    Amanda, I want to make sure you know how important these videos are! 👏👏 You are giving people permission and inspiration to PLAY and awaken their inner child spirit! Saying that some projects will be a “failure” is a great gentile reminder to not take everything so seriously. I am SO excited for all of the pressed flower projects! Everything you’ve showed here is AMAZING! Thank you for taking us along for the journey. You are the GOAT for sharing your joy with us! 💖💖💖

    So so glad you are back! My Dad a WWll Veteran would watch you w/ me. We lost him this past Sept @ 100 yrs of age. He loved seeing you! ❤ I have a request: you showed us the mirror you made into a mosaic wall piece. Maybe perhaps on a smaller scale so we have an understanding of the process. Again, so good to see you.

It's been like 30 years since I made those😳. Damn I have some milage on me! Happy to break out the tile cutter and shred some mirrors!!!!

    Hi Amanda, it's so lovely to see you again. Me and my mom, Shirley, found you two years ago, just a few months after my Dad suddenly passed away. Our lives where turned upside down as we are a very close small family and share everything together.
    Besides our faith and beliefs, there where a few things that gave us strength and kept us going, and your videos where one of them. They gave us tremendous inspiration into loving and appreciating plants like never before (I wasn't even a 'plant person' myself) styling them and caring for them, finding and collecting new and exciting varieties and learning about them, mostly through your fun and informative presentations. Loving plants helped to make a big whole in our hearts less empty.
    It also inspired my mom to start her own channel. This motivated me to be the one man editor, camera, lighting and sound crew of the channel and help my mom think of ideas.
    In short, your videos helped to heal and bring us back and we will be forever grateful.
    To us your like a good friend we haven't met. We're very sorry about your own family loss and what you've been through. All your hard work and time on planterina should be yours to keep and benefit from even with a rebrand and regardless of what happened with the videos, which, again is thoroughly unfair on you.
    Both my mom's channel and my own have been frozen since early last August when our neighbour's lawnmower backfired while we where out and caused a fire which blackened half the house, destroying huge amounts of belongings and our power supply, boiler and gas. We where hauled up in accommodation for months before we personally cleaned the safe part of the house of grey ash and bought generators and caravan batteries and used them for power and our stove for heating and manged to move back in in November (with great struggling.)
    A month ago we finally had our power restored and will have our boiler back in a fortnight.
    So we are hoping to get ourselves up and running again sometime soon and start recording again.
    Amazingly, your new video popped up tonight for us. We'd looked for you before, but couldn't find any way of sending you a message.
    We just wanted to let you know all this and send you some love, support and thanks.
    We look forward to your new videos, whatever you decide to make them about and hope you see this and know you've got some friends across the pond ( in England! ) we've missed you too!
    Love from Myles & Shirley Thomas (Shirls DeVine Styling left a comment too) ❤

      @@MakeitWithAmanda Hi Amanda. I’m thrilled you replied to me - My first reply too! Thanks for your kind words. Given this is a public forum I don’t feel comfortable sharing my problems. I have always used humour to make my way through the tough times, hidden it mostly. I’m not able to do that at the moment. It’s so great to see you back and looking forward to watching you create all those wonderful art pieces you showed us. It’s so positive I wouldn’t want to take anything away from that. Honestly, your head must hurt with all those ideas bouncing around in there🥴🤭…..🙂
      I hope you are enjoying all the wonderful things everyone is saying about you as you deserve it!!

      Hi Amanda, I accidentally sent my reply 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️….it’s 5.30am Wednesday 1/5(you date other way so 1st May )your time, 7.30pm my time so I’m 12hrs ahead of you. Just wanted to finish up. Notice how many troubled people you help? Much better than therapy. It is weird yet at the same time seems like you said, that we are talking to each other. I feel I know you, not in a weird way, wouldn’t want you to think that. Think I’ll quit wh ile I’m behind - not sure if you guys have that saying.
      Anyway, bye for now, welcome back, no need to be nervous, understandable just not necessary-you are very brave. The peace I find is when I watch you and a couple of other people on CZcams. Don’t feel so alone. I don’t sleep well so depending when you post I might see it at the time.
      You take care too, good luck, not that you need it 🎉 Happy New Channel ❤🤗🌻🦋, Suzanne 🪴

I didn’t know when we’d hear from you again or what to expect when we did. But I’m so excited to join you on this next chapter. On a more personal note, and I hope this comes across as a compliment, but I sense your raw authentic self coming across.

      @@MakeitWithAmanda haha well you definitely have more discipline than I do. It would take me years to get far in a project like those cabinet lands you made. Either that, or I could finish it within a fortnight and everyone would worry that I was becoming an unsocialized gremlin, not showering or anything 😂 happy Sunday to you too!

    I honestly didn't care about "planterina"... I cared about AMANDA and her inspiration!
    My house is full of gorgeous plants that are thriving BECAUSE of you, and I adore art - so I can't wait to see what ELSE in my home will inevitably be enhanced because you are back! YAY!

    Happy to see you back. Looking forward to your creative content. Honestly, I love my houseplants, but will admit, like many others (plant influencers included), we are starting to purge many plants from our collections; I have only kept the ones that thrive in MY environment and don't require 'special care' or manufactured conditions. Looking forward to learning something new. Although the occasional 'styling with plants' video would be fun. 😊

    • @MakeitWithAmanda
      @MakeitWithAmanda  Před 23 dny

      Thank you Betsy! I agree with you, and might I add that I think the plants purge themselves! Some of them were not thrilled about being in less-then-ideal environments. They never stood a chance while the survivors take hold! I am sure I will have plant subjects because they inspire me in many ways!
