  • Grab a snack and a cup of tea or coffee, because this is MY LONGEST VIDEO EVER!!! LOL!!! I had so much fun using things from my stash along with my embellishments to create these beautiful gift tags. I like to call this MINDLESS CRAFTING since it's all about having fun and not thinking about every detail! I hope this inspires you to create your own!

    Thanks for so many cute ideas. I work with senior citizen ladies and this is one of our projects for the coming holiday season. Your creative tags don't require so many fancy emblies to work with, but they always come out so darn cute. I also feel so relaxed when listened to you, your voice has such a calming effect, thanks again and God bless.

I can't wait to watch your other tutorials (especially the paper flowers, beautiful). I want to do it all but I need to only do one a week right now or I won't be going to work. I love crafting and I am glad I found your tutorials. Thank you for taking the time to teach. I want to one day open a craft store of crafts made from trash (not really trash but recycled goods). I am a girl scout leader and one thing to teach the girls is recycling. What better way than with crafts. Thank you!

    @mawmawvee Před 5 lety

    When I hear you talk, I think of how gracious you are and so easy to listen to. When you do mindless crafting, do you realize that what you are doing turns into a "happening," which is old style Hippie talk from the 60s? I've had a few "happenings" come about from time to time and it's like it was all effortless, no work and as though someone else was creating things. They turn out to be my favorite pieces of all and give the most satisfaction. It's like that when watching you all the time! :D

    Thank you and thank you again. I am always on the search on what to do with all my leftover scraps from card making. I also checked out your flower making clips - brilliant. And your voice is so soothing... I will tune in more often, especially after a crazy day at work.
