Dearest Friend Nessie,🫶

Thank You again for the Most Awesome journal. I've been holding it in my hands for a while now & am ready to start adding to it.

I found myself watching your flip-through video several times because seeing you present your Beyond Magnificent journal brought back the feeling of receiving it for the very first time.

There's something incredibly moving about watching each page come to life again & realizing all over how much Love, Time, Creativity, & Personal Thought you gave to creating something So Extraordinary.😍

It makes me Appreciate not only the journal itself, but the Heart, Intention, & Friendship woven into every single detail. I’m Extremely Thankful for this Extraordinary gift & I always will be. 🙏💘

What makes it So Meaningful is knowing that it came from your heart. You didn't simply create a journal; you created something filled with Intention, imagination, & pieces of yourself. 🥰

Every detail reflects the Time, Patience, Talent & Love you invested in making it uniquely mine, & that's something Truly Cherished.

You have such a Gorgeous Heart, Nessie & there's a sincerity in the way you give that makes everything you create feel even more special. 💎

I feel Immensely Fortunate to have you as my friend, & I hope you know that this journal will always remind me of the Extraordinary Thoughtfulness behind our friendship.

I'll Treasure it for years to come, not only because of its beauty, but because of the Love & Friendship that live within every page.
LOVE💘
KINDNESS 😍
FRIENDSHIP💝
GRATEFULNESS🙏

This gifted journal was given to Lisa @sweet_artstuff264 for her loving friendship that she bestowed upon me along with @crafty_dad_studios when I first joined this awesome arts & crafts community back in 2022. She was the first one who welcomed me in with arms of LOVE as I began to sow my own little seeds of LOVE in this community amongst wonderful, loving and caring people. She was responsive to me because of her boldness and did not judge me or my artwork. She knew then upon meeting me here on this platform and still does know now the power of LOVE, unity, community and support. She is the BEST! 🤗❤️

Her vitality, positivity, warmth, kindness and endurance is so evident in her persona and in her overcoming life story that heals many lives today. She has truly affected me and had me take a long look introspectively and retrospectively at my own childhood and how it molded me to be the person that I am today. I thank you Lisa for that and continue doing what you are doing because it is impacting others. ❤️

She is a true friend and upon meeting her for the first time to personally give her this gift of LOVE because I wasn't going to trust such a treasure to our postal service even if we lived a few neighborhoods apart, was such an exchange of LOVE filled with endless hugs, smiles, laughter and overwhelming joy.

Lisa you are my friend!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️

The winner of the "Tough Times Special Summer Challenge Give-A-Way" is @jesus.coffee.planning 🎁

Congratulations Elda! 🎉

Apple Bean Crafts want to again thank everyone who participated in this summer long Give-A-Way and a special thank you to those individuals who supported this endeavor by sharing on their story lines and spreading the news. ❤🤗

-----------------------------------------------------------
Hi, Everyone! The summer is almost over and I had such a thrill these summer months making three (3) lovely junk journals for such wonderful members of this arts & crafts community and other communities on IG during the "Tough Times Special Summer Give-A-Way Challenge 2025"!

Here is the journal for the month of August. The Give-A-Way will end on 8/31/25 at 11:59 pm and the winner will be announced on 9/1/25 after the winner has been contacted and accepts the winning journal. If the winner doesn't accept the winning journal by the close of 9/1/25 at midnight, then another winner will be selected. Good Blessings to everyone who entered! 😇 Remember that there is still time to enter the Give-A-Way. Just read the instructions on June 4th announcement post.

Apple Bean Crafts truly thank everyone who participated in this summer long Give-A-Way and I appreciate and thank everyone who supported this endeavor that I believe in and that is giving, sharing, caring and showing love genuinely from the heart especially in trying times as these. Thank you all once again! 💜

Apple Bean Crafts will be taking a break from creating Junk Journals to focus on other endeavors like hosting arts & crafts sessions, crocheting shawls for my elderly neighbors this winter, learning watercoloring and painting with acrylic paint and editing manuscripts of my novels for self publishing. I will check in to connect with everyone from time to time, promote my Etsy shop and my epistolary correspondence subscription program saga "The High Court Society". 📜✒ I hope that everyone will stay safe and prayerful! 🙏💜 Take care! 💜
