thanks Deb!

Ellen... I saw you had commented twice but had to take a closer look to realize it was for two different projects! thanks for scrolling back!!

A cute little update!

Thanks Ellen!!

thank you Sandi!!

Jill, I don't think you're alone in being hesitant to use them... a lot of my customers are too, but they really are this easy! I think misting them first (before applying them) gives a better adhesion and crisper image so definitely include that step and don't forget to save them after removal... you can use them an additional 2-3 times - getting a slightly more faded look each time - great as backgrounds for other crafting projects!!

@@QueenBeeCreations Thank you for the advice!

You're not alone Patti! I think that most of my customers are hesitant! There are a couple of steps but... they are really quite straight forward. Treat them like paint when applied... you can sand, distress and re-engage the paint too so it you are trying to match up the patterns from one sheet to the next and don't quite make it you can use a small wet paint brush to re-engage the paint and fill the gap. This also allows you to 'fix' areas if needed.

Thanks for sharing that!! I have to say I love the 'practical' nature of the glue book... the functional purpose behind it. I'm all about taking something others would deem as junk, or garbage, and turning it into something with a new life and purpose and that's what the glue book does for me!

Yes they are. I learned to do junk journals but with actual junk and recycled materials and it is soo much fun!

Jasmine... I think that was the intention of the junk journals to start... and the version I love best! Now there are packages and layouts to purchase which seems less like 'junk' to me!!

Wendy... it's one of those that you can't understand why you didn't think of this sooner!!

Terri... I have given junk journals a try... and really love and appreciate the work that some people put into them but... I have a hard time justifying the time spent with the lack of true purpose and use. It's a 'me' thing but... I was so excited to hear about Glue Books... they use an 'old' book as a base and don't require an investment of $$$ into buying and gathering all kinds of specialized layouts and ephemera to complete. Sure... you can add in some if you've got 'em or want to, but the idea of these if focused more on their 'usability' and 'purpose'. It's more content driven. I'm going to be using this idea many times in my future and, for someone like my granddaughter, I think they make great (and easy) little memory books for kids. How great for her to look back on what she, as an eight year old, found important to glue into hers... the songs she liked then, the quotes, the pictures of toys or games or activities...

@@QueenBeeCreations my thoughts exactly!! Thankyou for doing all the leg work including a great idea to start with.

Junk Journals tend to be more about the creation process... almost creating a little vignette with each page... but these... soooo usable! A way to collect your ideas, thoughts, inspiration without a lot of the fuss. The pages can be decorated... or not... totally up to you since it's more as a repository of information for you! I'm going to finish filling this one but I am thinking I might want to have multiples at some point... different crafts for different seasons....!!!

Yes, absolutely!

Thank you! 😊

thanks Wendy... good to be back!! I was getting a little antsy while away...!!!

Absolutely!! To balance the weight and give more storage!!!

Thank you! 😊

Thanks Jewel!!!

Definitely! I use twine and jute a lot but you could swap them out for anything on a spool!

Thank you Patti... pretty practical for a craft area

Thanks Carrie, it's come in useful around here already!

Thank you for this! There are always options and alternatives available… I like to show them to you so you can keep on crafting!

Thanks Wendy! A little break from the sun to visit the dump but exciting to find a new treasure!

Really Toni... every dump should have a Re-Use shed... it could save a lot of items from going into the landfill unnecessarily!

@@QueenBeeCreations agreed!

That's the same for me too, it's why I get excited when I head up here for the week!!

Cathy... there were some truly great finds... nothing too much on the sunday after I had finished this video but it's always a 'timing' thing... the best is to be there right when someone is unloading!!

Glad you found us!! Lots of back videos for you to pick and choose from and three new videos a week... lots in store for you!!!

I did switch out the first bow but... still not sold on the second one!! Sheesh!

Hi Debra - thanks for watching! I try not to show you the 'stuff' that I think is absolutely straight forward - I don't think you need to watch me spray or hand paint something a single colour... and definitely not watch me paint the whole thing! I'm assuming you're here for some tips and ideas = and how-to's when they matter... Glad it works for you!!

Thank you Debi - an easy project - really turns out nice!

I like it too!!

IOD does have a mould with a queen Bee on it you can check out...

Thank you for this. I think your time is valuable and try to put into the videos the value filled moments.. not segments that are self explanatory to only boost watch time!

I know..... the second one was better but... still not 'it'!

Michele... totally agree... I changed it out!!

No soaking... wipe with a damp towel is okay. (definitely no dishwasher!)

Thanks Brenda... something a little different!

I loved how these ultimately turned out (though a messy process along the way!!) Great way to recycle the old boots!

@@QueenBeeCreations They are awesome! I can’t wait to try it.

Thanks Sue... I'm kinda digging the Fruit Loops idea now myself!!!

Thank you... a nice, quick little makeover!

I believe that there is such a thing as a leather-filler... that is paintable. It's for filling small holes like you're describing. Try a search on Amazon and see what comes up... Leather-filler is the phrase that comes to mind... as opposed to leather patches, which you don't want.

Terri... this makes me so happy!! I was thinking that it was funny the barrier to not painting with watercolour was a perceived inability to draw. Or... that after spending forever getting a sketch just right... being reluctant to practice with the paints lest you 'ruin' the sketch!! This takes care of both those fears! If it's your sketch... photocopy it and print it out multiple times... no worries about 'ruining' it!! If you can't sketch (or that's a separate skill to practice!) then grab a sketch from someone else to practice and play with!!

Definitely... the 'Father Nature' would look great mounted on a tree!!!

Kathy... I'm so happy that this idea works for you! We always need to find work arounds that allow us to keep creating and doing what we love!

Thanks Ellen!!

That's what I think too... no stress in messing up your own drawing and you can 're-do' the same image over and over to perfect a technique or to try new and different and compare!

Thank you Pauline!!!

Thank you for that Deb... I know I have some that only want me to share a 'perfect' and 'practiced' video from start to end but... I am doing these projects in real time with you! Plans change along the way from what you envision... perhaps because my execution isn't up to plan. Maybe the vision was off. Maybe the stars weren't aligned... but it's real. I'm completing these things for the shop or simply because I want to give them a 'go'... but I think that's what my viewers are doing too! It's okay to mess up, it's okay to change plans and pivot mid way. Not showing that I think creates expectations that, when not realized, lead people to quit something mid way or, even worse, never start. I want people to wade in, get messy and enjoy the experience of the creative process. Hopefully that's what they want too.

@@QueenBeeCreations 💕 Exactly! That's what I hope you will keep doing. Happy Friday ~ 🌿

Patti... sending big hugs your way! Hope everything goes as it should for you today. In my world it means you deserve ice cream today - in yours you deserve whatever treat makes your heart happy!!

Hey there Ellen... thanks for watching!

thanks Wendy!!!
