It is lovely to share some special moments of your past.

I reckon the kids had a great time with you, bet you were more full of beans than they were!! xx Its a shame these days that the hands on toys get neglected a little and replaced with the MINECRAFT??? Xbox and Ipads. But hey I only had a Cindy Doll and a Book with a Record or would it have been a CD then? that played the Hanzel and Gretel story while you looked at the book, I think I wore it out. Boy that was top technology then!! Maybe that is why I go a bit mad with all the Mixed Media and Altered Art Goodies!!SamsHomeCookedDesigns.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18430859428545806157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-64685815394919370262014-03-05T01:45:50.893+00:002014-03-05T01:45:50.893+00:00You should be bottled and sold as the best tonic o...You should be bottled and sold as the best tonic on earth as that is what you are. <br />As a kid I was fortunate to have the same sort of opportunity you gave your children and learnt so much because the opportunities there for me to explore , I loved making things and reading and still do . <br />We all should be aloud to find our own natural level and it be celebrated , rather than being made in to something because it's felt best or better . <br />I hope you realise what a special person you are and how much your kind caring ,sharing good heart are appreciated . So many people are sell sell sell but you really want to encourage us and help us explore and develop and you should be celebrated and because your loyalty to us you have my loyalty as a customer. It's not the fab products that sell ( and they are fab ) but the confidence you give each of us is what sells .

It looks like your children enjoyed their childhood tremendously, and your ideas make perfect sense. At one time I thought I would never get interested in stamping, but now it is my favourite thing, so I am sure you are right about people's ideas changing and developing constantly and needing new challenges. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and I look forward to your You Tube demos. x Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02889103826921393113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-343213498088592322014-03-04T22:37:11.717+00:002014-03-04T22:37:11.717+00:00i'm a visual person so seeing is best way of l...i'm a visual person so seeing is best way of learning for me. bring it on xxTheresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09228573719518500700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-84836870256428039302014-03-04T21:42:03.713+00:002014-03-04T21:42:03.713+00:00It is great to have a variety of techniques to wat...It is great to have a variety of techniques to watch even though I know they are not something I always want to try out myself. YouTube sounds an excellent idea, I am a visual learner which is why I always record your demos on my ancient but trust video recorder, so I can watch back things I want to try out whenever I want to.

Just follow the instructions in the step by steps and you really can't go wrong ! Everything is laid down methodically and the end result never fails to amaze me, I still stand back and think ... Yes, I did do that ! What a great sense of achievement and inspiration you give us when we see that we can do these techniques. Another great blog, I love all the days but if I had to choose one day in particular it would be Tuesday.

At last someone who realises that everyone learns in different ways, if only the education system realised that also children would do so much better at school. The pick and mix way of leaning is much better and has a wider sense of achievement. <br />As for YouTube you are already there on one of the most viewed video's remember the shrink plastic demo with Dean? I haven't laughed so much in ages, well worth a revisit whenever you are feeling blue!

I'm making the transition from scrapbooking so Sundays journaling products are just great. I've ordered a gellipad so I can experiment with my own background papers - and the odd stamp to have a go there too. I have never been arty but you have me looking at landscapes in new ways. My office window looks over to your old school at fort Pitt and I fund myself thinking about how you would stamp the clouds - I may have caught the stamping bug!

Two of my grandchildren have just visited to collect soft toy clowns I have just made for them. Like a tornado through the house , but great. I too love all sorts of craft , it is wonderful to have so much choice these days. I will appreciate the videos as well, always good to see a demo, I like to get hands on as well. My kids always had every toy in the box out, never a clear chair to sit on. We use to make a tent with blankets and chairs great fun, would keep them happy for hours.
