My Mom was the Greek girl that left the island of Samos in Greece at the age of 17.... Her father was a fisherman...and she loved the sea.....she left and only saw them again 13 years later...by the way she went to South Africa and was married off within 3 months to a man that saw her at church and liked her....I was born a year later. Beautiful touching journals,

hello, I happen to stumble into this video. By just passing thru videos. Those journals are Beautiful. I am a New subscriber to you.. I am a daughter also of a Mother who was an I migrant from Mexcio. My mom became a US citizen. And has her Green card. When you told about that journal it really Hit home. I have never cried so much in my Life. I was so excited to hear about your give away, I think I missed it. I would truely love to have one of those. May God Bless All your Endeavors. I look Forward to seeing more of your videos. I really, really enjoyed it. Until your next video. See ya soon. 📨📝✏✒📅📃📋 . I have done this type of crafting for along time. I am in the middle of doing one now. I have been on my own Journey for 6 years now. I am Battling Cancer and I have been making some for my boys so they can have some Sweet Special Memories of me, there momma. So, that when God decides to take me with Him, they will have a Piece of me. But until then I Fight.

Nazy! Thank you for sharing your amazing talents! My heart echoes all the previous sentiments. I just wanted to say something about the paper that shows floral patterns for cross stitching and or needlepoint... My grandmother taught me how to do needlework with patterns just like these. She taught me how to iron these patterns onto linen pillowcases or table runners, napkins & doilies, even the hems of the flat sheets for her bed. Then she would crochet along the edges to add even more home-made beauty to the simple, clean white linen! What great memories came rushing back because of your journals!! Thank you; I needed that today!!

Nazzi, you truly have an old soul in a very young lady. Your parents should be applauded on their parenting skills. I have watched all of your videos and your artistic style has grown so much. I loved your stories and was not surprised by your poems. My father's parents immigrated from Sicily, never spoke English, but brought up 12 children. My grandmother was a seamstress and it was my father that taught me my sewing skills. My father was the 11th child, but the first born in America 1 month after reaching NY. You have inspired me to create a book using my sewing skills on my Italian family to hand down to the family. Thank you so much for sharing.

Like always just wonderful. Love your work..the story's..the concept.. everything. I'm from Romania. For now I'm living in UK . My parents it's Hungarian. So... I'm emigrant to. For that reason this collection it's so emotional and special for me to. And yes...the reason to travelling like emigrant in another country it's for a better life. It's not so easy but life it's a journey and if we can see the benefits of the journey we make sacrifices and appreciate every single day. Hugs

Very moving history shared in this journal process. All the details are so special. Thank you for discussing everything. It moved me to tears several times. You are all heart for your family and culture.

Greetings and Aloha Amity, Amazing, and what a beautiful way to teach diversity through creativity and the beauty of your Immigrant journals. We all have a story, the way you arrange the bits and pieces of ephemera, and the POEM, I am enchanted. Hawaii has some of the most diverse populations in the USA. The ideas for journaling the stories you present are appreciated and will be shared with many a student. Mahalo for being a creator of more beauty in this world.

I love your topic here, Thank you for sharing this!... I too am an immigrant in a country I grew up in... arriving here also at the age of three. My parents left their homeland to escape communism and they too, wanted to give their children a better life!. Having since visited my country when I was younger... I longed to see where I came from (I was born there).... but am eternally grateful for the decision my parents made. I have lived a wonderfully abundant life.

Wow. The journals are amazing. I would love to feel one. Those fabric covers look so tactile and the bits you put inside. The stories were just as beautiful as the journals. And the envelopes! Over the top. Thank you so much for the give away. I was not available for the items in your etsy, so I can hope for the give away. Thank you for all of your inspiration. Each set you make are my favorite.

Loved you Immigrant Journals. Beautiful way to write a story. Me facinan tus videos. Eres una joven muy especial con mucho arte y con el don de la counicacion. Veo todos tus youtube videos. Soy de Puerto Rico por lo cual no seria considerada imigrante pues somos cuidadanos americanos desde el 1917. Sinembargo encierta forma somos imigrante, porque tambien llegamos a este pais buscando otro futuro. Me motivaste a preparar un journal de imigrant basado en mi madre, quien tambien era modista y vino a este pais conmigo de 5 a-nos. Como todos los latino no importa si nacemos en USA siempre nos sentimos del pais de origen. Dios te bendiga

My grandfather was from Czechoslovakia and came to this country with nothing. Then my father while in the army met a Korean girl who he helped to bring her sisters to America. My aunts came with nothing but their clothes and wedding ring they sold to start their lives. So I can relate to an immigrants dreams. Your talent and your heart is so beautiful to see. Thank you for your generosity. I would love to be entered in the giveaway :)

Oh my goodness girl these are lovely as is your story and your sweet spirit. I'm so glad your family made the journey here to America and you have found your way in this world to bless other people in such beautiful ways. You are just as much a testament to the other women in your family as they are to you. I would love to be entered in this drawing for one of your pretties... But just so you know.... I receive a gift from you every time I open up you-tube and find a video from you. Hugs sweet girl!

As a person from the Uk that now lives in the States,I really appreciate these journals mostly because of the way I travel back and forth between the two countries. I go by a very large ship just as they did in days gone by when it was the ONLY way. Its good to think of how a country is made up of so many stories from people of different countries. You make such beautiful keepsakes!!

Oooh! The Greek journal has my name on it! I hope I get a chance to purchase it, I’m normally too late on all your Etsy items. My parents arrived in Australia from Greece in the early 60’s, and this could easily be a story about my mum. Thank you so much for sharing your textile creations, I can’t wait for your courses.💕

I'd love to entered in the giveaway ..... but I am CRYING !!!!! both from the immigrant video and that I missed out on purchasing the Mexican journal. I absolutely love Mexico and go there every chance I get! Which is maybe once a year for just a week, since I have a job. Even my husband won't go with me anymore ... he says you always want to go there, he wants to see different places, so I drag one of my friends with me. I remember the very first time I visited Mexico - when I walked out of the airport, I still remember smelling the air and hearing the little birds in the trees where I was standing, I can't explain it, but I felt like I was home. I never forgot that moment. Maybe I was from there in another life. That first time I was 34 - so that was 21 years ago. And still now, I was there last year with a friend and I still get that same feeling. We went to a beautiful church and stayed for mass. I didn't understand a word, but it moved me to tears. And incredibly, it was a huge church and the only seats we could get were almost behind a big pedestal type post...a few seconds after the mass started, a beautiful older Mexican lady tapped my shoulder and motioned with her finger to follow her and we did ... her and her husband wanted us to have their seats right near the front, we were saying no that it was fine, but they insisted. Oh my goodness this is turning into a book ;) Anyway, my question is do you make custom journals? Let me know. Love watching your videos and the journal stories are wonderful! Sunshine

Your work and the love you put into them are beautiful. My grandparents immigrated from Finland. She was a cleaning woman at Suomi college in upper Michigan. My grandpa worked in the copper mines. You brought many wonderful memories back to me. Thank you. Such interest in the past from such a young woman. Your family must be proud of you. Again, thanks !

Love your videos, listen to your excitement as you explain each new thing you have created from your heart! You inspire young and old! I come from Irish, English and Native American descent with a medicine woman as a great grandmother and a castle in Ireland with my birth name on it and still standing. It's amazing how much runs in the dna for each of us. So your beautiful books signify so much to me, heritage and history. Beautiful work, Nazzie!

I am absolutely taken with the concept of these journals. As beautiful as they are, it is the message behind these journals that is utterly moving. As one Mexican immigrant to another, it is truly touching to see such heart, strength, inspiration, and dedication in you. Your spirit shines bright and it fills me up with pride and joy to know how far people like us have come. Lets continue to bloom. 💕

i am Greek and i really like the greek journal. your work is amazing. very sweet gift.tfs

I need to finish watching this when I have time - only got through about 8 1/2 minutes... BUT you have given me ideas! I'm second generation American Norwegian and I have needlework from both of my grandmas. I have been trying to figure out what to do with some of it since it is not recognizable as such, buried in my hope chest. I'm thinking of doing four books - one for each grandparent's side of the family. I've done a lot of research and remember a lot of stories so I am hoping to make these be treasures. I hate seeing marvelous things end up in thrift stores since the story has already stopped before it reaches those shelves. Thank you for the fodder for my stories. One of my grandmas was extremely poor - most of the children were sent to live with others after their father was killed in a fishing accident. We too often have no comprehension how difficult life can be.

The journals are beautiful and I love their stories. I am german and live in Germany. My husband came from Marocco to Germany for studying and wanted to go back with a degree. We met each other in his second year here. We became a couple, married a few years later and he stayed after his degree. That is now 24 years ago. Each year we travel with our son to Marocco to visit his family. Thank you for this idea of journals. I would love to win your give away. Xxx Nicole

Hi Nazy! What careful thought and planning went into these beautiful journals. It so warms my heart that someone as young as you has such respect for the immigrants from everywhere that helped to build this great nation. You speak often of your mom and I can see why, as she definitely "raised you right". You should be very proud of yourself.

Wow!!! Just Wow you are the sweetest, most caring, young woman I’ve seen in quite awhile. The beauty of your soul shines through every stitch and every page of these gorgeous pieces of art! Your inspiration is boundless. Thank you for sharing a piece of the loveliness if you!

You and your journals are the greatest example of sending great energy and light and joy out into the world by pouring all of that into your creations and then passing them along. It's so clear! Beautiful!

Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful. I am a second generation French immigrant and I love the idea of documenting my heritage in a journal such as this. I have been collecting vintage ephemera, fabric and lace to create my own journals and you always give me such wonderful ideas. I would love to be entered in the giveaway. Your creations are so amazing thank you for the inspiration. I can picture an Asian inspired collection with beautiful Asian fabrics, cherry blossoms and ephemera with Asian writing.

You precious little angel ! You’re poem made me cry. So beautiful! And I adore all your creations but I’m loving the size on these. My go to size. Ancestry and heritage is always who we are deep down. 💪❤️

ok that poem made me feel like crying - and I never cry. beautiful. Everything was so beautiful. :D xx

Amazing...Amazingly beautiful! I'm seeing your video and journals for the first time and they are simply stunning! I am in awe of all you've created, and your work, so detailed. Love, love, love love, did I say love...yes! And yes I am now a subscriber who is longing to see more. Thank you...truly inspired!

You are awesome. My husband was born in Tampico Mexico and came here alone in the late 70s and has been here since. After his mom passes when he was young he wanted to do something different. I love your journals a nd want to learn how to to these. I am so into the era of 1912. Why I don' know. But I want to do journals in this era 😁

Nazy.. You are an Amazing woman and I know Your Grandmother and Mother are soooo very proud of you alone and now of the work you do to honor immigrant women. The stories you have done are amazing. My story is an Irish one and I am so very proud of you ! Just Amazing what you have done... I could go on and on.. we all love you and this beautiful work you share with us..

I wasn't quick enough to purchase one of your creations this time around, so please keep me in mind for this giveaway ❤️❤️ it would bring me so much comfort and joy in having some of your art

I just stumbled upon your channel. Simply beautiful and your immigrant stories really spoke to me. My parents immigrated to Canada 53 years ago from Portugal to provide a better life and education to my older brother (then 2 years old) and any future children 😊 Im so grateful for the life and opportunity they have given me. I had the idea of creating a journal of their story; This totally inspired me to do a lot more with it !! Love those fabric envelopes !

I’m am in awe! The journey are STUNNING!!! The first one touched my heart and the story behind it beautiful. My family too are immigrants from Mexico. I immediately wanted to buy it for my daughter but sadly too late. How fortunate the person who purchased it. What a treasure!!! Look forward to seeing more of your work.

OMG 😮 you’re so amazing and the journal are absolutely beautiful 😍 I know it’s a old video but I am new in all this paper crafting and I’m have just finished my first junk journal. Your style is so much me. I live on the other side of the world and there are no one who makes junk journals..jet🙂 So I look the hole KZread though and found you...my luck 🙏❤️

Amity, you are a special soul. I pray for you and your tender heart. May God always bless you. Thank you for sharing your talent and art with everyone so freely.

Your videos are so fun to watch, and I love watching your work develop with your own unique style. Beautiful!

I'm my self an immigrant.. Peruvian living in Germany. A hard and sweet way.. Nostalgic feelings are always in me. A wonderful idea this journal. Inspiration 100% gracias!!!

Ohhh my dear: Que Hermosa history, me Recuerda la family de mi Adorable Nieta, ella nació aquí pero sus abuelos x parte de Madre inmigrantes Mexicanos, grandes personas de mucho esfuerzo, mi Nieta hermosa ya tiene 21 años y es muy emocionante cómo tú… te felicito de corazón por tu trabajo y lo orgullosa que eres de tú familia Mexicana… me emocioné al ver tú lindo video, gracias 🙏 por tu gratitud ❤

So beautiful !! I'm reminded of my Grandparents that immigrated from Norway!! I can visualize doing something like this to honor my Grandparents !! Stunning work and stories !!!

Well this is my first video from you and I can tell you that I'm completely blown away with this journals!! They are beautiful and very touching since I am and immigrant myself. Looking forward to see more of your videos.

Nazy Im so in love with these journals they are my absolute favourites you've created so far . The stories of each of them touched my heart . I have 3 sons who's father migrated to Australia from Italy, with his family and Uncles and Aunts , when he was only 3 years old. Thy were from a little town in Sicily, called Calatabiano. His father was totally illiterate, they knew no English at all but still they took that long journey on that ship, with the hope of better opportunities in a country they knew only a little about. When my boys dad started school he only had a very small understanding of a few English words, he was scared due to his limited understanding and his older siblings tell the story that he would very often run away on his teacher in search of his older siblings for comfort . Just a short story of what it was like for a very strong traditional Italian family who had a dream of a better life and greater opportunities for his family . Thank you so much for reminding me that this world is made up of people who follow there dreams . Crafty hugs xx Fiona

+Amity Bloom These are so beautiful. I love the story behind them. The clip was heartbreaking. It makes Me think how sad it would be to be one of those Women, as a Young Girl, missing their Families.

Nazy !! These were the most beautiful journals I' ve ever seen !! I am from Greece and I wanted to cry when you talked about the greek journal, I had goosebumps all the time! It was so moving, all of them where! My grandfather was an immigrant from Pontos! I don' t know if you are familiar with the history of this place and their culture! They were forced to leave everything behind and return to Greece, which is an unusual way of immigration but this is what happened and he has told me so many stories from those hard years of their lifes. Some members of his family died trying to come back. You brought memories to my mind and tears to my eyes!! We, as human nation, we have so many things in common and I am in tears reading all those amazing stories in the comments. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I simply adore the journals, and the envelopes are truly divine as well. I would love to be entered into the giveaway Nazy! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us, not only in the journals and other bits and bobs you make available for us to purchase, but in these videos as well - nobody inspires me quite like you do to journal and create and just get my hands dirty with something I love :) i am from South Africa, and I have shared your videos with so many people down here and you've inspired more than you know! Thank you again, sending all the love and happiness there is xxx

Like always you have made the most beautiful journals, and being a immigrant myself you made me cry because both of my parents brought me and my brothers and sisters to the USA from Mexico, Sonora so we can have a better life. Both my parents have passed away and I was so touch with all of your immigrant stories. I appreciate what our parents did for us. Thank you so so much. Please it would be honored to be in your give away, to have that pocket (or wallet) would be so wonderful. I really respect your work of art that you create in your journals, I can't afford them at this moment but I am saving up to do so in the near future. Again Thank you may Our Father God Bless you and your family always. Norma

Hey Naz, I recently found your channel and you have inspired me to the point of creating my very own junk journals! I have only just started to coffee stain my pages and unfortunately don't have a sewing machine... I studied textiles and have been collecting fabric scraps and paper since I can remember. I love visual journalling and have been looking for a way to combine the two passion for a while now. You have just given me that combination! Thank you so much for sharing and spreading the love

Your Greek journal made me think of the film Brides and my great aunt who was one of those who travelled to America to get married to a Greek man she had never met

Your journals are absolutely gorgeous! What a beautiful idea! Love the special touch of your poetry and how you tell the story. My grandparents immigrated from Italy! Thank you for sharing your talents with us. You are an inspiration to us all.

Oh Nazy...I am truly overwhelmed by these exquisite creations. I have worked with immigrants and their stories of undeterred courage is amazing! Even today, as we sit and complain about our country, there are others that risk everything, to come to America...the Land of Opportunity. Most of us forget how truly blessed we are to have been born here. Thank you for reminding me (us) of that fact. Also...the giveaway is such a sweet gift.

You’ve outdone yourself. I love the idea of an immigrant journal. I’ve done my own family history research for decades and lived in Europe while my husband was active duty where I did some of my own research (and was very busy with my children, two born in foreign hospitals), I’ll definitely make a family history journal. I loved you your fabric pocket tags! Now you’ve wowed me again with fabric envelopes. I would be thrilled to win one! Thank you for sharing!

I am in LOVE with these journals! My grandfather immigrated from a village in Italy, he borrowed $400 from a relative in 1904, came to America with his brother in order to bring his family (his wife and newborn son) to start over and escape the hunger and disease, he worked in the coal mines in Colorado, save up the money to pay back his debt, and went on to earn enough for his wife and now 1yr old son, when they arrived, he had moved to Utah and worked at the smelter, and had a 20 acre farm. I didn't know any of this until my father passed away... I love the story, and want to make my own travel journal! you have inspired me like no one ever has! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I am wondering how you made or purchased the fabulous passports? I want to make this for my kids, so they will know this sweet story and appreciate it as they grow older.

Beautiful story ❤️ hugs from Italy 🙂 Francesca

Such imagination!!! Wish I had one or even a story. I feel like I have nothing to give, even though I am crafty, and a floral designer by trade, I have no imagination. You are such an inspiration. Love your journals!! Thank you for sharing.

Amity, the commercial is wonderful, but your story is the best. I’m watching with tears. We love you and your work! Blessings, joy and prayers to you and yours~

the roads of youtube have led me to your wonderful art. I love your sensitivity and taste. I don't know what language to use! ha ha ha Saludos desde Argentina!!

Hello Nazy. Love the Immigrant Journals and the stories that go with them. I was in a conversation just this week with my husband of my admiration for the immigrants that helped to settle America. How courageous they had to be. What strength their lives and sacrifices show. We can learn so much from them. I have to be totally honest with myself, I do not believe I would have had the courage some of them had, even though I consider myself to be a strong woman. Would love to be entered into the giveaway please. And as always thank you for the inspiration.

Oh my....your creations are simply stunning! .What a gorgeous collection and what beautiful thoughts that have gone into creating each and everyone of them. Lovely fabrics and laces. You are such an inspiration. The fabric pouches are just lovely as well. How gracious of you to offer one as a giveaway. Thank you for an opportunity to win one!

Absolutely love these journals and the fabric envelopes! Love how you added in your poetry - and all the other elements to create these rich stories. And thank you for sharing your personal story - and it's very true about these strong women immigrants - they had to be so brave and resilient in a new, strange country!

gorgeous journals, and the video made me cry. I love the poem, it brought tears to my eyes too. I immigrated to Mexico from the USA, and am lucky enough to be able to spend time living in both countries. I love Mexico, it is my adopted country, the people here are incredible

Cathleen!!!!!! YOU ARE THE WINNER!!! YAY :) I am so happy! I loved hearing your story and it makes me filled with joy that the fabric envelope is going to someone that will truly appreciate it! We both have the love for Mexico in common and it truly is an honor! Please message me either by instagram or email to let me know your shipping address so I can send your wonderful parcel to you!

Beautiful journals, wow, love the story, feel so inspired to try and create something like this for myself. Would love to make one as both my Mum and my Nanna are immigrants, my Nanna left Ireland for England and England for Australia, and my Mum from England for Australia. So really massive leaps there and I just love the idea about journaling about them and their lives. My nanna had relatives who even helped build the titanic, which is pretty amazing to think about. So yeah always love your videos and thanks so much for always inspiring me to be creative!! ❤️❤️😘😘😘

Wow, stuff disappears out of your store really quickly! The new set of journals are so pretty and I love how you've created a little story for each one. The fabric envelopes are so pretty too!

Wow, I am so intrigued, I’m from Africa and moved to America, I’ve seen a few books but your books are so neat, and well thought out, love the story, family is so important

HI Nazy, you have been such an inspiration to me and have changed the way I journal, I just want to thank you for that. My parents and relatives all immigrated from Italy to create better lives for themselves and for their families. As i was fortunate to be born and raised in a wonderful country I am also reminded that it's all because my parents struggled and made choices to leave their home lands and venture into something new so that eventually their children (my sister and I) would never have to experience what they did. I am truly grateful for that. Thank you for sharing your beautiful journals and wonderful stories. Thank you for the chance to win this beautiful creation. God Bless xx Sabrina

A few weeks ago I watched 1 of your videos by accident & now I'm addicted lol. I think I've watched like 50 of them since then. I had never seen these kind of journals before but once I seen yours I had to start my own that day!! They're so amazing! I can't wait to finish mine. I know it won't be near as awesome as yours but it's been a blast to work on

How special, I have heard so many stories from my greats', of leaving their country and traveling alone, steam ships, recipes, pictures, just like these! Great job!

I think these immigrant journals are the most beautiful and creative that you’ve done. The accompanying stories are wonderful. Congratulations to the lucky ones who got to purchase a journal or envelope. I hope one day I can press the buy buttons fast enough! I would love to have the chance to win the lovely envelope. I have really enjoyed watching your channel and your work grow. You inspired me to try and make journals in your style! Best wishes to you and your continued success.

What a wonderful idea! I hope this will make all Americans appreciate the immigrants that made this country strong. When you think about it, all our ancesters were immigrants, unless you're a native indian. God bless you Nazy for doing this work. xoxo

Your artistry is striking, I have so enjoyed watching your growth and these heritage/immigrant journals are so uniquely beautiful. I can only imagine the time, care & thoughtfulness it takes for you to make such wonderful pieces. My dad's grandfather's family were German Jews that immigrated to America, I can't imagine that journey. I so look forward to owning one of your one-of-a-kind journals one day. xoxo kelli

so sweet. The picture of your grandmother, is that a mosaic piece she is working on? wow, gorgeous. I love your love for your family. I'm sure they are very proud of you. Love your work.

Omg! The pouches! The textiles! They are always so dreamy and thoughtful!

Amity these are breathtaking, those covers WOW!! ... Your fabric collage work is so beautiful. My favorite one is the French one #3, and closely followed by the last one #4 .. There stunning, hopefully they all go to great homes... The little fabric envelopes are really cute love them ... tfs and for the opportunity to perhaps be a lucky winner... xoxo Fi

I LOVE ALL YOUR PRODUCTS THAT YOU MADE MY GRADPARENTS WERE FROM MEXICO MY HEART IS WITH THE STYLE OF THEIR CULTURE KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB THANK YOU

Hello Naz! So pleased to see such beautiful journals, sad that I missed the chance to grab one of my own. The French one is my favorite of this collection. Thank you for showing us these journals, these videos always inspire me to keep trying with my journal. I completely adore your fabric collages; I hope to create something like that for myself, but for now I'm just attempting the basics. I loved watching this video while I was crafting, it just help my creativity flow much better. I'd love to be entered into the giveaway! Thank you so much for videos like this! I'm really so excited to see what your next collection of journals will be. Hobbies like this have really made me feel like I'm blooming with you as well, so from the bottom of my heart thank you! Also, very impressed by your Spanish! I could never learn but your voice is soothing in English as well as Spanish. Thank you!

Wow the journal are beautiful,you are so gifted. And I love the fabric envelope. I hope one day I can be able to buy one. Estuve pendiente y aun asi me ganaron. Muchas felicidades Naz mereces tener tu propio canal. Tu mami debe estar muy orgullosa de ti.

I love how much emotion you put in these journals! They are all very beautiful and unique, great work!

So Beautiful Nazy!!! I too am an immigrant and I know what it's like to come from nothing and create a life for your family. I came from Italy when I was almost 4 years old and I watched my parents take any and all jobs they could to help our family survive! I'm grateful for the lessons I learned from them. It helped to always keep me grateful and to pass down to my kids that anything and everything that's amazing comes from hard work and dedication! Thank you for creating these gorgeous journals...seriously fantastic!! xo

i absolutely love your ideas & the meaning behind each item . The fabric incorporation into journals is such a cool thing to do. i never knew that such journals would be able to carry out a story from beginning to end. . . . let alone a heritage journal that holds so much meaning & a story of struggle . I definitely missed the listing once it went up otherwise I would of gotten one just for keepsake & reference . . . . thank you for sharing your inspirations !

Subscribed!! You are absolutely amazing definitely inspired me. I wanted to make a 2018 planner but was stuck on what area I wanted to do. I am a child of immigrants who each in turn were children of immigrants the Caribbean, African, Indian ,Native American, European there are so many stories in my blood line, I have even been hoarding fabrics beads and lace from India and Africa.The old stories,rhymes and wise words my parents would tell me as a child, lists of recipes which were simple and hearty hopes and dreams across the generations. Echoes across time. This will be beautiful way to capture all of it.My mind is just buzzing I am going to do some research and gather some documents and I can use my poetry and art to.Thank you so very much.You are a genius!!!

Simply beautiful! I just found you! When the student is ready, the teacher will appear! Thank you for sharing your amazing gift of creating beautiful art. Blessings

Hi Nazy, this video is wonderful, and one of the most moving i have watched from you. I too love that commercial. It has been so long since I looked at my mami's things. She loved to sew, and when she passed 5 years ago I inherited what she had left from her sewing projects. You have inspired me to do something with these so that I may pass these on to my own children. Our final sweet conversations of her youth, her hopes and her dreams. To the last moments when I held her hand and said her prayers for her, thank you so much Nazy. Bien Hecho Mija! Love Millie

I love your journals and the techniques you use to make them! I was so sad for me that I missed everything, but so happy for you! Your love for your products really comes through, please keep going with it!!!!!

Hi Nazy! I love your artistic eye, and your talent, I'm so glad your are here in our country sharing all your art and love!

Your vibe is so calming and soothing as if you truely want to create a platform that wants to inspire. I love these journals!

Dear Amity, I find your videos so inspiring and beautiful ,they brighten my day Every time I see them. Coming from a family where we are not really sure where we are from except for my grandmother who immigrated from Poland I've always found it fascinating. I feel like you have portrayed the struggled that I have heard of from my family beautifully and so whole heartedly.

I would always here about their hard life in Poland living off of only a piece of bread a day literally. And when they came to America leavung EVERYTHING behind including their farm. Not being able to speak any English and being kicked out of schools for it. Having to work in factories with mercury and being cut and burned all the time just to scrape by. And now seeing where we are now it is truly amazing and powerful.

Beautiful journals, love the the journey of each lady. Thank you for sharing your heart in each of these journals. Love your envelops!!!

All just works of gorgeousness. TFS , a joy to see and watch.😊🌸💕

Ur heritage journals are really amazing. And I just love the fabric envelopes with little items inside. U have beautiful talent. Thank u for sharing.

This is one of the videos I return to watch over and over again. Definitely my favorite of yours, and I've seen almost all of them. I am immigrant myself, and living among many immigrants from my country here in Milwaukee. Polish community is very strong when it comes to cherishing and documenting our history and heritage. These journals are great inspiration to me. I would love to make a series of Polish women journals one day.

Lovely journals. They appear to be inspired by the story character journals that Nic the Booksmith creates but of course these reflect your own unique artistic style. You ladies are so talented and the research poured into these journals is impressive

Awww its only 4min 54 sec in and Im crying already... Beautifully created...

Awesome journals, love your whole approach of creating a story with each of your pieces. I came to the US from Mexico at the age of 10, and hold my culture close to my heart. I love all the fabrics and how they are given a new life. Keep doing your work and inspiring us all. Love, Patty

Gorgeous and beautiful journals!!! Thank you for sharing your work and family!!! Hugs Olivia :)

You are truly an artist. Your stories inspiration for your journals add such an incredible artistic touch. Fantastic.

when i was watching the video, i was thinking to myself that i want the French journal...and i got it! was refreshing the etsy site numerous times so i dont miss my chance! this is my 2nd purchase from you and i love your creativity and imagination! you are so talented Nazy! cant wait to get the journal in the mail.

Sweet girl your journals are gorgeous! Absolutely gorgeous! I love the pages, I love the laces, and the covers are fabulous!!!

Your journals are gorgeous in so many ways. I love the textures, the colours, the stories they tell, the fabrics and how the pieces relate to each other. I'm the eldest of 7 children & my father, who passed away at 64 over 30 yrs ago, came to Australia after WWII bringing with him a battered chocolate tin containing vital documentation & a few wartime photos. My late mother was born in NZ & came here with her family aged 6. My matriarchal grandfather was of Cornish/Welsh descent & my grandmother, Scottish/French/Spanish. I should do a journal with some family history. Thanks for sharing your lovely journals. P.S. Your cute little embroidered flowers have inspired me to do some embroidery - it's been many moons since I've done so. Of course, like all of your subscribers, I'd love to win the giveaway. :)
