Sincerely Sapphire

Celebrating the life and faith of my love...my husband Greg. He went to be with the Lord Sunday, September 15, 2019. This is my gift to our family and friends to help them reminisce and grieve. I grieve deeply the loss of my soulmate, the father of my sweet son. And at the same time I know He is in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and we will join him one day soon. Greg, I will love you all my days!!

This video is to demonstrate my B6 Slim Bullet Journal Insert for 2018 -Monthy with week-on-two-pages, and hourlies with lots of trackers. I love bullet journaling but sometimes it's frustrating drawing the monthly and weekly pages over and over again, am I right? :) This will save me a lot of time and I can focus more on my dailies and collections. If you're interested in purchasing a printable of this in B6/B6 Slim and A5, check out my Etsy shop here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CalvaryCrafters Please overlook my breathlessness :) I had just climbed the stairs with an injured foot (I think I broke my toe the day after Christmas) and I'd had it propped up all day and the sitting in one spot all day hurt my back. I was in a bit of a hurry also as it's my son's bedtime :) (Originally posted to YouTube on Dec 29, 2017) My blog: http://www.sincerelysapphire.com/ Intro music from: (I will update this once I find my notes to where I got this) Outro music from: http://www.danosongs.com/blog/page/4/

I just received my brand new MeadowGate Leathers B6 traveler's notebook and wanted to share the unboxing with you. I had gotten a B6 slim for Christmas and discovered the B6 slim was not for me, so I went on the search for a B6 in my favorite color of royal blue and that led me to Mike at MeadowGate Leather in England. I so love this one!

Flip through reviews of the new, "Creative You", line of planner and journal supplies at Walmart. I'm reviewing three of the sticker packs and a stamp set. One thing I forgot to mention is that the price is great. The sticker packs were less than $3.00 To fast forward to the close up part with less speaking, move on to around the 19 minute mark.

See how I took some Dollar Tree books and made planner inserts out of them. I don't know if anyone else has done this, but it's an idea that came to me when browsing in the store the other day :) (Originally uploaded to YouTube on Oct 8, 2017) My blog: http://www.sincerelysapphire.com/ Intro music from: (I will update this once I find my notes to where I got this) Outro music from: http://www.danosongs.com/blog/page/4/

I'm still learning how to work with video editing and YouTube, so please be kind :) I can only improve with each video, so hang in there with me :) I just learned how to add an intro and the outro so I'm getting there :) The journal in this video is a Leuchtturm 1917 notebook. (Originally posted on YouTube on August 29, 2017) You can find the notebook here: https://amzn.to/3yg2MXq I can't find the stickers anymore. They're really nice stickers, just don't put them on your notebook cover :)

A lot of people use dry erase markets to leave quick temporary notes to themselves that will wipe off easily. The only problem is that it often smears and leaves a messy message that's hard to read later on. Here's my solution. I hope you find this helpful :-) (Originally posted on YouTube on 2/8/2017)

I saved over $14 a bottle by making my own alcohol inks and in this video I show you how to as well :) Next time I make these, I want a bigger variety of colors with bigger ink tubes like sharpies.
