I love that you keep your mishaps in. It lets us know that we all make mistakes 😂💕

[Junkjournal]

I love how you own it when you've done something not the way you meant, and than make it work for you. I love these little tag books! Yet another project to add to my ever growing "jj I want to make" list.

[karenkettering]

Barbara, it doesn't matter how much trouble you have or don't have in your projects. You are always a blast to watch!!

[joniwilliams]

I think what makes your vlogs so wonderful (besides the fantastic content!) is that you share all the “oops “ moments lol😂 I don’t know how many times I’ve slapped my forehead or sat back and pondered how I could get out of a predicament 🤔! You are beyond inspirational!

[jeanneblondewomanstamping]

Love how your book turned out! Yes, I did one journal using tab binding. It was so confusing, but I got through it. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 Glad to see I’m not the only one who struggles with the tabs. ☺️🤣🤣🤣

[wrenbayley]

I think what makes “oh no!” moments so funny is that it’s so relatable! I mean, it’s literally the exact same response I have when I mess up.

[donnaarsenoff]

Your videos are so interesting. I think of all the junk journal makers you make the most varied journals. I love the different sizes, themes, and types of binding. ❤

[ebknight]

It’s always fun when you get something unexpected. 😊 Thanks for sharing.

[blackcoffeeandwildflowers]

I love it! Even the “oh noos!” 😂. I have done the tab binding on two very small journals. Maybe a fourth size of yours. And I love it! It was a great way of getting some practice in. But I do want to venture into a little bigger journal. I love the idea of using tags like you did. I think it’s a perfect size. You always give us such amazing inspirations. I remember the first one and I thought it was just gorgeous. You just did it again, and it’s like it’s all new inspirations. Just fabulous! Hugs 🤗❤️

Lovely little journal. I like that you did the Alice theme. Such wonderful little touches.

[annepayne]

Beautiful little journal, so full of goodness. ❤I have done tab binding, both like you did here and in an accordion style. My first attempt the binding was too loose. I love how it lays flat.

Hello Barbara! This is my first time commenting (not because I don't absolutely LOVE all you do, I just never know what to say). The reason for this comment is to let all your viewers know that I just got the lifetime membership (using your code of course) and I love it! I'm sure all your viewers will too. So worth it! Thank you for all you do I truly look forward to your videos. Have a very blessed and beautiful day! Love from Las Vegas NV (USA)

[malindahatter]

I just love this little guy! I learned how you spruce up your paper by stenciling, stamping and adding texture paste and sewing.

[susanmorales]

I’m braver today than I was when I watched you make the last tab journal. So, yes, I will be trying my own very soon. I will start gathering my materials tomorrow. I can’t wait! Thanks for the encouragement.

[susaneddins]

I love this idea. My niece loves Alice in Wonderland and this would make a perfect gift. It would be my first time trying this kind of binding. ❤❤

[swannwillow]

Every time you say "oh no" I smile because that's my most spoken word in my craft room. Beautiful little journal. TFS 😊❤

[charleneperry]

Barbara, you are my biggest inspiration and the reason I started making junk journals and mixed media art. Thank you so much for what you do! Because of your amazing talents and entertaining videos, I have found my artistic release after many years of feeling I have lost my “mojo”. It’s not quite a year since I watched my first 49dragonflies video, and I am now addicted, anxiously awaiting new eye candy every few days!

I did recently try this tab binding on a tag book, much inspired by your original project and I loved the results!! Seeing this new one makes me want to try again!! This is just beautiful!

Again, thank you for inspiring me to pick up an artistic interest again. It has been a fun and enriching hobby which has been long-needed 💕 Sending big hugs from Canada and can’t wait to see what’s next!!

[karenkettering]

So Pretty!! Shabby Soul does this technique on purpose with her accordion journals, where the sides don't line up. She then takes advantage of the difference and adds things to the sides to fill out the extra space. It's lovely!

[brendaholmes]

Dear Barbara, thank you so much for sharing your real moments. I’d been having some tough days because of a recent loss and woke the same today but with the notification of your new video. Coffee and a few minutes in and I’m completely out of my blues talking back the video trying to save you from another “ oh no” moment and giggling so hard.
Did you realize that your videos are very interactive??
And yes I’ve made several tab bound journals since your first video on them but was so inspired today I’ve decided that’s the journal style I will use to save some very old tiny photos of my mom and my sisters. Thank you for the joy and laughter and inspiration!
Muah, muah! 🥰😁

[christelvaneyssen]

You are one of my top favourite YouTubers to watch, because you are so relatable! I find your voice in my head when I make a mistake saying “oh no!”
