Dear Natasha, I want you to know that watching you, has made me a "better person"..."Crafter"...." Artist"...! Let me explain... I have been "doing " Art since I was 2 years old... am now 85 and a half ! My husband and I had six children in ten years. They are all grown and are Grandparents themselves now ! In addition to raising my family, I have been a working Artist for over 60 years. ! ... but sometimes, I have been tempted to cut a corner, just " make -a-do".... with some of my projects.... However, since watching you, and seeing your diligent determination to make ALL things beautiful... I have been finding myself being more mindful in doing things a little better each time.... No one else in my experience has been instrumental in doing that for me... I plan to "work" till I'm about 105, then I might decide to retire , and just play with my Art !... Did I say... Natasha...? I Love You.... Joni

We do! She makes me happy.

You keep me laughing with “little” comments. The Little journal is adorable. 😊

Imagine a tree decorated entirely with tiny journals that you can give to everyone who visits over the holidays.

Absolutely love these 💕💕💕💕💕💕 You can say whatever you want! Lol. Little little little. Little quotes, little thoughts, little wishes, little inspirations. 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

These are beautiful. I love that you create these from thrift stores rather than Amazon stuff. You inspire me. A. Lot. Thank you, dear Natasha. 💌✍️📖📚

Even smaller and they can be Junk Journal Tree Ornaments! Write the year at the front and festive things you have done during the holidays - people you got to see - etc... How fun! You are so full of inspiration! You really get my creative juices flowing! Thanks so much!

I love these! I might make one for each of my Granddaughters for their stockings! and I will suggest they use it for positive comments, as you suggested. These days, we all need a kind word or a reminder that we are special. Thanks for sharing such a cute idea!❤

Every LITTLE thing you do is magic, every LITTLE thing you make is great. I wished that I could be, like you, artistic. So watching all your videos can't wait.

Oh those are fantastic! I think they would work beautifully for a daily “gratitude “ journal....each day (1 page) write 1-2 things you’re grateful for. 👍🥰❤️

So adorable! These artistic tiny journals are sweet just to hold and flip through...even if you never write in them. They can offer a tactile sense of calm. Thank you!

I love LITTLE journals. You made yours look very exquisite. Tfs dear Natasha💕🍀♥️💕🍀💕♥️

Natasa, your tiny, little books are precious, darling, and so creative. They would make perfect little stocking stuffers, wouldn’t they? And using the crimp bead was a great idea. You always inspire me! Love it when you get silly. And, People! Please use Google to find things and stop asking. I mean. Really. Hehehe. Love you! 💖

Just the cutest little journals. I have a box that I’ve saved all my scrap pieces ……..ribbons/ ties/laces/ trims……so many precious bits and bobs………🥰just in case they might be useful……..now…..I can have so much fun playing and just randomly creating some of these 🤗 little 🤗 books. Listening to you today was a joy……..it was a fun project and I can tell you had fun making them.🥰

I noticed you say “little things” a lot. It doesn’t bother me, it’s the cute little things in life that bring refreshing from the big heavy things. I also love when you say “it doesn’t bother me”. 🌷

It wouldn't boring me to death. I want really see how you decorate the pages. All the little Pieces. I want to see the Progress of your creativity.

Little book for little Momentos that makes people smile. They're really beautiful.

These are too beautiful! I love the idea of using it to build up your self-image by writing compliments in the book that others give to you. Too many women walk around with self-limiting beliefs and hurting hearts.

Thank you for giving me a very much needed laugh and smile. Not to mention the inspiration. You say little as much as you want!

Beautiful “little” journals. I love how easy you made them.

There can only be one Natasha🤗💕. Love your unique outa the box ideas, uplifting quirks so funny, thank you for sharing ideas/tutorials much appreciated🤗💕

I love your litte/tiny/mini journals, and your sense of humor. You make me smile.

None of your little progress things bore me so leave more in. It is mesmerizing to watch all these detailed steps. l am in the hospital recovering from surgery after a fall where l really messed up my knee & l just can’t wait to get home to try a lot of projects. l’m loving these adorable little journals & l have tons of these same materials to make lots of them plus your wonky houses, etc, etc. l love everything l’ve watch so far. lt is just so frustrating to not be home. l shouldn’t be such a clutz. Just found your channel since l got here ( on my ipad) so l’m glad my son brought it up to me. Watching crafting videos keeps my spirits up so thank God for technology, right? Now to get back to your amazing videos. Love you, Katherine

I luv this I'm going to make one to hang on the Christmas tree as an ornament.

There doesn't need to be a reason. Remember, a thing of beauty is a joy forever.

I am thinking I might make one of these for my twins’ SpEd teacher. This year will be their 5th year with her. A sweet little memento of all of the special moments she has had with my boys. It will be our last year with her, as they will go into middle school the next year.

Wow! Perhaps this is exactly what I can make as CHRISTMAS 🎄 gifts for my sisters in CHRIST! Oooh... I'm so excited!! Thanks Natasha... Bcuz I am always watching your videos looking for what I could do for them...Imma try this... yaaay...👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤😊

I really like this idea, even though I don't do journaling. I have been making and collecting small 3x3 "sampler" squares made from designer paper, stamps and ephemera for many years. They've been stored in a box waiting for the perfect project to showcase them. This would actually be perfect. One little book for each year of squares. Can't wait to get started! Yay!

Little, tiny, mini= a great treasure book. Thank you.

What a wonderful way to use all of your little bits and pieces ! You are so creative . 💐

Brilliant tutorial as usual!! I love that you can remove the signatures. You are so creative when it comes to using up off-cuts. I love it!!

Don’t mind at all that you say “little”! I love “little” things! These are so darn cute 💞. Thank you for your creative spirit! 💞💞💞

I think this is one of my favorite videos of yours because of not only the marvelous project, but your encouragement and ideas and approach to creativity. I love that you embrace imperfections and that you adore little things and that you celebrate things that others think of as an offcut or trash...you see beauty all around and gather up the small joys in life. I feel this in my bones, and that's why I keep watching this video and your other videos. I have never made these things, but I have started working on a travel junk journal for my teenage niece who is going on a school trip. I"m using one of your simple projects using scrapbook paper. You see? Your love is circling the globe, and with a such hard world out there, all we can do is bring love to others and embrace small joys. Much gratitude to you.

Dear Natasa....you are an encourager! Just the type person we need in our lives today. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom in a humorous and entertaining way. I enjoy your way with words and you always make me smile. These cute little journals will make sweet stocking stuffers for my grandchildren this year. My budget is very small since I retired, but creating gifts like these give me joy and usually my friends and family are cheerful receivers of anything handmade...I know I am :)

I'd like to add one more thing....two people put 2 thumbs down...it shouldn't be allowed....that's absolutely crazy and absurd. I'm apologizing for their nastiness, Natasha , because it doesn't make sense! Thankyou again for inspiring us junk journal artists, Natasha!

Hi Natasha, I love these mini journals, they are beautiful! You’ve certainly inspired me to do something creative today! 😊 I have a mini journal that I record birds that I see in my garden or when I’m out for a walk. Thanks so much for sharing! 💗

Love these. Little bits and pieces from things of my parents and grandparents….broken jewelry, parts of torn postcards, notes, scribbles, lace bits, pieces of dads ties, pieces of granny’s hankies (not the really nice ones), old newspaper clippings, so many things that would have meaning that are just sitting in a box not being used or displayed. Thank you so very much for the inspiration 🥰

LOVE THESE!!! First thing that popped into my head, was using it for to keep your computer IDs and Passwords. I always forget them!! Its great for anything you write down. Its nice to write shopping list in a beautiful book!! WHY NOT! Thx for great video! You are so inspiring. I love that you use recycling and things we'd otherwise throw away! Austin,TX USA

Ciao Natasa, one of the think I love you so much, one of the reasons that I appreciate so much your video, and I’m sure I’m not the only one , is that you show us many ideas, many possibilities for each project.It’ s very important how you prepare a lot of materials we can use for the projects. You are a great artist, thank you so much for your work and your passion for art! Hugs from Rome!!!

The way you speak makes your videos more enjoyable. Light and happy and just quite so. You have an inviting “teachers” voice. 😊 Also, I’m an avid recycler of scraps for projects. Always been that way, and I collect and love tiny things 😅, so this is possibly going to become one of my favorite creations for jotting down notes and little drawings and making for my children.

Love the little books, might write just one word BRAVE,JOY,LOVE, STRENGTH, love love love it

The lesson is , not to throw away anything. Beautiful work Natasha .

Today I thought "I want to make a mini treasure book for my friend's birthday". Looking for inspiration, I wrote mini junk journal in the search area and your video popped up first (which is what I hoped would happen) 🤩 And as always you don't disappoint. Great tutorial! Such pretty LITTLE treasure books! And your encouraging attitude! 😍 Now I am busy making one! So much fun! Thanks for sharing 🤗🕊️ God bless you!

Yes, you are allowed to say they are beautiful. They are that and more. I love making little books like that and put encouraging words, etc. in them to give away to someone who is going through a hard time and such. Yours has more pages which I love. These are adorable and absolutely perfect. You are going to be busy making those because people will really want them for gifts. So grateful I get to see your talents at work.

Absolutely GORGEOUS , as always Natasha..

These are cute as all get out. I, like you, much prefer to have all those little details dealt with so the product looks more professional and is also as solidly constructed as they can be. Amazon US yields dozens of options when you search for spiral paperclips and gold elastic cord. I'm pretty sure the Amazon sites for other countries probably do as well. These are so eclectic and beautiful. I will probably try doing a few of these in the near future and I can envision adding a pendant bail to the back cover, run some lovely ribbon or cord through it, turning them into a very unique and useful little gift necklace. It might be a bit difficult to find a place to keep them in a purse or pocket where they wouldn't get a bit battered, but hanging over a turtleneck or jumper and they would be such attention getters and conversation openers. Plus they would be quickly at hand to jot down those positive gems that may arise from your conversations that get sparked by the 'little' journal :) Brilliant job, this!

These (little) journals are so darling!!! Thanks for sharing!!

I’ve been trying very hard to work on my inner voice. I have been saying things to myself like, “YOU ARE AMAZING!” It’s crazy but it makes me laugh and it actually does help. Thanks! 😊😊😊

What LOVELY LITTLE adorable journals. They would be perfect as affirmation journals, or to put quotes in and i love that they are made from off cuts and scrappy bits of papers, lace, ribbons, fabrics and jewelry . Great idea and very inspiring. I so love the look of these with the paper sticking out the side all decorated with fancy edges. Thank you for the great tutorial.

Hi, I probably watched this video 4x. Pausing all the way....just had to make notes, because your every detailed discription in the making, is really fantastic. Can actually now say I understand every angle. Some might see just the signiture, I see every tiny, teeny bit been placed in every corner. Color co-ordination also is so important. And yes, it is the most cutest, cuddly journal.Cannot blame you for cradling it in your hands. Love it to bits. 🥰💝

These are my favorite mini books I've seen. Making some soon.

These are adorable. Absolutely special.
