The boxes are so precious. The tissue adds so much. Jill, you said that you hope you "add value in some way with what you do". Well let me tell you that you definitely do. I put my headphones on and block out the world and listen to you and watch. It is some of my "me" time. I find myself smiling to myself as you talk about the grandkids. Thank you for being you and being so kind to share yourself and your work.
+Judy Howell Thank you so much Judy. You just made my night. I go to bed at night reading comments and the warm fuzzes is what helps me to relax and go to sleep. I am so happy to know that I am able to impact someone's life and put a SMILE on their face and a warm fuzzy or even compassion for whatever story it is that I am telling. I truly believe that God has a purpose for me and giving is not all about $$....there are so many that don't need money they just need a friend and a friend is someone that you connect with even when you have never actually met. You ARE my friend and one day we WILL meet and then we will laugh together :o) BTW I showed everyone in my family your spectacular decorations for Christmas, breath taking, WE ALL loved them.
I really enjoy your channel! The scrapbooking has been fun to watch and has inspired me to get back at it! I have decided it is never too late to go through pictures and scrapbook them! It really makes you remember moments of times past when your kids were little even though they are now grown and have their own kids! I also enjoy hearing about your family and your life and your beliefs and attitudes. I can tell you are a Christian and have good morals. God's blessings to you and your family in this new year!
+Sue In't Veld Thank you so much Sue. I have very strong family convictions as well as moral believes. We don't always do the right thing but as long as we learn from our mistakes and continue moving forth in our faith we will get there. If we were perfect we would not have needed the blood of Jesus. God Bless you for enjoying my channel and sharing my life.
You always dress so nice. I need to start dressing up when I scrapbook and craft. Maybe I'll feel more motivated. Haha! Love your stories and the stuff you make.
Absolutely adorable. Love the tissue paper ruffled edge on the boxes. You have the BEST ideas and are so thoughtful to share them with us!!! Thank you fir your excellent videos. I always look forward to hearing the news in your family and often will have a kuerig favored coffee while listening. No surprise you like that coffee too. Hope you have an awesome week and a super 2016. Hugs, Susan ps love the layouts too -- just a little behind on my comments. I value your friendship!
+susan sharp I so value your friendship too.....I truly look forward to your comments, you are ALWAYS so kind and thoughtful. You have the most blessed New Year my friend.
Happy New Year!! Well if those aren't the cutest party boxes.. this is a great idea!!! I am so thrilled that you had time off.. I'm so enjoying checking EVERY day for videos. I love your stories... it is so refreshing to hear a woman refer to her husband of 45 years as a gem. You two deserve all the blessings you receive . I keep Kendall, you and your family in my prayers. I'm so glad you decided to ignore the negative people out there and will keep on doing videos. I learn a little tidbit here and there (like the tissue paper today!!).... but I watch for the friendship and the stories. God Bless.
+Kathleen Smith Thank you Kathleen, I enjoy it to much to stop. I do it for others and not for me so I need to just remind myself why I do what I do, like I said in a previous video, life is about taking the negatives and dig until you turn it into a positive. That is how you may your life a HAPPY one! God Bless you!
Super Cute!!! I love watching your videos and find myself talking back to you or answering your questions. I was telling you where your tape was!!! How funny!! LOL Have a wonderful and blessed New Year!!!
These boxes are sooo adorable and cute! I Love them for my next party theme! This is my first time watching and you’re very talented. Thanks for sharing 😃
Your too funny Jill ! About the words you spoke ~ VERY WELL SAID !! . I have been blessed to have found you and not just for your creative inspiration but for all that you share with us!.......many hugz my friend...
+Donna Wilson Thank you Donna. I think God has a purpose for me without even leaving my home. I do whatever I can to touch the lives of others and the fact that I have touched yours means you have touched mine as well. I cannot over emphasize the importance of kindness and love for humanity, we are ALL Gods children and should NEVER take that lightly, it is a gift. I will continue drinking WAY TO MUCH coffee with you daily. Loving my new Kuerig but I am bouncing off the walls by evening, I am already hyper active and the coffee is adding fuel to the fire LOL
+Gail Lopez Thank you Gail. My family is my life and we have been blessed above and beyond, even at our darkest moments we have found the blessing arise. THANK YOU again and God Bless.
+Brenda Barajas Happy New Years to you too and I am so happy you are finding my videos useful. I hope you love crafting more and more each day. Making memories with scrapbooking is priceless.
Here I'm in bed drinking coffee its 11:30am watching your video laughing because what you were saying about your husband is just about the same as mine. I also think of you as a friend , you always make me laugh and you teach me/us so much and for that I thank you. your friend Lilian😊
I have a sidebar question for you. I am contemplating getting a cameo. I know you have spoken loads about it vs circuit (which I have a used 4xs ). Which cameo should I get. I just need to make banners and party stuff for kids and school fundraisers.
+Angela Fernandez The Silhouette of America makes a few machines, the one I recommend and you will never need another one is the Cameo. HSN always has a good deal on them.
+Angela Fernandez HSN has the Flexpay so you can typically get one with four to five monthly payments so it makes it easier on the pocketbook for most, especially after the Holidays. Good Luck.
+Carolyn Ault I am so happy to hear that .......are you the Carrie Ault that just ordered die cuts??? I just shipped a bunch out today, is that for you?
+Carolyn Ault I though that was you. Your die cuts are all done and in the mail so if you are going to be scrapbooking you will be set to get started :o)
+cricflix thank u very much jill...yes I am using them for scrapbooking...i am putting them in my two sons birthday scrapbooks....i love the diecuts so much.
My daughter is almost 2 and has my dad wrapped around her little finger. It's so cute seeing them together. He is going to be 77 next week and I thank God every time I see them together for letting him live long enough for him to know her. She is his 21st grandchild. I'm expecting my second baby which will be his 22nd and he still isn't retired. He is my hero. I honestly do not know what I would do without him. I realized today that no one will ever love a woman as much as her dad loves her. I guess that's why he loves her so much, because she came from me.
+organizedirma It is so very very very true. My Dad is the same, he is 88 and I am the apple of his eye. He just randomly stops by to see me and now my husband is like that with the Grand daughters, the grand sons too but there is a very unique bond with a girl just like there is with a Mother and son and Grandmother and Grandson. My husband is extremely attached to his girls, ALL of them, he can't go a few days without seeing them so on his way home from work he will just drop by there house. This is how ALL families should be......God haves us families for a reason so take care and nuture his gift. I Thank God daily. God Bless you.
Jill thank you for your lessons!!! I got a silhouette cameo for Christmas and learning as I go. What kind of refill tape do you use for your tape gun. Thank you
+alicia s I use the Scotch brand and you can get the refills at Michaels, always watch for sales or coupons. Enjoy your new Silhouette, you will LOVE it.
hi jill i love your videos and your adorable projects. love how you share your stories it makes it feel like we are there chi chatting with you. you have inspired me to do these aforable projects for my kids bday friends and family. is there a specific cameo you suggest to use ? I have a cricket machine but i don't think it does all those fun things you get to do? what do u suggest?
+LadyO Valentin Thank you my friend. I would definitely recommend the Cameo Silhouette hands down. You can get it on HSN on flex pay which some folks really like.
i have a cricut i"m not finding it to be very easy. Do you highly recommend i purchase a sihouette. Is it more economical for projects like this? Does the sihouette need a special program like design space. i am new be to these machines. i would like your input. Your projects are so awsome! thanks for sharing God bless
hi.... I love your work and I love art and crafts.... I want to start doing centerpieces like you but I would like to know if you need a lisence for using the images? please answer me and thank you in advanced
+johanna Villagomez Licenses are needed for certain things which I am sure I have crossed the line on some of my projects. I am concentrating this year to stay away from anything that a license is required. I applied with all the major companies but have not heard back yet, they have a limited usage license that allows you so many cuts per year. I am still waiting to hear back but it takes forever. Things on google kind of hung themselves, talked to the Copyright office and there is a fine line of recourse when the images are posted on Google, Bing etc....I did extensive research so when I get messages from folks I refer them to doing research and NOT listen to others who are just assuming, you really need to get the answer directly from the horses mouth. I have heard back only from Sanrio who did refer me to their license dept however given time constraints I just pulled their items until I get time to pursue the license. Royalties are charged on your sales which means less profit.
Can you do a video on rotating the emblem on a pair of shoes that you get off of google? I found some boots that I want to do but the MK emblem is backwards when I mirror the image.
Hi Jill, I sent you a private facebook message if you ever read those. Thanks for sharing. You are appreciated and love more than you know. Happy New Year!
Are we friends on Facebook.?If not can you please send me a friend request. There are two, My picture is a photo of Kendall Holding a sign with a Scripture and her parents in the background.
