      Your comment brought up a couple of wet eyes. I don’t remember either of my grandmothers. I don’t have the relation with my grandchildren and great grands that I would like. The ones who show their love are in other states.

      You should adopt an older person in your neighborhood who may live alone or might be in an assisted living facility. I’m sure they’d love to have a regular visitor they can count on. Take your kids or grandkids and you could be giving that person one of the best gifts they ever received in their life. Love!

So that should show you that you are truly doing great things that have positive impacts on people. If two complete strangers have the exact same experiences. It shows what we say must be true. Even having a positive impact on just one person will bring their energy vibration high, (which is fastest achieved when we feel loved and appreciated) their energy will bring others around them to higher positive vibrations, "In the vortex" Abraham teaches. You have impacted more than one person. It might take some time so don't despair. KEEP GOING! ❤ p.s. Your cards are amazing! So beautiful, they blow store bought cards out of the water!

      It's sooooo interesting to see the hodgepodge of people from all corners of the internet getting this pushed into their algorithm, for whatever reason.
      And the seemingly universal comfort and nostalgia it seems to bring people , like it is gathering the world's grandchildren into a cozy and warm knitted blanket with a chocolate chip cookie, for a few moments of peace and serenity, away from all the chaos around us.
      I also watch a lot of science, firearms/ and government co rrup tion content, and courtroom/crime related content, so this was an unexpected breath of fresh air for me 😊
      I think the world is in desperate need of THIS kind of slow paced, calming and healing content in their daily lives, and I think the algorithm pushing content like this (rather than the constant barrage of fear mongering and stupid trends and misinformation) should be applauded and appreciated for once!

      I don't know how it is in the US but in Australia if you buy something more often hardware stores will have a ton of cardboard boxes of all sizes behind the registers like in the path where you leave. And you can grab as many as you can carry to put all your hardware bits in. Aldi is much the same. You find one of their opened top boxes carrying a few items, canned food is always in short open topped boxes only a few inches tall, and you throw the cans on the shelf and use that shallow box instead of your carry bag/tote and the cashiers are used to it.

    You can also stamp with Vaseline, spray alcohol all over the paper, then add the alcohol ink if you want lighter colors. With the paper being wet first your alcohol ink will really spread fast. I love the second paper. Gorgeous 😍

    I’m not quite sure how I ventured upon this video, have no clue what she’s doing. But I close my eyes and I just listen to her talk, I’m 50 years old I lost my grandmother many years ago and just listening to this woman reminding me of her, and I could hear my grandmother‘s voice, as she taught me how to sew Barbie clothes when I was a little girl. Before I knew it, tears were rolling down my face as I miss her dearly. That being said I hope and pray this lovely lady is well and again I don’t know how this video popped up for me but I’m so glad it did…

    Just a tip I thought I'd share with you, after doing the vaseline stamps try spraying the whole card with alcohol first and then do the drops of alcohol ink. It spreads faster and it should give you that lighter look you're going for. I remember learning this technique as a child in art class and always thought it was so pretty. Awesome to see you using it to make such lovely cards! Every single one was beautiful! I just came across your channel and definitely will be subscribing.
