I'm 66 and I grew up all around antiques as my parents had a store. My mother was always stripping furniture and hauling things home to redo. I guess I've forgotten a lot over the years but my love for this remains. That's one reason why I love watching you so much. It warms my heart and brings back memories. The basket is lovely and I want to try doing one. I've taken quite a few home from my senior center. Thank you for sharing.

The framed picture turned out stunning! Your ability amazes me, and your creativity. As I’ve gotten older I don’t trust my judgement on. decorating and creating like I used to. Once I finally do complete something it turns out well but I spend so much time thinking about it things don’t get accomplished as soon as I’d like. Thank you for sharing your talents with us all.

It jams when I try to run through tissue paper adhered to copy paper. As always, you do a bang up job recreating old to new. You have a wealth of knowledge.

Thanks also for sharing how to undo our boo boos. I have a decoupage project that I was never happy with, now I know how to redo it. P.S. I wish we had better thrift stores where I live. Even our Goodwill has gotten expensive.

    You never fail to amaze me Sherry, the books and tin were wonderful I really can't fault any of them. The blue print was much better for the tile. Thank you and take care.❤❤
