I really enjoyed this, great little idea! 📘✂️😊

Great idea! Thank you for sharing! I'm so sorry for your loss! Blessings to you!
Thank you for your kind words. Slowly things are improving. (I think.)
Well done ! Huge accomplishment. I also love books. I’m happy to say that over time, I’ve reduced my collection by … it’s gotta be 50%. But I could do more !! I love how you love to learn. I can relate . Happy Heavenly Father’s Day to day to your Dad ! And to mine !
Thank you so very much! Yes...to yours too. 😊

😊 Thanks for the comment.
Looks great!
Thank you. We use our mini craft space almost every day.
Great system!
Thank you! It's working great.
💕
Thanks for watching!
LOVE LOVE LOVE that top shelf box for your "Projects". I have shoulder issues from reaching to high over my head. I'm thinking, a little fabric pull tab secured at the bottom front edge of my boxes on the top shelf might have saved my shoulder! May I ask WHERE did that box tray come from?
I love your idea of the fabric pull tab. I've had that box for years. It was a Christmas box that I found at a small town craft store that has long since closed down. I miss those kinds of places. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your idea.
Sorry you are going through so much all at the same time. It is such a blessing to find strength and comfort and peace beyond understanding in the word of God. I love this new project. They are so beautiful and you get to have purposeful quality time together! Thank you for sharing! Very inspirational! God bless you and your family! 💕💕💕
Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement for our whole family.
#specialneedsspiritualtherapy you’ve begun a movement now follow your heart ❤️ I cannot wait to see what you do
It's true! This has lifted my heart and now I'm figuring out how to move forward.
Super cards! Love the idea (and not just for kids) - Personal, creative, and purposeful. Sorry for your loss and all the difficult days. What a blessing to know that the Lord sustains through every kind of trial. Psalm 55:22
I so appreciate for your very kind words and reminder of the Lord's help and goodness. We are loving the Bible cards and will have more to share soon.
🙏🫶🙏 dear Lord wrap it all around MaryLou’s family 🙏🫶🙏
Heather, thank you so much for your prayers for our whole family.❤️

Thank you!
Thank you!
theyre so cute 🥰
Thank you so much!
This video has really helped me to be inspired and motivated to sort through my sewing room. Thank you!!
I'm so glad it helped. Good luck with your sewing room sort.
Empty drawer is an awesome idea.
Thank you. I always feel calmer with a few empty drawers.😊 Thanks for watching.
A minha acabou de chegar uma cricut maker . So que o carrinho nao se move , fica parado ma mesma posição ,entao nao consigo cortar nada. O que pode ser?
Acho que esta e' um problema com a maquina mesma e voce nesecita chamar Cricut Customer Service. Eu tenho um numero nos Estados Unidos, mas onde e' que voce mora? E' bom falar com alguen que fala Portugues! 😊
@@maryloubailey thanks Very much!! Brasil.
These are wonderful dolls thank you!!!
Glad you like them!
Wow! The "after" picture looks great!
Thank you so much!
Great video! Really appreciate the advice.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
I’m watching a year later and I absolutely adore this video! new subscriber here!!! 😊 sending love!
Thank you so much for your very kind comments and welcome to the channel!
Hi MaryLou. This is my first time to your channel. You are such a delight to watch. Where do you purchase your doll patterns ? I love to save tins and use them throughout my sewing room. Reminds me of my mom who used tins in her sewing room, especially for a large array of buttons. I'll have to check out your other videos.
Welcome and thank you! My mom used tins in her sewing room too. I bought several doll patterns at the fabric store. My daughters and I scoured the "craft" part of the pattern books and picked out several when they were on sale for 99 cents and we've been using them for years. I also like the doll clothes books by JoAnn Hines. She has some great ideas.
Mine freezes on a percentage while cutting and I just bought it brand new today
If you are talking about the size percentage of the image, you set that on the design screen (the one with the grid) before you cut. To change that, return to the design screen and make your changes. If it is cutting a different size than you set, THAT is a problem and you should contact Cricut costumer service right away. In the U.S. their number is (877) 727-4288. They are very helpful, but plan on waiting on hold for a long time. 🙁
God bless you…a national treasure 😊
You are so kind. Thank you so much.
I’m an “out-of-sight-out-of-mind” person, so I would be putting the buttons in small jars (or even one big one). They would add such colorful decoration on a narrow wall shelf. Enjoyed your ideas.
Great idea! Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant ! Thank You 😊
You're very welcome! Thank you for watching.
Hi MaryLou. I really enjoyed this video. I haven’t sewn in years but I noticed I was getting more pleasure from sewing smaller projects too. You do beautiful work. Love your organization drawers. My thought about the buttons: I like how you sort by colour. I was thinking for all the other novelty packages you could sort by colour too. Eliminating the packaging would help with not feeling like there is so much. So have all the yellow round buttons in a pack then the yellow (or dominant colour yellow) oddly shaped buttons in their own pack. Sounds like a fun sorting project for Anne! Take care 💛
Thank you for your kind comments and Ideas. Anne and I are going to tackle those buttons soon and we will follow your suggestion. You are right that packaging does take up so much room and adds to the feeling of too much. I'll film the process so you can see our results.
@@maryloubaileyHave fun! Looking forward to seeing any new future videos!
The light green sweatshirt from the total eclipse event is a very beautiful color that lights up your face. I truly enjoy your videos on decluttering and do find your process inspiring, thank you for sharing, MaryLou 💚🌸👋!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. Thank you for the comments about the sweatshirt too. I'll keep that color in mind.
That stamp, die & card storage method is the Jennifer McGuire method that she came up with many, many years ago, which the majority of the crafting communities on all sites use, so you watch her KZread craft room tour video if you haven’t already. Take care, 🎀 Lily 🎀
I'll do that. Thank you for sharing the original source of the storage idea. I didn't know who came up with it.
Such pretty cards.
Thank you. My Mom loved it.
MaryLou. I just got a cricut and am having trouble with the cutting. Its cutting but its also cutting on to the grip thing lol idont know what to call it . Any tips on how to fix that?? im a newbie so any advice would be great thanks
There is usually a light cut into the mat with almost any material, but it shouldn't be deep and should not make removal from the mat difficult. If it is cutting very deeply it is cutting with too much pressure. You can go into the material screen (when you're in the cut section of Design Space) and lessen the pressure for any material. Click on the material and decrease the pressure in increments of 5. Do a small test cut at each level until it cuts the way you would like. Good luck. Don't give up. There is always a learning curve with any new crafting tool or device, but taking the time to figure it out is worth the trouble.
Some useful tips in your video. Perfect timing to view your video since I finished our taxes Yeah !) and cleaning and sorting our file cabinet this week. Relief! Annes wedding binder is very nice.
Thank you for your kind comments and WELL DONE on those taxes! 😊
What is the red "machine" sitting by your paper storage behind you. Thank you for answering
That is a snap placer. It's fun to use and I love it!
Omg ! Heartbreaking story ! I would love to do something like that for other Woman’s!
It is! When I first heard about it I knew I had to do something. Next week I will post an update and show the finished pieces I'm sending to them. Thanks for watching.
So helpful. I love how you keep supplies that fit a certain space. I need to do this.
Glad it was helpful! Limiting by space has helped me so much. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
You are lovely and have a heart of gold ❤
Thank you so very much. Your kind words were much needed today. Thank you.
Your card is adorable. Using cupcakes was such a surprise. Really nice video. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the cards. My mom loved it!
Well done! That’s quite an accomplishment!
Thank you so much.
I just found your video, thank you for sharing. I purchased NEW product Premium Vinyl Shimmer (Permanent glitter) and I cannot find this under the materials for cutting. I have used Permanent Vinyl, and my joy will not cut it. what am I doing wrong. HELP. I have no problem with other materials. I am a newbie. Thank you.
I have found that glitter vinyl is always hard to cut. You can go into the materials screen and increase the cut pressure for that one material. They say to increase just 5 increments at a time, but there have been times I've had to increase the pressure 50 more than the set amount. A new blade also helps. You can also set it up for a much heavier material, like heavy acetate , and do an experimental cut with that. An email to Cricut service asking about the new material may help. Good luck!
@@maryloubailey Thank you very much. I did speak with customer service, the material that i was inquiring about is not for the cricut joy. Now I guess I will have to buy a cricut machine to use the material with now. LOL. Love your video. thank you again.
That is good to know. Thank you for sharing that information.
Good Morning MaryLou Happy Valentines to you and everyone you Love ❤
Happy Valentine's Day to you too. I enjoyed seeing your daughter in the marching band. I hope your whole family has a lovely day.
@@maryloubailey I got them hooded robes 💌💖💌 no candies I tried to make cards with the joy they’re pretty sad 🥰 🙏🫶🙏
Great job!
Thanks so much for watching.
Ms.MaryLou have you looked into Dana K White's method of decluttering? She doesn't bring everything out and only makes the spaces better. She has a youtube channel here and has written two books. She is so helpful and such a hoot!❤
I have not heard of her, but thanks for sharing. I will check her out. She sounds like someone I'd enjoy.
This was a very fun video to watch! You are so creative❤.
Thank you so much. I'm glad you liked it.
I love this video!❤ What a fun challenge to do to curate a book collection. I have 2 full bookshelves in my bedroom away from the littles, and we have been reading the stories and culling them if we didn't enjoy the book. We need to get back to that. Over the holidays we just stopped. I adore books and we also homeschool, so this one is hard to do❤
Great idea and congratulations on homeschooling. I homeschooled my children for a time and loved it. It's not an easy job, but so rewarding.
Ms.MaryLou what a great update! Over the years we have simplified ours too. I keep one tote with all the decorations and a second tote with the fall/winter/spring greenery garlands and mini wreaths, and faux flowers i trade in certain parts of the house. And it is so freeing.❤ Hugs to you for your times of trial. I've been right there along with you, it's been such a hard last year. Healing, forgiveness, and moving forward is the only thing I can do.❤
Thank you for your kind words. It's so wonderful to have encouragement and support and I truly appreciate it.
Can you send me the link to the colorful brads like you have? I love they have designs or writing on them :) thank you!
I have had those brads for so long that I'm sorry to say I don't even remember where I got them. Sorry.
