 Good afternoon everybody Whoever's here all two people one of which is probably me because I'm watching myself on the iPad. Oh There's six people. Okay, so hopefully as You all know we fixed the picture issues and We had some audio issues actually yesterday with some Strange staticky periodic noise and after doing a little bit of internet research I Think that turning down the audio input should solve the problem, but you guys be sure and tell me in the chat if you hear that At all turning down the audio input on my end means if you have trouble hearing me turn up the output on your end Okay, and it's something to do with HD webcams and Mac computers just FYI and it's nothing I can do anything about so hopefully the settings that I changed will Fix things hopefully That's not the one we need to start with All right, and good morning Doreen Eve Jana Sylvia shells the expat. Good morning everybody All right, so the first thing we're going to do is If you've seen my videos before then you know that I've been keeping track of my year in these binders These are recollections. I think they're recollections binders wait. Does this one say? Yeah recollections This is called the modern journal and I got these Michaels had them on sale and I got a whole bunch of them And they come like this and we're going to work on this one this morning sounds great. Oh fabulous yay So if I have the input too high the Basically the Mac can't handle it and because they're really built to work with their internal microphone and camera and So then you get that weird staticky thing. So anyway All right, so this is the binder that I have that I've been using for September and October and we're going to take these out and October is over so we're going to close up this binder My hair is falling out everywhere I'm going to give you guys a quick flip. This is September And I save all kinds of things from anything that we've done and I put them in here and You know like I got this little Bag in happy mail so I put that in here and then I put some tickets and things in here. I Have a small mini LG pocket photo printer and so I print pictures My daughter and her boyfriend I'm going to zoom in a little bit because I look like I'm a little far away That's better Got that crazy glare going on again. Hold on. That's all most of it. I Feel like I'm in the dark though. It looks good for you guys See That's actually better. I seem like I feel like I'm in the dark, but I don't know That's pretty good. All right, so we're going to go with that. All right Hey, Yosna. Hey Dominique fiddling with the lights there for a minute. All right There's no painting involved today. So I hope you're not here looking for a painting tutorial So anyway, this is September 2016 and just different bits and pieces I collected over in the month pictures picture of my husband Pictures that I put in here little bits from happy mail Some journaling doodles I Don't generally do a lot of artwork in this journal Sometimes I do sometimes I don't it just depends on what's going on with me at the moment One thing I do do is put in my doodle book for the month In that month. So I have these clear vinyl sticky pockets. This is the one for September So one of the things this is October one of the things we have to do is we have to I Just pulled the stickers out. What did I do with them? Oh, they're there Holy cow That's not big enough. Um, so we're gonna figure out a place to put a clear pocket in here Let me find a pocket. Why is it? I can't find stuff when I'm looking for it. Here we go. All right So I got these clear vinyl self-adhesive pockets These are from Amazon and I think they're meant for like Inventory control in like warehouses and things like that but I find that I really like using them in this journal So I got a big I have them in two sizes. I have these littler ones Which are great if you're going to just use them to put business cards or stickers in But I want to put my sketchbook from October in the October section. So we're going to need a bigger one So we need to just find a place to put it My friend Jerry Blini sent me this piece of resin paper, which is just totally cool One of the things I documented was the fact that my book came out in October. So here is A spare cover of my book When I pick up the shipments of the printed copies The outside of the box has a copy of the cover that's been printed and stuck to the box. So I saved one And if you want are interested in finding out more about my book or buying a copy You can get it in my etsy shop, which the link is in the description below You can also go to amazon and just type my name in and it'll come up You can get it spiral bound from me and etsy in paperback and kindle on amazon There's the spiel for the day all right So I had a lot of fun with this I'm still looking for a place for the sticker There's usually a calendar in every Section and I don't document everything, but I just document the like important things that happened that month and like birthdays and stuff like that I should color halloween and in orange Hey sim UK hello Somebody asked me in one of my videos and I have to catch up on comments today, but they asked me about these Um crayons things that I use they're called bible high gliders oops Maybe you can see that I got them from amazon. They come in a set of I think six And um, I love them. They're like my favorite thing I love them so much. I have spares. I know that's crazy, right? So holy cow. I really did fill up the month Where are we gonna stick our pocket? I gotta put it somewhere I could put it right here I could put it here I could put it right here the september ones on this page, but that's okay I could put another page in the back Let me see Have this spare dryer sheet. I'm gonna use in something that's just hanging around my desk um I could put this in I could would it put on there That's a little bit big I think we're gonna put this page back in I took this page out because I didn't think I needed it in here But I think we're gonna stick it back in and we're gonna put the little sketchbook on here No worries lisa Good afternoon. I almost said good morning, but it's afternoon Okay, here's my little october sketchbook now. I first Started doing these little sketchbooks like a sketch a day Like back in the beginning of the year and I was only going to do it for a month. I was reading um um, I think it's art before breakfast and He talked about doing a sketch every day and I don't remember the author's name right now. I'm having one of those not great memory days, but anyway, um You know, I did it the first month and then I was like, well I think I'm gonna do it again and I've been doing it every month since then So I have these little like just daily, you know quick sketches of different things whatever's like right in front of me And um, you know, they're not superb works of art or anything But what I have discovered is doing these quick little sketches is great practice And some of these have inspired some of the 2017 stamp line. I'm glad to tell you so Um, I'm gonna put the I like to save them in the year The journal for that year, so I'm gonna put it in here And then we'll put this back in And then this one is good to go out on the bookshelf All right, so then the next thing that we're gonna do is we're gonna get our next sketchbook ready, which I will have to Um start today because today is the first Um, I try to use up some of my Danny Gregory. That's it. Thanks I'm having one of those mornings So I'm trying to use up some of the stickers that I have, you know in my collection of stuff And these little mini journals I got in um I want to figure out where six or eight of them in a set and I got them at Dick Blick when I was in Las Vegas with Cindy Utter and Some of the other admins I'm gonna put this label And then we're gonna wrap it around to the inside No problem. Um, let me know on the sound Somebody else's sound is your sound went walking. Okay. Hold on. I can see why Is that better? I must have bumped something on the other desk because the sound thing was all the way down like to like 10 percent The input Hopefully that's better Need a pen So hopefully that sound is better Hopefully I upped the input because the input was bad It's okay now. Yeah, I don't know. I must have bumped the mouse or something when I was at the desk I don't know So this is a little clipboard. I always have um Oh good. So this is the little clipboard. I always have my little daily sketchbook on Um, and I carried around the house in the yard and this is just from target the target dollar bin So that's now ready to go So I always put a little label somewhere with the date And then I put some kind of sticker still weird, but I can hear you better Well, I'm glad we're taking our time this morning. We can work some of this out Figure out what's going on with the sound You know, it's like you get one thing fixed and then you know five other things go wrong Everybody else still saying it's weird Okay, how is that? Metal chirping noises. It's very weird I have no idea. There's like literally nothing on in my house. And if I use the desktop Um Mike I'm gonna sound like I'm super far away. We could try that. I could turn off the mic on the webcam It's better Oh, that's a good. Let's see. Let's turn off the lights and see if the lights have anything to do with it Could be my house is old. It could be I'm using too much power. How's that? I don't know. I'm gonna be kind of working in the dark I could have anything as possible Still there I don't think it's a light. Uh, okay. Well, let's turn the lights back on because I feel like I'm in the dark Yeah, so if I have these two lights that are by the desk, then even um, you can't see anything because I'm literally like in the dark I'm gonna turn this light off because we don't I don't use that one too much anyway Does that make any difference? I changed a couple of settings There's a little bit of lag time a few seconds. So I'm gonna get out a basket. I'm gonna need while I wait for you guys to answer No difference I don't understand We can try the eternal mic on the computer, but I think that's gonna make the sound worse Nope Let's see. Wait a minute. That shouldn't make any difference what I just turned off. But maybe it does How does that sound? No, there's nothing nothing charging Still the same. It's very weird. I don't get it We're gonna try one more thing. Hang on Okay, this may have made the sound a lot worse And or I have to speak up I may sound like I'm talking in a can But this is using the microphone on the mac which is across the room for me so You're gonna have to let me know how that sounds I turned off the microphone on the webcam Didn't change Okay, let's try one more thing Okay, so I turned down the input a little farther on the hd webcam We are currently using that microphone And that means you might have to turn your volume up On your device that you're listening to me on The only other thing I can think to do is figure out how to put my old Mic and headset attach it to the computer and Get a really long chord for it. It won't reach all the way over here It's so annoying that we fix the picture and not the volume the sound The picture looks great Well, anyway, so the binders come with all of these cardstock Pre-decorated sheets and then so one of the things I do is I take them all out And I have like a big library of them now And I start with ones That I have in here that are already like decorated And then have scraps and bits and pieces. Yeah, the picture's great. I don't blame you I don't know what to I don't know how to fix it. I don't blame you The only other thing I can think is um And hang on guys I don't think it's gonna reach but I do have a microphone. It just doesn't have a super long chord So I don't know how far it's gonna reach See my guess is this is gonna sound better The only problem is that This doesn't reach all the way across the room Hey, Eileen We're having serious problems with the sound thing and we can't figure out why So those of you who can stand it. I that's all I can think to do I don't know what else to do except to get a really long, um Microphone cord for my Mac Because obviously the mic in the webcam Those of you who need to leave because you can't stand it. I understand I don't know. I don't know All right, so the so I have my November and December calendars Yeah, I'm sorry. It's gonna be Really, it's probably like nails on a chalkboard for some people Was that brief episode of me on the microphone any better? Okay I don't know You know if any of you have macs and you have this problem or know about this problem with mac computers Um, if you can let me know privately how to solve the problem because I have no idea I turned the volume, but you know, it stopped see. I don't know It could be something with a wi-fi Which I have absolutely no control over You know, thank you AT&T Okay, so I have these little I don't know where I got these They're project project life sleeves The little pockets in them So I don't know how long I've had them. So one of my goals was to use up stuff Um So we're gonna do that now we have to make some tabbed dividers Which evidently I haven't done yet I need my envelope punch board I don't know Is the picture quality good sim uk? Is it just like a few seconds behind or So I just randomly punched like a tab out with my envelope punch board Okay, I don't know that's weird The um upload speed is good this morning Was almost five bits per second. So Okay, so that's how I make the tab dividers not that that's like rocket science or anything Like a million times Okay, and then this Staples mini binder punch actually has the same whole spacing as these recollection binders, which is fabulous Okay, so we put a tab divider and then I usually put a couple of pages That one already has stuff on it. So we'll use it And I've been using the pages that came with the binders And then I put I have these tags that I printed With like stuff on them because I was intending to do like a project life thing at the beginning of the year and then that just I don't know that didn't work for me, but I'm using them So we'll put one I have one that's punch. We'll put that in We'll put one of these clear pockets in we put a calendar in And then I always put one more page at the back tab divider A couple more pages Okay, mine hasn't frozen at all. So I don't know Gotta punch this one Now I have one tag left like, you know, so Um, I'm gonna put it in in december and maybe we can just use it up. I'd like to not have one tag left over So we're gonna put that in we're gonna put this in we're gonna put a page in Because this is the last month of the year. It might have um, you know, I'm sure it's christmas So there's got to be stuff in there want to document. So I know of at least one trip. I'm going on short trips. So Okay, that's the basic setup And we're not really done with the whole I have all of these card stock pages that I've printed my artwork on and those are what I use For like the tab dividers and things what I do like to do is take some of them Or like I have these like flash cards that were gifted to me in happy mail And I like to stick them in I'm in You know, we don't waste anything, right another one in So yeah, so if anybody has any ideas about the sound and everything with a mac computer, let me know Don't let's not worry about it right now if you guys can deal with it except for the one person who couldn't um Let me know So these some of these are pictures of my artwork. Some of these are Pictures that I've taken most of them are with my cell phone Like you'll recognize some of these if you follow me like on instagram and stuff I have this random piece of webster's pages paper I think i'm going to stick in here. I don't think I've shown before on camera how I like put this together so I thought We would do that and discuss a couple other things We got to talking about the camera and the sound but You guys can keep me posted on the sound if it's the same or worse or better or whatever I have this random piece of paper. I don't know why this is in here No idea Maybe I should just stick it in there though. It's kind of cool Why not if I can get it in the paper paper punch Hopefully, you know, it could very well be the internet connection. I don't know Um, that could be we do supposedly have improved internet. I don't know I don't know You know, thanks 18 to you. I have no idea All right, so these of course these are all Left, you know, that doesn't mean I'm not going to use them but they are nicely printed like hard stock that would fit in a small binder or Be useful for the 2016 or 2017 planner So I do have this basket that says on the outside you're my life inserts So this is the basket all this goes into and in this basket. I have My planner stickers and all of that stuff also And there's a random piece of paper way down there. Hang on And these if you haven't seen them before are my little Ring bound planners. This one is all sticky notes and this one is all my planner stickers If you haven't seen those before There was a random piece of anything down there All right So that can go to the side All right, we have all of these Hopefully it stays this way So we'll discuss these in a minute, um, which I know you can probably see So the next thing you know, we're not done yet So the next thing we're going to do is we have to label our tabs and then I decorate the pages So outcomes my favorite art tool My brother labeled maker You know when you have anxiety disorder, it just helps you feel like you have things in control even when you don't really To just label them for me anyway I know that sounds ridiculous. I'm aware. All right, so No, try to see if I remember how to spell member Okay And then December Feel free to ask me questions by the way. Oops. Okay. That is not how you spell December Hey, sherry. We uh, you missed all the craziness with the sound. I think it's fine Now some issues There's always issues with my broadcasts more often than not It does always make me think for like one second that maybe I should just do tapes instead of live and then I go nah I do wish at some point that I had like um, somebody like cinnamon coonies husband that is very, you know Tech savvy and working at home with me to You know I need one of those Uh, see, I love my liquor. It's like the best art thing I ever bought So I just make my nice here Now to decorate your pages, of course you can use, you know I do too and I you know, I know I'm not the only one with like Issues during a live broadcast Oh, what happened? I saw that I just like went away for a second and came back So I I only put two or three months in each binder because When you start getting stuff in the binder Let me show you Yeah, that's what happened to me to you. I'm watching on the ipad. So this is only two months And it's fine. But I know when you get three months or more in here The binder starts to get really fat and doesn't want to close And I had binders. I want to use up At the end of the I didn't want to have three months and one binder and one month and the other binder So for the last four months of the year, I decided to do two and two Yeah, Eileen, it's just you know, it's a hit or miss it's like and you know, you fix one problem And then you have another problem. So we fix the picture quality, but now we have periodic issues with the sound. I don't know Not done yet So now that we have everything labeled Um now we're going to do some pre decorating on the pages You can see on this one that I added like washi tape and some um stickers and so we're going to do that and I have That I painted these were old mailing labels or something That I painted So of course the goal is To um use up what you have, right? Thank you. So I am going to keep doing it. Of course I'm going to re-check out the issue with the same but that doesn't mean I'll solve it No, the travelers know because for next year we haven't gotten to that yet deon secret I haven't I haven't discussed that yet. It's coming I'm still on the last one for 2016. We're going to talk about the little bit of changes I've made in the travelers notebook Any more things to add to the 2017 Oh, good for you. I'm taking I'm going to be taking Photoshop elements and iOS for work But yeah, I need I need somebody to help me with who knows about broadcasting live with a mac To work out this sound issue Now before we fix the picture the sound wasn't a problem We're together. Okay. So now I want to take some of my other. All right, let's see You know, I have some of these printed labels with my artwork on them They're from my Etsy shop If I suddenly sound a little far away. It's because I walked away from the table to grab some stickers I have words Okay. All right, so we're going to use some of these. I've been using some of these on my pictures And these were all like test prints when I was developing some of the Um pdfs and things that you can buy in the Etsy shop So I do a print to make sure it's going to print. All right, this one. I didn't Um, I got to use them up somehow. So Now if you were really super frugal, you would say it's part two Sticky I found with the computer while we're Sticking our stickers in here at random and playing with decorating pre decorating part of our pages is that if you're having problems with your computer or hardware You know computer try to use Google google the issue on youtube because there's probably somebody who's done a video on it already Um, so yeah, so when you take, um I can answer that. Let me get some washi tape. Hang on Um, can I grab a couple of different ones that just look appealing at the moment? I'm not going to think about it too much Maybe this hard one I have gotten a couple of new ones recently, but not too many because I have a lot of washi tape. I don't need them Um, okay So when you when you take pictures of your artwork, um You want to take a really good crisp clear picture at as high resolution as whatever device You're using will allow you to if you're scanning it you want to scan it at like 600 dpi As a photo and then if you do that you can resize the image to print it on Um stickers and card stock and all kinds of things Um in my old computer if you're a pc user in my old computer. I would use um microsoft publisher Um for a lot of these I would download the Avery template for whatever sticker sheets I have and I would resize the artwork to fit on that sheet Sometimes I would do it where it printed on the whole page Sometimes I would do it like this Um, and I think they're both ways in the etsy shop um if you're in a Mac Um, and I haven't done it on the mac yet, but I think you have to probably either use photoshop Or you have to if you're doing it like on Avery templates, you probably have to do it in pages But you want to save your artwork as high resolution as you can and then you can um you alter it to And I do advocate like tracy vautista is always saying and if you don't know who she is she is youtube And she teaches classes online and in person. Um, she's a great mix media artist and she always advocates um Leveraging your own work and reusing your own work as collage paper and stickers and things in your work We're always buying from somebody else But before we put any more stickers on I want to Um come in with my words. I mean my washi tape You're welcome. That's why we're here. This is just a chit chat and while we're chit chatting. I'm going to work on my um last journal for 2016 and when we're done with this I am going to show you the changes I've made or things I've added to this 2017 journal. Isn't this star washi tape cute It is smart, right Eileen. That's what I thought when I first took a class from her I thought wow, that's really smart at the time. I didn't have anything to leverage Because I had just barely gotten started in mix media. So I didn't have anything to leverage But as I got started I um definitely started scanning things and taking copies and um Making copies. I should say over at like, um Staples Yeah, I have a um inkjet. It's not um Um or dust jet. It's not Uh, you know a laser jet printer. Yes, that would be my dream printer would be laser jet. I don't have one of those but um When I want a laser printed copy I just go over to staples and make a bunch of copies And I actually have a little flash drive. You know one of those little flash drives I carried around with me and it just says um, I think it just says um printer on on the lay across it's labeled like you guys can't be surprised um, it's labeled and I think it just says printer on it but The images I created of my other artwork that I think I might want to print I stick them on that drive and then it's in my person when I um feel the need To create more copies and I have it I love washi tape It was like the mixed media invention paper tape This one's cute too. This one has little hearts on it. I think some of these are from michael's Because I ventured in there one day not long ago before they got all their cinnamon pine cones and stuff in it made me wheeze but Now I can't go into any of the craft stores until after they get rid of all the cinnamon Hey, melinda My printer is wireless. Um, it's um That's really nice. I'm really not a big fan of all the crazy computer spaghetti That drives me crazy So one of the things I do when I put these decorations on is I don't necessarily want that the end to be on here Um, so I'm not going to cover it up completely But I'm going to detract from it by putting some washi tape there And after I get all the other parts on there, you won't really see it Yeah, well and they are and They didn't used to bother me before I got as I had an injury at work And I have asthma and that's a really long story for those who don't know we won't get into it today, but um Can't once once I develop the asthma. I can't I can't bring around them. It's just it's really bad You know, I saw your video that you said something about um, um altered cards or something on the sewing machine So hey, I'm glad, you know, I'm not um I don't really care for dressmaking, but I love my sewing machine I have a cousin who she makes, you know costumes and things for her little girls every year And um, you know, it's fun to have a machine so that you can do something like that Okay, now I lost the end of the washi tape. Oh, there it is Um, yeah, so, you know as a former retail merchandiser, you know, those pine cones never bothered me In fact, I kind of like the smell of cinnamon we used to Not um any cinnamon makes me wheeze But especially those pine cones are horrible Of course, I have problems with cleaning supply aisle now like scented candles perfume All of that stuff makes me completely crazy So this is what I do. I just sit and I just, you know, pre-decorate the pages wrap the washi tape around the edges I'll go through and put a few stickers Then I'll go through and put some washi tape and then I'll go back with some more stickers And I just kind of pre-decorate the pages so that when I am away from home with my journal And this year obviously it's this one next year. It'll be a different the traveler's notebook But whichever one it is, you know, the pages are already Sort of semi pre-decorated. So I don't have to carry as many supplies with me when I'm away from home um I like having a few supplies with me. I hate carrying so much stuff. I have no free hands Okay, I missed something. What's cheaper to buy? Well, you know, just figure out how to get it threaded sherry and then um go from there and you know, just practice on little scraps of paper or um, you know paper or I mean, yeah little scraps of paper or fabric or something like that and just, you know embellishments and stuff and just practice Yeah, there's a youtube video for everything. You know what I learned from getting a new computer There's when they say there's a youtube video for everything. They really do mean it. You're having a problem figuring out um Something with your computer. It's probably a youtube video for it. If you're having a Um, is she figuring out how to do something with your sewing machine? There's probably a youtube video for it Just to tell people google it now. I just tell them youtube it Thing is the hardest part and yeah, I need I need some like online tech support Or I should say live tech support when we do these live broadcasts It would be nice if there was a way to do Like a pre broadcast like check sound check I don't I don't think there is And video check yeah once you at most problems with um Sewing machines are usually the way it's threaded um So when you have a pro with your sewing machine double check the way it's threaded and the way the bobbin is inside I understand what she means. I lean because You know, you see people do hauls on youtube and then you feel like you need to have one of everything I understand that I'm trying not to be that way, but I understand that It can be the same one when you take classes, especially at first Um, you know, you feel how you have to have one of everything. Okay, so we're done with the washi tape All right, I like to put words in here and this is not something I did right away It's kind of something I started doing like halfway through the year and this You can tell has been well used I have on the etsy shop. I have clear the words in clear Ground so you can print them either way And as you notice, which one is my favorite? Yeah, so when you're doing mixed media christin, I would recommend That for most things you're probably gonna want a denim needle something. Oh that one already has a word on it something strong Um, and so for most things for mixed media, I use a denim needle Yeah, exactly All right, I know I feel yeah, I do the same thing Who here's the first one that says coffee? Yeah, and then the problem is you get them and you're all excited to get them and then you get them and you try them Sometimes and you go. Hmm. Really? Why did I need that because I'm not I don't think I'm real crazy about that So sewing on paper is not great for your sewing machine, but that being said For most of you who are just going to get an inexpensive sewing machine that you can fit in your budget It's not a big deal If you're a dressmaker and you have an expensive sewing machine or an embroidery machine. Don't use that on paper. That's Not a great idea. Um, I have an expensive dress making machine I don't use that that on paper not often. Um, you really want to I got a little inexpensive like 60 dollar sewing machine to use for paper crafting My thousand dollar plus sewing machine that's a dress making machine. I don't use that on paper The biggest thing is to just keep the sheen really clean Um, so the paper pulp Yeah, so I have I have a little small genomy the paper pulp is not good for The sewing machine and it will gunk of the machine as real fabric lint So but with paper it happens faster So you want to just keep it clean and as long as you do that you're not going to have a problem But most fabric sewers who are serious fabric sewers will just like cringe when you tell them that you're sewing on paper with your sewing machine It also dulls the needles faster anybody who has like one pair of scissors and you use them for paper and fabric You know after you've used them on paper They're not as sharp as they were to cut the fabric because paper dulls them quicker. It's the same thing to your sewing machine needles Yeah, if you have a fabric sewing machine that you want to continue using for fabric I would recommend getting a little small inexpensive sewing machine like the genomy Um, and use that I agree with you eve. I'm just reading what you wrote and I completely agree with you I think it does. I think you know, we're mixed media artists and so that means that You know, we always think When we see everything oh, I can maybe use that someday Like we always do right don't yeah, don't use your good machine on paper. I wouldn't recommend it You know, I have a I have a fuff and um, I would not use that on on Um paper Not often and I haven't not often I would recommend if you're going to start using a sewing machine at all that you that you figure out how to Save some money by maybe doing the maintenance yourself most of the time unless your machine develops a problem If you can figure out how to clean it and oil Um on a regular basis then you're going to save yourself a lot of maintenance money Yeah, the someday doesn't this someday kill you I I realized that um Let's see. All right. Sorry. I got distracted. I realized when my grandmother died that that Someday thing is true for a lot of people She she kept a lot of someday things like she had a garage full of someday things Yeah, well, I do try to keep my office decently clutter free because the clutter Um aggravates the anxiety which makes it hard for me to do anything It makes it really difficult Because I can't concentrate At some point all the good words are that I want to use are missing off of here So I have uh, let's see Yeah, so you're local. So if you have a local sewing machine repair place in your town I would definitely check out there first because a lot of times they'll get good used machines in um, and they've repaired them and fixed them up like brand new and And they're usually a great buy Yeah, I can't you know, I know not everybody's the same in that regard But I can't If my visual space is too cluttered then the inside of my brain is also too cluttered and I just can't concentrate At this point. I'm just using up the left The rest of my words that are on here. They don't always make sense These word label sheets are intended to have different kinds of words on them so you can make sentences and quotes And I've kind of used all of a bunch of single words and I have a bunch of like hearts of words left over So we're going to just stick them on here and try to use them up Yeah, they will teach you how to use them which is fabulous. A lot of times they have classes And they're wonderful The trick sometimes is to find a local shop because I know in california You know, they're kind of few and far between anymore I'm out of space for paper This is why I wanted to just do this. I have to do this anyway, and I thought we would just chit chat So I have a limited Space for paper. My my art room is only 10 by 10. Measure that out on a floor. It is not very big So When I acquire new paper or new stuff I want to keep if the space that I keep that in is full Then something has got to go so I can keep that new thing So I'm constantly cleaning and purging and trying to use stuff up So yeah junk mail especially like junk mail envelopes. I have a basket those fit in when that basket is full I don't save anymore until I've used some of them up Um, so I don't even look at them They go in the recycle can mess This I don't know that seems like it's good on that page So we're gonna just I want to use up this sheet because it's like Taking up space see So I have a drawer full collat for collage stuff and magazine images the large ones and like I said like when that one's full Can't save anymore. I have a certain space for like scrapbooking paper, which I don't use that much anymore So when that space is full, I don't save anymore And I know you all can't you know do that or you're not in a frame of mind that you can do that And you know some people, you know, they need the horde of stuff and I understand I get that for me I can't And what I've really done is not saved Those crazy piles of craft supplies that I've tried and then set aside Because I decided I don't like them anymore Um, or they didn't bring me joy. I don't I don't like doing them For instance sewing back to sewing, you know, I have my expensive machine. I have my basic tools I have a little bit of fabric But I got rid of a lot of stuff because I enjoy like mixed media sewing and the occasional garment project But I don't like sewing as a general rule That's not my favorite thing Okay, so now my november december book is good and it's ready to go to start Adding things too for this month. The one thing I have to do. I like to leave the clear Plastic cover on here that these come with But I like to take these labels off first of all And these come off pretty cleanly generally you don't have to like there's no there's no sticky left As I say that Now I got rid of a lot of my fabric, you know, I that was a you know When you sew that's a problem if you are making garments Then you know, you're tempted to keep like all this fabric and you go to the store and you buy more fabric You know, I just I look through it and decide what do you really like working with? Are you really going to ever make a garment with that and I got rid of a lot of stuff So elastic closure strap on here, but it's hidden under the plastic clear vinyl cover So that means I can't use it. So I always slit this back back piece Far enough until I can get that strap. Hopefully I don't mess it up because generally I'm not doing this on camera All right so now November and December is ready to go and that just lives here in the studio or if I go out of town I take it with me. I am switching as some of you know to a traveler's notebook for 2017 because this is really big to take with you And yeah, so I keep lots of small bits like Small bits of lace a few pieces of doily some cotton fabrics But I don't need like two yards of the same kind of fabric to do some kind of mixed media assemblage thing with I just you know need a little piece. So you can keep more of a variety of smaller pieces rather than giant wads of like two everything Yeah, I also have yarn because I used to be a machine knit designer and I have a lot of yarn I did get rid of all my knitting machines. I have a few knitting needles But I even got rid of most of my knitting needles. I prefer crochet over knitting anyway, so And I don't do it a lot. So I just kept a little bit. I still probably have too much so I have to go through that again Yeah, so you really like for me right now paper is on the do not buy in In this lifetime list because I probably have enough paper until I'm like 80 Got you know, should I be blessed to live that long? It has to be something special for me to buy paper Okay, so these are my two 2017 journals and I decided for 2017 that instead of doing These little notebooks I'm going to work in my small pocket travelers notebook And I'm going to carry this around with me Travely where I do my daily doodles Now one thing I did do is I put a couple of these plastic sleeves mid door these two from door In pockets on one end That you can stick business cards in and then they have zipper pouches on the other end So I put a couple of those in because I could see me Picking up little small bits of this or that that I want to stick in here to bring home or carry around Or maybe I want to you know, I don't know put stickers or something in there Oh, there I go again flash. Did you see the flash of my face again? all right But the one thing I want to do is I want to put a pen in here somewhere So I was thinking I needed to order pen loop sticky thing and I went to staples this morning after the gym And I found these Aaron Condren Pen loops sticky pen loops at staples. So I got these I can knit I can crochet I can embroider I can do cross stitch needlework and I kind of need to work almost um sewing painting clay Floral crafts if you name it if you can stand in the Michaels, I probably tried it all All right, so I'm going to break out one of these. Um, I this one has One in it and it's just plain gray on these ones. I had to have And like how much fun is that? So let's put the gray one in the little little one And of course, you know this this is packing. So right now I'm low on packaging because I painted it all so we'll save that And my Concern is going to be where to put this in here. So I don't necessarily want to put it in one of the notebooks because these are going to be coming in and out as I Fill them up and doodle in them, right? So I'm thinking what if I make a piece of card stock that slides in here That then the pen loop like attaches to on that card stock that might work, right? Didn't I just have some card stock? Yeah And I could I could use this Let's see See this little one I don't have folders for we're going to talk about this one actually has a folder in it But this one has just the notebooks and these plastic things and I'm worried about how well This is going to stick to the plastic if I stick it on the plastic. I'm not so sure that's a good solution And I don't want to stick it on the folder So I'm thinking maybe just a piece of card stock might work I should probably take some measurements Because you know Like five inches I love crocheting. I I like crocheting more than knitting and I for me I learned it first. So I think I'm I Now don't throw these little pieces away. You can use them for collage or something There's nothing wrong with knitting. I like knitting. It's just really slow I mean, I'm not a fast knitter. I think that's why I find it frustrating Because I'm not fast enough Now I do have two of these pocket things in here. So I could take one out So I probably don't need two of them in here I put this in You know what I want to do I want to cut a little couple little notches Yeah, I was gonna sew some out of elastic and then when I was um over at staples doing something else this morning after I was at the gym Um, I saw these and went oh Because you know, I'm lazy. I've said that before I gotta peel it. You know, I don't have my reading glasses on But these little notebooks are intended like the binders to be traveling around with you So, you know, you want I want to make sure that I have You know in an ideal situation like maybe I just have this with me Then I have everything I need to in this little book to do my little doodles and really I just do the daily doodles with a black pen Um, so there that's gonna work. So I love these um paper mate mini ink joy pens. These are my favorite like little um Mini pen, um, I carry a Filofax Maldon as a wallet and personal calendar and um I have one of these little uh enjoy minis on there. I love these little pens And this is actually what I went to staples for this morning some more of these They have them this way with the the click click and then they also have um with a cap I know right. This is so cute. Now. This is the zilch. This is not actually a Filofax. It's a zilch It's from amazon And it is um comes these come together like this Um I have the pocket Maldon. Oh, I can go get it and show it to you guys if you want to see it So I want to stick this pen in here, you know, there we go So now this little mini one is all set and ready to go And I can just put this in my bag And I am good I should have put that pen loop in a little farther so it doesn't stick out so much now I'm going to want to do that now. I'm not going to be able to get it up to see I could cut my paper shorter You know, why is hindsight always 2020? I want to know. Okay. I will go get it. Hang on a second. Let me fix this. It's going to bug me Yeah, I carry a Filofax Maldon um as my wallet and Calendar as you know the emergency stuff the medical stuff All that non phone stuff Now my notches are going to be weird Maybe it's time for some washi tape Okay, see you later Eileen Yeah, so I just you know and maybe I I I own the fact that maybe it's because I learned how to crochet first and um I feel like I'm a little better at the crocheting faster Speaking of which I have to make a baby blanket My daughter's boyfriend's sister is having a baby her husband having a baby boy So every baby discerns a hand-made blanket in my opinion All right, so let's do this Because I think I'm going to like it better if it doesn't stick out so much Yep, that's that. I like better. See look. It doesn't stick out so much. That's nicer So that's going to be great and that's perfect and I'll show you compared to my Filofax. Let me go get it. Hang on So here's my Maldon Which is just slightly bigger X Maldon and it's just about time to clean this out for the new year not quite but pretty soon This is going to be great. I can't wait to use this um of all the you know ID and atm cards and stuff here in the front And um, you can't probably see it, but this says let's have An adventure today. This is a project life card Like one of those clear acrylic things And this is just I stuck this business card here that and there's a piece of my artwork there in a pocket Yeah, see that's a problem. I have amazon prime, but that's a problem. Um, you might be able to see if there's someplace else to carry these and You spell it, um Z y l c I think Maybe somebody correct me if I wrong But these two come together and they also come with a pen holder, which I've actually never used I don't plan on using um I can tell you it's z y z l y c sorry And it comes in this um muslin bag And it comes it comes with this But it might be cheaper for you in greece to get, um, maybe an actual, um, midori This just like a midori and some of the inserts I have in here are midori inserts So I have you know note paper and you can see that it's like The end of the year and you know things are it's time to clean this out Towards the end of the year this gets really cluttered and crazy No worries You missed all the craziness with the sound hopefully we don't have any more repeats of that Um, and it came with um, you know a calendar and inserts and dividers I changed them to be appropriate like this one is info. So this is my personal info This one is calendar and um, so this is where I keep all the medical appointments and everything and I try to have this as the little page marker And then I have my doctors my medications Allergies and then there's a back place in the back for notes Like if I feel I need to like make a brain dump or I meet somebody who I want to contact later and I want to write stuff down Um, and then there's a pocket in the back here, which I actually don't use too much and There's a pocket back here is where all the insurance cards are and then There's a big wallet here for money, you know cash So this is a phylofax mulled in and you could definitely use this I use this I was carrying a wallet And a planner separately in my bag and that just was not working for me I needed to make it one thing Frequently, I just take this in my phone and I take my keys and I go And that's what I wanted and I needed to have you know that medical stuff with me So um, you definitely though if that's not the case for you and you if you have access to something like this A small planner it doesn't have to be a phylofax because they're expensive But you could do something like this with this I like the idea of it being a binder Or something with notebooks you can take out because I like to be the To change my pages around I my planners With calendars in them for the most part will always be a binder because I like being able to change the pages around This is brown And this is dark brown This is just it looks um almost black on camera, but it actually is dark brown So the spine on this binder is black But and this is just dark brown And I I do think this came in a few colors and I don't remember what the colors were This is really dark. It's just dark brown. It's actually very nice. Let's got the matte finish It's not, you know a smooth glossy finish, which I actually kind of like to me. It kind of feels almost like velvet So that's my wallet Um, so this one is going to be our for next year our daily doodle book And for those that don't know we're doing a 2017 um Planner program over in the facebook groups. Um, you're not a member over there yet And you want to see the videos going forward? Um, go join my facebook group. The link is in the description below and from there You'll be able to figure out what the other groups are or you can message me if you don't know I'm not sure if it's in the video link down here Only my group is there, but if you messaged me, um, you can find it There are some share videos here on my youtube channel for getting ready for 2017 And i'll address that in a second. Um The share videos are here on youtube and they're open to the public and you can find them in my um on my channel Where I show how I set this up initially the prompt videos where we go over the prompts are only going to be in the facebook group So you have to if you want to see those you're going to have to be a member For the daily doodles I don't use a prompt Um, literally I sit down and that's not gonna help That doesn't have any dual books in it So I literally sit down and just draw what's in front of me every day Sometimes in the morning sometimes in the evening. This is the september book and um Not always successfully like this is a broken fortune cookie Not that you would really be able to tell that My beer stein We were out on san francisco bay. There's a little boat where we were near the bay So we were at dinner at buffalo wild wings. So whatever is in front of me It this is just cracks in the sidewalk. So whatever Is right in the piece of candy corn. Okay, I have a huge candy corn addict There's a little known secret about me So, um, you know, it doesn't have to be You know, if you see a table dining table with a bunch of people on it You don't have to draw the whole table. You could just draw one of the flowers in the vase on the table Um, it's just a daily doodle about what's in your life a binder clip And they don't have to be the best doodles You don't have to be crazy like I am and show the entire planet They're really just drawing practice the way to get better is to Just draw what you see in front of you and I can't I can't recommend Um art before breakfast enough. It's a book and um, If you haven't read it yet, see if you can get it at the library or if you have the money go Look it up on amazon and buy a copy. It's really fabulous And I have this other book too. I haven't read it So this is the 2017 journal that I show in the share videos That are already up on here on youtube and one of the things I wanted to do with this one also Is like this one. I may be out somewhere and I just Don't have my little suitcase of supplies to me And we're out roaming about the town that we're visiting and I wanted just um Do some journaling in here Maybe stick a tick it in so I thought I would share with you some of the changes I made in here Why I made them and um, I want to put a pen loop in here So I did add in another midori pocket to this one. So this particular pocket has A big pocket on one end and there's actually two of them one on each side So I could stick airline tickets in there Pamphlets and then on the other side of that Is a zipper pouch You can put a lot of little small bits in there And then I did put in decide to put a notebook in here because I can see me wanting to just do um, sort of um Journaling my actual writing in here. I can see me wanting to do that. So I put a notebook in here The other side of that these are hooked with an elastic band. I put oh and that's upside down Oops, I put uh paper pockets So again, I have more pockets to put things in and then in between We have our signatures that I showed already in the um share videos that have The calendar a calendar in them not so I can document everything every day So that I can mark the important events that happened in my life that month And then I'll be doodling and journaling about them The calendar and in the rest of the signature And I have january february and march already in here And like I said the share videos show how I made these and if you want to see The actual work in here from the prompts that we're going to have Then you have to be in the facebook group and sometimes I may want to do the work from the prompts Then in this chart these times I want to do them in the notebook and that was the other reason for adding the notebook in here um so Yeah, so um, I'm going this one is great and this is the same size as a midori It's a little less expensive, but depending on where you are in the world The midori might keep her you an easier for you to get So the one thing I'm going to do is add a pen loop. I got some more pen loops because you know, I couldn't resist the talents Oh, there we go Bit more about the daily doodle. Oh, yeah, I already answered that question. Did I miss any questions you guys? I'm going to use the copper one I'm with the sound earlier and I don't know why we're having sound issues like now. I don't know I don't know how to answer that I'm thinking I'm going to put it in the front on the paper pocket You know, if it's not the picture, it's the sound for me heather and I don't know I need I need like a tech Person to help me. Thank you. No, I appreciate that. Don't take me the wrong way um I need a tech person to Like help me. I don't know I'm looking for a pen to stick in there I want to put I know what kind of pen I want to stick in there. This is my pen This is my back stock, you know, I'm crazy like I know you guys all sympathize You know find a pen you like and you got to have backs up. That's what I wanted the pilot varsity Yeah, see me too because then you could not only hear me better, but maybe one of you is tech savvy and can help with the sound That's probably um Okay, you're funny. Um I don't have any idea if there's a way for me to fix it because I'm not sure what the problem is I know right. I don't have enough pens. So I'm gonna put that there and then I'm thinking that I want to put um You know a gift card or a piece of plastic like wrap with double stick tape in here And then really kind of if I'm out and about and we're going to be traveling around a town Maybe we're doing some tours or something and I want to bring this with me to like sit and put things in it While we're having lunch I don't necessarily need to bring coloring tools with me But I've got a black pen to tape stuff in That's a good idea That means I have to find something to put the tape on Which I was going to do before we went over and then uh almost sun and law came over and so that didn't happen Let's see I should have some pieces of plastic around here somewhere Because you know We're plastic quarters, right So see I have a piece of plastic So I'm thinking if I just cut a piece of this plastic off This is the lid from something. I don't know what I know I have too much of everything Because I don't want to jab myself Cut super straight, but I'm going around the corners See you later Merlinda. Sometimes I do You reuse this the backing sheets I'm gonna use this because I want to use this up and you can't hear it There's more political people calling my house phone A bunch of morons Stop calling me So then I just literally just So this is double stick tape So with this I can you know stick images tickets And yeah, you can put like you can put some double stick tape on here You can put washi tape on here and I might put a little bit on here I did find a couple of extra things that I probably didn't need to get Um When I was at the store because you know, we've already been on a long time. I'm just noticing I was supposed to I'm supposed to be on here talking to you guys about doodly things for next year The little small journal this one is not just the only one I'm doing I just remembered that's why that was the main focus we're being on today Oh, yeah, yeah, that can't be a good sign you guys So no wonder I'm having issues with the technical stuff Yeah, you know, my name is not grace christin So, you know, if I you know, if you give me half a chance, I'm probably gonna figure out a way to hurt myself it's just you know Apart for the course So I don't you know have to fill up this whole thing, but I do think I want to put a little washi tape on here Let's put some of the stars on here And you could do this on an old gift card. You could do this, you know, this is just product product packaging This is the top from, you know, probably a tray of vegetables or you know, god knows what There's a top from something I bought Probably at the grocery store Right So then you just have it in your book and you know, even if you're like me and you have a little suitcase of supplies Maybe when you're out and about on your vacation or traveling You don't actually have that suitcase with you. Maybe you're actually on the plane flying And you know, you can only have so much stuff under the seat in front of you But maybe as part of that you have this little small journal, you know, and your handbag Then you have, you know, you don't need all the supplies because you have enough stuff to do some journaling and writing in your book I have gotten asked a couple of times about my little printer recently It's an lg pocket photo It's only slightly bigger than my cell phone And I just make sure before I leave the house that it's fully charged And that I remember to bring the charger and an extra pack of paper with me And it connects to my phone via bluetooth So whatever pictures I take with my phone, I can then print them on it and I have sticker paper So then I can peel the back off and stick them in my journal I know I love this one with the stars and I want to think it came in probably one of those new tubes that recollection has with the words I don't remember but I think it's I think it's one of the ones that is for michaels And I think it was with a tube with a bunch of other tapes Maybe with the heart. I don't remember It'll fit in here and then I have You know, really I've got a back pen. I've got some tape And then all I need are, you know, my little bits and pieces From the actual traveling and maybe my little print and I'm good fit Much better in my travel bag or backpack. I usually bring a backpack than this does This is really big. So I'm going to look forward to taking these around with me next year Then when I was at staples, I always still found these erin kondren like They're meant for coil planners And they are like adhesive on one side and have the cutouts on the other side for the coil planner And you can just clip them in so I think I'm going to look forward to using the Those extra sizes those might be handy for some other things that I'm planning on doing next year and then We have these because I'm insane So I have this which is um, a happy Created create 365 the happy planner and I actually plan on not using this for a planner so much as but I'm an art book and I'm going to use the tab the monthly tabs To mark off the sections and then do like monthly journal pages in them And put them in here. Um, and I like the idea of doing that And I have lots of accessories to go with it. So we'll see what we go. I really like the disc Bound journal idea and I did get these to go with this Because I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do with this, but you know, I have to have all the bits to go with it Fill them all with great ideas. So other than my small daily doodle journal I always do like right now. I have another one from dawn debris socal And I don't remember it's her other one. It's obviously not these two. It's the other one And so every day I I draw on the little one and then I do the page in the other book every night So next year I have all of these other ones to choose from um, and I went ahead I know right so I went ahead these were all paperback Originally when you buy these from half.com or amazon or your local bookstore their paperback The first thing I do before I even buy it is I open it and I make sure there's a good margin between The artwork that's in here And the spine enough so that I can have the spine cut off You do that I have I take it to staples or whatever your local office supply store is Have the spine cut off Have them spiral bind it coil bind it and they also put a clear protective cover On some of these I didn't do it on all of them I don't think they put clear vinyl cover on the front and the back or they can put clear on the front and black on the back And then the thing about that is then when you're doodling in them, you can open it flat If you're on the plane, you can curl it back on itself Much easier to work in than having it be paperback or glue bound. So these are not I don't think any of these are like dated the one I'm working in now actually has dates in it These are none, but they're not dated. So these are two more by don debris sokel art doodle love and doodle zen And they're all like prompted Or they have like this one has a few prompts and then just colored backgrounds and Some of them have prompts in them This one is one page at a time parts This one is prompted And this one has a combination of kind of writing prompts and doodle prompts Uh, this is a rectus journal, which I may do next year. This is another one that I may do And then art this is it danie greggory. He did um the other one that I was talking about Art before breakfast. This is the art before breakfast a workbook He came out with a workbook and I did read his other book which I loved so I decided to get the workbook So I will be working in some or All of these next year But having them spiral bound is a really great idea Because you can you know open it to a workbook page and you can do this, right? Pretty I wasn't gonna buy it because I didn't already have enough. Um, but I really like I like the way this book looks and probably I like the way the book looks because the backgrounds remind me a lot of some of the backgrounds in my Okay, they have similar like watercolory feel at least And I like that um, so this is probably going to be one that I'm um working in and I have to catch up in the other one Walked away for a second. Sorry. So it's the year of the doodle Um and have to catch up in this one because I'm a little bit behind This one is dated so like February 20th 21st 22nd 23rd and um every every day has um This is the 20th. So I have to catch up. It's my one of my things today. I have to do um Every day has a prompt on it art resides in the quality of doing process is uh doing Ho blah blah art resides in the quality of doing process is not magic charles Sometimes there's a quote Sometimes there's just like a little bit of an image No, so literally to get them done To have them chop the spine and spiral bind it um with the clear vinyl five bucks Five bucks and they're used to me now at this point, you know, I come in and I come in And now the guy just looks at me and goes do you need those spiral bound? I'm like, yeah And I even did it with um So those of you who haven't seen this is the paperback version of my book you can get at amazon It's a little less expensive. Of course, it's coming direct from amazon. So it's not signed or anything But it is more affordable and the paper thinner But it's but it's that it's paper bands. So it's glue bound And it's intended to be a workbook. So um, you know, you can work it this way. Of course you can But I did want to show what it would look like spiral bound. So I took it to staples. I bought two of them Yes, I bought two of my own book. Okay. Have a good day kristen Um and I took it to staples and I had them chop off the spine and I had them put clear On the front and back. I want to clear on the back You can see I've already gotten some stuff on there And then I had them spell bind it when I form it when I formatted the book I wanted to make sure there was enough room in the middle That the binding and cutting off the binding and punching the holes wouldn't interfere with any of the artwork or the text For most of these um, you can do this and not have an issue. Um Year of the doodle some of them got really close You know, it got there were a couple of times like here it punched in the one But it was still good. Most of them. There's gonna be a big enough margin I would check sherry and see you may not have staples. You may have another art supply store That's a big chain in the area of the world that you live in I would check with them Most of them have the ability to coil bind things and they have this giant fabulous guillotine thing they literally just you know stick the book in there and line it up and they You know yank and they chop off the spine and then they you know stick it in another machine this way And they punch the holes and then they do the it's really like a fast process Um, if my store is not too busy, they can do it while I wait so um I would definitely recommend it for whatever journals you're planning on using next year You of course could probably do it yourself. Um, if you don't have to stick a book But I would at least maybe go have them guillotine off the the the spine On slip single clean cut Because that would be a pain you could then put the pages once they're they're separated from the spine if you have Um an arc punch, you know, you could you could do them this way with the discs and make a disc bound Yeah, I would go check and see it may be a little bit more expensive, but maybe not a lot more I don't know why they don't you know make them this way except for Well, I do know it now now I should I used to say that I didn't know Thank you I'll have a good evening get some the rest and we will see you next time I'll be back tomorrow with watercolor Wednesday in the morning or a little earlier And in the meantime, if anybody has an idea about the sound, let me know some things that I can check or what out whatever um, okay, so Um, I the reason that a lot of these books don't come spiral bound is cost It's not cost effective for the manufacturers I um, especially when they're selling through places like amazon Um, it's a shame though because a lot of these books would be better served to be spiral bound I think that's it right now. My desk is a mess again When I when I ordered the midori inserts to go in next year's planner They did come with this little cute little folder up from sakura of little page flags. Are they cute? Like those in my journal Because you know a girl doesn't ever have enough sticking outs, right? Does anybody have any questions? So I hope you're thinking about joining us for, um, journaling in 2017 and I hope that You face groups. I have a number of people Of course with me doing the course with me and the reason We're having many different people sort of teach the free course Is so that you get a lot of different ideas From each one of the teachers and how they're doing it and to incorporate in your journal because they're just your I'm more than one point of view So the share videos are all on youtube or ready from everybody You have to just google it or go to one of my my year 2017 videos and You'll find should find the links for everybody else in the description and Unfortunately, it's gonna be a lot and in the meantime if you're gonna do it and you want to do a daily doodle book and you don't front of you And you'd like the don to free soquel books Um Grigory book and they're two too. So Over now there's my dog. It's probably a gardener here. It's probably a good time to go All right, I will talk to you all later. Now, of course the picture is getting weird I you know, it would be nice if they added extra binding in the center Um or extra space in the center so that you know with you know, with these books They're supposed to be workbooks so that Um, they know if you're going to do something like this with it that there's room to do that and not interfere with the design of the book I don't know. It was something I thought of All right, that's it right now everybody. I will talk to you all later Have a great day and don't forget the most important thing Do something nice for yourself because you deserve it And and the gardeners are here I can hear them. All right. I'll see you all later. Bye guys
