I enjoy your podcast. It makes me realize I need to set up spaces for my day that include a variety of tasks, forget multitasking. So I try to change it up and make a list of three must do’s today while drinking my coffee and break the rest of the day into chunks that include outdoor time, reading, sewing and rest plus meal preparation. Thank you!
I’m really enjoying listening to your podcast. I too am doing powersheets for 2022 but for me it’s the first time. I’m also starting using Sherri’s quilt plannner, so I’ll be interested in hearing about your progress. I’m also finishing up a 100 day organization program. ( it’s taking me 150 days; I’m slow ). I’m always interested in hearing your home tips. I’d love to take a look at the Silk and Sonder journal to see if I have the bandwidth to do this.
I listen to the podcasts while I’m quilting or doing dishes. A video would not be useful. Sometimes podcasts which have a video choice tend to not be as good as a podcast without a video choice.
I’d love it I could get the notes for earlier podcasts. Thanks for making my quilting time better!
Hi Kristin. I enjoy your podcast and I’m always happy to see a new episode in my podcast feed. I don’t currently journal I do more of a brain dump in a bulletish journal.
Love your podcast! Like sitting and having a cup of tea stitching with a friend.
My you have an amazing holiday with your family and a successful 2022
I’m really enjoying your podcasts. I’m a fairly new listener. I’m intrigued with the idea of a monthly journal. I would love to try it.
I would like to begin journaling! I love your podcasts!!!
I have enjoyed your podcast for over a year now. It is definitely the one I most look forward to. I love crafting and reading. I enjoy seeing all your projects and getting inspiration. I have never journaled before but have always wanted to, just never really knew what to write. These journals sound like the inspiration to get me started. Thank you and have a merry Christmas.
I keep a “Some Lines a Day” 5-year journal, and I plan to use Sheri’s Quilting Life Workbook and Planner in 2022. I haven’t quite figured out how to use a journal to reflect or plan.
Your voice is so soothing to listen to as I sit and piece at my sewing machine. Always look forward to your. Podcasts. I am new to journaling and find it helpful to go back and review what I wrote.
I’ve got a gratitude journal and a 5 year daily journal. I’d love to see what these journals look like since you love them so much.
I do not currently journal, have tried a couple of times but always stopped I think these journals would make it easier to stick with. I have looked at them but I’m afraid I wouldn’t stick with it. Winning one might be the push I need to stick with it and go ahead and order them🤔🤞
Thank you for your podcast I am enjoying it very much 💗
I do journal and enjoy it very much. I really appreciate your thought filled reviews of the books you read. I am adding to my “must read/listen” list. Merry Christmas!
Wow! Great giveaway! I always listen to your podcast first as you have so many practical ideas. Thanks for all you do! I do not currently journal but would love to get started.
Hi Kristin. I only journal occasionally, but wish I did it more. I’ve been listening to your podcast for some time now, and I really enjoy it. Thanks for all you do!
I look forward to each new episode of your podcast. I have tried to journal before but the habit has not stuck. I would like to try again.
I have to say I do not journal. After seeing all the planners and journals pop up on instagram it got me to thinking maybe I could start one and see how it goes. Thanks for doing your podcast and happy 3 year anniversary!
