      Our Son-in-law is currently undergoing treatment for lymphoma. Although he doesn't make these, fellow artists on CZcams have made donations of journals, then we auction them off at fundraisers. Each is truly a work of heART! Blessings on your treatment. CancerStinks ! Nik, remember the song from Frozen, and 🎼🎶🎵Let it go!

    You are one of the few people who rant correctly. It’s ok to rant when it’s funny as hell. You and card maker Laura Bassen. Also, did I spy curlers? If I did then you just got so many brownie points. Infinity brownie points.

    I love your pink cutting mat. I'm learning yet. I'm happy here in paper world. I used to be in yarn world. And before that i was in felting wool world..lots,of stuff here. In one bedroom place, so understand losing things. I know this is an older vid. But i like to yap at ya anyway. Lol and those bulb pins are actually stitch markers for knitting to keep our place in the piece we are making so I have lots of those and I used to make bracelets so I have beads. I'm a happy camper now. Thank you for a very hilarious video. These are fabulously pretty notebooks

Thanks also for the free paper you gave all us that have a book cover course of yours.

    Glad you turned your day around and made something pretty. Enjoyed knitting along to your banter! When you started talking about taxes I laughed. My husband was self-employed most of our son’s childhood so apparently he saw and heard a lot of angst around tax time. One day he said, “I don’t want to grow up! I don’t want to pay taxes!” Lol He did and he does. ;)
