I have never heard of the sailor's valentine, LOL.... YOU CRACK ME UP!!!! it's a good thing ;-) Now I know right where to find a smile when I am in a down and out. ONE OF YOUR !!!!!! Your seashell valentine box is gorgeous!! TFS, HUGS, BJL shared on FB :-)
xo and thank you Robert Mahar you know I love all of your videos! There are many beautiful vintage Sailor's Valentines online, mine is very simple in comparison. I created a Pinterest board of some of my favorites for inspiration, before I made mine.
Debi you are so funny! LOL! This project is incredible! Aaahhhh, you are so amazing at putting exactly the right objects together in the exact right place to have such a beautiful finished project. I am in awe!
Lol! Oh man, the article! I don't know how you are still single, you are such a catch! Thanks for showing your awesome sailor's valentine. I like that you recycled a candy box, good idea :)
Debi's Design Diary I enjoyed this video so much. I gotta say, I pause the video to read the articles and Tania's comments cracked me up! I loved the Sailor's Box. I have an empty candy box somewhere in here and have been wanting to try something similar. As always, thanks for sharing your #creativity!
thecreativelady thanks! I posted the entire article on my blog :) I hope you make something fun with your candy box they are to cute to throw away. debisdesigndiary.com/single-forty-ish-diy-girl-seeking-crafty-boyfriend-or-just-good-boyfriend/
Debi, you are so funny:P I had major surgery a little over a week ago and cannot walk far and rely on my computer to spend part of my day watching other people make art and I love your videos and your quirky happy outlook. Glad I found you on here. When I get better healed, I'll love showing my grandgirl some of your ideas on art that we can make together:)
Karen Kavett you are just adorable, it won't be long before you imaginary boyfriend comes to life and knocks on your door with a giant ampersand and a dozen roses!
Debi...I so enjoyed this. You are too funny and I love the story about the sailors valentine. I have never heard of this. I can't wait to read the article.
This is amazing, Debi!!! I was wondering what Sailor's Valentine was when I saw your thumbnail initially...now I know! I literally cracked up when you said- 'sorry I ate all the candy already'! haha Come to Melbourne, girl! You REALLY are such a catch! Guys here are going to LOVE you! Btw you are really making me to run to the craft store and buy the rhinestone chain! This is the second time I've seen you use it, and I always love the results! Great video
Thanks Himani! Yes the rhinestone chain is essential, I use it for so many things :) I would love to visit Melbourne it looks amazing! I'm enjoying your videos and very glad I found your channel too :)
Such a sweet project! I LOVE the pink sea urchin! Oh, just so you know, I can't help but laugh at the thought of you "barely" kissing a boy! How does that even work?!? lol!
I think that when two people are not compatible, no matter how much we want to stay in that relationship, it will eventually fail. I was always a shy girl, more indoorsy than the kind of girl who goes partying or clubbing. I love scrapbooking, making puzzles, painting, playing computer games etc. So of course that if I dated a guy who loved going hiking and travelling non stop, that would have eventually made me super tired and frustrated. So I found a guy who is sweet, kind, romantic, just like me, and loves quiet strolls in the park, playing games together, etc. Never compromise in a relationship, people should accept you for who you are. Don't sleep with a man from the first day, in fear that you will lose him, that guy certainly does not deserve you now. Take care, Debi :)
Oh my glob this is stunning! Can you do another sea themed DIY for birthday party's? It's my birthday In early march! I would love a DIY video for what to put in goodie bags or decorations for the party. I love your videos so much you have no idea! Keep up the amazing work
"You cant convince them, don't take it personally, just take your hot glue gun......" I died laughing. That edit slice is just magical and I love it!!! Love all your videos and if I ever get out your way I'm gonna visit the shop. Greetings from the midwest
So fun to learn about a Sailor's Valentine for the first time, Debi's Design Diary - especially while laughing along with your relationship insights! So true, it IS just as pointless to try to convert a non-committal guy as it is a gay one. Happy ***** Valentine's Day DIY Playlist Day to you!
Studio Knit thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the project and my dating tips, lol. I've learned a lot about what not to do, not sure I've figured out what to do, yet :) BTW can't wait to make your scarf, love!
Debi, There is absolutely no reason that you are single, it just is what it is. There is someone out there for you...you are too cute, smart and hilarious. No reason, I tell ya, for any guy not to want to sweep you off of your rhinestone, seashell, yarn, covered throne. Unless he is just a chicken liver and doesn't like glitter. I luv ya, if that helps...and your darling seashell heart
I just love this channel & same situation and same age except I don't date bc I don't know, so full understanding + I also did some seashellboxes some years ago, but not that pretty!!! best wishes!!
Omg u are so not 40! I thort u were at most mid 20's like me :D i love all ur vids i watched every single one 3 or 4 times and can never wait till ur next upload :D i love trying to recreate ur designs and put my own spin on them :)
I feel your pain Debi. Especially as I approach thirty and still haven't dated much. But I literally have no time to date because my work schedule is so crazy and random. All I want is a guy who looks/sounds/acts like Doctor Who's Matt Smith and is a Christian. Is that too much to ask? Lol. Happy Valentines Day.
How pretty,,but living in a land locked central states dosent allow me to decorate with shells,tho id love to.The cost would be outrageous.I did order some shells from Florida to make the seashell ornaments,i got them and the tag inside of the bag said they came from Pakistan?Scratching head on that one,but they were the cheapest shells I could find online.So maybe you can do a project for us poorly situated in the US states namely Iowa... who only comes close to shells when we walk along a lake or river and find a shell from some creature a raccoon has eaten, tks Debi
lol lisa houston the racoon! Sometimes I find seashells at yard sales and thrift stores, I also sell them on my website. It's true most shells are harvested from India, and the Philipines a few are from Florida and Mexico but shells are not in abundance like they should be, I try to use vintage ones as much as possible. the next video is made from something your might find in your back yard, hang tight !
im a garage sale/thrift store junkie,I have over 3,000 pieces of vintage jewelry and just started breaking it up to use it(on those shells actually) I love your videos,have gotten some great ideas,for that..tks hope your having a nice sunny day,was -25 degrees wind chill here last night,today high of 6.. I know right?
what a totally awesome offer,id love that susan.. and I could reciprocate with anything that I could in return,i don't expect anyone to offer something without a gift in return :) please don't say no,it would be my pleasure.I collect dominos,if you make altered dominos,or any type of findings you could need.This is such a wonderful offer im just amazed,and honored... many many thanks
great.I love to swap with other people I meet on here.Tell me what kind of things your into and ill probably have it,im a jack of all arts,master of none type :) I will send it to you later today,its like 2 am and I should be in bed but I was doing some resin pours and time just got out of the way,ty again,its great to meet you Susan,,,do you prefer Sue? :) Lisa
40? You sure don't look it. I never subscribed before because I feel awkward subscribing to the 20ish females. I guess I can subscribe now,,, great channel!
I love all of your videos but I would like to suggest for you to change the angle of our camera. You are stressing your forehead lines.wrinkles wrinkles
Omg this was such a fun video, Debi! We were smiling the whole way through. Your Sailor's Valentine is so intricate and beautiful!
***** thanks xo!

Debi you are so funny! LOL! This project is incredible! Aaahhhh, you are so amazing at putting exactly the right objects together in the exact right place to have such a beautiful finished project. I am in awe!
thanks Amy! what you didn't see in the video was me obsessing over where to place the shells for a few hours before I finally decided :)
Lol! Oh man, the article! I don't know how you are still single, you are such a catch! Thanks for showing your awesome sailor's valentine. I like that you recycled a candy box, good idea :)
***** aw thank you! I love watching your videos, the heart stamp was so cool going try that soon :)
This is a very cool idea for recycling an old candy box from last year. Yours turned out so pretty!
