with us!
I love this, they are "treasure books" and your vulnerability is inspiring!
Your 'Get To Know Me' video is the best one I've watched. I really enjoy these. It's so nice to get to know the hands and voice behind the camera. You are such a beautiful person. And don't you think for a minute that you are not super talented. I've watched so many of your videos and have been so inspired and learned so many things. I think the one thing I do like about your videos is the fact that you do keep it simple by not using a ton of gadgets. You are so right that we can make beautiful treasures out of simple supplies. Thank you so much for sharing your heart and your stories that made me cry along with you.
Thank you so much Melissa! When I started this journey, I found I felt discouraged when crafters used a lot of gadgets that I felt I now HAVE to have. Simple is the best way in my eyes. Thank you so much for watching and commenting :)
Dear Natasa, I am relatively new to journaling and you inspire me since the first video I watched from you. I have learnt so much from you since I started, and that's not just about crafting. I'm writing from Germany and when I saw this video (today is the 6th of April 2024!), I could only think that Europe lost a treasure when you moved to Australia! It makes me really happy to see that your life has become what it is and I wish you all the best for the future - and keep sharing your ideas with us. This is a real treasure!!❤
Natasha, this was a Beautiful video. Your willingness to share so openly the journey of your life - the pain of the little 8 year old who was wise beyond her years, she knew love and value and she reached inside herself and found a way to grow and work through the turmoil of her life via words and journaling. It's as if you want to share with whomever will listen the joy of personal growth you have achieved with journaling and you do this by creating stunning, attractive artwork for us to make to add to our journals that entices us to open up the pages and write. I have been an artistic person all of my life, mainly sewing. I make clothing, things for the home and now I've turned into a quilter. During the pandemic I discovered CZcams which has put me in touch with wonderful people like yourself. We span the globe in physical location but it seems like you are just nextdoor! I live in Chelsea, Alabama USA and the date I watched your video and responded is May 23, 2023. I'm 72 years young and just recently went down the "rabbit hole" of making Treasure Books. My granddaughter loves journals so I'm making her a Treasure Book for her birthday. I hope you don't mind me adopting your name of Treasure Books which I hope the journal I make for my granddaughter will turn into for her. I have been watching your videos for several months now and I've found a couple of folks you would probably enjoy too, they are Ceri Griffith from Wales and Barb Owen from Missouri USA. Both are extremely creative with paper that we would use to chop up and make covered paperclips or something! I will continue to watch your videos and I would love to hear back from you if you're so inclined. My email is mdmonti@bellsouth.net if you want to reach out. It is probably improper to list my email but what the heck! I hope you will receive this comment even though it was made a couple of years after your video and I apologize for it's length. Happy creating! Melanie
Your story really touched my heart. Thank you so much for sharing such tender moments and emotions with us.
Natasha, I randomly found one of your videos prior to this one and your “Get to know me” popped up so I clicked on it. Now I’m here at midnight 😂 in tears but so inspired by your beautiful stories. Your “Treasure Books” run so deep 💗
Oh thank you so much :)
I do not remember which channel
, but I began my adventure in crafting journals at the time covid was first upon us. When I got sick, my craft room was an enjoyable retreat where my mind would be relieved of illness. So, today, I continue to develop this "treasured" craft. Thank you, Natasha for inspiration.
So, you started crafting 9 years ago (this video is already 3 years old.) When you talk about Jenny Belly, I can totally relate, because that's what has happened for me with your videos! My eyes have been opened as I see all of your videos. I am so inspired by you and am in awe of your talent! Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your ideas and self so freely.
How wonderful to be sitting on my recliner in Ontario, California and not only listening to the story of someone in another country but to also be able to see you. It is for reasons like this that I love the internet. Our mutual passion for paper crafting bonds us all together. I've never heard anyone talk of Croatia. I don't know about the country and the unrest that has happened. I am glad for you that your life is so different now. I appreciate your transparency and willingness to share with us a small piece of your. ♥️
Thank you so much! I totally agree about the internet. Thank you for your kind words :)
There appears to be red thread on that sewing machine. 😆😉🤣😉
Oh haha Pam, this cracked me up!! Yes. Red thread hahahahahah. I'm working on some Xmas journals, thats why!
Pam Pensiero LoL I saw that too, not a fan of red either! Except for Christmas and Valentines Day.
I spotted that too, and laughed, mostly because RED is my favorite color! Pink and teal and lavender have gained much ground though! @treasurebooks
And a dark red and gold fan hanging above that red thread! :-) I loved your video. A sharing of heart and soul and mind. Beautiful! Thank you so very much! :-) I've watched you only for a few days. I've never created anything with paper crafts except for a little scrapbooking, but you'be certainly fascinated me! I enjoy just watching even if I will probably never make a journal at all, though I have to say your beautiful creations are definitely enticing!. Thank you for sharing your story and your love of paper with us. :)
I am 80 years old this year. My family backgrounds are Czechoslovakia and England basically. Both my fathers parents emigrated here. He and his siblings were first born in this country. I have just recently learned about junk journaling only months ago. After A lifetime of sewing knitting crocheting an scrapbooking, I have decided to make a journal to leave all the stories of those who came before that no one remembers or knows now. I want to take the final years of my life to make a journal with hidden places to share those stories with those of my descendants who care to be able to find. I so agree with your philosophy and and I enjoy your videos. You create such beauty. I feel very connected to your spirit. I look for your videos because I learn so much. I now that I was meant to find you.
Thank you !! What a wonderful idea, beautiful :)
You ARE changing the world!! You share your talent with all of us, and we are all influenced by it and influencing others, even on a small scale. You have a baby who knows what a "treasure book" is! I don't know how many children you have, but they are all influenced by you and your experiences and who knows what amazing things they will do and the influence they will have? That's changing the world, and it's positive and generous. I am grateful for you, your teaching, your sharing, and your spirit. Thank you.
Watching you tell your story has been enriching and I will put the experience in my Gratitude Journal tonight. Thank you, Peace and Kindness to you.
Thank you so much Nancy :)
I have not been following you long but I felt very drawn to you and now I know why! You are a sweetheart! Your story is amazing! I cried with you and am glad you made it to Australia! Thank you sooo much for sharing! You are a very genuine, down to earth person!
Thank you so, so much Avilon :)
Aw Bless you for sharing your experiences and having to leave and become a refugee. My mother was a refugee during the Manchurian war i believe it was. I only know a few stories. I have been fortunate not to live with the fear you and my mother had. Lost my mom at her age of 56, i was 26. I have so little of my mom but i have great memories of her.
Love to you.
The reason people watch you is because your love for the art shines through and you are willing to learn and share new things constantly, thats growing that evolving. I, like you have so much "stuff" I will never use it all up. I love it all and I don't want to give it up i love the paper and all the colour. Even though I am an older person I still want to learn so thank you for all the sharing.
I loved this you made me cry.. I just passed my mama August 23, 2019 I have material that was left to me from her and making a journal with everything that reminds me of my mama.. I love your pencil case it’s beautiful and your journal from your mother. I made my children scrapbooks and my granddaughter one ...now I’m doing junk journals.. i’ve been doing it less than a year and I absolutely love it and I think you so much for this video 💞
Oh Susan, my deepest condolences. What an amazing way to honour your mama and stay close to her by making a journal with things that remind you of her. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. That way you can always hold her close to you to help heal your broken heart. Sending you big hugs.
Treasure Books awe thank you so much for your kind words..have a great evening..xxx
Love your honesty and just being “raw”. Yes, we are all trying to heal from something. And crafting is a wonderful balm.
You make a huge impact in a very short time. Watching you craft is like getting fed a healthy diet of inspiration. Its amazing. Thank you so so much.
I know you probably won't see this, but I'm going to leave this message anyways. I started following you about 2-4 yrs ago.....time flies & the memory fades, but I know it's been years. lol I come back & rewatch this one video every few months & it never ceases to touch my heart. I just want you to know that you are changes the world....one person at a time. One person does make a difference. After hearing your background story I just stand in amazement at how well you seem to have adjusted & how gentle your heart remains for others. Maybe someday when things are going kinda sideways you'll come across this & smile. Much love & respect from East Texas. 💖💖💖
I only just recently discovered your channel and am now, naturally, trying to catch up with all you've shared up to this point......
Watching this just took my respect for you to a whole new leve...
I've loved your channel since I saw the first video (only about a week ago), and immediately became a subscriber. You've turned my world upside down with treasurer books, (which I shall now refer to these after watching this). You are an absolutely beautiful soul. Your spirit shines like magic✨ Thank you for your gifts and for sharing so much of you. My heart is ready to explode right now... I can't even... I can't really put it into words right now without coming off as being a weirdo.😅🤷🏽♀️ But you're pretty precious, you have an amazing heart, and you have a special gift. ❤️ Thank you again. 🥰
Jenniii!!! Thank you SO much. Sending you big hugs!
And you are so gracious in sharing this craft with others.
Thank you Wendy!
When you said 'I 'm not changing the world', I thought 'oh, if you only knew! Just enticing people to think of waste differently and how it doesn't mean we need to just toss everything out is...world changing in the sense that it is the 'seed' the world needs right now. True, you're not the only one doing it but you do it so WELL! You're like one of the early adopters of the circular economy. You are showing people it CAN be done - beautifully! I also think the idea that we can 'create something from nothing' speaks to many as their 'ticket into' creating, especially for those who believe you 'need all the tools' or you have to 'have it all figured out'....no - ya don't!
I'm watching this video 4 years later, and it feels so true to me. Thanks for sharing, Natasha! You're my favorite ❤
Well, this happens to pop on my feed to watch and I see it is old, but might I say, I have been following you for a while and I love watching your videos. I love how you are detailed in explaining and yes you do help spark creation at least in me. I appreciate you and am so glad you have found this as your purpose because it does so much for me.
Thank you so much for watching :)
Your pencil case is beautiful, filled with love from your mom. You brought tears to my heart watching this.
Thank you so much!!
Two years ago I was diagnosed with cancer and all that I knew changed in a instant. But one of the biggest things that changed was my ability to run and be active. So I began to search for something new to do that could bring me joy when I came across a few of your videos and it changed me. I became addicted to your videos and found something that once again made me happy in a world that didn’t make sense. I am still two yrs later watching your videos and creating great things. Thank you for sharing such a personal story with us all. It was nice to understand your story and why you are who you are ❤ 😊
This video may be from 3 years ago but I just came upon it; 6/25/23. You have such a sweet personality and I so enjoy your video workshops as they are so inspiring. You are so lucky to have a diary from your mother. This is truly a treasure book. My mother passed away 12 years ago and I still miss her. I have the cards she gave me for most of my adult life and I surly treasure those. My brother passed away 2 years ago. I miss those phone chats we had 3 or 4 times a week. I have a birthday card we mailed back and forth for 30 years. We were only 11 months apart and we were extremely close growing up throughout our college days through adulthood. At any rate I continue to get it out on each of our birthdays to read all the notes we made on it. I even have it taped together and all the sticky notes. When he retired I made him a scrap book of our infancy through his retirement. That is my way through scrapbooking onto paper crafting. Thank you again for all your wonderful videos.
Oh.my.word. That was so dear and precious. Thank you so much for opening up and sharing your story - what a blessing you are! I agree - making "treasure books" is a calling. I started making them last year. I started with one about Colonial Williamsburg (a re-creation of an 18th-century city here in Virginia) because I already had so many paper items gathered from there and I knew exactly whom to make it for - my sister-in-law. But then I heard about a friend who had cancer and I immediately knew I had to make one for her and for her mother. Almost all the journals I make now are for people who are experiencing painful situations of one kind or another and I think it truly does cheer them up to receive one. You are precious. Thanks again for being so transparent. God bless!
Thank you so much Kathleen. I am so happy that you have also found your calling, and I am in no doubt that your gifts will bring so much joy to many people!!
I doubt I will forget your story. You really get to the heart of creating. Thank you for your story.
Thank you so much Liz!
Wow! Just wow!..what a treasure you truly are. Continued success in EVERYTHING you do.
No little person should live in their home and be scared because of war. I shed tears for your little self and those memories. The world now in 2022 is a scary time for all of us.now. Stay safe, Your videos bring joy to me and I thank you. xoxoxo Bernice from the USA.
Thank you so much Bernice
Hi - I just wanted to let you know I was moved by your story and think you hit the nail on the head when you talked about snippets of people’s lives and documenting our history. Like you I found my calling too. 😊🌸
Thank you so much Carol. I am so happy that you have also found your calling!!
Life often leads you but you don’t always see it straight away. I realised mine a long time ago but it’s only in the past few years I’ve been able to dedicate the time to it I wanted to. You have created some wonderful videos and are one of the ones I view regularly 🌸
Carol, you are one l watch all the time also! Love your videos!
First of all, I loved you before, but I absolutely adore you now!!! Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. I am always curious about people too. I love to people watch, love it!!!!! I watch you religiously and do so with pleasure. You make me think, laugh and get inspired. Thank you Natasha!! XOXO ❤️❤️
Sarah thank you!! I am also a people watcher, love it!!
6:29 oh my gosh!!!😮😮😮 We're long lost sisters! 😆 I'm addicted to thrift store shopping.
This is such a beautiful reflection. Reminds me of the gift of detachment. How we have enough and how to appreciate what we have. 🙏🏻 Thank you!
The term “junk journal” was a little weird for me also when I first learned about them and started watching how-to videos. I LOVE your term, “Treasure Books.” That’s exactly what they are. ❤️ Thanks for sharing your moving story and your creative talent with us. I enjoyed learning a bit about you and I enjoy and learn so much from all your videos! Thank you ❤️
Thank you so much Deb!
I've watched a couple of these 10 question videos. Yours is by far the most emotional and heart touching I've seen. I like them because new names are mentioned and I get to check out other crafters and I'm filled with more inspiration and new ideas.
As far as why I follow someone's channel, it's not just about their talents. It's the personality, their love of what they are doing and sharing with others because they care.
And now, I have two new people to check out that you mentioned I haven't heard of yet! Thank you for sharing. 💗💗💗
Thank you so much Sally :) There really is so much inspiration out there and so many amazing artists and crafters! How can one ever be bored? Thank you for watching and commenting :)
} l
I have watched your videos for a couple of years but tonight I found your ten questions video. I felt all of the emotions that others have already mentioned. Very moving, very inspiring, very brave!! You are a beautiful soul! I have binged on your videos the last two days while recovering from that nasty flu, no not Covid! The inspiration you prompted in me made me get out of my recliner and gather materials for several ideas!! Thank you for that. I’m 80 and live in Arizona, USA and you have brightened my day and life. Consider yourself HUGGED!! Bev
Thank you for sharing your story.
You have so much talent, please don’t out yourself down. Your heart is huge and your gift of positivity is amazing.
It was amazing to watch this video today for the first time! I lost my mom the year your mom gave you that diary. I was 22, not 8, but the tragedy was so devistating to me. To have to go through my young adulthood without my mom was the hardest thing ever. We grew up poor and I too have a problem hoarding craft items. I can "create" who I am rather than try to "tell" who I am. Everyone loves my handmade things because they speak of who I am. I don't have hardly a thing from my mother. So therefore I create and give myself away that way. Just a little memory of me. I moved from home many states away to move from the hurts of that time, but the memories will remain none the less. I remember hearing of Serejevo, but cannot imagine having to "leave" my home to escape harm. I wonder if it will come to me here in the USA soon however. Our rights are being stolen from us each and every day, and quickly. Our government is tearing us apart at the seams. The division between people is horrible, and the attack on our religious belief is growing stronger every day. I cannot imagine having to leave the country I love so much. Thank you for telling us about you. :) p.s. There is a gentleness in your voice that is soothing and kind. That is why people watch. :)
Ah Valerie, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom and loosing her and not having many of her things. :( I love that you have found healing in this craft. I love how you explain that you are giving yourself away that way, and also how you "create" who you are, rather than "tell". Wonderfully put. Thank you. It is very concerning what is happening in the US. I was under the impression that things have settled down a little. Its very scary and concerning
Thank you. You gave honest answers. Up to now the questions were like a game. You made them real.
Thank you so much Bethany :)
Oh! Natasha, I have cried so much, smiled and so enjoyed every word you have spoken in this Video.
It’s the the BEST video I have watched from any Crafter.
You have truly Inspired me to start a Journal. I keep saying I will do especially when our Grandsons do something to make us smile/laugh/cry. I have watched a few of your Videos and truly enjoyed them. Tomorrow I WILL definitely start.
This is 3 years old but has made so appreciate the life I have.
God Bless you.
💖🏴
You have a beautiful soul. I have battles and victories throughout my life. Sharing yours is comforting to me. God bless you.
Loved you before and Love you even more!!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ I have tried so many of your ideas.
thank you so much Carol!!!
Oh how I truly enjoyed getting to know more about you and a snippet of your background....and yes your passion comes through every piece you craft ....thank you 🙏❤
Thank you so much Christa!!
I found your channel a few years ago and have enjoyed learning from you. It's nice to get to know you. You do have a love for what you do and you have talent all your own. Videos like yours and Pam at the Paper Outpost have made a big impact on me. I have loved making things since I was a little girl. My grandma taught me the basics of sewing and my other grandma taught me the basics of knitting and crochet. I wasxalso taught to use what you have. Items can be reused and made into something new. We always made cards for each other in my family. We used paper and glue made from water and flour. Mom and Dad kept every card us kids made for them. Dad would use old garden hose and juice cans to make artistic trim in our house by gluing it to the wall and covering it with plaster. You would never know what was under the plaster. He made the house look like a castle. It was wonderful. He taught us kids how to make things from the things people usually threw away. Having little money makes a person think how to use what they have. Again for your video about yourself. 😊
Even as a child going through what you did, you somehow made it through that awful hardship to inspire us with your gratitude for the small things that mean so much. When you spoke of your 1st journal, the pencil case & the doll being your friend, oh my goodness, you truly embody the spirit of appreciating how memories come from those special thoughtful gifts mean more than something bought from a shelf. The love that goes into crafting a gift, the meaning behind the gift. This was a beautiful video and I’m so happy I found it this evening.
I have been lacking in everything since my mum passed away in 2018. I get my love of craft from her, she was a dress maker and she made me my princess dresses when I was a little girl. No one had the same dress because they were one of a kind & and I loved them so much. It has been tough without her, I lost my meaning when she past away. It’s not something that we can retrieve very easily but I loved crafting and your video on Christmas card journals has given me so much inspiration & motivation to begin something new in my crafting journey. I craft paw wreaths and Christmas crafts for dog lovers and this has given me so many ideas.
Thank you & Merry Christmas 🎄
I’ve watched you for a couple of years now but didn’t know your very interesting story. Thank you for sharing the deep parts too.
You have also described perfectly how I feel about paper, junk journaling, and handmade items. I don’t have any kids, but if there is just one person in the future that adores the past as I do, maybe they will get some joy from one of my handmade items. Thank you again Natasha! ❤️❤️❤️
I watched this last night and watching again for you really touched my heart. I also hate throwing things away and I believe in a penny saved is a penny earned. Treasure Book, that is great name, smart son. My head is spinning with ideas thank you for the new inspiration and what a gift taking hard times and turning it to a gift and treasure and sharing it with so many.
Once I found you I haven't watched anyone else. You gave me a reason why I have hoarded papers since I was a little girl and what to do with my lifelong treasures. Thank you 😊 I was happy to see you in this video and I absolutely love your videos, how you talk us through the project, your instructions, how you show us how to do a project, your written instructions. You have beautiful hands and a lovely voice. You are beautiful inside and out. Your just wonderful and have inspired me to be creative with my hoarded papers
