Journal making is a passion of mine. It is a culmination of all of the crafts I have done my whole life. I could spend my whole day in my studio making things. The name Friendly Quail comes from my son whom we lost to cancer in 2013. I named my channel in his honor. Before I retired I was a teacher. Making tutorials is my way of continuing my calling. I taught every grade from 3rd through 12th, teaching multiple subjects. My favorite age was middle school, 7th and 8th grades. My husband says that age is why duct tape was invented. I loved it- they made me laugh every day. It didn't hurt that I still laugh at fart jokes. Hopefully I'll do some craft with me videos where I can ramble- i have lots of stories to tell. Thank you for coming to my channel!
