I am not fully sure on fabrics either Carol. I know I love them and I am good with that ♥! Thank you for sharing your haul and hugs!
Hi!!!! I gotta get to your channel! Miss you!
Great happy mail from Sandy!!
It was fantastic!
Great items from the antique stores, Carol! I always love the size of those first little golden books. The Farm ABC’s is simply too precious! Mrs. Hen was super cute, too. Nice fussy cutting in the Audubon guide. Those stencils are very interesting. Great photo album!! Lots of history there ❤❤❤
Thanks - it was a great shopping trip
Have you heard of Dead Fred? It’s a photograph site for genealogists looking for photographs of loved ones and ancestors. I bet they would love scans of some of those old photographs. For instance, I received a photograph of my grandfather from a lady who bought an old photograph album from a flea market in Virginia, such as you did. My mother and I didn’t even know that he had been pen pals with a woman there before he married my grandmother, so that piece of news gave me another fact to put on his timeline at Ancestry. I was thrilled. 😁
Those flash cards would be Dave’s idea of game night. One where he would hands down win without question😮 The red fabric would be more like a 70’s ditsy fabric. I did a vid on feedsack fabric during my #bolobooks from my uppercase book on Feedsack.
I knew you did one but I couldn't find it. I'll look again. And yes, I could see Dave really liking those!
That first package is from a workbook/packet of a student at the school. They practiced filling out the forms and checks and things- they were not traded in the public. The dates are when the fellow was in the business school though! Wish I could have found him somewhere! I'm glad the mail info will come in handy and that you like it! It need to find its next home and yours called out for it! Hugs!
It was absolutely perfect! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it! Thank you my friend!!!
The clouds moving so quickly yet there being no wind makes this video very surreal.
Hi Carol! Cool Cards. I love the mini golden book!😮❤ adorable!! Nice vintage fabrics! Love the red!❤ beautiful stitched runner! ❤ TFS! Hugs❤
Yes - all the reasons why I picked them up ... and I remembered to say something about you/your channel
@@lillyrosebluecaroljohnson1185 😘
G'day Carol, a great haul. I reckon you cant have enough of those griddy bags. Great for storing projects on the move, papers etc. The stamps were cool but love the one with numbers, old typewriter & top hat etc.
Thanks! I've already used the stamps I got...so great! And no, you can never have enough zippy meshy bags!
Haha got to laugh at the coveting because we all love our supplies from friends! Ready to see you use the Tim Holtz dolls!
I'm excited!
Haha! Always good to smile with you. Love the Mushies! What a steal! Now I need a new pack of paper to smell! ❤
It's the best smell ever! Bazill cardstock wins for best smelling paper!
Hi Xarol! Love your cards! Super cool!! TFS! Hugs❤❤
Great backgrounds for sure. Your nephew’s journal will have a lovely grungy look!
Thanks!
Love these!
Thanks!!!
Glad to see you’ve been playing!❤
Interesting way to keep them all upright. I think the pheasant and that masterboard look good together, personally. Very cool!
Thanks!!!
@@lillyrosebluecaroljohnson1185 I emailed you back, I’m looking forward to seeing this journal progress too.
Hi Carol, Astrid Amber Arnold & the triplets 😀. No need to apologise about how you feel or your voice. Gee! 2 months without a recliner thats tough 💜.
I know! Couch surfing it is!
Hi Carol & co hoping you are well. I always love your videos & love all the bits & bobs & stories you tell.
Aw thank you! I love to tell a story
I just love the sound & look of rain. Even the smell of fresh rain 💜. That type of day encourages one to stay in & craft, read a book, bake a cake, drink tea & have a few power naps lol.
Absolutely!
“I know we shouldn’t covet things” made me laugh a little because we all have those special things-- and how sweet of Carrie to share hers.
Yes we do!
So green! My grass is yellow. 😢
Oh no!!!! Sad for yellow grass
Hi Carol!😊 I love the sound of rain! And, I love to sit on the porch during a thunderstorm.🌧⛈️☂️ Tfs!
Me too - I just don't want to get wet! 😫
You are making great progress! ❤u I loved the pheasant ephemera
Thank you! I am trying!
Quotation sticker masterboard is quite nice 👍 early morning crafting is ok 👍 the baged colored trims are great variety. You’re set. A neutral journal might be nice for your nephew in his memory. And your granddaughter sounds like she has a lot of people looking out and care for her ❤ take care of yourself god bless 🩷
Thank you Gardens! I think my plan is to dig into the box that I've been putting things in for my "nephew journals" and just assessing what I have. I tjink neutral might work - at least for a couple of them
😊❤😊❤😊❤
Loved seeing your beautiful trim collection. I might have to consider those bags for some of my supplies. I agree with Carol, most of us are collectors as much as creators. Although, these days gardening has taken over my creating, but I’m still collecting.😂. Carol, I hope you get to feeling better.❤
Good for you and gardening. Thatcis fulfilling
Good to hear updates on your granddaughter. I hope she didn’t over do it. I love your comment about being a collector as much as a creator. I think that’s true of many of us! ❤ Beautiful trims. I see your bags and guess immediately that you’re organizing “Clutterbug style” is a Butterfly. Hee hee. If you haven’t heard of this it just means you are a visual, macro organizer and typical organizing systems sold in stores won’t work for you. You like to see your stuff or you forget about it and you like big, easy access storage (not teeny, tiny, micro categories). I find it fascinating and because my hubby and I are different it’s really helped us find solutions for organizing shared spaces. I’m an organizing geek, lol 😂 but that doesn’t mean I’m always organized! Haha
Yep - that's me exactly!!!
PS - she went to school today. We'll see how it went
Those look like irises.. am I right??
Yes - mostly Japanese Irises
@@lillyrosebluecaroljohnson1185 I have some seeds of those my grandma sent me. Waiting for our next house to plant them. I believe that is the type of flower…. My memory may not be serving me well tonight! Ha
Love the trims with multi colors. You have some beautiful ones. Like the pink and gold. The yellow and purple eyelash trim. What projects aside from the journal dedicated to your nephew are you working on?
Excellent question friend! I'm squirreling at the moment. Making ephemera is my jam lately. I think I'm going to review what I have for my nephew journals, set realistic expectations and just do it. I have to put the final touches on the strawberry journal and make the cover..yikes! Cookbook journal next? Not sure. I need to do an inventory and see. Or - maybe I just need to do eclectic to get the monkey off my back
@@lillyrosebluecaroljohnson1185 I think eclectic is going to be my next focus too. Need to use up some books that are falling apart. We can support one another!
Oh man. So glad Blue is alright. I’m sure that was frightening for her father. Your envelopes are pretty cute. I tend to lean more simple in my preferences for design myself, so I liked then envelope as it was!!
Thanks Sierra! Miss you!
@@lillyrosebluecaroljohnson1185 miss you too, Carol!!
I love the envelopes and they are perfect just the way they are. I would talk to the triplets about that wayward pheasant… 😂 Prayers for Blue! I’m glad it seems she is past the worst of it. 💙🙏🏻
Ooo good idea! I bet the triplets do know where the pheasant went! Thanks for the kind words about Blue
Saying prayers for your granddaughter safe and sound recovery. 🙏💗Amen. Looking forward to seeing the variety of trims! 💛 and yes, crafting helps me keep busy, whether I’m just doing it for fun and enjoyment, or when I’m needing to cope too. It’s great therapy for sure. Take care of yourself too 💛🧡🩷
It is great therapy! Thsnks for your kind words about Blue
Your weekend sounds so fun and I appreciate all you share. Hugs!❤
Thanks - it was sooo great!
It’s fun to see other people’s hanky collection to see how different they all are. You and me have none that are the same! 🩶 hope you are having a good week Carol. Sounds like you had some good family time, especially the game time.
Hope you stay safe and the families affected by the weather…. How terrible.
Hi! Yes - hankies are so fun! We had a WONDERFUL weekend. I feel so blessed!!!!
The hankies, trims it’s all awesome ❤Prayers for everyone to stay safe! Iowa? My husband is from Sioux City, Iowa. Polish your nails that color, it’s a great color. Stay safe 🙏
I love that your husband is from Sioux City - that's fantastic! Thank you for your prayers. This color is my favorite color I think - not quite peach, not quite pink - salmon/coral I think.
It looks beautiful ❤
Show us more trims! ❤❤❤❤❤❤. I’m also a trim collector. I have as much if not more and I glue that stuff to everything! 😄
OK - I can do that :)
Love your hanky collection. I never think to look at hanky’s. Yours are quite beautiful and different. Thanks for sharing 😊 and I’m glad you had such a wonderful time with your family ❤ the weather is interesting and yet eyebrow raising to hear about. I love to hear about it all. Of course I wish the same for you and your family, to Stay safe and have Fun too. Keep us updated on the weather and how people are. I pray for all your families and neighbourjoods safety. Amen 🙏
Thank you Gardens - you are so sweet and just a treasure! I found some of my hankies at a reasonable price. I think that they are getting expensive these days. I'll keep sharing stories as long as you all enjoy them :)
I agree Lake McBride is so zen. Ruby and I spent a lot of time exploring. I’m so glad you suggested it. Dave loved making it his home away from home❤ You are making excellent organizing progress.its funny you said that about the Friday sirens. At 430 I was up and thought I’m never going to get this family out of bed. Dave popped out of bed as soon as soon as his phone went off. Never have I ever had a year of that much time seeking shelter. I pray for anyone with any kind of weather. Love ya friend
Yes - MacBride is Zen - my happy place - my self-reflecting space. I'm so glad you love it too. And yes - toooo many sirens!!!
Love the bird sounds. What a lovely place. Great inspiration for your raptor journal! ❤ 🦅
It is such a specialplace for me and my family. It's where I go when I need to recharge and commune with nature
Thanks for sharing 😀🦋🌿🌿🌿🌿🌳🌳🌳Nature always energizes and rejuvenates me!
It absolutely does! When I need a lift this is where I go
We have a family of about 25 turkey buzzards that come back every year that live in our trees. Our dogs love them especially Halley because she enjoys "chasing" them.
Aww great story! There are a lot of "TVs" in this area as my girls call them. They went to summer camp here and learned so much
Such a beautiful place!
It really is!
Thank you so much!!! Glad you liked it! Hope you are well!
They’re beautiful and so majestic! What a peaceful place. Thanks for sharing this. Bexx 😊
Prayers for the people of Greenfield. Thank you for sharing this with such care and I’m so glad you and Ang were safe!
Thank you Carol
I’m glad you enjoyed the books! I appreciate you sweet friend! Sounds like Adam, Asa and Angel need to stay on a leash. Maybe hang them from a string like a charm bracelet across your goal chart on the wall. They seem to be asking to escape the limelight! Haha😂
Very nice happy mail!
That naughty Adam! Good thing Susanne sent him home for you! I have the same issue with pages being sideways versus up and down. I'm still working on getting used to it.
I don't know why it gets me and confuses me. We'll figure it out together!
I tend use my hands and get messy too! So fun! I bought a kit when I retired and I’ve yet to get my nails painted. 💅🏻 Barn cleaning, animals, garden, crafting, I’m so hard on my hands!! This looks like a really fun concept for the graffiti rolls though. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for letting us know you're okay. I'm praying for everyone in Greenfield!
Thank you my friend!
