your videos are a highlight of my sundays. The bag is beautiful. The Pixie on the background is coming out stunningly.
the golden book journals would be a treasure to have.
I love the tote bag!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Trying to find a bag to stitch!!!!
Ooooh, I love your hair curly!
Fat quarter shop has smaller ones to stitch on
The bag is beautiful.
I love the Golden Book Journals. I remember reading the Lady and the Tramp Golden books as a kid. My favorite colors are purple teal green with accents of pink. I love flowers, butterflies, dragonflies, peacocks, and jewels.
I love all of your Golden Book journals… Every one would be great!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖
I love the Saggy Baggy Elephant, Farm Animals, Frozen or Aladdin!!!
I am a very easy girl… I would absolutely love anything in any format or color. ( but anything girly, pink, flowers etc is especially good)
Again, receiving something totally as a surprise would be awesome.
Thank you Karla for your generosity! 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Hi Karla! I love the tote bag! It's gorgeous 😍. Your other WIPs are coming along well too. I can't wait to see how the butterfly works out with the broom handle! I love the golden book Winnie the Pooh stories. I love all the colors of the woods in Spring and Autumn 🍂 and flowers 💐. You're awesome 👌 for offering to do this! I've watched how much effort it takes for you to do these 📚.
Your bag is beautiful!!! I have always loved your Golden Books. The Lion King is one of my favorites. 🌻🌻🌻
That bag is beautiful-I don’t get how you actually got your hands into the bag to stitch it? That would really be awkward I would think! Riolis flowers is so pretty and almost done! The cat with the dreidel is so cute-that’s my favorite! Have a Happy Thanksgiving Karla 🦃 !!!
I’m so excited for Flossnukkah! I think the kitter with the dreidel is my favorite of the bunch as well. Adorable.
Your bag turned out super spiffy! I’d imagine stitching on that would definitely cause some wrist/hand pains – but so pretty.
The Golden Book Journals are ridiculously amazing. I can’t believe how much effort gets put into them. I always loved those books as a kid. I have so many fond memories of Richard Scary and Mercer Mayer books. I also love Peanuts, Pooh and all the inhabitants of the 100 acre wood, dinosaurs, space, and robots. Obviously I’m incredibly grown up with really refined taste. 🤓
Never too old for fun, right?
I hope you have a lovely holiday, and that the weather stays nice.
Great job on the black bag 😉
I would love to win one of your journals. I’m a huge Winnie the Pooh fan and Alice in Wonderland and Up. I love florals and colors. If I get picked you can just go wild.
Hi Karla! The bag is beautiful 💜💙❤ Gigi is looking marvellous on that fabric and so is the pixie! I love the Golden Book Journals. You are so creative. I love Dr. Zuess – is that that even a Golden Book?? – yup, you have Cat in the Hat!! Star Wars would be a cool one! I would love anything you make though 😁 Have a great week!
Like how you did that bag beautiful and the golden book is nice would like to learn in pink and red my colors and beautiful and the best or Red riding hood not picky.
The stitching on your bag is gorgeous, you did a fantastic job. Very nice🙂
I love Frozen didn’t know it was in a Little Golden Book, love all the colours that were in the movie Frozen, that would be a very pretty journal. I would love to have a Little Golden Book Journal. I would love to have Frozen. Your so very generous. Love your videos.

The bag turned out amazing! I have been going back and watching your videos from the beginning. I was watching and realized it was pre-Covid! Hard to believe it was such a short time ago. I love your Golden Book Journals! I like the baby animals, pirates and the Richard Scarry books. You do such an amazing job on them!
Your bag is gorgeous!!! Your stitching is beautiful. I like Winnie The Pooh. My favorite color is greens, purples, anything you think looks good. I love The Little Golden Books. I also like florals. I just love the journals you have made. Happy Thanksgiving. Hope you have an amazing day.
Love your golden book journals ! I think it's a lovely gesture to make them 😍 I love Winnie the Pooh or Barbie or Lady and the tramp…I also love pink, hearts, flowers and bears 🤩🥰 always lovely to see your stitching
Hi Karla. The bag looks fabulous and rather fiddly to make! I love the Golden books and my favourite stories are Shrek, Lion King, Frozen – in fact any of them! Have a great week.
Your little golden books are awesome. I love Alice in Wonderland and Dragons. Purple is my favorite color.
Your bag turned out to be amazing.
You're welcome. What scares me is the ball is now in your court to enable me. EEEEEPPPPPP!!!!!!!
You are correct, it's "The Little Engine That Could". Such good memories.
Hello Karla, I love your stitched bag, you did an amazing job!!! 💜 I love your journals that you make and I am into junk journaling like you, I do like stitched journaling books. I am looking forward to your Flossnukkah…I love Golden Books, I like Alice in Wonderland, Lady in the Tramp, Puss in Boots, or anything Frankenstein or the Bride of Frankenstein; my favorite color is wine and purple, I like flowers not too much and I love skulls anything Day of the Dead, I love tea cups, butterflies, dragonflies and jewels. You do such amazing work on your journals and stitching!! I have not done any ladies yet, hopefully I am thinking of starting my first one Joan Elliot's Moon Goddess next year. You have amazing week!!! 💜🌸🌺😍🥰😉🤟
Karla, that bag is amazing! What a generous thing to make eight Golden Book Journals. You are definitely a creative soul. Some of my favs are 101 Dalmatians, Lion King and Lady and the Tramp. I think I have a theme going here. Any way you want to create the journal is fine with me. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and Thank You for all that you do for your viewers. Take Care!
The bag is so cool! That’s a perfect design for the space and beautiful colors.
Omg I love the bag so so much!!!
The Golden Book Journals are so beautiful!! I love the bag you stitched on and your WIPs are looking amazing!!
I have so many journals but I would love a Winnie the Pooh or dragon Little Golden Book one! Those Hannukah cats are so cute.
Those Golden Book Journals are really something special. I love Lady and the Tramp, Peter Pan and the Dalmatians. You are so creative and generous. Your cross-stitched bag is beautiful. Happy Thanksgiving!
Another inspiring video! Love your Golden Books Journals….love Snow White or Cinderella….
I’m so happy that you were able to find some cute Hanukkah patterns! I love the style. That black cat is so stinkin cute.
Hello Karla, I love the black bag project. It turned out beautifully. Your journal is amazing! My favorite Golden books are Muppets Treasure Island and the Lion King.
I just googled and found a bunch of perforated tote bags from $10 and up. That would be a fun project.
I love the bag you made.
Hooray for fun Hanukkah patterns.
The Golden Book journals are fun to watch you make. Yes, Alice in Wonderland is a popular one.
The golden book journal is so creative! Where did you get the inspiration to do them? I remember the bag craze, but I never went to get one but I am jealous of your ink circles bag it is gorgeous!
I love your tote bag! The red is so dramatic. Have a wonderful stitchy week.
Hi Karla! Great SAF, love the colors and design for the bag. I would be tempted to stitch the other side as well in maybe similar but different colors if possible so that you can carry it with the side that matches your clothing of the day if you are going to use it as a purse. Gigi is looking fabulous. I love your idea with the butterfly and hope it works out well. I am always surprised at how large the Autumn Equinox Pixie is. I always think of pixies as being small, but apparently not with Bella Filipina pixies, huh? LOL Wonderful progress on Peace and Light. As much as I love watching your creativity on the Golden Books, I would not personally use one so will not be entering. I am sure you will have lots of people who will use them. Hugs to you and Baggy. Happy stitching and see you Sunday!
The bag looks great, but working with your hand in the bag would be so hard.
As much as I love things made by friends, I do make them so I won't throw my name in. I do think you should cut it to 4. They take so much work and time.
