So true about needing to be frugal and using up beads in a bead box now instead of creating a bead soup has cut down on my bead purchases. Also, cut down on my subscription bead boxes to only keep my favs. Love your content, and you have come such a long way from your first video . Thank you for keeping Wendy's passion alive.
I love your sweet personality and honesty. You always come up with beautiful designs. I love it that you talk freely, honesty and just as sweet Wendy did, you're not afraid to leave in a mistake here and there just to show us that mistakes happen to everyone. I love to hear your stories about your life and family because I'm the last of my family and some of your stories reminds me of my past memories and make me smile. I'm disabled and sometimes I don't even leave my house for 2-3 months. So talk all you want because I have no one to talk to. ❤😊
Omg Sharon, what a beautiful comment❤ You touched my heart. I absolutely love Jody, and I agree with you about listening to her stories. It makes me so happy to know that you feel the same way I feel. She makes me feel like I'm not alone. I left all my family when I got married to come to this country at the age of 21. That was 46 years ago (1977) I only went back to visit my parents and my brothers about 7 times if that. I truly don't even remember how many trips I made. I will have to figure out that now that I'm thinking about it. Anyway, I haven't seen my first cousins and friends in 46 years. The last time I saw my entire family was on my wedding day. We stayed at the reception until the end to say goodbye to everyone because I knew I may never see them again. It was a horrible way to end our wedding party. We were all crying uncontrollably. We all realized that this was a goodbye for real, and only God knew what my future would be like 3000 miles away from everyone I grew up with for 21 years. So, I have experienced loneliness, Anxiety, despair, and never been able to feel a feeling of belonging until I discovered Wendy and now Jody. I discovered Wendy after staying home recuperating from surgery. Don't ask me how, but I came across her tutorials and became so fascinating with her personality, I basically felt in love with the way she talked, smiled,gigglede and her love for life and God and the ocean and her trips to the beach to pick up 🐚. She was my first introduction to beads, and I started buying beads and soon became addicted to her Tutorials. When her accident happened, I felt that part of my heart had left with her. I didn't have the chance to ever exchange a conversation with her. But my heart broke 💔 so bad that I couldn't see straight for a very long time. It hurts so much still because she had an amazing life and so many people that she loved and loved her. I think of her and still can't comprehend why this had to happen . I saw Jody's first tutorial, and I knew instantly that Wendy had sent her to us . I have been watching her grow so fast, so amazingly gracious. She is so real, she is so wonderful, she makes me feel that I'm not alone. Tonight, I watched this tutorial at 2 in the morning ET, and I was going to write her a comment. When i saw your comment, and even I don't know you. You have inspired me to talk to you and tell you all of this. I felt your loneliness, and believe me, I am so familiar with loneliness. I love to hear Jody's stories about everything. She brings so many memories of my past when I did all of those things with my family and friends. She relaxes me. She got sentimental talking about Wendy, and she got to me. I identify with Jody in so many ways. We are so blessed to have her there to keep us feeling alive. Well, I better stop here. I could talk for hours. Nice to meet you Sharon. By the way my name is Rosario. A very good friend used to call me Sharon, and I loved that every time He called me Sharon. He was so very special to me. How about that. Is 4:18 AM ET July 12/24
Jody, I think you making these videos and creating jewelry is the best homage to Wendy. You are not usurping her in any way. You are paying her the biggest compliment, and I think that Chris feels the same and these videos make Wendy's life on earth even more special and a celebration. Keep on keeping on!😍
Hey Jody!! I finally gave up and decided to watch an unboxing lol.. mine is still in KS city, I'm tired of waiting lol.. yes! Sos! And my mom even made it with peas... No meat... It's funny how times have changed... I love these bracelets!!! And of course, inspiration for when it does make it here 😉 have a marvelous day today my dear friend 🌼🏵️🌺
❤ Thank you for talking about your feelings. Amazing and what a relief! You don’t even know me and you spoke directly to what my heart needed to hear. It was so surprising..a grand surprise. The projection - you put words to a mindset I have had that isn’t nice. So grateful for you and your words.❤. Loving the jewelry you made also.
So Jody I’m listening to you talk about your feelings and I appreciate your sharing. Thank you for being genuine. I would like to share how incredibly grateful I am I found you. I didn’t know Wendy. I got back into beading and found this channel and enjoy your tutorials. I will tell you she would be incredibly proud to know you have carried her torch. You brought her channel to a level of honesty and honestly I bought the bead box because of you. You are a wonderful instructor and creator. So thank you for bringing us into your home 3 days a week and for your creativity and thank you for keeping Wendy’s passion alive in you in your passion. Thank you we are blessed. Marianne M from Massachusetts
God bless! I apreciate your feelings, of not over stepping bounderies. Dear Wendy was great, you are too. Is like paying omage of what she did for all of us too. Continúe her legacy in the channel, I will continúe watching!❤
I work all week and then work, a half a day on Sat then I have some house cleaning and organization to do. I love all of your bracelets ! Have a good week sweet friend.
Jody, you got to me tonight talking about Wendy. She will be foreber in our 💕 hearts. You are keeping her memory alive. I think of Chris and her family all the time. I know their faith is amazing, and by the grace of God, they accepted HIS will. I do too, but that can't stop me from missing her here with us. 💔
If i never came to this country and had surgery and founded Wendy on my recuperating time searching RUclips for something to watch I probably never would have founded you. Everything happens for a reason at the time of God's choosing. Look at you now. You are doing fantastic, I can't keep up with you. You are a wonderful human being. The mystery is why wendy had to go . Only God knows. Look how many of us love you and fallow you. ❤
Watching the bracelet challenge from the beginning ( fri 26th july) spotted your bracelet .love the gilded links .. off to enjoy your videos.. have a great weekend
I just love all of the bracelets and totally enjoy all of your videos. I feel like I am beading with a friend, always. OMGosh, I grew up with my Mom making the exact same poo on a shingle. I can still smell it lol.
Still waiting for my box which I know takes a while to arrive in the UK and every month I keep telling myself I'm not going to watch any unboxings so it's a surprise when I get mine, but it never works as I can't wait to see what goodies we're getting and this has been going on for 4 years now 😂 All the bracelets you've made so far have turned out beautiful and I'm looking forward to seeing the others your going to make 😊
GOD works in misterios way. We will never undersrand totally the why of so many things. All i know is that everything happens for a reason. Sometimes, beautiful things happen after enduring tremendous Fisical or emotional pain. Sometimes, we see things clear, and others will always be a mystery .
You are VERY respectful of Wendy's memory. I enjoy watching your videos. Enjoy your creative journey!
Thank you my sweet friend.❤

Hi Jody, beautiful bracelets. Can’t wait to see the rest of them 🌸🌼🌸
Thank you! ❤❤❤❤
I think you do a fantastic job. We all miss Wendy but the torch was passed to you. I'm excited that your gonna do the "how many can I make" thing.
I love the "How Many" videos, great job! Most of the time, I prefer to lay my design out before I start stringing, lol ❤
I love them too! I think it’s my value driven personality that wants to see these! 😂
OOoooOoooOh!
I LOVE the lapis and rainbow jasper one! ❤️😎
Thank you! They look pretty together!
Watching the bracelet challenge from the beginning ( fri 26th july) spotted your bracelet .love the gilded links .. off to enjoy your videos.. have a great weekend
I just love all of the bracelets and totally enjoy all of your videos. I feel like I am beading with a friend, always. OMGosh, I grew up with my Mom making the exact same poo on a shingle. I can still smell it lol.
They all look beeeeutiful!
I love all your bracelets.
Jody. Where do you find the wavy discs you used in the 4th bracelet?
I like the bracelets you have on! Where from? Thank you!
Still waiting for my box which I know takes a while to arrive in the UK and every month I keep telling myself I'm not going to watch any unboxings so it's a surprise when I get mine, but it never works as I can't wait to see what goodies we're getting and this has been going on for 4 years now 😂
All the bracelets you've made so far have turned out beautiful and I'm looking forward to seeing the others your going to make 😊
Oh goodness! I can’t wait until you get them! Every month I say I’m not going to watch any videos but I always do! I think I only made it one time 😂
❤😊
use a polishing cloth on the ones that are bad it should work
Use the big one as a anklet maybe 😊
Great idea!
Did you make part 2 Jodie ❤🤔😍
❤
Lovin the tattoos. What are they?
Thank you! The one on my collarbone is a butterfly ❤. I have others on my back but no one ever sees them. I even forget they are there sometimes 😅
GOD works in misterios way.
We will never undersrand totally the why of so many things.
All i know is that everything happens for a reason.
Sometimes, beautiful things happen after enduring tremendous
Fisical or emotional pain.
Sometimes, we see things clear, and others will always be a mystery .
