    This is so cute! The best thing about this journal is, you are so right that we always want room to grow our journals! This method is very flexible so it can grow as you work through to the finish.

Your ‘messy style’ and “no real measuring “ (which girl is my style ...me and rulers hate each other haha!

    Hello :) I am like you, I never make patterns or take measurements, most of the time I do things on the go ... hehehe ... (that's complicated if you want to do tutorials, but, everyone will follow their style ... ) I get stressed when I do very "perfect" things. I have struggled against perfectionism for many years, it is somewhat difficult when you are a person with a personality trait "HSP" (highly sensitive person). Maybe you never heard it before? Maybe you would be interested in reading or watching Elaine Aron's videos. Anyway, I really like the way you work and your beautiful journals and style :) I'm glad you broke the barrier of shyness from your first video, and you're making more and more videos and cute things for your store. A hug!
