I had to rewatch this. Kendra referred to it in her latest video. I didn't remember, but I did watch this video when it came out! Yes, I'm 68, and my brain knows it! Glad I watched again. I love your ideas! ❤ TFS, Sammie ❤
Darlin....you are not the only one who has made comments about RUclips and lack of viewers. It's the economy. I have gone from 150.00 a week in groceries 3 years ago to 300-400.00 per week. AND we aren't buying high in food anymore at all. Gas is high. Utilities and everything. I wish I could order from you but until this mess gets fixed we are all suffering. You are a wonderful diyer and I love your channel. You hang in there and with Gid's grace we will get through this. 😊❤
Please please vote! We need relief!!! I won't say who will fix it, but we been living through this nightmare for 4 yrs, so don't vote that group please❤
Unfortunately, this is called greedflation. It is what has happened since four large corporations on almost every grocery store chain in the country. They set the prices, don’t pay taxes, and we have to pay the cost. Corporate America run wild
I really loved these smalls. I’ve been in business for many years and when the economy is slow, it helps to have more less expensive items because women still like to shop.
Been watching since the beginning. Can't understand why your channel has slowed down because I think you just get better & better with your projects. Please don't get off RUclips. I get so much inspiration from you. I'm an old lady and so in awe of your talents and how you always make us feel at home on your channel. I will continue to play your videos in the background, if that will help. Love you!
I’m glad that you do more thrift flips using IOD products. There are so many RUclips channels out there that craft with Dollar Tree stuff and that stuff usually looks super cheap. I sell my stuff and I would much rather see the thrift flips. And Sammie you’re not the only channel that’s not growing. I’ve noticed that on other channels that I follow. I love all these DIY’s that you did today they are super cute. Thank you for all the inspiration you give your subscribers.
You are not the only you tuber that I follow that is having this difficulty. I know that doesn’t help your situation, but just know it isn’t YOU. I love your channel and although I don’t live in the US, I will try to comment each time to help support you in that way. You are a brave and talented (and super human) woman and I respect all that you do.
I personally don’t think you are the issue…but I think there are too many RUclips channels and diy. I like that you have evolved, I appreciate your honesty and creativity! Not everything you do is my cup of tea, and I can’t afford to buy all the products you have or sell. But I still watch you. I am also surprised at how some of these channels are still making it…because they just aren’t as talented or creative! Do what you have to do to help your family out! And don’t change being you!!
❤Sammie, you are so loved by your followers and not just for the DIYS, but just to watch you, your such a sweetheart and it’s been such a pleasure watching you and your growing family. I do listen to your suggestions on how to do something and always pick up something new to do. Just smile and know that you are so blessed. I know that doesn’t help financially, but it’s the best feeling to ever know.❤
I adore you and your crafts! My husband and I are on Social Security, so my funds are limited. I can’t afford the IOD’s and I can’t afford a circuit. you are amazing! I love your heart and your sweet, sweet family. I wish the best for you for you. I wish you would go back to the basics without the circuits and IOD’s. I am also one person, you must do what is right for you and your family. I would love to go on the cruise scheduled for next year where you are their special crafter, probably not going to happen. I will continue to watch and be amazed by your spirit, your talent and the love you have for all of us , your fellow crafters. You are the first crafter I subscribed to and I will always be devoted to you and your channel. Bless you and your precious family, GOD has truly blessed you. Thank you.
Hi Elaine! I understand, as my parents are where you are as well. I would never expect anyone to buy the items to sell. There are so many creative ways of getting the same look for less. We just need an open mind. I appreciate you hanging with me regardless of what I use though 😍❤️
I love watching your videos, love your personality. I did slow down on watching a bit because I can't afford all the molds and DYI paints/waxes that you use, and I'm not skilled enough to think of how to recreate or make inspo pieces without them. But I'll continue to watch a good bit! 😊
You have the best channel on DIY crafting in my opinion. I will watch whatever you are making even if I can’t afford all the fancy stamps and equipment. I watch because of your personality. Keep being you. I am hoping things pick up soon for you.
I’m sorry I wasn’t able to sign on last night but I was getting pickled.. NO NO not THAT kind of pickled… hahaha I was making pickles and didn’t get done in time. First of all, let me comment on your projects… as always, they are just GORGEOUS !!!! ❤ Now, let me comment on the convo at the end of the video… You def are not the only one feeling the slow down. I have heard it mentioned by a few in the last few months. I have to tell you , quite honestly, your work is spectacular!!!! It is classy, elegant , rich, and every piece that you do is absolutely stunning ! Of my 80+ channels that I follow ( yes, all crafts lol), you are one of the three people that I get so excited to see your new videos. You bring something to your videos that no one else does. And you are such a pleasure to watch. Your teaching skills and explanations are on point . I think, as others have mentioned, a lot of it is the economy… it’s a world wide problem right now, exacerbated by the pandemic. For me, I’m on my own now and trying to survive on a very small disability pension. My housing expenses alone take 60% of my income. Every month I worry about having enough food to carry me thru to the end of the month. It’s exhausting 😞. And the sad thing is, there is nothing I could have done to prepare for it. My accident occurred when I was 32. Had a great career making fantastic money. And , at that point I was married so it wasn’t so bad. But now, it’s just me and the situation is so different. Anyway, sorry.. I didn’t mean to write a book. 🙄 but I do think that a lot of people pull away when they are struggling . Maybe they find it too hard to watch when they can’t afford to buy supplies to make projects or to buy from you. For me, I’m working on page #6 of supplies I want to buy and things I want to make. 😂😂😂 Having owned /co owned several businesses thru my life , I know what you are going thru. All businesses eventually plateau for no apparent reason. Unfortunately, it’s inevitable. However, it is how we handle it moving forward that will make a difference. And it sounds like you have thought things thru rationally (although, if you are at all like me, there were probably a few irrational moments and thoughts in there as well ha ha ) You have explored other options, done some research and have made a tentative plan. I love the idea of seeing some old projects in the mix. Even if people have seen them, it’s always great to get a refresher or a reminder of things we can do. You are an amazing person…(yes, I can tell that 😊)… you are kind, caring, patient, have a keen eye and endless classy creativity. Don’t EVER forget that! ( I know from experience that it’s really tough not to doubt what we are doing or to doubt ourselves) but just know that this plateau is a natural part of business. And it sucks. There’s no other word for it. It just sucks. I have every confidence that you will ride this out with grace and style. And I believe that things will turn around and you will see improvements in your numbers. As my Mom always used to say to me “ This too shall pass” and it will … Keep on being you… And keep on reaching out to all of us who support you with all that we can. Keeping you and your family in my prayers. Hugs, Ruth Ontario, Canada
Thank you so very much for taking the time to leave me this comment. I can completely understand everything you said because we are going through it ourselves. The struggle is real for so many. It also resonates when you mention people pulling away when things get tough. I find myself doing the same. I know this is all just a trial and that it will fall into place. I just need to keep continuing to believe in myself. I am very grateful to have people like you in my community. ❤️❤️
@@UnicornDustDesigns … always ALWAYS believe in yourself Sammie.. because you, my dear, sweet soul are THE complete package! Don’t ever forget that… you have extraordinary talent that you so generously share with all of us. And I am very grateful for that. I have also withdrawn from friends .. it’s difficult to say no when someone wants to go out for lunch or do something… it’s easier to just stay hidden at home … However, I promised myself that I would go out every single day and spend a minimum of 15 minutes just “being present in the moment”. Taking time to breathe.. to listen to the sound of nature.. to smell the fresh cut grass and flowers in the garden … and to feed the dozen squirrels that are waiting at my patio door every morning ( there were a lot of babies born this year. lol ) , the three chipmunks and the white dove that appeared in my tree 2 1/2 months ago and hasn’t left other then to go sit on the roof . This daily connection to nature and just being in the moment has made a great difference to my mental health. I know this would probably be impossible for you with the babes, but maybe you could squeeze in some time, somewhere, just for you . Just know we all love you! You are making a difference in sooooo many lives just doing what you’re doing 💜
I've been watching you for a long time and I think you have a variety of crafts and ideas that are great. Everyone is being affected by the ECONOMY and INFLATION. Things cost 2 to 4 times what they did a few years ago, and that is a LOT for the average family to cope with. Don't stop producing! Maybe try using up what you have in your stash and try not to buy more. I personally am donating a good bit of my stash to Goodwill and Salvation Army because I don't have a booth and just do crafts to kill time. Blessings
Sammie, I have loved watching you and have learned so much!!! I don’t have the words for your door rounds, I love them. I also loved your Dollar Tree DIYS. They were high end! Now, you know how much I love your videos. I still look for your new videos but as for me I don’t like the ‘lives’ just me but just saying……. You are definitely diy gifted. Keep your chin up we love you. ♥️
Hey Sammie everything you do and create. Businesses are ever changing and if you don’t change some things along with it then you won’t have a business much longer. Stay true to you and what your family and business needs are to continue to thrive personally and professionally. We will come time to be here for you!
Sammy, I’m just like you I’m not a RUclipsr but I have so many projects on the go I get bored of one so easily and I do some thing else I have a craft room that’s so full I started out in my 20s as an upholster worked on a lot of antiques refinished a lot started doing odd things, painting, etc. I’ve been watching you for quite a few years now I so enjoy when you start something else. It’s almost like me when I was your age but please be patient things will pick up, so please please do not stop doing what you love doing, and never give up Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
I literally had to ban myself from what not for TWO MONTHS because I was spending my life savings on there... I missed your first show because it was during my self ban, but I'll try to catch you show following my next payday Friday. You did a great job today and we'll be here cheering you on as always! Love ya girl and don't feel guilty for trying to find ways to feed your family ❤❤❤
Girl I have disconnected my darn PayPal I domt know how many times but then I reconnect because the prices are so good and they are great for resell. I feel you!
I personally love your channel and your diys. I believe your best asset though is your honesty about everything that this "job" comes with. I would advise you to continue making these comments at the end of your videos that present the real struggles of a RUclipsr rather than pretend everything is peachy like others do. Don't give up. We need more people like you for our own sanity
Wow, thank you Sonia. I really do appreciate this comment. I have always tried to be transparent regardless of what people think because I am a real person with real struggles like everyone else. Thank you for being here
These projects turned out so cute. I love those stamps! This economy is insane. I love that you are so versatile in crafting. No matter what you make, it's Always beautiful. Oh no, not the sewing machine..LOL.. I'll then have to dig mine out...🤣😅 🤗❤️😁👍👍
Love watching you Sammie. You are such a hard worker and you make beautiful things. I hope your channel gets better you deserve it and I will start praying about it!
I have learned so many "crafty" things from you and im almost 60 yrs old! I will always watch your channel and be a subscriber until you decide to stop doing it. I have my top content creators i watch and will always be loyal too. RUclips is saturated with Craft/Thrift Flip creator's. But you have your audience there that loves your special way of doing content!
Sammie, great video I love the little DIY’s! I’m on vacation so I missed your live but watched later! I don’t know what the heck RUclips is doing, you’ve got a fantastic channel!!!🥰💕
Hello Sammie, I really love your tutorials I don't want you to go anywhere PLEASE , I find myself watching the same girls even tho I have so many that I'm subscribed to however I find myself favoring a few of you guys that I will always watch more so... I felt sad for you bc ik how hard you work at building your projects and knowing your a very active momma with little ones, your truly so kind, caring and so sweet I really hope you feel better soon your constantly on the move with all your Applications that can just where you down. And I really think everything will workout for you. Try not to stress yourself ik your life is full of activities with your channel and family Obligations, but it will get better it's going to get better so hang in there God Bless all of you 🙏 TFS Darlene
I love your content and love the fact you are ever evolving and learning new techniques. I think it is so odd your channel is “tanking”, you are so talented, relatable, down to earth, and real! You rock, Sammie!
Appreciate your content and the time you put into your ideas. But times are changing and your post should to. ❤ I'm a supportive person and will be here for you.
HI Nice chat ill keep watching from UK and keep supporting you I think lots of people are finding things slowing down you do what s best for you hope you have received my little gift for your little one take care I’m of to look for your video finger bows your little jars are beautiful 😊😊
I needed your inspiration and to hear your voice! I'm sorry you are struggling with your channel! I hope it turns around for you! I follow you wherever I can find you!😅❤
Hiiii, those clothes pins are soooo stinking adorable they turned out absolutely amazing ❤. I wish things were different on RUclips for you, not sure why it’s not going through the roof cause you are soooo talented and creative! Will always be a watcher and appreciate seeing you grow and evolve!! Keep going girlie girl we gotcha ❤😊
Sammie, been with you since the beginning and will always stick around. You have me super interested in the IOD items and I didn’t think I would be…but like you said, change is good! It’s growth. And my gosh, that stuff is so beautiful lol. Sending you and your family lots of love! 💗🌈🍄🌼
Love your channel and I love whatnot!!! I hope you do the fabric pumpkins, because i know they will be awesome!!! Thank you for sharing all your creativity ❤
I love the smalls!! I am actually making some decoupage bookmarks with napkins right now and watching videos. Sometimes doing some smalls and relaxing is better than making large projects 😊I loved your sublimation items!! I got a sublimation printer recently from Marketplace and I got a few images from Etsy but I am having a heck of a time getting them to "mirror" in Canva and trying to size them to print on a shirt. Ughhhh. Hopefully, I can get it figured out 😂 I really have no clue why your channel isn't getting more views because, in my opinion, you have some of the best DIY's around!! 😃I'm glad you aren't leaving RUclips because I get the majority of my inspiration from you! You know I always have your back!! Big hugs my sweet friend ❤❤❤
I appreciate everything you do. Love love your channel and all your creations ❤️these littles are adorable! Thank you for all your hard work and keeping your channel one of best around!❤️
Watching this on replay! I missed your live! Whatever you do, I will follow you, I always love watching your DIYs, your thrift hauls and all of the other things you do! Thank you, Sammie, for everything that you do...sorry I am just rambling now! ❤❤
Hey girly, sorry im so late, these diy's are outstanding and great for around the house, and im looking forward to see what you come up with it is exciting for me, I've seen you grow so much 4 almost 5 years, & love that you want to learn & grow nothing wrong with that, sorry you have tookin a hit financially that sucks & have to let you know I'm old school i don't have Facebook, but I'll definitely be supporting you on your channel you are definitely one of the best tfs. God Bless You And Family. Big Thumbs Up 👍🥰🙏
I think your decision was a great one for you & your family. Maybe consider selling some of your DIYs on WN. I think they would definitely sell. Best of luck.😊
You just happened to pop up on my suggested channels and I instantly subscribed…loving your style and went directly to your store to buy some IOD supplies! I’ll be sure to watch your videos and I look forward to more DIY from you 😊
I’ve watched you frequently but I haven’t heard about what not, with it being summer time that might be the reason for these issues. Keep on you’ll be fine ❤❤❤❤
I've heard many UTubers say their numbers are down and UTube is unsubscribing viewers - viewers are not unsubscribing themselves. Not just crafter channels but Podcasts on varied subjects. Some Podcasters believe UTube has changed their algorithms. Glad you are branching out but very happy you will continue on UTube.
Pivot is perfection. Things shift, and we have to adjust. I started WN to try to get rid of stuff from a market that my mom ran until her health declined. Problem, I think I have bought as much as I've sold 🤦♀️ I love it, like you, but it certainly is addictive lol I know with your RUclips followers, you will do wonderful on WN!
Hi Sammie! Thanks for sharing with us. Everything was so cute! Those tags, especially! I really want to order some stamps and transfers from you, but I'm having a hard time choosing which ones😂 I love to sew. I haven't for a couple of years, tho. I used to make aprons, girls' dresses, stuffed animals, all kinds of cute things! I have so much fabric along with my hefty craft stash! If you start to sew, I will sew along with you! Also, I really want to recreate that spindle christmas tree that you made a couple of years ago. I just loved it so much!! There are so many things that you've made that i want to make! I have learned so much from you! I'm happy you aren't going anywhere!! See you next week!!❤❤❤
Always my pleasure Susan! Oh man. Maybe tell me your decor style and I can suggest a transfer book for you ❤️ there are so many choices. Dang it. I’m trying to think of what spindle tree. So many DIY’s done now I’m like did I do that haha
You have been relative doing both crafts that the lay person can achieve as well and the IOD for people that got some mula right now..I’m thinking of doing whatnot maybe in the winter…I’ll always be here❤love your personality and your ideas I’m excited for you and all of us and thanks for keeping it real kudos darlin much love from Missouri ~Freddy❤
I’m so sorry your channel is struggling and honestly I don’t understand why. You are amazing, creative and such a hard worker. I have heard other creators say the exact same thing about RUclips and their channels. I’m so so glad you’re not giving up. Hopefully this is just temporary and things will change soon. Times are so very tough right now for all of us but we will push through! Don’t forget you are amazing!!

I love watching all your videos. I can’t understand why everyone doesn’t feel that way. I mostly just do RUclips because I’m not on the other formats
You are amazing! We will survive!
Hey Sammie everything you do and create. Businesses are ever changing and if you don’t change some things along with it then you won’t have a business much longer. Stay true to you and what your family and business needs are to continue to thrive personally and professionally. We will come time to be here for you!
Thank you so much for these words Chanda. Your support means everything
Sammy, I’m just like you I’m not a RUclipsr but I have so many projects on the go I get bored of one so easily and I do some thing else I have a craft room that’s so full I started out in my 20s as an upholster worked on a lot of antiques refinished a lot started doing odd things, painting, etc. I’ve been watching you for quite a few years now I so enjoy when you start something else. It’s almost like me when I was your age but please be patient things will pick up, so please please do not stop doing what you love doing, and never give up Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Thank you so much Sherry!! I appreciate you being here and leaving this comment. I will never stop!
Loved the Clothes Pins rolled on the stamps!!! I am def doing this, sorry I always forget to post on videos, but I do watch and always like!!
I literally had to ban myself from what not for TWO MONTHS because I was spending my life savings on there... I missed your first show because it was during my self ban, but I'll try to catch you show following my next payday Friday. You did a great job today and we'll be here cheering you on as always! Love ya girl and don't feel guilty for trying to find ways to feed your family ❤❤❤
Girl I have disconnected my darn PayPal I domt know how many times but then I reconnect because the prices are so good and they are great for resell. I feel you!
❤ you are not like others, you teach us and show us how to make things better. You help us make make smalls, woods etc. Love you! Thanks
Wow, thank you! I try and be diverse with crafting
I personally love your channel and your diys. I believe your best asset though is your honesty about everything that this "job" comes with. I would advise you to continue making these comments at the end of your videos that present the real struggles of a RUclipsr rather than pretend everything is peachy like others do. Don't give up. We need more people like you for our own sanity
Wow, thank you Sonia. I really do appreciate this comment. I have always tried to be transparent regardless of what people think because I am a real person with real struggles like everyone else. Thank you for being here
I love to watch your videos.
These projects turned out so cute. I love those stamps! This economy is insane. I love that you are so versatile in crafting. No matter what you make, it's Always beautiful. Oh no, not the sewing machine..LOL.. I'll then have to dig mine out...🤣😅 🤗❤️😁👍👍
Love love love the gift tags! Doing the lines on back was ingenious!!
Thxs for sharing these adorable diys ! Girl I think most of us would watch u even if you were watching paint dry and talking
Hahaha cause you’re awesome Sandy!
I love all your projects! Especially the gift tags! Hang in there…. So sorry you are having issues with your channel. You are a wonderful creator!
You are so talented and you can't please everyone All the time
So thank you for you.
Love the tags! Very cute and practical!
Thank you Stephanie
Love watching you Sammie. You are such a hard worker and you make beautiful things. I hope your channel gets better you deserve it and I will start praying about it!
I have learned so many "crafty" things from you and im almost 60 yrs old! I will always watch your channel and be a subscriber until you decide to stop doing it. I have my top content creators i watch and will always be loyal too. RUclips is saturated with Craft/Thrift Flip creator's. But you have your audience there that loves your special way of doing content!
Love me some Sammie 🎉❤😊
Awww 🥰 stop making me blush!
Sammie, great video I love the little DIY’s! I’m on vacation so I missed your live but watched later! I don’t know what the heck RUclips is doing, you’ve got a fantastic channel!!!🥰💕

And I really think everything will workout for you. Try not to stress yourself ik your life is full of activities with your channel and family Obligations, but it will get better it's going to get better so hang in there God Bless all of you 🙏 TFS Darlene
These tags are so cute! They would be a great small in a booth for an add on!
I love your content and love the fact you are ever evolving and learning new techniques. I think it is so odd your channel is “tanking”, you are so talented, relatable, down to earth, and real! You rock, Sammie!
Thank you Theresa! I’m not sure why but I do know I won’t stop trying ❤️
Love the clothes pins! So fun.
One lady I know has had give up her store. She made her stuff and a wonderful talented lady.
That so very sad. I’ve seen that a lot here with booths
And I always, always watch your channel
Appreciate your content and the time you put into your ideas. But times are changing and your post should to. ❤ I'm a supportive person and will be here for you.
HI Nice chat ill keep watching from UK and keep supporting you I think lots of people are finding things slowing down you do what s best for you hope you have received my little gift for your little one take care I’m of to look for your video finger bows your little jars are beautiful 😊😊
Christine! Yes! We did. I believe I posted it on my community tab and Instagram. That was so sweet of you! Definitely put a big smile on my face
Thats great the kiddos helped paint the pretty tag colours
Sammi, you are my absolute favorite and I will follow you ALL the places 💕🥰
You're the best! Thank you Gina
I can relate everything has changed and everything is so expensive. Keep up the great work you are amazing.
Thank you! I appreciate you being here
I think it's good to do the one post per week with bonus videos sprinkled in. Take care of your babies and revisit your process down the road.
I love your positive attitude. Your family is blessed.
I always look forward to your videos and FB posts!
The gift tags are fabulous!!!
Thank you! Would be great to have a stash for all occasions!
I needed your inspiration and to hear your voice! I'm sorry you are struggling with your channel! I hope it turns around for you! I follow you wherever I can find you!😅❤
I like the smalls. I have a booth and they would help. Thanks for the inspiration.
You’re fabulous so keep doing you Sammie, love you girl!
Thank you Lori!! You’re the best girlie
@@UnicornDustDesigns 💜🤗💜
Hiiii, those clothes pins are soooo stinking adorable they turned out absolutely amazing ❤. I wish things were different on RUclips for you, not sure why it’s not going through the roof cause you are soooo talented and creative! Will always be a watcher and appreciate seeing you grow and evolve!! Keep going girlie girl we gotcha ❤😊
Sammie, been with you since the beginning and will always stick around. You have me super interested in the IOD items and I didn’t think I would be…but like you said, change is good! It’s growth. And my gosh, that stuff is so beautiful lol.
Sending you and your family lots of love! 💗🌈🍄🌼
I think your "smalls" came out great. If you have more circles, you could make ornamets.
Thank you so much Sara! I might do some ornament ones with napkins or transfers
I hope things get better for you. This economy is very tough right now. I am trying to do my best and support several DIYers!
Love your channel and I love whatnot!!! I hope you do the fabric pumpkins, because i know they will be awesome!!! Thank you for sharing all your creativity ❤
Great ideas for craft fairs!..there’s the rust and shine!!..I still love my shirt❤thank u lady!
The smalls video was very helpful for ideas for my booth.
I love the smalls!! I am actually making some decoupage bookmarks with napkins right now and watching videos. Sometimes doing some smalls and relaxing is better than making large projects 😊I loved your sublimation items!! I got a sublimation printer recently from Marketplace and I got a few images from Etsy but I am having a heck of a time getting them to "mirror" in Canva and trying to size them to print on a shirt. Ughhhh. Hopefully, I can get it figured out 😂 I really have no clue why your channel isn't getting more views because, in my opinion, you have some of the best DIY's around!! 😃I'm glad you aren't leaving RUclips because I get the majority of my inspiration from you! You know I always have your back!! Big hugs my sweet friend ❤❤❤
I appreciate everything you do. Love love your channel and all your creations ❤️these littles are adorable! Thank you for all your hard work and keeping your channel one of best around!❤️
Wishing you the best.
Watching this on replay! I missed your live! Whatever you do, I will follow you, I always love watching your DIYs, your thrift hauls and all of the other things you do! Thank you, Sammie, for everything that you do...sorry I am just rambling now! ❤❤
Loved all of these smalls. Especially the tags. You are so right about the stamps “out of site out of mind”.
Thank you Lisa!!
Hey girl! I Completely understand. You have to keep finding things that will help support your family and move you forward. ❤
Thank you so much for understanding.
I need that live to junk sweatshirt❤
I should be naking more soon. Not like that one though because it’s one of a kind 😍
Hey girly, sorry im so late, these diy's are outstanding and great for around the house, and im looking forward to see what you come up with it is exciting for me, I've seen you grow so much 4 almost 5 years, & love that you want to learn & grow nothing wrong with that, sorry you have tookin a hit financially that sucks & have to let you know I'm old school i don't have Facebook, but I'll definitely be supporting you on your channel you are definitely one of the best tfs. God Bless You And Family. Big Thumbs Up 👍🥰🙏
Your Channel is the most beloved on YT, just my opinion! ❤❤❤
😍😍😍
I think your decision was a great one for you & your family. Maybe consider selling some of your DIYs on WN. I think they would definitely sell. Best of luck.😊
Thank you Elisa!! I’m going to try a few next week. I think I get scared because I’m afraid people won’t bid on them and then I’ll feel bad haha
You are an inspiration for everyone ❤
You are just so sweet. Love your ideas
LOVE the tags !!!!!!💕💕💕💕
You just happened to pop up on my suggested channels and I instantly subscribed…loving your style and went directly to your store to buy some IOD supplies! I’ll be sure to watch your videos and I look forward to more DIY from you 😊
All of these are amazing!!! Thanks for the ideas.
I love the sleeves on the sweater you sublimated.
Thank you! I’m obsessed with those sleeves
Beautiful work! You are amazing!!
Im excited for you!!! I love the tag idea xx
I’ve watched you frequently but I haven’t heard about what not, with it being summer time that might be the reason for these issues. Keep on you’ll be fine ❤❤❤❤
Good luck on your new journey 😊
I've heard many UTubers say their numbers are down and UTube is unsubscribing viewers - viewers are not unsubscribing themselves. Not just crafter channels but Podcasts on varied subjects. Some Podcasters believe UTube has changed their algorithms. Glad you are branching out but very happy you will continue on UTube.
Pivot is perfection. Things shift, and we have to adjust. I started WN to try to get rid of stuff from a market that my mom ran until her health declined. Problem, I think I have bought as much as I've sold 🤦♀️ I love it, like you, but it certainly is addictive lol I know with your RUclips followers, you will do wonderful on WN!
So have i!! No joke! I keep shopping on whatnot. But I will say - we are. Resellers so we can always sell the pretties and try and get money back haha
This was a great video. Very inspiring.
As always I love your show! These smalls are great! Keep it up
Thank you Harley!!!
Thanx I I received my order. I’m sure to make something cute for Christmas decorations with my grand daughter.
@Sammie Veltri
Do you sell the molds
Yay!! Yes! I sell everything on my website 😍
I absolutely love the tags that you made . I going to have to borrow that idea .
Please do😍
Hi Sammie! Thanks for sharing with us. Everything was so cute! Those tags, especially! I really want to order some stamps and transfers from you, but I'm having a hard time choosing which ones😂 I love to sew. I haven't for a couple of years, tho. I used to make aprons, girls' dresses, stuffed animals, all kinds of cute things! I have so much fabric along with my hefty craft stash! If you start to sew, I will sew along with you! Also, I really want to recreate that spindle christmas tree that you made a couple of years ago. I just loved it so much!! There are so many things that you've made that i want to make! I have learned so much from you! I'm happy you aren't going anywhere!! See you next week!!❤❤❤
Always my pleasure Susan! Oh man. Maybe tell me your decor style and I can suggest a transfer book for you ❤️ there are so many choices. Dang it. I’m trying to think of what spindle tree. So many DIY’s done now I’m like did I do that haha
You have been relative doing both crafts that the lay person can achieve as well and the IOD for people that got some mula right now..I’m thinking of doing whatnot maybe in the winter…I’ll always be here❤love your personality and your ideas I’m excited for you and all of us and thanks for keeping it real kudos darlin much love from Missouri ~Freddy❤
Thank you for saying that Freddy. I’m been trying to do a mix but I’m learning I can’t make everyone happy so I just gotta do me.
@@UnicornDustDesigns very welcome and god do I hear ya there!!
Those look so cool.... What a great idea thanks
I love the smalls!!!
Thank you Vickie. I’ll have to do more
I’m so sorry your channel is struggling and honestly I don’t understand why. You are amazing, creative and such a hard worker. I have heard other creators say the exact same thing about RUclips and their channels. I’m so so glad you’re not giving up. Hopefully this is just temporary and things will change soon. Times are so very tough right now for all of us but we will push through! Don’t forget you are amazing!!
I’m with you always
I appreciate you!!! ❤
