THANK YOU! I just wanted to pop on here quickly to say thank you for your continuing support on my channel. I have been receiving and loving all of your sweet comments. In my everchanging, ongoing attempt to commit my schedule to YouTube FULL TIME, I returned home in late January of this year from my full time job and planned to return fully to YouTube but have hit sooo many snags. I managed to get a few videos out to you guys before it all fell apart. First off was a 5 month long (Jan-May) episode of water issues at my home. We literally had more days without water than with during this 5 month span. It was hard enough just to try to keep the house clean, cook a meal, take a (washpan) bath, and other basic water needs. I felt like the little village girl from Jungle Book, lol. "I must go to fetch the water..." all day, every day. And to top it all off, after a prescription of immune suppressing medication (for my autoimmune issues), I have spent the past 2+ months sicker than I have ever been. I tHiNk I finally have the right medicines now that will finally wrap this all up for me. I'm still on the mend and still determined to get back to "YouTubing". I always face battles that seem to try to keep me away from doing just that. It's because of my health issues that I have always ended up going back to the traditional workplace, to try to obtain health insurance. Well, I finally bit the bullet and bought a private health insurance plan on my own. I refuse to go back to working for "the man" yet again. Those employer insurances never really provide good coverage anyway and the health struggles follow me to the workplace where supervisors don't really understand the need for all of my doctor visits and even gave me a hard time over using my PTO for the appointments, as well as those days that are just difficult on their own. But YOU GUYS are sooo loyal and understanding! You've been here, and keep coming back for me throughout all the years that I was chasing health insurance. AND you're all so forgiving when health (or work) takes me away from YouTube. You've been rewatching my old videos and leaving such sweet comments. Your watch time, clicks, likes, comments, and shares go further than you know. Thank you so much. So, here we go! Sink or swim, THIS is my career from now on! ...Following my passion, crafting a life that I love. It may still be a couple weeks or so before I have new content for you but like I said, I am on the mend! So, unless this takes another setback on me, I'll see you all then. Thanks again for sticking around and for all of your sweet comments lately! <3 Comment below. I'd love to hear from you! How long have you been a Craftie subscriber? What is your favorite kind of content? IF I decide to open the option for channel memberships, what kind of perks should I offer for members? Should I learn how to do livestreams? New craft category? Merch? Etsy? I have a lot of new options available now. Give me your thoughts on everything!

MONDAY MEMORIES: 6 years ago today I posted my Gummy Bears Table Setting video. I love these! Of course the bear is just a play on shapes and all it took was a play on color to turn them into Gummy Bears. I really wish I'd had transparent colored plates for this. That would have made them absolutely perfect. Give it a watch here 👇 and let me know what you think. watch video on watch page

WAY-BACK-WHEN'S DAY:
You've still got time to create these adorable crystal bunnies before Easter. They go together in no time! I just love the crystal version, but don't forget to also check out the brown bunny version that I created with wooden beads. Have a "hoppy" Easter everyone!

MONDAY MEMORIES:
I've gotta say, themed party decor for special events and gatherings is at the top of my list of favorite things. This Flower Pot Utensil Buffet from 5 years ago is a perfect example. It's quick to put together. It's inexpensive. It couldn't be easier! But, it's just that extra attention to detail that really makes a gathering extra special. I love to add a special touch to all of my gatherings. This one is great for Easter, Mother's Day, or any Springtime gathering. Give it a re-watch here ⬇

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES! I planned to post a video today, but since recording it I have had several power outages. Editing has been a struggle. I am working on editing it now and (if no more problems arise) I should have it online for you by tomorrow morning. It's really cute. I hope you guys are gonna love it. In the meantime, please check out this video. It's a hint for tomorrow's video. Any guesses??? watch video on watch page

Ask me your questions! I think I’ll make my next video a Q&A/Life Update kind of video. I know there are a lot of questions about where I’ve been for more than a year, What’s happening with my YouTube channel(s), etc. Ask me here and I’ll try to answer as many as I can in my next video.
