    I love that Lila did a lemonade stand... I remember doing that as a kid and loved it! After sitting out for a while and not making any sales, some construction workers stopped by with empty big gulp cups and bought all we had... so much fun! Thanks for all of your inspirational videos!

    I have never done any type of stitching throughout my life; however, you make it look like FUN and I am going to try it. Since Lila did such a wonderful job, I may be able to do it as well.. I really liked her idea of using a "shimmer" pen on the threads. You are all a true inspiration to everyone---THANKS!

    I’ve just recently discovered you, Jennifer McGuire, and I love the way you share handmade kindness. What a fantastic tagline. I really love this stitched idea because the holes in linen just got too small and now I can stitch again with a whole new look. It’s nice to meet you!

    I think the sentiment of Share Handmade Kindness is a beautiful one. I have a button that you donated to those who attended the Junkie Fest last year and I love it. I love to stitch and I can't wait to do some of these cards. I am delighted for you that you get to spend time crafting with Lila. She is very creative in her right. These are precious memories that you are making, take it from a great grandma. I love your videos no matter the length.

    I would watch your videos even if they were longer than a Bollywood movie!! ( which are 3 hours long).
    They are never too long for me. Even if I have to stop and start again later. No problem.
    You have so many brilliant ideas and have taught me so much over the years! I don’t know how anyone could ever complain about a long video from you! And every time you have your little guest star, Lila, it is extra special. She has some Great talent already!
    To spend a day crafting with you would probably be any one of us crafters out here in you tube land’s dream come true. So watching your videos while we craft or even just wish we could be crafting is the next best thing! The longer the better!
    Anyone else agree with me?
    Share Handmade Kindness! Always!

    Lila has her Mom's imagination! Tanks for showing her working on her cards. I love to "share handmade kindness" with people who don't expect a card from me. It is harder to gather mailing addresses without phone books these days. Asking them for their addresses leave them wondering why you are asking, so I usually wait a few weeks before I inhabit their mail box.

My daughter is two (her name is Layla) and I hope that one day we will craft together in the same way that you do. Perhaps in years to come she will be watching Lila's RUclips videos for tips and inspiration in the same way that I watch yours, Jen! Thanks for all that you do x From those of us far away in NZ xo

    Thanks so much for your inspiring videos! Lila is a doll and so talented! I purchased your Share Handmade Kindness stamp and once made 50 ATCs with your stamp on ink blended bases using Kristina Werner’s Distress Oxide Inks tutorials. The ATCs using the oranges background tutorials were my favorite. They were for a paper crafting event created by Maymay Helms called Maymay’s Made It Con, which is a yearly event - I just attended, virtually of course, the third one this weekend for which I made 100 of the ATCs, I also use the stamp throughout the year. Thanks again for your inspirations!
