Unleash Your Creative Beast: Crafting Art on a Budget with Amanda 

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❤

I miss you like it’s embarrassing HOW MUCH ❤😂❤❤❤❤❤

This feels a lot more personal now. I like it.

Holllllllllyyyy crap! I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone with so many different creations and different artistic talent. This is absolutely amazing!

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! ❤

THE COMEBACK IS GREATER THAN THE SET 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!

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.❤😘😀

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.

❤ you're loved and missed!!! Welcome 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! 💜👩🏻‍🎨

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..

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) ❤

So happy to see you back Amanda. Will be watching your new videos ❤

Seeing you is like seeing an old friend. I watched your old channel because YOU are special and fun & wacky. Whatever you do will be fabulous. Follow your ❤ and we'll follow you! Big hugs!!!

I'm LOVING it ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ "I LOVE YOUR BRAIN !" ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you Amanda. Xox ❤

I love all the projects, including house fixing!😊 Please feel free to share. So glad you are back😊

I am excited about all of this! Amanda you are back! Missed you so much!

Amanda, I love the creativity that emanates from you!

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

I’m so happy to see you! I missed you ! This looks like it’s going to be soooo much FUN! Yay!! ❤

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 RU-vid. 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....🌻

Amanda, do u even understand HOW talented u r ?i d buy some of these things!!! It’s pure art!!!

So glad you’re back missed you can’t wait for new projects

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 remember playing your videos while casually doing house chores. You were part of my life. We all need a bit of Amanda

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!

😊😊 Yay ! You are an inspiration. Love your passion for odd hobbies. ❤ Bird disco. 🐦

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! ❤❤❤

Yay you’re back!! 👏🏻 Plants, crafts- whatever- you just make me happy. 😊Sending a big hug from Portugal! 🤗

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. ❤

You’re amazing and I’m glad you’re back . When I’m down I like to watch your channel, it brings me grounding and peace and I’m sure for many others also. Thank you.❤

Sending you hugs and blessings. I am so sorry for your loss. Welcome back🙌🏻

*Amanda showing all these incredible pieces that are insanely creative* "this is easy you can do it!" Me through sniffles "okay!" Just the biggest cheerleader ever! I don't actually think I can but if you say I can then let's goooo! 😅❤

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 happy to see and hear from you Amanda!! 🤎😘

The queen is back!!!! 🙌🏼

These are some wonderful ideas! Thanks so much! I know the new channel is focused on creating things, but please consider starting an online store. I don’t feel that I could do the textile pieces, but I love it and would definitely buy.

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.

Amanda, as a fellow creative I am SO happy that you’re here sharing your joy and creativity with us once again. We frikken missed you girl ❤

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! ❤

Ooh,. Glad you’re back. Please don’t leave us. We need you!

So VERY happy you are back!!! You are in my Prayers sweet lady and Thank You for coming back!!!

I’m at a loss of words. Where have you been hiding all this talent?

I missed you Amanda!!! Can't wait to see this new adventure of yours!! AHHHH im excited

Awesome, Amanda! I'm in LOVE with that first "jungle" art you created-if it was a poster, I'd buy it! All your ideas are wonderful - looking forward to following along...💜👏🏽👏🏽

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, I want to make sure you know how important these videos are! 👏👏 You are giving people permission and inspiration to PLAY and awaken their inner child spirit! Saying that some projects will be a “failure” is a great gentile reminder to not take everything so seriously. I am SO excited for all of the pressed flower projects! Everything you’ve showed here is AMAZING! Thank you for taking us along for the journey. You are the GOAT for sharing your joy with us! 💖💖💖

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

I'm sure you won't see my comment among the 900 others but...I sure have missed you. I am so excited about all of the new projects!!! I just purchased a flower press and so excited about learning how to deconstruct and reconstruct an old chair. Looking forward to seeing you more often again.

You are so amazingly talented. I look forward to learning even more from you! Thank you for sharing

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!
