THANK YOU. I HAVE DONE ALL OF THAT. VERY HELPFUL. MY BRAIN works exactly the same way.
Excellent
All great info as always. My favorite is #10, give credit where credit is due. So many channels "aggregate" info and ideas from other, usually smaller channels, and present it as their own. In the writing world, it's called plagiarism and it stinks. And, signing and dating, especially dating, your projects is so important for tracking our progress. It's so difficult to see or feel forward progression day to day and project to project, but when you see something you did a year ago, progress is clear and evident. LOVE this --YES--its okay to NOT finish...Spot on! One thing I'd add is to not sweat the details. I see so many people get caught up in the exact measurements of something or exact number of pages in a signature or model number of a rubber stamp set; it's, a JUNK journal, it doesn't matter the size or the number of pages or which stamps. It's the idea, the inspiration, the doing-of the thing, rather than trying to exactly copy something you've seen in a video, use what you have and enjoy the process.
You are so right. Thank you.
Great video, my friend! So fun being part of this collaboration with you and the other wonderful folks! Wonderful tips for us all! Love and big hugs, dear Ceri! ❤
Gayle it was fun and an absolute pleasure to be part of something with you involved as well, We are all continually learning and I love that this community of ours shares freely. ❤️
Another truly wonderful & helpful video, Ceri, thank you! I've been collecting ideas for a while now for things I'd like to create in a lined notebook. One thing I'm doing that's helpful to me is having separate pages, and estimating the time commitment the project might take. That way, instead of thinking I don't have time to create something, I can find a small project on my 10-minute page or if I have a free afternoon, I choose something bigger from the hour+ page, for example. Cheers to you for a lovely week!
What a great idea! Thanks!
@@janicek9399 Oh, I'm glad you like the tip. It really encourages me to create something small even if I only have 5-10 minutes. Cheers for happy creating!
Great idea.
I try to do something creative every day evening if it’s just five minutes fussy cutting.
Great idea,I shall use this.Thanks.
Love this video, Ceri! Wonderful tips including some organisation I can aspire to. I especially loved your countdown cards. I always enjoy your channel - thanks again.
You are so welcome Jen and thank you for watching.
The best 25 minutes of advice on the Tube right now. Thank you so much, Ceri! ❤️
Glad it was helpful thank you Brooke
Thank you for sharing your tips, tricks and hacks with stress less creative space.
I hope it helps in some way
#10. Just amen ❤. Fantastic concept and great video. Strong work, Ceri the crafter.
Thank you so much Cori
Great tips and advice! Thanks!
I hope you have a delightful day. Love&hugs to you and Biscuit.
❤️
As Gayle mentioned in one of her videos a while ago, a place for everthing and everything in its place. I don't have a lot of space so I have to keep my space fairly clean. Some of my ways to stop me from buying more supplies than I need and what helps me to keep my space organized. We all know the growing scraps piles and because of not having a huge amount of space to store my scraps I decided to keep an eye on them. I have some boxes within a bigger box where I try to keep my scraps kind of organiced (paper scraps, fabric scraps, other left overs) and every once in a while I put my self to the challenge to work on a project or even start a new project only by using whats in my scrap boxes. That helps me not to get overwhelmed by the "scraps-monster". I think we all know also the stuff we buy and don't like it very much. Instead of putting it in a box anywhere and never use it I have a box with the label that says "Use Up". Sometimes I find new ways to use the products in this box but the most important thing is that I feel happy when I've used up stuff from that box.
To true and yes the scrap monster haunts us all.
Cari thank you for your honesty. I love that you always encourage and make us that are not so confident feel like we can still do this. Thank you for the encouragement.
You are so welcome Betty
What a fabulous video Ceri! First time I am watching your channel and I can completely relate. Great advice for all of us. Thank you so much for taking part in this collaboration. 🌸🌷🦋☺️
Angela it was an utter pleasure thank you for your kind words.
Oh I loved this video Ceri, and it’s so great to watch you chat. All your tips are fab and will greatly help
Thank you so much Steph
Hi Ceri, that was such a feast of tips I really enjoyed your video. I too keep a pad by my bed whilst watching videos. You never know!
Thank you so much for taking part in the collaboration we really appreciated it. Lots of love from Bella ❤❤
Thank you Bella it was fun.
All wonderful inspirations for addressing life itself. I can relate to all ten of them. Taking a beaded protect apart because I just didn't like it or want to finish it, is something I have recently done. You have taken the guilt away. A big thank you for that. We have been taught to finish what we start. Sometimes that is just poppycock and a rule to be discarded.
I agree Daphne
More good ideas...I especially like no 8.Thank you.
Thank you
It was wonderful to hear your helpful hints. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome Shelly.
Thank you for some great ideas for making creating fun again.😊
You are so welcome thank you
Fantastic as always Ceri! I especially identified with number one and two. Jotting down the ideas that are floating around keeps a sense of calm. Thank you for your great advice.
Wonderful Heather I’m pleased you enjoyed them. Thank you
Your tips are fabulous! I am 62 and my passion is evolving thanks to all my talented artists from around the world 🌎! I really love your work and especially the 10 tips cards . ❤️ from FLORIDA where it's always hot!
Noemi I’m defiantly familiar with Florida I used to work out of Fort Lauderdale for years and did some rehearsing in Miami…….the humidify kills me.
Hi Ceri, I just love your videos, you're always calm and full of inspiration and love. Your 10 tips and tricks are fabulous and I'll be adding them to my creating space. Have a wonderful day.
Thank you and have a fun day.
Ceri thanks you so much for sharing these practical ideas for being a smarter crafter! You have no idea how much this has helped me and many others!
You are so welcome Lenore
My husband happened to be listening, he kept saying, “are you taking notes”. With that said, I’ll be going through a bag where I have half completed cards. They need to be finished and given away. On the serious side, thanks for all you do, remind us of and just being a wonderful person. Stay safe and warm. Love to all.
Thank you Robin
Thank you Ceri! It was nice to put a face to the voice. I love your number cards 😍 thank you for giving me permission not to stress about not completing a project!
Jessica letting go of unfinished projects has been a life and stress changer for me….no self imposed obligations.
Wow, this was really amazing. I need to make myself watch this video every month. Some of the things you said I already know, but I keep forgetting them! I am fortunate in that my art is truly a hobby. A passion, but not a source of income. Still the anxiety can build. Your careful analysis and willingness to be open about your own stress is a great gift to us all.
Victoria I always try to keep it real. Thank you.
Perfect advice, and thank you once again, Ceri, for a wonderful set of numbered points done on cards!
You are a total inspiration ✨️ ❤️ with caring, advising, honesty etc.
Your channels in themselves are nuggets of gold!
I always know that my time spent with you is going to be "precious moments."
Thank you so much Elizabeth
Wonderful words of wisdom. Reducing stress in any area of our life is a grand thing. Thank you for sharing your experience that can help us all truly enjoy our art.
You are so welcome Anne, thank you
Reading scripture calms my anxiety. Thanks, Mr. Ceri. This was very interesting and helpful. I would love to hear more "tips, hints and hacks" please. Have a great day!
Thank you and there may well be more in the future, thank you for watching.
Ooh some great advice in here Ceri, thank you! I will def be taking on board the ideas book and photographing my work! Such an honour to be in this fantastic collaboration with you, although you've set the bar pretty high with your presentation lol. Thanks again 😊💞 Rose xxx
Thank you Rose this was a fabulous collaboration. Everyone did such great work.
Wonderfully helpful video. Thank you so much!.....
Thank you
Ceri, a great video filled with wonderful information. I can put into play several of these ideas. Especially writing ideas down & take notes on videos to refresh my memory of what inspired me.
Glad it was helpful thank you Julie.
Mister Ceri ... I LOVED the numbered cards for each point! It's such a powerful teaching technique, and you made it extra nice and stylish! This is a terrific list of tips! REQUIRED WATCHING FOR EVERYONE! Where can I give it TWO thumbs up?! HUGS!
Lol…………thank you so much Deb, it was such a pleasure being part of this collaboration and reaching out to everyone.
I needed this! Organization, or lack of it, is what drives me crazy. I need it desperately! Great video!
Just find out what works for the way you create and then develop habits.
Thanks Ceri! Lots of good advice and reminders! The swatch book was a helpful idea. Take care. 😃
Thank you Elaine.
i agree with no 3, i have spent days labelling all my storage so i can see at a glance, i also have note books everywhere , i must write stuff down
Yup I’ve got sticky notes with me at all times.
Wonderful, helpful. Thank you for being who you are.
Thanks for watching
Great tips! Thank you so much!!! ❤
Thank you Jenn
Thanks for all your tips, Ceri.
You are so welcome NancyJo
Good morning, Ceri. Fabulous tips! I loved the flash card countdown. They are beautiful pieces of art. I'll be featuring this video as a kick-off on my social media when your turn comes to be in Creator's Corner. Creative Blessings!
Thank you Kelly
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas.......😻
You are so welcome Karin.
Thanks for sharing those tips, I know I will find them all useful
So glad Donna
Hah! I have SO purchsed the same color twice. Because I liked it so much! ❤
Lol…..many of us have.
Swatch book a great tip. I have box with index cards with my supplies and where they are stops me buying doubles or driving myself mad searching.
Fabulous idea Lynette.
Dear Ceri, helpful and my stresslevel goes down just to hear you talk 😊. You also got a very nice sense of humor. 😍
Oh thank you Daniella
Thank you so much for all these wonderful ideas!
Thank you Peggy
You are spot on and gave some thoughtful tips or reminders to help me. Thank you.
You are so welcome Margaret
Great ideas and suggestions thank you
Glad you like them, thank you
Thanks for sharing your great tips. I will be trying some of them.
Wonderful Sandra.
Thank you so much Ceri!!’ The swatch book!!! Brilliant!!!😮💕💞
Glad you liked it Jane
Man oh man where have you been all my 23 yrs crafty life.. Love this👍🏾😊❤ thank you
You are so welcome
Thanks for sharing your ideas. They are helpful!
Glad you like them Denise
That swatch book is brilliant! It's going to be my next studio project. Thank you. I found your channel recently and have been watching one or two or many more videos every day. I adore your take on life and am grateful you're sharing yourself on RUclips.
Thank you and welcome to my channel.
#10-You know that one was going to be a favorite!!!!!!!#4- need to do this, so I'm grabbing out some old stuff to put into the new tag book:). #2-"capture" the ideas at conception because chances are good it will be forgotten! I know we are on opposite ends of the "This is How I Work" spectrum but I always, always enjoy how you see things and how you present them in video form. Thank you:)
Thank you Patricia its always a pleasure to hear your input, I feel being at different ends of the spectrum as you put it makes for an interesting creative life and helps us understand things from different perceptions. Relieving ourselves of the obligation to finish a project has been one of the biggest stress relievers I’ve found, starting something in the heat of the moment is something I do a lot and then loose interest as time passes but feel the piece is nagging me to finish it. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us all each week. ❤️
Thanks for these good tips. I especially liked no. 5 & 7
Great news Susan.
You are amazing. I am always so inspired. Thank you for your top ten tips! Very helpful
So glad, thank you Heather.
Great tips ❤
Thank you
Loved your hints, tips and tricks Ceri!!! Some of them I already do..... as I have been crafting from some 35 or more years. Organising 'stuff' ..... whether it be ideas...... supplies..... one's mind ..... is ever so fruitful. Thank you so much Ceri!!! It's nice to see someone who is on the same page with the processes of crafting .... no matter what sort that is!!!! 💖
Thank you Chris we all find things that work for us but sometimes its good to hear how others do it just in case theres something that suits our style of working better.
Ceri…these tips are useful in many areas of life…I’m thinking housekeeping chores, landscaping, yup…lots of wisdom here. TY.
Glad it was helpful Susan
Great tips! Thank you!
You are so welcome Connie
Thanks, Ceri, for these very helpful tips. I need to practice #1 more...as in get my taxes done!!! I always put that off and it's always on my mind Jan-Apr when I walk into my office/craft room. Every year I say I'll start early, but never do. When I actually tackle the task, it doesn't take as long as I had dreaded AND I feel so relieved and accomplished when I hit "submit"!!!!
Thank you I’m the same with my accounts.
Thank you so much for this great advice!
Thank you for watching
Ceri, this was priceless. I am currently doing a binge of your “Coffee with Ceri” and just so glad that you do these. I am learning heaps from you and am going to stop and write …WRITE…😂…write things down from here and start working away at de-stressing my little life a wee bit! Best!
Wonderful
Wonderful video. Thank you!
Thank you
Great advice, especially unfinished projects.
Thank you Alice
Really great video Ceri! It was so good to hear that you also stress about many things that I do and it was very helpful to hear your tips and tricks to overcome them. Thank you.
I'm so glad, thank you
Also, I love your drawing of the girl .
Thank you Evelyn
Wonderful tips!! The one that really rings true for me is writing down the ideas as soon as I have them. I'm a housekeeper at a local hotel so there aren't many times I need to actually engage my brain. So when my mind is wandering and a card idea pops into my head I will head out to my cart, grab a drink out of my water bottle and stand there and write down my idea. If I don't do that, the idea is gone for good! I'm in the process of writing up a blog post for one such idea, and that card turned out amazingly if I do say so myself! I'm off to check out more of your videos!
Thank you
These were great Ceri. Thank you 😊
You are so welcome
These were such thoughtful and practical suggestions! I plan to use several that I’m not already doing. I appreciate you!
Thank you
Thank you so much, Ceri. You are amazing.
Thank you Joan
Loved this list Ceri! Very useful ideas. I can relate to many of them. I love your swatch book too. :)
Yay, thank you Jennifer.
Wow Cari, what wonderful tips! I will write them all down and hang them in my art room! I do so much better when I’m organized and you are such a great example of that! Thank you so very much, you’re wonderful!!! ❤
Thank you Sally
Thank you for great tips 💜
You are so welcome Nigezza
Thank you Ceri for speaking what I’ve been doing. This has helped me in my projects. I will be exercising what you have been saying…..Thank you so much.
You are so welcome Caren
Hello dear Ceri , so pleased to visit with you today!! Waiting for your video for days /weeks !!
I too struggle w same and agree - 100% with all of your ideas watching for second time so I can write notes 🥰
Thank you Cheryl
Hi Ceri - First time watcher of your channel and thoroughly enjoyed your tips. They sure seem to work for you as you appear calm and stress-free! I look forward to watching more videos. Thank you.
Thank you and welcome up my channel Linda
Love your ideas, Ceri, especially the one with the swatch book, I think I will have to try that 😀
It helps me so much.
Thank you for more good ideas! I'm going to be writing them down. I like seeing your journal cards also so I will go back on the video and pause it so I can look at them more thoroughly.
Thank you Connie.
So many great and practical suggestions 😊 Thank you!!
You are welcome Sharon
First off, WOW! You get me! You have seen my craft space! You know me somehow and we have never met! You were talking straight to me! WOW! Thank you so much for putting me on the right path and giving me guidelines to be a better crafter! Thank you for being part of this collaboration ❤
Ruth you are so welcome, have fun creating.
Some excellent advice, Ceri. I also have issues with anxiety and my crafts are one way to keep the anxiety at bay. I’m a set-collector as well. I recently down-sized and only have a craft area as opposed to the entire, very large room I had before. Organization and limiting my hoard are essential. Thanks so much for sharing your ideas.
You’re so welcome Theresa
Ceri, thank you. You are such an inspiration and help. What great tips and ones that all of us can use. Often we know these things to be true, but they get lost in the back of our minds , but hearing them spoken helps turn that light bulb moment on. It did for me. Thank you ever so much.
You are so welcome Kathy
Lots of great tips here. Thanks Ceri ❤
You are so welcome Heather
Wow! What excellent information! I’m such a procrastinator ……. I will watch this again and take notes! And put them in a place I can find them!! Thanks!🌺
Wonderful
Oh Ceri this is one of the best tips and tricks so far you hit home with every 10 points...you have an amazing talent and your creativity is tops..stress free craft room? I'm one of the lucky ones I have a huge studio and every inch of it is full, but my stress goes away the minute I step into it. Love and hugs and a big thank you from canada..
Thank you so much Joyce. My creative space is also my haven.
Ceri, this was most needed. Thank you.
So glad, thank you
Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
My pleasure Mary.
Thanks Ceri❣️.These ere wonderful tips❣️ 🤗💕🦋
Thank you Jennie
So many good ideas. Thank you!
Thank you Jodie
Thanks for your tips Ceri! I hope to put some of these ideas into practice. I would love to experience a less stressful or anxious crafting session.
You can do it Carol
💜💜💜 such a GREAT video - thank you!
You are so welcome Amy
Very helpful Ceri. Thank you!
So glad, thank you Cheryl
Ceri thank you. I feel seen. The only thing I might add is to never compare your work to someone else’s.
I ant to have beautiful pieces all the time, but sometimes I can’t reproduce something. Usually it is my penchant for strong color, or my love of certain media that takes me to another place. I am still inspired, and yes give credit, even if the original inspiration looks nothing like my version.
Thanks for being YOU , being REAL, and being POSITIVE.
Rachel, Thanks for organizing this collab.
Thank you Rachel
Wonderful video. Definitely going to implement some of your ideas. So happy you took part in the collaboration which has been fantastic so far 💛
Thank you and yes it’s been a fabulous collaboration
This was extremely helpful! I've been toying with the idea of taking an inventory of unfinished projects, and you've made me realize that letting go of some them will make space for other things and reduce my guilt! I should have taken notes... I'll have to watch it again. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. Looking forward to checking out your other videos.
Great news, find out what works and then make it a habit.
Many a good advice here. Thank you.
My pleasure
This is so helpful for me Ceri. thank you so much.
I'm so glad thank you Phylis
Great words of advice. I will definitely be implementing some of your recommendations. 😊
Wonderful Rhonda
Thank you Ceri. I needed that! Very helpful!
So glad, thank you
I've just discovered your channel and it is so refreshing!!! I love your art style, absolutely stunning.
Thank you Alisha and welcome to my channel.
