    I love to listen to your calm voice. So many people on the internet are speaking loud and like they are in a hurry all the time. I have an hearing problem, so its very difficult to understand what someones is saying when it goes so quick. And I like your crafting too. It's very inspiring. Thank you for all those wonderful videos.

    Ceri I laughed out loud about your American words. I have lived in all regions of America and have picked up all the colloquial words. Now, I watch many youtubers from Great Britain and my new words are dodgy, Figity, knackered around, and many others. I love❤ your process videos. I am a late bloomer in the art world, but I am enjoying it.

    Hi Ceri I have been following your channel for a while and you have inspired me so much. However I do have a little tip for you and this is through my own trials and tribulations; instead of using cling film try a ziplock freezer bag, they work the same and you can wash the pritt-stick off and reuse them, saving money and the environment 😊 it works for me ❤ Michelle ❤️

    Yes heard of it in the last 12 months and I’m not going anywhere but my craft and household stuff was chocking me. I didn’t have family and thought my nieces and nephews wouldn’t thank me. So have spent about 3 months doing one drawer or one cupboard at a time. It’s been fantastic and made the place less cluttered and easier to clean and I feel so much better. Great idea and then you can just focus on a smaller area of craft etc.

  • @tammyholland349
    @tammyholland349 10 месяцев назад +1

    Hey you wonderful creator. I hate to break it to you, but you are a creator and a very creative one at that. Most creative people’s minds work really fast and if your chronic pain is like mine your body’s not keeping up. If your commenters don’t understand that maybe they need to and show a little appreciation for your kindness and courage in showing how to do something you love. Nobody’s perfect, but I think you’re pretty good at explaining how to. I have chemo brain and can only focus on one thing at a time and a newbie at 64 years of age. Don’t listen or think about negativity only positivity. I guarantee you will have more positive than negative. You give me a lot of inspiration and I love your creative style. Thanks vintage paper girl.

      I am so sorry, I was typing this message for the vintage paper girl, I watch her, you and Gayle a lot. I’m a slow old woman and it changed in the middle of, I thought it went to her. I don’t think you need confidence or would listen and let your viewers make you feel bad, or you shouldn’t. Now I don’t know how to send the message to her, I felt sorry for her, the comments made her want to quit. Thanks for responding to a silly old woman.

    Ceri: I simply like what you did. No crafter should ever apologize for anything that happens on a video. I feel very strong on that point. Videos are time consuming and are not always easy to produce. The viewer needs to understand that. Carol-GofG from California

    I always enjoy your videos and would never skip or speed up. I like hearing what you share (on or off the subject of crafting) and the tips you have about different processes. Your videos are never too long. Also I liked seeing how you handled and solved the problem of not liking anything you tried on the last tag. It's helpful and great for learning to see how you came to a conclusion. Also, that is a lot of comments to deal with while you have so much going on. Maybe just a thumbs up unless there's a question. I think people will understand. You're only one person and can only do so much. Thank you for your hard work! ❤
