Grackles have yellow or golden eyes...I think it’s a raven....I looked it up...crows are the smartest bird, though

Barbara, I got so tickled at you! I was yelling to turn it sideways in my mind. My husband would have thought I was crazy if I had yelled out loud. The Altered Paper Clips are so cute. I will have to try to make some. Fun video!!! 🌺🌺

I was screaming at you to turn the page. The best part about you doing the first three up and down, and forgetting to turn it sideways, is that we get to watch you make another one.

A suggestion: To get the netting off the inner spine, you could try ripping out 10 or 15 pages at a time to loosen the spine. Keep ripping out 10 or 15 pages until the spine is more workable. Of course, it will depend on the age of the book, the type of paper, and it may just be a job for the craft knife!

Thank you so much for showing us your sewing machine process. I could be wrong. But it seems like you’re always going off to sew, then coming back with the finished product. I loved seeing the process. I loved the constant wrong direction. I caught myself following along with you (in my mind only) and when you’d say, “Oh no! I did it again!”, I’d look at it and then I remembered you wanted a side direction. Lol. Such a fun video. Can’t wait to do a snippet roll too.

I was yelling, “stop, turn it sideways”! But your laughter makes it all so much better!! You would have loved what I did yesterday: I had some coffee dyed ribbon on the side of my table, just waiting for a good place. In the meantime I stamped something in red & used a wet wipe to clean my fingers & stamp off. Went off in another tangent & came back to find my ribbon now with splashes of pink from the wet wipe!! It’s kind of cool, I think I’ll send you some! Of course if I try to make that happen, it won’t ever work again! Haha! I thought of you & knew you would be giggling! It got to 96 today & you were talking about snow! Thanks for a nice little technique, I think I could do this! Take care, Barbara!
