I never know exactly how a video will land with viewers.  I made one that we just put up a few days ago of a duct tape zipper coin purse.  It was so easy to make once the duct tape and I made friends.  It went really long (I thought) and I made a lot of mistakes along the way.  I was really worried that I would get a lot of thumbs down and that people would be disgusted that it took me almost 30 minutes to finish the project.  Instead I got nice comments but one in particular really inspired me.  Here it is.

“I love your videos.  If someone wants shiny and perfect they can look elsewhere.  You show the reality of crafting with all the challenges and resourcefulness to overcome them.  And your personality means we get to enjoy the process even more when things go wrong.”

I don’t know if I have ever gotten a comment from this particular viewer before and was blown away at how she got right to my insecurities about this process.  I am so grateful for the subscribers I have and am committed to making so many new and different videos because of it.  Of course my first love is paper crafting, but I’m really looking forward to getting back to my workspace to create new and different things with everyone.

I never thought my channel would appeal to everyone, but I’m so proud that it has appealed to the ones who continue to watch.  I’m so grateful for every person who takes the time to watch even one.  And will continue to make the mistakes I’m prone to making along the way.
