I’ve gotten some responses to my question about wet glue and the fine tip applicator that a lot of crafters use. So far there are some people who are agreeing with me that maybe you don’t even need to use a fine tip applicator. In fact, my friend Linda went even further with the idea. She said if she needs a tiny die cut attached to a card, she sprays it with an adhesive. Genius! That’s why she’s my crafting guru! She’s got so many great tips and tricks and she’s always happy to share with me. I couldn’t do this without her help.
While I’m talking about people who help me, I have three different ladies (you know who you are), who have been helping get the word out about my channel. One of them has been distributing my cards anywhere she deems appropriate. Another contacted Kelly Donovan and asked her to mention my channel. Kelly has a YouTube channel called Kelly’s Knitting and Things. Kelly has 17,000+ subscribers and made a video specifically to talk about other You Tube channels she recommends and she had my channel on it. It wouldn’t have been there without my friend’s help. I know I got at least one subscriber from it, because the lady told me how she found my channel. And lastly, a third lady found a channel called Crafty Lori. Crafty Lori has a Make a Wish day and my friend made a wish for people to subscribe to my channel. I know it worked because a person subscribed and told me how she found my channel. (The reason I did not list these ladies’ names is because I didn’t ask them if I could, and I want to respect peoples’ privacy.)
There’s one more lady I need to mention. I got an email a while ago from one of the owners of Rubber Stamp Tapestry. She wondered if I would try her peg stamps to see how they work. Her name is Rebecca and she’s given me so much great advice on how to grow my channel and how to market it, as well as generously sending me stamps to try. Her help didn’t stop there. There was an event for director’s of Alzheimer’s’ units and someone from the organization contacted Rebecca about her stamps. Somehow my channel came into the conversation, and Rebecca made a flier to give to all of the participants at this conference about my YouTube channel. She had tried to email me to get me involved, but I wasn’t on my email that day so she handled it herself. I know I’m forgetting something else she’s helped me with, but the bottom line is this. I’ve met so many really wonderful women who have made this YouTube channel their cause, and I could not be more grateful for the help and support they give me.
