Girl!! Don’t you let anyone ever make you feel bad or like your leaving someone out. You go above and beyond what you need to in order to share so much of your incredible work. You are always sharing freebies or ways to do things without purchasing your digitals. At the end of the day, this is your business and your income so of course you are going to advertise YOUR items!! Your kindness is one of the reasons we keep coming back for more. If the Negative Nancy’s want to whine about something please don’t give them another thought. They aren’t being forced to watch the content you take your time to put together and in my opinion, I think your doing an amazing job and you are someone I am always inspired by. Keep being you because I love you. Your amazing 😻
Absolutely agree with the above comments. I am lucky enough to be in a position to purchase digitals as and when. Your digitals are incredibly good value considering the amount of work and detail that goes into them. Also in addition to videos you make that use your kits you often will make a separate "no kit" version that is probably more complicated to make requiring more preparation time by you. So thank you Tracie and know that the vast majority of us are totally supportive of all you do for us. ♥️🙏♥️
I’ve been following you for a couple of years and I don’t care what anyone says you are so accommodating you always make things with and/or without kits and you have the best freebies…. I know there are lots of us that love you to pieces!!!
You just can’t make everyone happy. I get that everyone can’t afford all the goodies, but that is where creativity blooms, and you have proven that. These are great! ♥️
Please Tracy, don't EVER feel the need to apologize. You have always been incredibly generous sharing your time and creativeness with us all. This is your chanel and if you use it to promote your business that is absolutely fine too! Who is not on board has a choice to scoot elsewhere. I absolutely LOVE your content and having a chance to drink a cup of tea watching your makes is a real treat for me! THANK YOU for all you do Daily fir us to enjoy!
Don’t give “them” anymore airtime, ignore or block people asking for too, too much! My goodness you are so giving! I can’t thank you enough! Keep promoting, I love seeing what you’ve come up with!
I love the way you showed a printable and a 'make-your-own' version of the Entomology Passport. You have great creativity. Thank you for all you do, I love your kits.
It was very kind of you to make this video! Beautiful job!! You gotta do what you gotta do to promote your business!! Making tutorials using your items should not cause guilt in any way, shape or form! You are an amazing artist. Thank you again!!
You are more than generous with your freebies and on every channel I watch they promote their products...it's a business and I would expect nothing less. Keep up your awesome and creative videos and thanks for all you do!
Traci you do an absolutely amazing job at making your projects inclusive for everyone! I appreciate all you do & I adore you & your channel. Keep doing you! ❤
PLEASE NEVER APOLOGIZE, your kits are fabulous and get sooo much for the money!!! Plus all the FREEBIES!!! I love when you show us how you use your kits. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Tracie, you are so gracious for apologizing, but you shouldn’t have to for several reasons! You specifically told us several times in your video about posting a non-digital kit version coming our way. Second, as crafters, all of your videos are so self explanatory we can easily figure out how to make a version on our own without the kit. Third, your digital kits are always exquisite and we are so blessed to have access to them. You are more than generous with your freebies and we all know that making and selling your kits is how you make some of your money. I am very blessed to have purchased many of your kits, please do not let these people discourage you. You are amazing and we love you and your work! Hugs! ❤️❤️❤️
Tracie, you go out of your way to try to make everyone happy, but you can't. I personally love ❤ all you do. I purchase your kits, and am always blown away by your generosity with the freebies !!😊 Keep smiling, remember you rock!!!
Please don't apologize for promoting your own kits. They are lovely and you should show them in your video's. You are not here to please everyone. If someone is creative it would be no problem to adapt if you can't afford every kit. You do you, cause it's your channel! And I love it! ❤ Btw, love your red nails!
It's a shame some people are that way. Why would anyone think you'd create beautiful kits and then not use them? That's ridiculous. Just keep being the beautiful person you are and ignore those type of people 😊
How sad that someone would complain about you selling and promoting your kits. They are not that much and not only that but if they can’t afford it then they can try another site. We all have to have a job and make money and this happened to be yours. It takes a lot of your time to make those kits and time is money. You’re so sweet to actually do one that is not kit. You’re a better person then most are. Bless you.
You shouldn't feel the need to apologize for putting together a kit and selling it. I love when there are videos that coincide with kits I buy for inspiration. People just love to hate on others for anything.
Tracie, what you are doing is just fine, no one does Freebies like you, people just love to complain, ignore it. Love what you have created, I made some too, thank you so much for all you do, thank you for sharing, big hugs.
Tracie, yesterday I was excited to purchase your entomology passport kit to play with because I am in the middle of packing my house up for a cross-country move and REALLY need a distraction, something fun to do in the late afternoon after a busy day. Today I'm making notes (and I saved this vid, of course) to refer back to when I create a journal of all the backyard critters I've been able to experience here in the desert in southern California. THANK YOU for EVERYTHING you do for us!!! You are so kind and wonderful and I, for one, count myself blessed to have you as my teacher. Hugs, MK 🤗❤️🌵❤️🤗
I agree with the creator who said not to let yourself feel bad about the whiners. Some people are never happy, and I wish they’d take their negativity into another outlet. Money is very tight for us right now, but because I was so aggravated by her comments and all the extra work you had to go through, I purchased your digi-kit. It’s superb and I thank you for the amazing thought and effort you put into this project. Bravo!!! Love your videos, kits and everything else you bring to us. Blessings from Ohio, USA🙏
These look great! No need to apologize for promoting your own kits - it's your livelihood. Appreciate that you do give options though. Love your crafting all around!
You are one the MOST generous people I know. You offer tons of freebies and I remember when you had to redraw winners several times when you had physical giveaways that you were mailing out. But, besides all that, you continuously offer free options for most of your ideas. You say over and over again that you don't have to use a kit. You are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Tracy never pay attention to those types of comments. You are the most generous, considerate, and accommodating makers. Some people!! Really! they are so ridiculous !!!
Thrift/charity stores often have receipt books and other office supplies like file folders etc, old magazines and books. Dollar stores have ink, glues, transfers and stamps and stickers. I don’t have old documents but i consider it a challenge to locate materials. I save instructions from things and often they have other languages too. Start with paper bags, dye with coffee or tea, dry then crumple them. Grab industrial paper towels if a local restroom has any. Create a fake name plate. Get a stencil to make butterflies using a colored pencil instead of paint. There are always thrifty ways to recreate materials. Make it a challenge. Tracie, call people out as a challenge and have them show you how they can make these from junk. Your creations are indeed awesome and you offer ideas and instructions. It’s up to us how we use that!
Actually hilarious that somebody criticized you for advertising your digitals on your channel. They obviously have not watched your channel, like ever, and did not watch/listen to your video yesterday where you said you would show how to make one without the digitals. You are one of the most generous creators, so it just proves that there will be a negative person or two that creep up every now and then, no matter what you do. You had nothing to apologize for at all. You did everything right. Love you and thank you for all that you do for us!!!
😍❤️ Obviously that person is not a regular viewer because they never would have uttered those words. You are more than generous with your freebies and with your kit and non kit tutorials.
Yesterdays video was wonderful as was this one and every one you take your time and energy to make. Please do not ever apologise for promoting your own fabulous kits. I was so sad when I heard you describing how someone complained. That was a very selfish and unkind comment without any truth. Do not dwell on such comments, you are a very clever, talented and generous artist and I thank you very much for the inspiration and creativity you share x
This is the fourth unrelated RU-vid video where comments are addressing inconsiderate individuals voicing whiny rude comments. There must be a full moon somewhere 😅 there are too many people with nothing better to do than vomit up idiocy! Tracey thank you for how considerate you ALWAYS are!
I agree with those who are saying you have nothing to apologize for! You are so giving with your time, talent and freebies! I actually think I love the non-kit version best. But they are both such fun. Love our Field Notes stamps, for sure!
These turned out wonderful. It is so kind of you to find a way to share projects that everyone can do. This is very inspiring! Really enjoy your videos and always get great ideas. Xo, Julie🦋🐞🌱🌸🌱
I am so sorry that there are people out there who make you feel bad about what YOU are doing on YOUR channel. You are always so generous with providing excellent instructions with many varieties for every supply, not to mention the freebies that you share with us. Of course, your digitals are lovely, and not hugely expensive , and by the way, this is how you make your living. I am certain that you are not pulling in enough money to go to Tahiti on holiday - You Tube is not famous for lottery-style payments!! Honestly, you have nothing for which to apologize. We love you and thank you for sharing your talents with us.
i can feel the distress in your voice when you mentioned the "Monas" ( moaners). YOu are so generous with your teaching talents, and your freebies, plus you do "no Kit" versions as well!! Please dont let them erode your confidence and well being. I love your work!
Im sorry to hear people are so rude. I love your videos and adapt them to what i have on hand. Plus, its your channel and you CAN promote your products. ❤
You are right. It is her channel and yes she can promote what she is selling. The one thing I would add though is junk journaling of old has been taken over completely now by crafters on line just making money. I remember when junk journaling was literally about junk and stuff one has around the house. There is no art involved with printing off an image and sticking it down on something. Also some crafters that show off their pets even have on their sites information about the pets favourite treats so you are funding their pets too ! A bit cheeky ! I personally cannot get all these things they sell but manage without them. Looking at the amount of kits they keep bringing out it does seem like a bit of a racket. I love all our crafters they are great but wish they would concentrate more on the crafting and a lot less on flogging their wares.
Reading through the comments supporting you makes me glad there are so many who appreciate your kindness and your talent. I can't say it any better than anyone else, but you ARE amazing and those whiners can just tune into someone else if they don't appreciate your time, talents and efforts to make junk journaling available to everyone.
Wow some people have a lot of nerve. You are very generous with your freebies, your endless videos. I love your kits. Everyone uses Tracie fox labels. I know I do. You also are running a business. Keep it coming Tracie.
First of all-your nails look FABULOUS! Love that red! Second-YOU are fabulous! Ignore those Negative Nellies and keep being your wonderful self who is already incredibly generous and thoughtful to all of us out here in cyber-land who learn and receive from you on the daily. Much love to you from Missouri ❤️
Promoting your own kits is the idea of your own channel. It’s your lively hood. I don’t know of any other crafter who offers no kit video versions of their projects. You are generous to a fault! I remember showing some Christmas cards I was making for charity. You kindly offered to design “made by” labels for me at no cost. 😊❤😊
I’m shocked!! You are amazing and I’ve mentioned how happy I am to have found your channel. I watch bc of you and your talent. Please don’t change. Trying to be someone else to please others is a waste of the person you are. And your simply wonderful. Their are others that love to see how to use your kits. Stay you and know you are so appreciated. ❤
I have recently started to watch you faithfully. I am happy that you do have such an eclectic approach. I love tree reusing old things and intermixing some new printed ephemera. I don't have an unlimited supply of ink. My husband calls me out everytime i order more ink. So anyway i would like to thank you for the freebies you do supply and also for your free tutorials. You do not have to apologize in anyway for how you run your channel.
I’m less than a minute into your video, and I had to comment. I’m pretty sure if you gave those people free digitals with tutorials for how to use them, they would still find something to complain about. You SHOULD promote your digitals, that is part of your business, plus your prices are really reasonable. You don’t owe anyone anything, and your talent and time are valuable. The gall of some people truly amazes me.
#2 If you were already making this video (before reading the victim comments) great, but I’m begging you not to give in to people like that. You do you. If you give an inch, they will want a mile. This victim mentality is a big part of what’s wrong with the world today, and it makes me sick.
You are amazing! People can be so negative and I am so sorry that they did that to you! You are so generous, kind and creative I love your ideas! Thank you for all you do!❤❤❤
Some people just aren’t happy unless they spoil things and make others feel bad, probably because they feel bad themselves so in a small way I feel sorry for them? BUT on the other hand they don’t have to watch your free video if they don’t like it . If you didn’t show us your kits how would we know about them, and what to do with them if we do? You’re one of the most giving people I know on RU-vid with lots of freebies for everyone who watches.You’re also extremely inventive , especially when it comes to finding alternative ways for people to make the things you’ve painstakingly designed without using your kit, so ignore their negativity love. Just keep on being you, the kind , generous thoughtful person we all know, who brightens our days and whom we all love. Xx
You are so kind and very generous with your freebies and sharing your unique artist style. I really can’t get over peoples poor manners in comments. Not just you others too. Thanks again Tracie! ❤️❤️
Of course you are promoting your kits, it’s your channel!!! These are fabulous. You have done a wonderful job creating them with old papers. They look amazing, and so does the ones you created with your kit. No need for you to apologize for administering your channel the way you want! I just love all your freebies and your kits.🤗 I so appreciate how you handle your channel and provide lovely freebies that are often as big as a kit! I think you do a fantastic job and the reason I try to watch every video you post. Hugs ❤️🤗
Your channel. Your kits. What is the problem? Never mind the trolls! Please do NOT ever apoligize if you did not do anything wrong. You are generous with your time & resources with loads of free digitals and as far as I can tell, a kit & no kit video too! How fabulous! I rely on you to make a kit version video when I spend the money on the digital kit (as I love step by step instructions & ideas), but even this is not a must if we do not pay you for the video. Remember who you do this for & why you do this (Simon Sinek has a fabulous book 'Start with Why') and go for it. What other people think of you has nothing to do with you. So keep doing what you are doing & keep attracting like-minded people like you do. We love the work you do & we love the freebies as well as they instructions on how to use YOUR kits on YOUR channel. Promote away! Have a blessed day.
I really liked the way those entomology passports turned out. They were absolutely gorgeous and such an inspiration to me to try and emulate. I do not have a printer to use for getting the digikits, but your example gave me ideas. Thank you for sharing the projects you make. They are inspirational. ❤😊
Tracie, I love how these turned out!! You are a gem! So inspiring! Thank you!! I have several pages of the old photo album pages and now have a purpose!! Have a great day!! ~ Corky 💜💜💜
Please, do not ever feel that you need to feel bad. Ofcouse you need to make a living, as everyone else. You are more generous than anyone, so don’t feel bad for those comments. Hugs!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😄📘❤️🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing your creativity. I buy very few kits, but 90% if my purchases are from your shop because I find them so versatile. I'm borrowing this idea to make 1 or 2 passports for my fairy journal. Plus, of course, one for my Tracie Sampler book. Thank you again.
Some people just love to complain, ignore them. Love both versions. Liking the idea of decanting the stamp sets into cd cases, might be easier to store…. Doing a major reorganisation and this is something I have pondered. Anyway fab project and wow amazing journal 💜
I have put the ones I use most in the CD cases and it is working for me, they can now be kept on my desk. Still keeping the others in the wallets as that works for me to :-D. Thanks sweetheart! I appreciate you xxx
No need to apologise, I don't have a printer atm. I miss having one but I don't begrudge channels like yours who make digitals! Ain't nowt stranger than folk 😊
I wonder if these people who moaned about you using your kits also moan to Tim Holtz or other creators about always using their kits? From a Tracy to a Tracie please just ignore them. You produce such beautiful kits and are really generous with all the beautiful freebies you make for us, if these commenters don’t have the imagination to recreate your makes with their own supplies then there are lots of other creators they can watch. Have a wonderful rest of your week.❤
It's rather sad that people will complain about you promoting YOUR kits on YOUR channel. I've been watching you for years and am so impressed by your talents, your unselfishness with your time, and your ability to turn nothing into something wonderful. Please keep doing what you do and don't apologize for sharing and / or promoting your kits.
What a shame some people have such negatively, worry not, the majority of us are very appreciative of what you do, giving your time, and it is not your fault if they have no imagination to change an idea. Thankyou for your videos, and keep promoting your kits. Xx
I am constantly amazed at the CHEEK of some people!!! Your videos are FREE to watch, you give so many freebies and also provide videos on how to use what we have darlin! You should never feel that you have to explain yourself OR made to feel guilty because you promote one of your digitals. Heaven to Betsy! Now that I’ve had my rant LOL I just love the passports and will be having a go. Looking forward to the floral kit darlin! 😊💚🇦🇺xxx
I think it is absolutely normal that you would make videos that advertise your kits - that is your business, after all. But just want to say that I really, really appreciate that you always also make a video of your ideas for people who don‘t have your kits at hand. Thank you, Tracie, also for your many freebies!
I am on a limited budget to at 81. I don't use very many digitals because of the cost of printing them. You are a kind and generous woman who shares your talents and gifts and freebies with us and you are so appreciated. I was a pastor for 25 years and I know that you just cannot please everyone. You live kindly and do the best you can and the rest of it has to just fall by the wayside. I have not done any passports because I really didn't understand the concept so watching this video has been really great thank you thank you thank you. Love and blessings from New Mexico
Please don’t apologize for using/promoting your own products! You do wonderful work and provide great content, love your channel. Just keep being your beautiful self
One thing I've learned working with people the last 50 years, is we can't please everyone and if someone is looking, they'll find fault no matter what one does. I'll bet the same people aren't upset at any other business promoting their products through commercials. Keep doing what you do - which is try to inspire a wide audience, as we all do on our channels. You deserve to promote your products because you work to create them; just as you deserve praise for providing "how to" videos about creating beautiful items on the cheap, or for free.
I figured the main reason for having a you tube channel was to promote your products-that is the way you make your living. Nobody has to purchase your digitals so you should not feel bad when people complain. I see a lot of digitals you make that I love but I cannot buy everything but I can pick and choose what I wish to buy as any one else can also do. I appreciate all your videos and love watching them. So keep them coming and know we appreciate all you do.
Good morning Tracie. I am really getting tired of the nasty comments and complaints from people watching You Tube. Never feel you have to apologize. Your generosity is amazing on all the freebies you have offered. You have 55K+ subscribers so please do not let a few spoil your day. If they are not happy there are many others doing videos on You Tube so they can move along. Big hugs. ❤
