you start you see if i was talking like a proper brom you see i'd be talking like this and then i definitely would sound it's the inflection in the inflection car could you be not posh for your big words not just the pronunciation okay i shall take that into advisement it doesn't matter i don't hear the difference yeah in brummie accent is very sing-songy we're very up and then belly down and then up and then down so yeah oh thank you thanks and so yeah i guess we we sing as we're talking carol rushes off to book election lessons yeah said that [Laughter] i think i'm too old what's up it's

mom who obviously lives in birmingham and has got a very brummy accent so i might have a little bit more of a twang today because i've been talking to a singer wake up sing away night because i'm a bit rubbish at singing okay i am going to flip you over because there's nothing more to tell on um on gate and i don't want to jinx it touch wood um but i use me spray and at the moment touching all the wood around me there's been no so i hope they've kind of got the message but i i do walk around the house still like before i enter the room i'm a bit like giving it all the ones over you know looking at the ceilings and the walls and the floors and and then some stupid people keep putting up bloody spider pictures on bloody facebook oh the tart ass uh sylvan what time is it with you now hello there bezzy behind you no don't say that boring no i didn't place the walnuts could you imagine walking on a carpet of walnuts not happening okay i'm gonna flip you around so for those of you

right place so i'm just gonna move it about a little bit my square on all right that will be maybe let's give that a go oh that's a bit skewing let me just get you set up right [Music] yeah that's better okay those with wobbly eyes can look back now hello from british columbia in canada it's presently 10 a.m in the morning quarter past six in the evening here hello there helen in norway um just before i do start a couple of things i want to say thank you so much for everyone that's been watching the inspire videos and you've been going over to um the youtube channels that i've been sharing with you i'm going supporting those um those youtubers it's very much appreciated i've had messages from each of the people so far that have done this um and a couple of them have mentioned in more recent videos that they've made how how much of a difference is made to them in terms of the number of views that they've had on a video the number of subscribers that they've now got um [Music] so yes it's working thank you so much for doing that and of course the other big thank you that i need to do is for those that have been buying me cups of coffee well we say cups of coffee but i'm i'm saying it's really a cup of tea because i i only really drink me brew so um so thank you very much is that a place that you're working on it looks like wood it's um an art board and it's got sticky back plastic on it cathy cathy oh sorry i do want to keep calling you kathy sorry cathy um so yeah sticky back plastic but wouldn't it be lovely to have a complete work surface made out of this properly out of wood we are being very international have you noticed on group when i asked about um [Music] say hello and where you're all from where are you from number one what's your name and where you're from that's me holding my microphone what's your name number one and where'd you live um that's been truly international as well so that's been quite interesting okay let's make a start instead of gabbing on um at the beginning at the beginning of the year begin at the end of last year i can't even remember now when i started it but um i started this butterfly journal and i did the um [Music] digital kit so i showed that in the original video um and because of covid because of uh doing the rocky journals because of moving house because of all of those things i've never got around to doing any more to this journal and i want to get it done and dusted um bonjour cattle that's the point karen do you speak french cameron lives in uh canada by the way um so well she's saying hello in french but i don't know whether she actually parlays in the old francaise so yes so i want to um do some more work on this um [Music] i have got a playlist up of what i've done so far may we [Music] say boy um [Music] there's two videos in that playlist so you can tell can't you it's a massive playlist but the the two playlists are there are um things that i've already done and created that's on this pile here so i'm going to do a quick um review of those and i want to show you as well this is let me move that out the way if i've got any room i've got no room left on my table i've got stuff everywhere this bit's clear everywhere else is it complete and not a mess say see [Music] so this is the paper mailer that came with some goodies for me from amazon and i have been looking for these paper mailers everywhere and can't find them the reason why i've been looking for this particular one is because it's inside of here did i i must have opened up an end somewhere no can't find it is it there no anyway i've opened it up somewhere and it isn't the plastic bubbles that's inside it's actually cardboard or paper discs that are sat in here um which means that it's totally recyclable but what i love about it is i love the color of it but it's got a gorgeous crinkle sound to it because i'm of zombie bought them all up my boat um [Music] so i'm going to use one of these as my cover so it was like this and then you opened up the flap and then i opened it up and out so i'm going to cut off one half and use one of the halves as my cover but i'm going to come on to that next week because next sunday i want to finish this blooming journal off i've had enough of it sitting around so next week i'll be showing you how i'm going to make this into the cover and put everything all together this is the signature because i'm just doing it as a single signature although i'm saying that with the amount of stuff that i've made on this pile over here i could probably do about three journals um so this is just the single signature that i'm putting in i might add another page or two to it it depends on how i get on this evening um but just to show you this again was you know the paper packing that comes in with your amazon orders it's just a piece of that and it was the one that's it's perforated every so often so um i took a piece of that i've got some lovely fabric with butterflies on and i just photocopied it on top to just try it out but um don't it look lovely and effective and in actual fact i'm not going to show you up close because you probably won't see it but it's actually got the fibers of the fabric in it it's printed the fibers out as well so i'm really pleased with how that turned out so that's one of the pages in there now in the videos that i've done previously that are in the playlist i showed this was a paper bag and i showed you what i did with that and then inside of it there's a long almost like tag but it's a booklet so it's got some loads of long strips of coffee dyed paper in there so that was one of the things in the video that i showed and then this was the other thing which was a decorated paper bag so there's the pocket of the paper bag there and i showed how i went about decorating this up and then if i flip it over that's the other side of the decorated paper bag as well um so again that opens up and there's a little journaling card in there now i left it let me put that back that way so that these vellum cards here which were from a tim holtz pack you could actually insert like maybe a little mini tag in there um so that that's been left open to add a little extra something in there and the same with the one on the back as well so that was covered in the same video as that paper bag and then this is the next one i need to add this actually to the playlist this is one of the inspire videos that i showed uh using [Music] i want to say rita jensen am i right hang on let me just check yes so this was showing um rita jensen's project that she did and i've just put a little tiny bulldog clip on there and so this flips out this way and i've yet to finish decorating those and then it flips out that way and then there's some pockets here to add tags and things but i've attached it in such a way that there's um these journaling cards can sit underneath there as well so i need to add that to the playlist but that was not this friday just gone but the friday before it was the inspire video so i'm just going to sit that on there keep that in place and i think that that's about it for what i put into the journal pages but in the last live video that i did with regards to this um [Music] here's some of the things that i made so there's a great big pile of things so you can see why i'm saying there's probably enough here to do three videos so one of the things i did in this live video that's in the playlist and i don't want to keep repeating myself but it sounds like i am i showed how i made these popper envelopes but these are matted with um a matte laminating sheet but i only put the laminating sheet on the outside on the pattern side so that it pops open and there's a pocket on the inside and i talked about and showed how to put the poppers on as well so this was the other one that i've done so that that pops open and then there's some journaling cards all in there so i showed that in the live i showed um i think i showed these yeah i showed this one where i punched at the top and there's a pocket in the top there so that you can add that to your page these were some others that i just did that was another one so that that flips up um [Music] this one was the uh library card i don't think i showed how to make this but i did talk through this one so it was just a piece of the background card and then i attached a pocket and wrapped the edges of the pocket round to the back uh decorated it up this one i showed on the live as well how i went about decorating this up and this was using printing the background paper onto sticky labels so i used the sticky label there and i think that was a sticky label as well so i talked about all of that this is a little booklet that i made so all of these are made from the digital kit and all the background papers are from the digital kit as well so you can buy it's in three three parts i think butterflies one butterflies two butterflies three but then i've done a butterflies four which is all collectively together one two three and four all together together with some tags so you can modify the individual sets excuse me the individual sets or you can buy all of the sets together as one as one pack but in the all together and one pack you get the tags the tags are not available in set one two or three does that make sense i hope that makes sense um another little booklet another little booklet um these were my um petite pochette for the french french canadians amongst us and for some reason i've lost the little tiny tags that were inside of them but um jessica very kindly sent me this gold embossed uh tim holtz what are they called impression impression blitz imprint yeah it's from one of those um and she did it on gold card so those are little mini pockets for some mini tags that was one of the tags from the kit this one um this one i'm going to put some glue on the back here and this opens up and it reveals two little pockets here and here so that they've got tags inside there and there and then when it closes up there's a pocket here as well so i'll talk about that one too and then on top of that these are some other things that i've done since i did the video um [Music] so i put two of the butterfly journaling cards onto this lovely bronzed metallic card so i didn't do anything fancy with these apart from just sticking them onto this card um i had a little bit of spare paper so i cut it into a triangle ready for a pocket this one was a full page and i cut cut it off you know just cut that bit off as a triangle there and in fact that's probably where this came from i probably used you know what that part of that section that i cut off so i'm going to stick that on as a pocket in the journal and you'll see me do that in a minute and then i made this long booklet again just some of the background paper attached one of the images onto some black card and then attached that to the front added this label on and then just added some coffee dyed papers on the inside so that was real simple to do um so i've made lots ready for it and as i say i'm kind of ready now to get this done dusted and finished i just want to make a couple more elements up let me just get my cup of tea um i just want to make a couple more elements up that i want to show you today and then i'm going to add a couple to the signature so that you can kind of get a little bit of a feel for it any questions so far look at you max talking in spanish i've just spilt my tea down my chin how did i manage that oh a mucky pup oh yeah so in the last video called myself a dozy moo and the lady went did you just call yourself a dozy mo she said i've never heard that before yeah it's just a polite way of calling yourself a silly and then you name the animal that makes the moo sound because that kind of doesn't sound quite nice whereas if you call someone a dozy moo it's got a friendlier connotation to it um love the beautiful details and your creativity thank you very much shannon um hello there lorraine was listening on the radio as i drove much better with the video um okay no one seems to have any questions for me so i'm going to make a little start all right all right all right all right so first thing i just want to quickly again just talk to you about is these are the little folded wallets that i showed on friday evenings video so i want to decorate this up with just bare with i've got as i said i've got stuff everywhere this is my butterfly journalist and it's got all sorts of odds and sods in it so i've got all these leftover little bits here that i thought i could use to decorate this up i've been got this bronze copper sparkly all right let's have a look see what's what and i've got where'd he go where's he gone and a butterfly all sorted out ah just talk amongst yourselves a second while i try and find it that it there it is there we go i've got this lovely butterfly from off the kit that i've just cut out so i thought it'd be quite nice to add that on there so this seems to be around about the right size and then i think if i add that on there as well right paper trimmer let's see what size i'm going to need it so three inches and trim that bit off there let's do it to three and one-eighths i'm gonna make and gonna cotton pick a minute i want it that way it's three inches all right oh good job i didn't cut then isn't it let's chop that off chop that down let's do three and an eighth for now so i can always trim a bit more off if needs be all right just take that little edge off and this um was a stamped image so i've got a really big stamp um and i just printed the whole thing onto or stamps the whole thing onto this piece of card so if i just ink that up and then that can go on there actually i might want to trim that down just a fraction more scissors right i am going to be ignoring chat for a little bit because i need to consecrate on what it is that i'm doing and if i'm chatting i'm looking at chat so you're gonna have to talk amongst yourselves for a little bit just once i get in the zone so that's better so now i've got a little bit of a border going round glue glue glue i'm just going to use my glue stick to put this on the front just purely because it's nice and quick and easy to do making sure i put it the right way up and then i might i might just put that in the middle actually and not do too much decorating on this and you've got those those little packs i was talking about look at one of these so maybe i could do a little bit of layering maybe a piece of the graph paper look now disappears i do that the wedding has got nothing to do with oh that one might be nice yeah because it's got the greeny blue as well which goes with the butterfly yeah quite liking that all right let's make sure there's nothing else quite like that one too no i like the green blue one because i think it goes well with the with the flutter by and i'm going to just ink up around the edge just to give it that little bit of definition otherwise it can end up blending into the background sometimes again we'll just put a bit of this on it's had a phone call i had a like a facetime call with my daughter yesterday and um two of the granddaughters she's dyed all their hair so let's have a look at all their dyed hair so the eldest of those granddaughters um [Music] she has just finished school and she's gone off to college and um she's really come out of her shell with it all and she's starting to get a little bit of her own personality shining through and um she's my daughter shaved all her hair for her so she's got what's called an undercut which is the you know the top of her hair is long but all underneath is is shaved really short and she's got it short on one side and long on the other side on the top and i thought my god this reminds me of my um new romantic days you know duran duran and all of that because that's how i used to have my hair short on one side and long on the other and um but she's dyed the top part of her hair bright pink i mean like bright pink and uh next granddaughter down she's had her hair dyed red but it's got to be a a very carefully dyed red because um she's still at senior school and uh looks looking for my pen and so she's not really allowed to have you know these really bright and vivid colors so it's sort of a a bit of a subtle red and then my daughter has dyed her hair black but um a jade it's got jade in it as well so it's a jade black if that makes sense so they've all gone a little bit with their hair colors and then tonight when my other granddaughter gets home because she's got three girls and a little boy when the other daughter gets home from her dad's they're all having a bit of a girly night and doing face masks which i think is a's okay so i'm alright with that as a front and then i might even add this to these two pockets in here so if i cut that in two there's probably enough there so let's trim that down and then that ties the inside to the outside makes it all cohesive all right let's see about folding it in half see where that halfway point is there and the other thing that i might do is inverted punch there we go this is um a small sample of my punches these are the ones that i use a lot of so i keep these at the side of me it's all these strong creative mum role models it sure is better say um oh it's going to be too big so when i do that one oh what a shame why aren't you going in properly oh fiddler dead lady oh that didn't even cut properly didn't think it was coming in properly fiddlesticks it's moving about inside it's not going in right anyway either way it's too big so i can't use that now darn it i think that would love me on there and that would look lovely on there so what i might have to do now is stick them still in place but put something else on top of that to cover that bit over where there's a will there's a way so it's going in anyway so even if you make a mistake you can always do something with it what was that maureen saying can you remember my hair going through everything from white to black and everything in between i i had mine dyed um a really deep burgundy color loved it loved it i felt i was so so grown up making the decision in the first instance to have it done and then being grown up enough to be going to have it done didn't you that um i was just mega impressed with myself that i was able to do it and i think it's it's at that point we were saying me and my daughter that it's once you leave school you haven't got to fall into that conformity of you know what you're studying what you've got to wear how you've got to behave you can actually start to make some adult choices um and you're allowed to sort of make those adult choices whereas before that when you're at school you just can't you're not allowed so that's why we think she's now sort of starting to come into her own really seeing as she's now you know able to make those decisions that she wanted her hair short because she said to a mom can i have and sh and my daughter said to her of course you can do your hair nearly 17 years of age it's your decision if you look stupid with it though that's up to you you know that was your decision to have it done um so you have to take the consequences of if it doesn't look right you've got to carry on wearing it because she said you know i've got to allow her to to start making those choices now right let's see if i can cut this butterfly out to fit on here to cover over that mistake i don't know if it's going to do it we'll give it a go i'm going to leave a fair bit of board around see if i can cover over that mistake i've cut off its antennae now apparently gail was saying in one of her videos that it's quite difficult to craft and talk and she's right it is see if i put it on that way it fits covers over that mistake if i put it on at an angle maybe like that yeah i can cut a little bit more of that border off i'm saying to my mum and brother today because we have a we have a weekly little conflab on facetime um i've watched that many series of late nothing left to watch so i've got to find myself a new decent series to watch now i finished watching the handmaid's tale and um what else did i watch recently a mate's tale i want janelle can't remember now i've watched that many series and the thing is i don't know about you guys but i can't watch just one episode and then wait the following till the following week for the next episode because that to me is like watching the film that has no conclusion and um so i have to watch them all so next on my list is help which is um [Music] on i think it's on itv isn't it at the moment um which looks really good but i'm waiting until there's been about three or four episodes of it before i start to watch it because i don't want to just wait you know watch one and then go off and uh have to wait another week for the next one okay i think i can cover that over i think i'll be quite happy with that new book page is gone and like we said last time i don't have to ink absolutely everything up i'm not going to ink this butterfly up put it on as it is there we go see you wouldn't know would you but i'd mess that bit up so that works well and then that's ready to then go in the journal so then i can slot some things inside of those pockets there and i might even add a little pocket on the back maybe if i've got a little scrap of something left i might add a little pocket on the back so that's another thing to add to um oh i know what i need to do i need to add a closure onto it in fact this will do so in fact if i cut up there and then to wrap that round i'm going to wrap it around loosely because by the time i've put stuff inside of it it'll be quite padded out in fact i think what i might do is i'll leave that one stuck for now and i'll just put a little bit of micropore on there to hold it in place so that i don't lose it because that is a likelihood i just put the microphone on there to hold that for now and then that's a little in fact if i turn it over that way you can see it better look so that just will slide along the booklet and it'll slide off the edge so then i can get access to the inside of that and then that can then just sit back on top so by the time i put bits and pieces in there i'll know then how much i need to bend that piece of card so that piece of micropore will just hold that in place for the time being okay celebrity onto project number two all right ian let me just get it in kit number two of the butterfly um digital kit there is this page with these three elements on now you could cut those out individually or you could do what i've done here so i just cut them as one long strip and i'm going to stick this part to the journal page and then fold those up because then it can be opened up that way and written on underneath or it can be opened that way to reveal other parts here okay so in fact i'm going to stick this one on a journal page so let's choose one in fact where's that little booklet gun i've just made there let's just slot you inside that bag there so i might then i can use that so if i attach that on there this bulldog clip here is holding that fold out there so to have it there now i'm going to put it at the back so let me flip it over and it can never i can have another clip on there so i'm going to have that on that page all right ink it up so sometimes when when we buy digital kits we just see for exactly what it is whether it be an envelope a journaling card a pocket and sometimes you need to look at things in a slightly different way and think how else you could use it so just because the designer has put it down as an envelope doesn't mean you've got to make it into an envelope just because the designer has made it into journaling cards doesn't mean that that's what you have to use it for so it's about letting your imagination run away with its little self and creating something with it um it's not there at the moment mary because this is on live but underneath any of the other videos that i've done the link will be there but i can't add links underneath live videos until the live is finished but they're underneath any of the other youtube videos so let me just think about this i'm going to add this at the bottom because it then gives the um impression that it's a pocket of which it will be because if i flip this over and attach glue on the back on the three sides and then attach that to the bottom of the page it will now form that pocket to put something in in the top there put that back in in position and then if i get a tab look in my tab box hmm it's just starting to go dark here so i'm hoping that you can see okay so the natural light is going i'm going to use that one i'm gonna ink this up to give it a little bit of definition and i can even add a button on it once it's in place all right and add that tab on the bottom i could even add a magnet under underneath so that it was um a magnet would then hold it in place but i've only just thought of that so i now can't and then that can sit there make sure i've got that in the middle oh it's falling off there we go and then as i say i can add a little button on there and then that will pull that down and lift that up i might add you see really if i was really thinking about it before i glued this down i would have added a little magnet under there but i might be able to slip one in from the top of the pocket here and add a little magnet there and then add a little one here so that the magnet will then hold that in place okay how are we doing um i don't know how long we've been going for nearly an hour okay there's just one more thing that i really want to show you uh two more things sorry a lady asked me about this butterfly that i used here for the belly band shed where did it come from came from my digital kit and that's it um i can't remember which set it was in i can't remember it's in one of the sets you just have to buy all of them i can't remember um okay next thing i wanted to show you was the other day um just trying to think what was it what was it journal there we go that's just here to the side and we were talking about this so that little page and i said it was really easy to recreate because some people were saying how did you do that well i didn't i purchased it as part of a pack and julie actually had to go at doing it didn't you julie and they came out lovely and so i thought today would be an ideal day in fact let's see if i've got the word butterfly in here because that would nicely tie it together see if i know my alphabet now oh i'm in a pqr butt butter butterfly butterfly well it starts with buttery and then the butterflies there but the word butterfly is here okay i'm not doing that i'm gonna leave it i just want a simple text page there we go let's rip this one out this is an old dictionary so it comes with some of the pictures in so it was the westminster dictionary it's like a almost like a kiddies one and i'm going to glue this to some coffee dyed paper so this is my coffee dyed paper with doilies and dots i've separated them all out let's do a dotty one it's not very dotty is it oh that's basic matters all right i'm going to glue this onto there because the coffee dyed paper would just give it that little bit of extra support because it is such delicate paper which is why i'm being careful putting the glue on because i don't want it to tear i think i've got and everywhere i can sit that on there and that is now supported by that coffee dyed paper all right so let's just get that sheet out so you can see and you can see what i'm trying to recreate there we go so that's what i'm trying to recreate there so i got out i've got a pile of stuff just off to the side so i got my flowers out sticker flowers because it's such a big page i think i want a nice what a nice big bucket of flowers mrs bouquet let's see what we've got in here see i don't think that's big enough no that one sadly oh is that big enough right i don't think there's any big ones in there what about that fuchsia now then i have got in here somewhere there were some really big big ones that i didn't like because they were too big so let's have a look at the eyes not too small oh that one's quite nice i even have to add two to get a little bit of a decent effect let's add one for now saves you waiting on me messing about trying to find the right one they're too big a bit big and garish don't like that okay and this is why i'm going to be leaving it in a minute because my desk is getting smaller and smaller all right let's add this one on this is the bit i hate doing this bit because it's such a pain in the backside to get off and then it all starts curling up i think i had a corner then oh i do i do and even if you peel just part of it off it still starts to curl up come come come come there we go so i'm going to try and part peel it like that so i've got the plastic at the back curled back on itself it definitely needs a bit more floral on it and then um marty mays andrea very kindly she's she's got quite a lot of freebies in fact not quite a lot she's got a lot of freebies on her uh on her website um but she's also got um lots on her facebook group as well and one of them is of bees bumblebees so what i'm going to do i think these are too big mind you they're smaller you mean your money mow i'm going to cut a couple of these out and i've printed them onto vellum so it means that when i attach them to the book page the text is going to show through so what is that there's one that way one that way and then we want one more over this side and then we have literally recreated that book page now if you've got um a copier photocopier what you could do is photocopy this book page but reduce it in size so that it's a lot smaller and then you could print several to a page so let's just put some glue on the back of these pieces of vellum let's follow this again so that you can see how you can use something as inspiration so we've got one going that way on that way come on that way now i know that i'm doing um a butterfly journal and these have got these on for some lid i don't care it's going in my book uh okay julie what you're on about will probably be in carol's amazon affiliate link what was i what what do what all right signature picture that's just just the right width to go on in there um these might be too wide oh the vellum actually yes i have got ellen but ellen i have got vellum in my amazon affiliate link so let me just measure how long i need oh it ripped that one very clever was it good job i was going to rip it anyway and that can go in there which can then flip up i think it's a bit more on there so in fact if we add that bit on there and the other bit that ripped sorry lots of shadows now because the sun has gone in completely and you're now getting the reflection from my ceiling light that's what i can only do about an hour an hour and a half on these until i get my curtains up and then i can get my big lamp out but i don't want to put my big lamp in the window for all to see a little bit more on there and then that'll hold that in place so you can see now i've now got a flip up and then i've got this to write on the back off still got the page in use and i've created or recreated the effects of that would have been nice with a bit more flowers on and i might have a proper search through my flowers and and maybe add a few more on there um and i might even see about i've got a tub of butterflies so i might even add a butterfly on there um which will then tie it all together yeah that one might work so i think if i had um some more flowers on there and then color this in a little bit and then it sort of ties it all together with the butterfly getting you could pull out and use some of the butterfly stamps well that i'm going to come on to next week because i want to decorate it up with all these elements that i've made i want to put my signature in my cover and then in places like here you know i would add a little bit of stamping maybe here i mean you could use the stamps on the book page as well because as you've seen this is a stamped image from stampin up so you could use it um as i say i was just trying to really recreate that page which had got the bees on um i haven't got a b stump so that's and i saw those on on artie maze and i thought they are going to be perfect for recreating that so i am going to sign off now i'm going to um once this is uploaded i'll add the link to the playlist for all the other videos that i've done to date of all these different things that i've made for this journal um so you know the paper bags um so i covered those a lot of those decorative elements that i've got off to the side that i showed you in the beginning um that's in the other live the video that i did and then next week i'll come back and i'll finish off doing all the odds and sods and putting it all together so then it's it's basically done okay has anybody got any questions that they would like to ask me well i just have a slope on my so as i say i am sorry but the lighting's going now uh wrangled to life thank you for always sharing and inspiration in fact let me just spin this round um so i want to do that and then that oh again see look my hair's drying off now there we go got a bit of vavavoom about my hair now um oh thank you judith but i love you carol uh this flop well let me just so julie's just put up about liking and

for wendy um now just to say i really enjoyed this okay um you know it with any youtuber if i know a lot of people go like oh you know i don't share a picture but it helps us out so much um if you can share just one single picture and say i was inspired by you're allowed on most groups to say i was inspired by sharing links to videos can sometimes be a little bit some groups don't like you doing that um but you could ask an admin or a moderator um of any groups that you belong to if you're allowed to share that kind of thing but it really does help us youtubers if you can do that okay um you're very welcome jenny uh as i say there's there was lots going on today because it was previous projects that i've done um and i do want to add them but it it's just a shame now that the lighting's gone so yucky because otherwise i would have carried on and showed you how i would have added some of those elements to the journal um oh missy jessica's here just joined in oh no as i've

been doing and and it can bring sort of five or six people and then those five or six people could then share and then another five or six from each of those five to six will come along and it helps
