@@TunedOutCraftsBut she's so right, you really were missed. You kept so many of us sane through lockdown, helped us with plant problems, shared your home and family with us, made us laugh. We love you so much. ❤
I am a 3D art teacher in Florida that loved watching your Planterina channel. I found it around 2023 and was crushed when you vanished. Now your new stuff is just as helpful to my tribe of artists and botanical beauties! ❤❤❤
We are doing less complex projects than anything you are creating-high school general curriculum 3D. I emphasize recycled & nature items. I have a sailor’s mouth and favor invisibility but video together sounds intriguing.
Wow! This is a whole about face change! Who knew you have so many talents. Sounds like you are doing your own “Healing therapy” Spectacular. Very creative
Hi Joanne ~ I think you figured out what is going on ~ and thanks for articulating it. Art really does help, just like caring for plants. It all makes sense!!!
God bless you, Amanda! You are so talented! You were excellent as Planterina and now these Art projects you are working on! Truly blessed by the Lord! I know you have been through a lot like many of us! Stay strong and looking forward to your new channel!
One of the many things I've loved about you is you always made me stretch - how can I display my plants differently, what do I already own that can be upcycled, recycled and create interest in my space. Love it...and you! ❤
Happy to see you back. Looking forward to your creative content. Honestly, I love my houseplants, but will admit, like many others (plant influencers included), we are starting to purge many plants from our collections; I have only kept the ones that thrive in MY environment and don't require 'special care' or manufactured conditions. Looking forward to learning something new. Although the occasional 'styling with plants' video would be fun. 😊
Thank you Betsy! I agree with you, and might I add that I think the plants purge themselves! Some of them were not thrilled about being in less-then-ideal environments. They never stood a chance while the survivors take hold! I am sure I will have plant subjects because they inspire me in many ways!
Your energy is so beautiful and welcoming. Oh my goodness the variety of beautiful art you showed has me excited to see what comes next. The little worlds with the peep holes are incredible ❤
I'm so glad you're back. We've missed you so much. So sorry for your loss? Even though I loved your plant shows. I like art, too. I can't wait to see what we're gonna make together.❤ Welcome back amanda
Your son is so beautiful! Beautiful chair in memory of your niece…..she would have loved it so much. Love tina…..I can’t not believe your peep hole projects! Mind blowing! You are a great artist!
Ooooh!!!! I LOVE ALL OF THIS!!! This kind of crafting is right up my alley. I am extremely interested in the shrink plastic and waterbottle arts. Those are cool!
Yay! I’m so excited! I love crafts (and plants which is how I found you initially - you were my first plant purchase online, a baby monstera, I got maybe 4 years ago and I still have it 🤓) I just downloaded procreate on my iPad and i am really excited to use it, as I love coloring already. Im excited for this channel! Especially the little worlds inside box and apoxy…. Pretty much everything you mentioned Im interested in!
You are going to go crazy with that app! I am so glad you got it ~ my sister just got it too and she is also so excited. I am so excited to share whatever I can with you and see how you take it and run! sending my love!
wow your creative eros is amazing! loved seeing all your unique and beautiful projects. i second the comment about you opening a gallery! although i know its not as simple as snapping your fingers... point is i think your work really speaks to people. even if its not for people that you make your work, as i know it really isn't for the inner artist. hope all the creating you've been doing has been nourishing you and that your new channel nourishes you too! 🌟💖🌟
The truth is that I just make things and no ones ever sees them. I keep them in my house or store them away. Sharing them here with you all is really my first time showing anything like this and It gives me such joy to be able to share with you.
@@TunedOutCrafts i totally get that, your art is first and foremost for YOU! and, seems like it is also going to touch a lot of people moving forward 💖
I was so sorry to hear about your season of loss. Im glad youre back. I am a breast cancer survivor. I went back to work for the oncology department that treated me
I love that you did that!! I completely understand why you did. The nurses are so wonderful, kind, respectful and loving that you want to be a part of making people feel a little bit better in anyway you can.
hi i miss you so i am so glad you are back my grandson always call you crazy plant lady he always ask about you thanks for all the plant infor and i will be following you
Oh my... You're such an amazing artist 😍 These are all gorgeous!! I hope you've signed your work and please let us know if you sell prints or merch of some of those creations 💓 😍
This is going to be exciting! Looking forward to some projects. Don't have a creative bone in my body, but who knows...Thanks, Amanda, and I'm so glad you're back.
i'm so glad i found your channel!!!!!! you are an amazing "freak" like me.....i literally love your stuf!!!!!! i can't wait until your next episode. ❤❤❤❤
Hello, Chubby!!!! I missed you almost as much as I missed Amanda!!! I am ready to begin creating. I have always wanted to, and I have done a few things in the past. However, it's so much better to have company and have Amanda as a guide. Okay Chubs, talk to you later, behave yourself, and take good care of your mom!!!
Chubbs said to say Hi!! I am ready if you are ready, just remember to set your expectations low in the beginning and over time your body catches up to your brain! Lots of love to you Ana
You definitely have your own following and I'm one of those people who's very glad you're back. It wasn't the plants we watched for necessarily it was you❤
Wow Amanda! I could always see that you are a very creative person but holy crap! You have serious talent! And not just in one medium but many! You could absolutely open an art gallery! I'm really impressed! I can't wait to see all the things you do on this channel! I'm so glad you are back! ❤
I am SO excited for your new channel. I'm already so inspired to get creative again and I cannot describe how badly I've needed this. Love you, Amanda! 💜👩🏻🎨
So so glad you are back! My Dad a WWll Veteran would watch you w/ me. We lost him this past Sept @ 100 yrs of age. He loved seeing you! ❤ I have a request: you showed us the mirror you made into a mosaic wall piece. Maybe perhaps on a smaller scale so we have an understanding of the process. Again, so good to see you.
I can see your dad with you and it warms my heart to think of the relationship you had with him. (sorry if that sounds strange). I can show you the process for sure! It's been like 30 years since I made those😳. Damn I have some milage on me! Happy to break out the tile cutter and shred some mirrors!!!!
Hi Amanda, it's so lovely to see you again. Me and my mom, Shirley, found you two years ago, just a few months after my Dad suddenly passed away. Our lives where turned upside down as we are a very close small family and share everything together. Besides our faith and beliefs, there where a few things that gave us strength and kept us going, and your videos where one of them. They gave us tremendous inspiration into loving and appreciating plants like never before (I wasn't even a 'plant person' myself) styling them and caring for them, finding and collecting new and exciting varieties and learning about them, mostly through your fun and informative presentations. Loving plants helped to make a big whole in our hearts less empty. It also inspired my mom to start her own channel. This motivated me to be the one man editor, camera, lighting and sound crew of the channel and help my mom think of ideas. In short, your videos helped to heal and bring us back and we will be forever grateful. To us your like a good friend we haven't met. We're very sorry about your own family loss and what you've been through. All your hard work and time on planterina should be yours to keep and benefit from even with a rebrand and regardless of what happened with the videos, which, again is thoroughly unfair on you. Both my mom's channel and my own have been frozen since early last August when our neighbour's lawnmower backfired while we where out and caused a fire which blackened half the house, destroying huge amounts of belongings and our power supply, boiler and gas. We where hauled up in accommodation for months before we personally cleaned the safe part of the house of grey ash and bought generators and caravan batteries and used them for power and our stove for heating and manged to move back in in November (with great struggling.) A month ago we finally had our power restored and will have our boiler back in a fortnight. So we are hoping to get ourselves up and running again sometime soon and start recording again. Amazingly, your new video popped up tonight for us. We'd looked for you before, but couldn't find any way of sending you a message. We just wanted to let you know all this and send you some love, support and thanks. We look forward to your new videos, whatever you decide to make them about and hope you see this and know you've got some friends across the pond ( in England! ) we've missed you too! Love from Myles & Shirley Thomas (Shirls DeVine Styling left a comment too) ❤
Your story really hit me hard and just shows how strong, motivated and determined you both are. I wish I lived by so I could have helped you. I can imagine how much it took to get back in your home. I am so inspired by your rejection of giving up. Please let me know if I can help in any way. You can email me makeitwithamanda@gmail.com ~ Sending you love ❤️
Amanda so glad to have you back. Because of you my house is like a jungle now. No more dead plants. Thanks for everything and just being you. Welcome back.❤😘😀
None of us get out alive and we ALL go through something. Your audience appreciates you and we stand with you. Thanks for all your past, present and future videos!
This video's timing is so meaningful to me. I am being treated for ptsd and am finding out that art is a part of my healing but it's hard to get the confidence and motivation to get going. Thank you for being you and sharing your gifts with us. Blessings
The only thing worse than failing is never trying. I am posititve that you will find a way to express yourself through art ~ Enjoy the process and who really cares what it ends up looking like ~ Bonus if it looks good!!!! Rememebr to have fun while creating if you can! Sending you lots of emotional support!!!
“Fahhking forever” 😂😂 you’re hilarious! I love that patchwork, loom thing that you have as your profile banner thingy lol Wooww that bird hutch thing is sooo cool!!
@@TunedOutCrafts haha well you definitely have more discipline than I do. It would take me years to get far in a project like those cabinet lands you made. Either that, or I could finish it within a fortnight and everyone would worry that I was becoming an unsocialized gremlin, not showering or anything 😂 happy Sunday to you too!
So glad that you’ve decided to come back to us. I always looked forward to seeing your videos, now I’m super excited to see what you create. Everything you’ve shown in this video is really wonderful and beautiful.
I’ve fallen asleep with your voice during those very confusing pandemic days… shut off indoors for days/weeks/months… finding you again brings back memories… thanks for finding the courage to come back to connect with your community..
I was just searching the internet for you yesterday! So nice to see you back on YT. I look forward to this new channel. You're so funny, sarcastic, encouraging, calming, and talk about CREATIVE! What a gift; thanks for sharing it.
Gosh, so many thoughts I had watching this! First and foremost, if you put on art exhibit somewhere, I’m so there! Your creative mind is freaking amazing Amanda. No joke, you are the real deal. I didn’t know when we’d hear from you again or what to expect when we did. But I’m so excited to join you on this next chapter. On a more personal note, and I hope this comes across as a compliment, but I sense your raw authentic self coming across. I’ve always loved your videos and obviously your personality is one we’ve all fallen in love with. But there is definitely something different this time around - keep letting that light of yours shine!
You are making me cry. For real. It feels so good to be able to just do whatever, (if you know what I mean) wear whatever, make whatever, and just chill with you. The best part is this! I miss this!
i could only hope to spend many hours with you and indulge in your creative process together...you are so creative and i am so looking forward to seeing how all these projects come together! I have hit a wall in my creativity and know that your channel will help me through it...thank you Amanda for all you do! So excited to get creative!!!🥰
Hate those walls!!!! But we can break them down by getting ideas from others out there. Nautre also offers so much inspiration ~ Thannk you Xandra and I KNOW you will bust through fast! 🤗
Amanda, can't tell you how much I've missed you. Was so concerned about you. Sorry to hear you have been going through a hard time. Never underestimate how much joy you bring into People's lives. You unknowingly helped me through a terrible time, still ongoing... Thank You! You were the first Person I ever watched on RUclips. I learned so much from you. You are amazingly creative and inspiring and a beautiful person. You certainly have been busy. I'm not going ANYWHERE!! I was so excited when you 'Poped' up on the TV. I've only just learned how to send a message. Hope you see it. Love from Down Under❤ Suzanne (Sydney, Australia) 🤗 Big hug to you....🌻
Hi Suzanne!!! Thank you so much for learning how to send a message! Now I have to find it🤣. I really hope that your ordeal ends soon ( not knowing what it is, sorry). I hope you find peace throughout from time to time. Please take care of yourself and be the strong person you are!!!
@@TunedOutCrafts Hi Amanda. I’m thrilled you replied to me - My first reply too! Thanks for your kind words. Given this is a public forum I don’t feel comfortable sharing my problems. I have always used humour to make my way through the tough times, hidden it mostly. I’m not able to do that at the moment. It’s so great to see you back and looking forward to watching you create all those wonderful art pieces you showed us. It’s so positive I wouldn’t want to take anything away from that. Honestly, your head must hurt with all those ideas bouncing around in there🥴🤭…..🙂 I hope you are enjoying all the wonderful things everyone is saying about you as you deserve it!! It’s a shame about the time difference (whatever that is, I don’t know where you are) as I’m not able to interact live
Hi Amanda, I accidentally sent my reply 🙄🤦🏼♀️….it’s 5.30am Wednesday 1/5(you date other way so 1st May )your time, 7.30pm my time so I’m 12hrs ahead of you. Just wanted to finish up. Notice how many troubled people you help? Much better than therapy. It is weird yet at the same time seems like you said, that we are talking to each other. I feel I know you, not in a weird way, wouldn’t want you to think that. Think I’ll quit wh ile I’m behind - not sure if you guys have that saying. Anyway, bye for now, welcome back, no need to be nervous, understandable just not necessary-you are very brave. The peace I find is when I watch you and a couple of other people on RUclips. Don’t feel so alone. I don’t sleep well so depending when you post I might see it at the time. You take care too, good luck, not that you need it 🎉 Happy New Channel ❤🤗🌻🦋, Suzanne 🪴
Just seeing you in my screen is enough to keep me here Amanda! I'm excited to try out some of these things. But also... please still help us with our plants!!!!! All my planty knowledge comes into my brain in your voice!
I’m so glad you have returned. Shamelessly, I checked every day. I loved the art you created on your plant videos. Can’t wait to see your newer creations.
Thank you ~ I have to start working on it again. I gave away some of the animals so I will make a few more! The disco is a bit challangeing and I have to think about the last shelf.
Thank you for being back. Giving me hope with my path that went drastically different. Everything happens for a reason. So thank you... Really appreciate it ❤
Well I could always tell you had the heart of a creative, I love that you're going to share your processes with us. Thank you Amanda.Just be yourself Girl that's all we need.
DUDE!!!! HOLY SHIT these are INCREDIBLE!!!! Like all of them are so original and fun. I love how you can just sit and stare at the artwork, or the interactive ones you made are super cool!!!! i love all crafting and my cricut die cutting machine and i love plants... You're just such a cool person
Thank you so much ~ I sometimes feel like what is the point of making these things, but I kind of can't stop trying to see if I can do it. Mainly, its the process that is so rewarding. The laser is pretty cool ~ right!
@@TunedOutCrafts I do love the laser, I bet it makes crafting like that so easy! I also really love your peep hole dressers and boxes!!😍 Like how long did it take you to create that scenery in each of them?! It is PURE GENIUS. The leaf skeleton, literally looks like a high end expensive piece of wall art you buy for thousands! Like it’s just seriously all so fun and cool!!! 😎
Hi Amanda from New Zealand. Awesome to see you back, you have been missed. Pretty in Green did give us updates so yes I subscribed to your new channel asap. You have been my youtube friend since I started my planty hobbie so you were truly missed. Thank you so much for coming back to us.🥰
I wish you were my neighbor because I’d love to make all of these things with you! I’ll settle for through the screen. Welcome back! So excited to have your energy around again. ❤
Amanda how awesome I’m an artist love mixed media and majored in printmaking I love all of your art so looking forward to your process. Amazing love from ME, USA
Amanda you don’t need a degree, from what I’ve seen I love it and I always say art is from the heart❤ Don’t doubt yourself you got this! Ps save the porch deck boards I’m sure you’ll be able to create something with them❤ I love everything you showed today can’t wait to see more!!!❤❤❤
I followed you for years before and as soon as I saw you were back I subscribed. I also have to say that this new channel which is encouraging self expression and creativity is so exciting and hopeful... so THANK YOU! You are so incredibly creative and talented!!! I have a painting I stopped working on a several months back when my health took a short turn for the worse and now, I'm only 7 minutes in to your video and inspired to pick up the brushes again. Maybe it will be more of what I started or something totally different but it will BE. Welcome back and I hope you soar to new heights in all ways positive! 🤩🤗
Hi Tracy!! I am so glad to hear that you want to pick up your brush again. And let it change direction because, most likely you are feeling something different now. Seeing evolution of time in one peice makes it more interesting ( at least i think so). Thank you for writing and I am rooting for you!
I'm so glad you've started this channel. I love creativity...but never liked the feeling of having to make it "perfect". I already know with you at the helm, we have creative license to be ourselves. Thank you, thank you for your courage to dream, to build, create & in doing so, help others to dream again. 🤩
Hi Amanda, my son Myles at Airhersalderaz has just about summed up our message to you. I just wanted to say stay strong, enjoy your channel and creativity. It might feel like an effort right now, but I think it is what you need. That is how it was for me. Life is all about creativity. So dive in and have fun. From Shirley xx
Hi there Shirly! Yes, I read his comment and I can't get it out of my head. You two are so lucky to have eachother and the combined determination you share is powerful! Please let me know if I can help you in any way. With much love, Amanda
I miss you like it’s embarrassing HOW MUCH ❤😂❤❤❤❤❤
You are hilarious!!! 🤗
@@TunedOutCraftsBut she's so right, you really were missed. You kept so many of us sane through lockdown, helped us with plant problems, shared your home and family with us, made us laugh. We love you so much. ❤

Thank you so much!! ♥️
@MakeitWithAmanda excited to working with you and learning through all those fun projects!!!!
Sooo very glad you are w/us again. When & if please show us how to make the broken mirror mosaic you did...so amazing.
THE COMEBACK IS GREATER THAN THE SET BACK!!!
Chris - I didn't know you are a poet! or is that from a rap? 🤣
Hi Amanda, it's so lovely to see you again. Me and my mom, Shirley, found you two years ago, just a few months after my Dad suddenly passed away. Our lives where turned upside down as we are a very close small family and share everything together.
Besides our faith and beliefs, there where a few things that gave us strength and kept us going, and your videos where one of them. They gave us tremendous inspiration into loving and appreciating plants like never before (I wasn't even a 'plant person' myself) styling them and caring for them, finding and collecting new and exciting varieties and learning about them, mostly through your fun and informative presentations. Loving plants helped to make a big whole in our hearts less empty.
It also inspired my mom to start her own channel. This motivated me to be the one man editor, camera, lighting and sound crew of the channel and help my mom think of ideas.
In short, your videos helped to heal and bring us back and we will be forever grateful.
To us your like a good friend we haven't met. We're very sorry about your own family loss and what you've been through. All your hard work and time on planterina should be yours to keep and benefit from even with a rebrand and regardless of what happened with the videos, which, again is thoroughly unfair on you.
Both my mom's channel and my own have been frozen since early last August when our neighbour's lawnmower backfired while we where out and caused a fire which blackened half the house, destroying huge amounts of belongings and our power supply, boiler and gas. We where hauled up in accommodation for months before we personally cleaned the safe part of the house of grey ash and bought generators and caravan batteries and used them for power and our stove for heating and manged to move back in in November (with great struggling.)
A month ago we finally had our power restored and will have our boiler back in a fortnight.
So we are hoping to get ourselves up and running again sometime soon and start recording again.
Amazingly, your new video popped up tonight for us. We'd looked for you before, but couldn't find any way of sending you a message.
We just wanted to let you know all this and send you some love, support and thanks.
We look forward to your new videos, whatever you decide to make them about and hope you see this and know you've got some friends across the pond ( in England! ) we've missed you too!
Love from Myles & Shirley Thomas (Shirls DeVine Styling left a comment too) ❤
Your story really hit me hard and just shows how strong, motivated and determined you both are. I wish I lived by so I could have helped you. I can imagine how much it took to get back in your home. I am so inspired by your rejection of giving up. Please let me know if I can help in any way. You can email me makeitwithamanda@gmail.com ~ Sending you love ❤️
Amanda so glad to have you back. Because of you my house is like a jungle now. No more dead plants. Thanks for everything and just being you. Welcome back.❤😘😀
I'm LOVING it ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
"I LOVE YOUR BRAIN !" ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Amanda. Xox ❤
Its actually made of putty🤣♥️
This is way too cool, I can’t wait!!!
None of us get out alive and we ALL go through something. Your audience appreciates you and we stand with you. Thanks for all your past, present and future videos!
This video's timing is so meaningful to me. I am being treated for ptsd and am finding out that art is a part of my healing but it's hard to get the confidence and motivation to get going. Thank you for being you and sharing your gifts with us. Blessings
The only thing worse than failing is never trying. I am posititve that you will find a way to express yourself through art ~ Enjoy the process and who really cares what it ends up looking like ~ Bonus if it looks good!!!! Rememebr to have fun while creating if you can! Sending you lots of emotional support!!!
“Fahhking forever” 😂😂 you’re hilarious! I love that patchwork, loom thing that you have as your profile banner thingy lol
Wooww that bird hutch thing is sooo cool!!
Thanks Sandra ~ Seems like everything I am making now takes sooo long to finish ~ Like I am punishing myself for something.. Have a great Sunday!
@@TunedOutCrafts haha well you definitely have more discipline than I do. It would take me years to get far in a project like those cabinet lands you made. Either that, or I could finish it within a fortnight and everyone would worry that I was becoming an unsocialized gremlin, not showering or anything 😂 happy Sunday to you too!
Sending you hugs and blessings. I am so sorry for your loss.
Welcome back🙌🏻
Thank you Carolyn...I am sending you lots of love and a giant hug!
So glad that you’ve decided to come back to us. I always looked forward to seeing your videos, now I’m super excited to see what you create. Everything you’ve shown in this video is really wonderful and beautiful.
Thank you so much Dwight! This means so much to me and I am so thankful that you are letting me into your world!
I’ve fallen asleep with your voice during those very confusing pandemic days… shut off indoors for days/weeks/months… finding you again brings back memories… thanks for finding the courage to come back to connect with your community..
I was just searching the internet for you yesterday! So nice to see you back on YT. I look forward to this new channel. You're so funny, sarcastic, encouraging, calming, and talk about CREATIVE! What a gift; thanks for sharing it.
Laura, Many thanks for caring and allowing me to be in your thoughts. Seriously! I am so honored.
Gosh, so many thoughts I had watching this! First and foremost, if you put on art exhibit somewhere, I’m so there! Your creative mind is freaking amazing Amanda. No joke, you are the real deal. I didn’t know when we’d hear from you again or what to expect when we did. But I’m so excited to join you on this next chapter. On a more personal note, and I hope this comes across as a compliment, but I sense your raw authentic self coming across. I’ve always loved your videos and obviously your personality is one we’ve all fallen in love with. But there is definitely something different this time around - keep letting that light of yours shine!
You are making me cry. For real. It feels so good to be able to just do whatever, (if you know what I mean) wear whatever, make whatever, and just chill with you. The best part is this! I miss this!
I am excited about all of this! Amanda you are back! Missed you so much!
i could only hope to spend many hours with you and indulge in your creative process together...you are so creative and i am so looking forward to seeing how all these projects come together! I have hit a wall in my creativity and know that your channel will help me through it...thank you Amanda for all you do! So excited to get creative!!!🥰
Hate those walls!!!! But we can break them down by getting ideas from others out there. Nautre also offers so much inspiration ~ Thannk you Xandra and I KNOW you will bust through fast! 🤗
Amanda, do u even understand HOW talented u r ?i d buy some of these things!!! It’s pure art!!!
So happy to see you back Amanda. Will be watching your new videos ❤
❤missed you! So glad you are back !
Amanda, can't tell you how much I've missed you. Was so concerned about you. Sorry to hear you have been going through a hard time. Never underestimate how much joy you bring into People's lives. You unknowingly helped me through a terrible time, still ongoing... Thank You!
You were the first Person I ever watched on RUclips. I learned so much from you. You are amazingly creative and inspiring and a beautiful person. You certainly have been busy.
I'm not going ANYWHERE!! I was so excited when you 'Poped' up on the TV. I've only just learned how to send a message. Hope you see it.
Love from Down Under❤
Suzanne (Sydney, Australia) 🤗 Big hug to you....🌻
Hi Suzanne!!! Thank you so much for learning how to send a message! Now I have to find it🤣. I really hope that your ordeal ends soon ( not knowing what it is, sorry). I hope you find peace throughout from time to time. Please take care of yourself and be the strong person you are!!!
@@TunedOutCrafts Hi Amanda. I’m thrilled you replied to me - My first reply too! Thanks for your kind words. Given this is a public forum I don’t feel comfortable sharing my problems. I have always used humour to make my way through the tough times, hidden it mostly. I’m not able to do that at the moment. It’s so great to see you back and looking forward to watching you create all those wonderful art pieces you showed us. It’s so positive I wouldn’t want to take anything away from that. Honestly, your head must hurt with all those ideas bouncing around in there🥴🤭…..🙂
I hope you are enjoying all the wonderful things everyone is saying about you as you deserve it!!
It’s a shame about the time difference (whatever that is, I don’t know where you are) as I’m not able to interact live
Hi Amanda, I accidentally sent my reply 🙄🤦🏼♀️….it’s 5.30am Wednesday 1/5(you date other way so 1st May )your time, 7.30pm my time so I’m 12hrs ahead of you. Just wanted to finish up. Notice how many troubled people you help? Much better than therapy. It is weird yet at the same time seems like you said, that we are talking to each other. I feel I know you, not in a weird way, wouldn’t want you to think that. Think I’ll quit wh ile I’m behind - not sure if you guys have that saying.
Anyway, bye for now, welcome back, no need to be nervous, understandable just not necessary-you are very brave. The peace I find is when I watch you and a couple of other people on RUclips. Don’t feel so alone. I don’t sleep well so depending when you post I might see it at the time.
You take care too, good luck, not that you need it 🎉 Happy New Channel ❤🤗🌻🦋, Suzanne 🪴
Just seeing you in my screen is enough to keep me here Amanda! I'm excited to try out some of these things. But also... please still help us with our plants!!!!! All my planty knowledge comes into my brain in your voice!
I will try!! I think you know more than I do at this point though!!🤣
The banana trio is awesome. Glad you are back!
Thank you ~ Sexy Fruit🤣
The queen is back!!!! 🙌🏼
😬🤣
I’m so glad you have returned. Shamelessly, I checked every day. I loved the art you created on your plant videos. Can’t wait to see your newer creations.
Thank you for caring Donna and for being so nice! ♥️
It's great to see you again Amanda x
Thank you! It feels so good to be with you all.
I adore the cupboard with the spy holes!!! So freaking neat!!!
Thank you ~ I have to start working on it again. I gave away some of the animals so I will make a few more! The disco is a bit challangeing and I have to think about the last shelf.
Thank you for being back. Giving me hope with my path that went drastically different. Everything happens for a reason. So thank you... Really appreciate it ❤
Hi Chris. I hope you can clear a new path for yourself that is paved by you. Sending you support and love!
Well I could always tell you had the heart of a creative, I love that you're going to share your processes with us. Thank you Amanda.Just be yourself Girl that's all we need.
Awe, shucks ~ You are going to see the ugly parts too!🤣 Thanks for the advice!!!
Thank you for coming back we wish you the best 😊
Thank you too for coming back ~ I soooo apprecaite it!
DUDE!!!! HOLY SHIT these are INCREDIBLE!!!! Like all of them are so original and fun. I love how you can just sit and stare at the artwork, or the interactive ones you made are super cool!!!! i love all crafting and my cricut die cutting machine and i love plants... You're just such a cool person
Thank you so much ~ I sometimes feel like what is the point of making these things, but I kind of can't stop trying to see if I can do it. Mainly, its the process that is so rewarding. The laser is pretty cool ~ right!
@@TunedOutCrafts I do love the laser, I bet it makes crafting like that so easy! I also really love your peep hole dressers and boxes!!😍 Like how long did it take you to create that scenery in each of them?! It is PURE GENIUS. The leaf skeleton, literally looks like a high end expensive piece of wall art you buy for thousands! Like it’s just seriously all so fun and cool!!! 😎
Hi Amanda from New Zealand.
Awesome to see you back, you have been missed. Pretty in Green did give us updates so yes I subscribed to your new channel asap. You have been my youtube friend since I started my planty hobbie so you were truly missed. Thank you so much for coming back to us.🥰
I so appreciate you Joanne and I am also very appreciative for @prettyingreen for helping me find my way back. Thank you!!!
I wish you were my neighbor because I’d love to make all of these things with you! I’ll settle for through the screen. Welcome back! So excited to have your energy around again. ❤
I was like~ Did I make a screen🤣 ~ But now I get it ~ I would be thrilled to have the company!
So glad to have you back, you were missed bless your heart.!!!!❤️
I’m at a loss of words. Where have you been hiding all this talent?
Had too many plants to take care of🤣
Amanda how awesome I’m an artist love mixed media and majored in printmaking I love all of your art so looking forward to your process. Amazing love from ME, USA
Now I am nervous!!! I am not educated in the arts and you will soon see that! But it is still fun to figure it out along the way. Love you you!!
Amanda you don’t need a degree, from what I’ve seen I love it and I always say art is from the heart❤ Don’t doubt yourself you got this! Ps save the porch deck boards I’m sure you’ll be able to create something with them❤ I love everything you showed today can’t wait to see more!!!❤❤❤
Omg I love the bird disco! 🤣 it’s so cute! The peep holes are so unique and a fun surprise. Love them.
Thank you! I will explain the process on how the idea started and how to make them! There are many ways to do it! Huge hugs!!
So VERY happy you are back!!! You are in my Prayers sweet lady and Thank You for coming back!!!
Thank you so much! Sending love and hugs to you!
I followed you for years before and as soon as I saw you were back I subscribed. I also have to say that this new channel which is encouraging self expression and creativity is so exciting and hopeful... so THANK YOU! You are so incredibly creative and talented!!! I have a painting I stopped working on a several months back when my health took a short turn for the worse and now, I'm only 7 minutes in to your video and inspired to pick up the brushes again. Maybe it will be more of what I started or something totally different but it will BE. Welcome back and I hope you soar to new heights in all ways positive! 🤩🤗
Hi Tracy!! I am so glad to hear that you want to pick up your brush again. And let it change direction because, most likely you are feeling something different now. Seeing evolution of time in one peice makes it more interesting ( at least i think so). Thank you for writing and I am rooting for you!
“I wanna make it with you “
-Bread
🤣
I'm so glad you've started this channel. I love creativity...but never liked the feeling of having to make it "perfect". I already know with you at the helm, we have creative license to be ourselves. Thank you, thank you for your courage to dream, to build, create & in doing so, help others to dream again. 🤩
Amanda!!!!! So glad to have you back ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Adrienne ~ I am so happy to be back and be welcomed so warmly. I feel so lucky.
@@TunedOutCrafts we love you and we are lucky!!!
Love that you are sharing all your creativity with us❤
I am so glad you are even slighlty interested. Seriously!
Hi Amanda, my son Myles at Airhersalderaz has just about summed up our message to you. I just wanted to say stay strong, enjoy your channel and creativity. It might feel like an effort right now, but I think it is what you need. That is how it was for me.
Life is all about creativity. So dive in and have fun. From Shirley xx
Hi there Shirly! Yes, I read his comment and I can't get it out of my head. You two are so lucky to have eachother and the combined determination you share is powerful! Please let me know if I can help you in any way. With much love, Amanda
The skeletonized leaves 😍💀
But really, everything you've shown is beautiful😊💚
Thanks James! Those leaves take forever to de-flesh😫 but they are so beautiful ( at least I think so)
You are so amazingly talented. I look forward to learning even more from you! Thank you for sharing
So excited to try new ideas and projects. Hopefully we can all learn something along the way. Hugs to you!!
