What I want to do this post about.

 I'm sitting here trying to figure out what I want to do this post about. 

But I'm thinking I better just say what's on my mind now. :-) 

I'm still working on so much and I've been getting sidetracked easily it's not helping to get things done. 

I have figured out what I want to do on my blog now to get to it. I want to do reviews so I'm going to start getting some things to review. I will do my reviews on my YouTube channel and also post the information, pictures, and like to the channel on my blog so I have it in both places. 

I have so many ideas and what I want to review. so, I think it's about time I do it and not just talk about it. So, once I figure out how many reviews a week I want to do, I will get a month's worth for now and see how that goes. 

I'm also working on Crafts but have to come up with some ideas. that is my biggest thing idea for crafts. I think maybe I will just sit down and start writing them down and see what I come up with. I would like easy, and hard crafts to do. I think I should have started with at least 4 - 6 crafts. so, I will do that as well. I'm working on a few now so I need to finish, etc. to get them on the site. 

Junk Journals I love to do these. I'm working on a few right now and also have a couple done. I will get the pictures and write up the information for them, and pages and add them to the blog. 

I did take some things out of the blog that wasn't needed. I did keep my planner page and I have a new planner coming which I will do a review on, also add pictures, information, and weekly updates on the planner page about this one. and I'm sure I will have others for the coming year.

So right now, I will have on the blog Reviews, crafts & stuff, Junk journals, and planners. If there is something you would like to see on my blog, please let me know and I will see what I can do. 

I took out my Bible journaling for right now, I'm hoping to bring that back later on, but we will see. 

I also straightened out the side panel some as well, changed the background, etc. 

Also, I think I might have jumped the gun and started on the blog before I had enough content then got overwhelmed and just stopped. but now that I have the blog and if I start putting things on paper it might take me a week or so to get some good content, but I think it just might work. So that's what I'm going to do. take and write down what I want to do and when and start getting things done. 

Sorry!

 Sorry, I haven't done an update in a while, so I thought I needed to. 

I just stopped doing it and was working on a Junk journal, and other things. before I knew it a month or so had passed. 

But I will be posting and adding more information to the blog, and getting everything updated, so I can start working on other things I have lined up. 

I'm also working on a list for reviews, I will get them ready and start doing the reviews on the blog and YouTube, hoping next week. 

I did take a few things down on the blog and I will be just working with what's on there now. I had too many things going and not enough info and time to do them all. 

I just finished a Junk Journal and will take pictures and post them on the page. I'm working on another one and that one is almost finished. I will try and get the information and pictures up this week for at least that one. 

I have a newer page called crafts and stuff, which I added and will keep adding crafts I make and other stuff there and I do have three crafts on there right now with more to come. 

I also have a Facebook group called crafts and stuff. I just started it and will be adding more info there as well. I will be adding the link and info on the blog for that group. 

I haven't done anything with my planner page really, but I have plans for that and with the new planners coming out, I'm hoping I have more to share and show you all. With Planners, planner ideas, items for my planners, spreads to share, and more. Can't wait to get started on that. so, stay tuned more is on its way. 

Thank that is about it, for now, I will post more information, ideas, what's coming, etc. soon. 

Thanks for reading

Take care!

My Reviews & Happiness: What Glues do I use and why?

What Glues do I use and why?

 I thought I would talk about glues I have used several kinds, and I have my favorites, I'm sure you have yours as well. These are the favorites that I use, and I'll be talking about. Like I said I'm sure you have your favorites I'm just sharing what I like and use. 

To start I do love the art glitter glue it's one of my favorites I also use it a lot in my JJ's. the glue dry's wonderfully and pretty quickly, it has a thin line of glue that comes out using a metal tip, you can buy the tips separately. I do have time to fix things if needed, which is what I love about it. it dries clear another plus for me.

I also use a lot of glue sticks to add my pages together, when I add card stock and printed paper, etc. I usually only use two different ones and they are the UHU Stick and Elmer's glue sticks. I have to say I really love the UHU sticks they are wonderful and hold up. 

I usually use the Aleene's Clear gel tacky glue, for embellishments and whatnot, it works really well for embellishments, and I have time to move things around if needed, and this I like sometimes you just don't put things down the way you wanted to. 

I have also used scotch quick-dry Adhesive glue as well, usually for paper embellishments, ribbon, etc. 

For other projects, I use either the above or a glue gun. that's pretty much what I use in my Junk journals and other crafts I make. 

Now the Beacon Adhesives Fabri-Tac Permanent Adhesive is a little pricy, but I love this one, and works wonderfully. I usually try and get it when I see it on sales, etc. so, if you can use this, I would say it's the best to use on your projects! 

I hope this is helpful to some of you. I'm not an expert, I'm just telling you what I use and why in hopes it helps others.

Here are All of the glues that I use below. 

What I've been working on and what's next!

 Hello everyone, 

I figured I better give an update and let you know what I've been up to. 
One I fixed the newsletter - which will be for updates, information, and giveaways. 

I'm also looking for sponsors for a giveaway to get my newsletter growing. If you would like to be a sponsor, please let me know.

I also have been working on my YouTube channel and getting that going, it's a slow process, I have a few reviews I need to do and get up on the blog and YouTube so stays tuned for them. 

I'm working on a Junk journal and need to finish two others. and then I can take pictures and do flip-throughs for YouTube and the blog. 

I will be having more crafts, etc. coming to the blog soon, working on things so I will have posts and updates weekly. I will list this all in my Newsletter. 

Please sign up for the newsletter it is on my blog in the right-hand column, thank you. you can also sign up for my YouTube channel as well.  

Ok, I think that's all the updates, I'm working on crafts, newsletter, JJ's, giveaways, and Reviews! 

Talk to you soon, and please message me with Ideas, reviews, etc. 

Things that make me Happy!

 Some things that made me happy this year! Not everything but I did get some pictures of things that made me happy and thought I would share them here. Of course, my Children and Grandchildren always make me Happy, and My Husband most of the time :-) My dog Sam makes me happy all the time. he's a great chin. 
I'm sure I will fill up this page in no time. but thought I would get it started. I hope you enjoy it. 

Here is a rainbow. Sam and I were sitting in the car waiting for my Husband as he ran into the store. I was on my phone and happen to look up because I saw all these people looking up. so, I looked and got this picture it made me happy to see it. I even watched it slowly going away it was great to watch. 

This is Moo Syman the goat. She lived on

Syman says Farms. she passed away this year 2022 after giving birth,

and having complications. 

She always made me happy, I would go to the farm to see her
and the other goats.

Now her WIN twins make me so happy. She was the best and she
is sadly missed, by all. They also make soap, and they have Moo Moo soap and a book
that is about her...

Hello everyone!

 Hello,

I'm sorry I haven't posted or done much. I just got overwhelmed with it all. I just stopped everything, not good. I was trying to do some here and there every day, but it just didn't work. so, I decided to work on one thing at a time, I will do posts once a week on one day. then reviews right now I will do once a week until I catch up then I will go twice a week. 

One day a week I will do a craft, another Journaling, and then pictures and write and post on another day, I will do my reviews on another because I write them and do them on YouTube which will be a whole day if not more. if I need more time for one of them, I will still have a few days open to fill in. 
I also do a few other things so I will need one day for that. then one day for advertising, etc. 

I'm working on collaborating with other companies to do my reviews hoping to get a few so I can get moving on the YouTube channel, hoping to have some good news. 

But right now, I've been doing a little at this, a little at that and it's not working. 
so, I will write all this up in my planner for each day. I think this will work better I'm hoping, might take me a few weeks to get it all right so it works, but I think it will.

If there is something, you would like to see on my blog please contact me and let me know. thanks

Mary
