Thanks Dorothy! I love that we can make soooo many so quickly and have a bunch of them sitting there ready to use whenever we want. Plus any excuse to use up more books pages; I know we are all drowning in them lol 😄💚
Aww thank you so much for stopping by! I love making ruffles aswell and these little ones are so cute to embellish pockets and tags etc. I made some with brown packaging paper aswell and those ones are super cute! 😄💚
I am saving this video for when I get ready to make my first paper ruffles! I have seen these and I think they are adorable! Thank you for the tutorial!!!
As a quilter, I have always made my full sized ruffles this method. Never thought of making these cute and useful tiny ruffles. Can’t wait to try this! Thanks so much for sharing. Blessings from Betty in Ohio.
Thank you Betty! Quilters always have great tips and tricks. I never actually thought to do full sized ruffles this way; I've only used it for the teeny tiny ones lol. The little paper ruffles make great little embellishments; so cute with a button or bit of fabric behind it on a tag or journal page. The only thing I don't like doing is inking them lol. I end up with really dirty looking fingers all the time and it takes forever!l 😂💚💚
It sure is lol. I just don't have the patience to fold those tiny strips of paper to make tiny ruffles lol. I love this way as you can make sooo many in such a short amount of time. 😄💚
Great idea! I watched and saved this tutorial quite some time ago and now I’m rewatching the saved videos. So glad to be reminded about this little trick that is such a time saver. Thank you
Thank you Nancy! I never did have the patience to fold paper strips one by one so this way is really handy lol. And I think those teeny tiny ruffles look super cute! 😄💚
Thank you Suzy! Me making your day has made my day! lol. I keep seeing people fold one strip at a time; I don't have the patience for that lol. This way you can make lots of tiny little ruffles super quick! Have fun! 😁🩷🩵
Thank you Rebecca! They're very easy to make, and you can make sooo many in such a short amount of time. And I probably make it look much harder than it is lol. They turn out so little and cute 🙂💚
Aww thank you so much Lucy. I'm so happy you are finding some projects on my channel that inspire you. I love recycling and nothing gives me more pleasure than encouraging others to use recycled elements in their junk journals 🙂💚
Thank you Helen! Oh my gosh I made soooooo many of those little ruffles that day; I couldn't stop lol. I've been trying really hard to use up book pages. The little ruffles have been great to pop in as extras when I send out my Etsy orders. I did some with red thread aswell and they look super cute too 😄💚
Thankyou Tammy! I love the tiny ruffles; so cute and quick and easy to make. And always great to be ale to use up a few more of those never ending book pages lol 😄💚
Thanks Gio! I kept seeing people folding one by one so thought I may as well show the quick way I do them. I don't have the patience to do one by one lol 😄💚
I hope it helps you use up some of those never ending book pages lol. And thank you! I love comments on old videos, it kind of reminds me to make some morel lol. 😄💚💚
Well, don’t you think you’re a miss smarty pants! LOL! 😂. Love this! You could also connect them lengthwise for longer ones! The baby ones are darling!
Hahaha I thought everyone knew this trick until the past month or so I have seen so many people folding one by one. Oh I love those little wide short ones. They're so cute on a piece of fabric with a button or two next to it. 😊💚
Finally got some time to watch , saw them on facebook the other night and was very impressed, now i'm definately in love. Well done one of lifes great hacks
Hehe I think it's because we are all drowning in book pages and trying hard to use them up maybe lol. Oh I bet your Kerry'd yours up and made them look all pretty! I can't wait to see how you use them. I am a tad boring with my embellishments because I am a recycle only crafter so tend to use the same junk over and over lol. 😂💚
Thank you so much Kim! Glad you enjoyed it. I'm always happy to find ways to use up those never ending book pages and I think the tiny ruffles look so cute! 😄💚
Hehe great minds think alike Toni! lol. I think they turn out so cute, and it's always great to be able to use up some of those never ending book pages! 😀💚💚
So glad you found it helpful. I really love tiny ruffles. They look so cute for embellishing. And they are a bit addictive lol. Once I start making them, I can't stop 😂💚
Thanks Darcy! My big man hands can't handle folding one by one lol I did some with yellow pages phone book aswell, but forgot to show them on camera. They turned out super cute aswell! 😄💚
Thank you Barbara!! They look really cute on layered embellishments etc. And you can make soooo many super fast. I made some little yellow page phone book ones aswell. They look super cute too! 😄💚
@@BonnyAndClive I made some yesterday using an old cook pages and dictionary pages. Dictionary pages are pretty thin and brittle. Thanks for your reply because now I will make some using yellow pages. I think it’s such a great idea to make a bunch and then cut off what you need as you go. They add “pizazz”.
So happy you made some! The yellow pages are thin aswell, but when I sew them I just use a longer stitch, and some I made a bit wider and did a small zig zag stitch. Phone books will be a thing of the past soon and all us crazy crafters will be trying to hunt them down lol 😄💚
Prfect timing, I just needed this video. I was attempting my first ruffle and watched this, thought hmm looks easy enough. My bad,couldn't do it so I rewatched your video. Lo and behold I was doing it wrong. I was folg the paper up to the foot instead of down towards me. LOL, amazing how much easier when you do it right.
Hehe glad it helped! I only use this method for the teeny tiny ruffles though. The full size ruffles I do them only by one lol. Oh! And I made some super dooper scrap ruffles! I just need to find some time to film them once the rain stops and the pond in my backyard goes down and I can stop bucketing lol 😂💚
Thank you! I love making a whole bunch of these to have ready to use whenever I want. Oh I just watched you 10 signature journal video and subbed! Oh it's so beautiful. Love the large size and wow wow 10 signatures! The most I ever did was 8 from memory, and that was a fatty lol. 😄💚
Thank you Carol! They turn out so cute! I also made some from coffee dyed Yellow Pages phone book pages and those were super cute! I'll have to show them in future video because I think I forgot to show them in this one 😀💚
Well, I haven't noticed a video on how you used the paper strips collage done on the silicone mat yet... just throwin' that out there, lol. Enjoy your day!!!
Oh no! I will need to make some more. I think I sent it in a happy mail lol. I did make a little notebook cover out of the other page with the scraps (not the strips). I even filmed myself painting it, but the cover is lost somewhere in my craft room lol. It will show up one day 😂💚
These are lovely, but they are pleats. Another way to make pleats, is to make a box pleat. To make a box pleat, make one fold in one direction, and the next fold in the opposite direction. Ruffles are made by pulling thread which gathers the paper or fabric. There are different ways to make ruffles, one being to make a zig zag stitch over de tal floss, then pulling the de tal floss up to gather the paper. The dental floss can be fastened at each end. Invisible thread (clear thread) can also be used in place of the dental floss, or thread of any color can be used in place of the dental floss.
Thank you Patricia! Ah ha do I detect a real seamstress!? Lol. Yeh, for some reason the junk journal craft community has always called them ruffles. My grandmother was a seamstress and she made alot of our clothes when we were young, and as a tomboy I always hated when she made us dresses with ruffles lol. She had an old Singer sewing machine with a pedal foot and we were mesmerised by it, but never allowed to touch it lol. Fond memories. I often wonder what she would say if she if she knew i was sewing paper and cardboard and plastic and goodness knows what else. Pretty sure I'd be in big trouble! Lol 😄💚
Hi Bonny! My name’s Erica & I live in Lawrence, Kansas, USA! You just showed up on TH-cam for me & I’m so glad you did, because I love this method for making paper ruffles! It’s genius & I hope I can get the hang of it! I can also see using paper that’s been colored with sprays & paints! I think you said something like the sky’s the limit, haha! I love your Aussie accent, as well! I have “liked” & subscribed & will mention you to my friends! So nice to find you! Erica❤
Hi Hi Erica! Thank you so much for your lovely comments! Hahaha I am glad you understand my terrible Aussie accent! Us Aussies have a terrible habit of using slang and shortening words or running them together, so you may sometimes hears strange words like "thisarvo", which is short for this afternoon lol. Ohhh yes, painty papers would look so nice too! I have lots of gelli prints that I have been hoarding that I could also use. Great idea! ☺💚💙
@@BonnyAndClive I didn’t find you difficult to understand at all!! I have several women in various areas of the UK who I watch on TH-cam & I find all the different dialects/variations fascinating! I will confess that when I started watching during COVID in 2020, I had to have the “English” on the screen!! But now I’m used to all of them & you’re right some of the expressions just crack me up! I guess I probably would sound weird to all of you!! It’s the little things that make the make the world go ‘round!! “See” you soon! ❤️
Hehe it's funny you said that about the subtitles, because I was listening to a Scottish video one day and I had trouble understanding the lady and had to put the subtitles on aswell lol. Her Scottish accent was music to my ears though! 😀💚
Thank you! I made soooooo many of these but sadly didn't make a debt in the book page pile lol. I think they look so cute on just about anything junk journal related 😄💚
Aww thank you Karen. I never thought to show this little trick until I saw a few people folding one by one over the past couple of weeks. Oh I am so glad you have started to use your machine for pockets etc. Soon you will wonder how you ever survived with it! lol 😄💚
Thank you Anna! I really love the tiny ruffles, and they come in handy to embellish journals, tags, pockets etc. And it's always great to be able to use up some of those never ending book pages! 😄💚
Thanks Ashley! I love them in journals too. I think they look so cute layered on top of bits of scraps papers and fabric. And this way, you can whip up a whole bunch in no time at all! 😄💚
For something like crepe paper, since it's already in long strips, I usually just fold it as I sew it. I've seen some people use a "ruffle foot" on their sewing machine aswell, but have only seen it used for fabric, not paper.
Hahaha yeh those strips are never ending! I'm too lazy to sit there folding them one by one though lol. I make kooky paper out of my strips. I'll pop a piece in your package. I think you'll like it being a fellow mustuseeverytinylastscrapofpaper type gal! 😂💚
These are great. If I ever do pleated ones, I will use this method. Thanks. I have another similar idea, but I don't think people quite understand it and apparently I inspire them to make "ruffles" instead. Oh well 😂😂😂 xx
Thank you so much! Oh I would love to see your idea! I'm forever trying to use up book pages and fabric scraps lol. I've airways called these ruffles but a few seamstresses have told me they are actually pleats 😄💚
WHY didn't I think of this??!! Genius. I will actually DO this. Doing a single ruffle is frustrating, and not FUN!! And mine are never straight either. Lol thx for video. Austin,TX USA
Thank you Barbara! Haha yeh I love using up those left over strips of paper but I am too impatient to sit there folding one by one lol. I also made some from yellow pages / phone book pages and those look super cute too, especially if you enjoy really junky junk journals 😄💚
@@BonnyAndClive I just got a phone book sent to our house. I've been asking everyone I know for an old phone book, to no avail. And then it just showed up. Ruffles is great idea.
Haha isn't it funny the things we all used to take for granted lol. Phone books will be a thing of the past soon and then all of us crazy crafters will be trying to hunt them down lol 😄💚🌼
Our post office has them for free. They are so thin now. I remember the good old days when they used to be so big and heavy we'd used them as a doorstop lol
Thank you Katherine! Oh it's such a time saver. Every now and then I just whip up a whole little pile of them. I made some from yellow pages phone book aswell, but forgot to show them. They turned out super cute too 😄💚
Thank you Amy! Yes, so much faster than folding one by one. I don't have the patience plus my big man hands can't fold those tiny ruffles one by one lol. So easy to whip up a big batch of these in no time! 😄💚
The tiny ones are sooo cute! I have never made them, I am too lazy to get the sewing machine out... Your mass making technique is great, thank you for the awesome advice!
Thank you! I love the tiny ruffles and they are so handy to use when embellishing journals and pockets etc. I can't craft without my sewing machine so it permanently sits on my craft room desk lol. 😂💚
Thanks Kat! I love the teeny tiny paper ruffles. That brush was given to me by a friend. I think it might be a makeup brush Comes in handy to ink tiny things! 😄💚
Aww thanks Janice! So happy you will give it a try! You can whip up a whole bunch in no time at all. I did some with Yellow Pages phone book pages aswell, but forgot to show them on camera. They turned out super cute too! lol 😄💚
This way is so cool!!! Now I must try it too 😉😉 what a time saver! I tend not to make paper ruffles because I'm not a fan of folding the little individual straps, but this way is genius!!
Thanks Alia! I could never sit and fold those little strips either. I don't have the patience lol. But every no and then I don't mind making a whole bunch of these the quick way lol 😄💚
Thank you Diane! Yes, you can make soooo many in a really short amount of time. I kept seeing people folding a thin strip one by one so thought I may as well film how I make mine. I think they turn out so cute! I also did some made out of yellow phone book pages aswell. Forgot to show them. They are super cute aswell lol. 😄💚
Who would have ever thought we’d be sewing paper 🤣🤣🤣 I have a speshial little machine now , that was being thrown away. It’s set up all the time for paper 🤣🤣tfs
Hehe just imagine what real seamstresses think when they stumble across out videos and we're sewing papers! lol. I am a recycle only crafter so you should see some of the rubbish I have sew on my machine...aluminium cans, book board, food packaging, chocolate wrappers, plastic bags....you name it lol 😂😂💚
Thank you Julie! Oh my gosh Clivey has been so naughty! He keeps stealing Dorys bed. She is old and just likes to sleep all day, but that fat cat Clivey has been bullying her out of her bed! Then at night he comes in to my bed and hogs half the bed lol. 😂💚
Julie, I remembered this comment from a year ago and had to let you know......last night I got up to go to the bathroom and when I came back, Clivey had sprawled horizontally across my bed, arms and legs outstretched like Superman. I couldn't even get back in to bed. Cats are not only bed hogs, but they are also bed theives lol. 😂💚
@@BonnyAndClive lol, I stand corrected! Sometimes when I wake up, I have a cat at my feet, one at my stomach and another in the bend of my legs. I try to get back in bed in the same position so as not to bother them, but it never works and I end up going to the living room and watching tv. They are thieves, lol! Irresistible, thieves.
I do often make stuff and ink it or embellish as I use it, but sometimes when videoing I try to show the full process so viewers can see how they look completely finished 🙂
@@BonnyAndClive thk u! i’m good, just busy. i have a video ready just hvnt sat down to post it. i also am planning my 500 subbies give away. thx for checking on me🧡
Hi Bonny, I'm replying to your comment on my last piano vid but both tries have failed. Don't know what's going on but just wanted you to know I appreciate all your support. (Sometimes youtube does mad things.)
Hi hi Hillie! Oh yes, Mr TH-cam loves to bug me with issues commenting aswell lol. Have always loved your piano videos. You're such a talented cookie! 😊💚💚
@@BonnyAndClive oh I just found it. I’m so so sorry. I feel terrible now asking. I should have looked first (although first time I’ve seen that community tab) my condolences to you and all your family. Take all the time you need as I’m sure it will be so hard to come back on being all cherry and happy xx
Aww dont feel bad Julie. I think it's so lovely that so many of you checked up on me. I feel really blessed to have such wonderful and caring crafty friends out there that have taken the time to check on me, especially when so many of you have such busy lives yourselves! I'm still crafting here and there and just starting to re-open my Etsy and hopefully can get a video up this weekend. I really miss what everyone has been up to! Hope you are safe and well and finding lots of crafty time. I miss my sister dearly but she was my biggest recycling crafty supporter (and enabler haha) and I know that she would be wanting me to get right back to it ! 😊💚💚
@@sandracapps5543 oh my gosh Sandra you gave me such a giggle lol. I know what you mean now! Hehe I didn't know how to mute the sound when fast forwarding back then. You'll be happy to know I finally figured it out lol. Now if this video scared you, please don't watch the raggy rope flower video because that one will be sure to give you a heart attack. I even scared myself in that video! hahahahah 🤣💚🩵

Hehe it's funny you said that about the subtitles, because I was listening to a Scottish video one day and I had trouble understanding the lady and had to put the subtitles on aswell lol. Her Scottish accent was music to my ears though! 😀💚
I remember back in grade school i had a notebook that had a little strip like those that i would fold like an accordion when i was bored.
See Jamesy, you were a junk journaller in the making from way back then. It's only a matter of time.... 😜💚
Oh that is clever!
Thank you! I made soooooo many of these but sadly didn't make a debt in the book page pile lol. I think they look so cute on just about anything junk journal related 😄💚
thank u so much you have the best tips, have only just started using my machine to make my pockets etc so will try this
Aww thank you Karen. I never thought to show this little trick until I saw a few people folding one by one over the past couple of weeks. Oh I am so glad you have started to use your machine for pockets etc. Soon you will wonder how you ever survived with it! lol 😄💚
This is so cute!! I will try it💖🦋
Thank you Anna! I really love the tiny ruffles, and they come in handy to embellish journals, tags, pockets etc. And it's always great to be able to use up some of those never ending book pages! 😄💚
@@BonnyAndClive absolutely! I make large paper ruffles but I will try this small ones . Super cute !
Glad you will make some too Maggy! ☺💚
These are fantastic to do with the crepe paper too! Love this. It adds great characteristics to a jj
Thanks Ashley! I love them in journals too. I think they look so cute layered on top of bits of scraps papers and fabric. And this way, you can whip up a whole bunch in no time at all! 😄💚
Do you do the same method?
For something like crepe paper, since it's already in long strips, I usually just fold it as I sew it. I've seen some people use a "ruffle foot" on their sewing machine aswell, but have only seen it used for fabric, not paper.
This is a trip, why have I never thought of this? Probably because I'm never short of strips...🙄
Hahaha yeh those strips are never ending! I'm too lazy to sit there folding them one by one though lol. I make kooky paper out of my strips. I'll pop a piece in your package. I think you'll like it being a fellow mustuseeverytinylastscrapofpaper type gal! 😂💚
These are great. If I ever do pleated ones, I will use this method. Thanks. I have another similar idea, but I don't think people quite understand it and apparently I inspire them to make "ruffles" instead. Oh well 😂😂😂 xx
Thank you so much! Oh I would love to see your idea! I'm forever trying to use up book pages and fabric scraps lol. I've airways called these ruffles but a few seamstresses have told me they are actually pleats 😄💚
What a great time-saving idea! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Ros! Oh it saves so much time and you can whip up a whole bunch of them so fast. I never had the patience to fold one by one lol 😄💚
WHY didn't I think of this??!!
Genius. I will actually DO this. Doing a single ruffle is frustrating, and not FUN!! And mine are never straight either. Lol thx for video.

Thank you Barbara! Haha yeh I love using up those left over strips of paper but I am too impatient to sit there folding one by one lol. I also made some from yellow pages / phone book pages and those look super cute too, especially if you enjoy really junky junk journals 😄💚
@@BonnyAndClive I just got a phone book sent to our house. I've been asking everyone I know for an old phone book, to no avail. And then it just showed up. Ruffles is great idea.
Haha isn't it funny the things we all used to take for granted lol. Phone books will be a thing of the past soon and then all of us crazy crafters will be trying to hunt them down lol 😄💚🌼
@@BonnyAndClive Hahaha! So true. I've been hunting for a phone book for a year. I finally got one recently. I will cherish it!
Our post office has them for free. They are so thin now. I remember the good old days when they used to be so big and heavy we'd used them as a doorstop lol
This is a great way to get lots of cute ruffles done 👍 thanks Bonny 😊🌻
Thanks Kristina! You can whip up so many in such a short amount of time. I love having a whole little container full of them ready to use 😊💚
Great tutorial and time saver! Thank you so much for sharing! Be blessed.
Thank you Katherine! Oh it's such a time saver. Every now and then I just whip up a whole little pile of them. I made some from yellow pages phone book aswell, but forgot to show them. They turned out super cute too 😄💚
Thank you for sharing your process!!! This save lots of time!! I think some with two rows of zigzag stitches on a ruffle will look good too
Thanks Dale! Oh it saves so much time, plus I just don't have the patience to fold one little strip at a time lol. 😄💚
Great tip! New Subscriber. Tfs.
Aww thank you so much Gwyn! Welcome aboard! I'm Bonny, and Clive is my fat kitty cat and crafting buddy. 😊💚
Fantastic, I've never seen them done this way, much simpler! Thank you. :-)
Thank you Amy! Yes, so much faster than folding one by one. I don't have the patience plus my big man hands can't fold those tiny ruffles one by one lol. So easy to whip up a big batch of these in no time! 😄💚
The tiny ones are sooo cute! I have never made them, I am too lazy to get the sewing machine out... Your mass making technique is great, thank you for the awesome advice!
Thank you! I love the tiny ruffles and they are so handy to use when embellishing journals and pockets etc. I can't craft without my sewing machine so it permanently sits on my craft room desk lol. 😂💚
Love it! Thanks for showing this. And your brushes - where did you pick that up? Is it a makeup brush or a special craft blending brush?
Thanks Kat! I love the teeny tiny paper ruffles. That brush was given to me by a friend. I think it might be a makeup brush Comes in handy to ink tiny things! 😄💚
Neat! I haven't got it on my list yet, but when I do, a mass make at once makes much more sense to me. Thanks Bonny!
Aww thanks Janice! So happy you will give it a try! You can whip up a whole bunch in no time at all. I did some with Yellow Pages phone book pages aswell, but forgot to show them on camera. They turned out super cute too! lol 😄💚
This way is so cool!!! Now I must try it too 😉😉 what a time saver! I tend not to make paper ruffles because I'm not a fan of folding the little individual straps, but this way is genius!!
Thanks Alia! I could never sit and fold those little strips either. I don't have the patience lol. But every no and then I don't mind making a whole bunch of these the quick way lol 😄💚
What a neat, quick way to do these!!!!! love it--I'll be doing mine like you do from now on! TYVMFS
Thank you Diane! Yes, you can make soooo many in a really short amount of time. I kept seeing people folding a thin strip one by one so thought I may as well film how I make mine. I think they turn out so cute! I also did some made out of yellow phone book pages aswell. Forgot to show them. They are super cute aswell lol. 😄💚
@@BonnyAndClive YEA!!!! one of those people was me folding a thin strip one by one !!! no more--thanks to you!!!! TYA
Hehe you must be very patient and have nimble fingers! My big man hands can't handle makings those little folds lol 😂😂
Who would have ever thought we’d be sewing paper 🤣🤣🤣 I have a speshial little machine now , that was being thrown away. It’s set up all the time for paper 🤣🤣tfs
Hehe just imagine what real seamstresses think when they stumble across out videos and we're sewing papers! lol. I am a recycle only crafter so you should see some of the rubbish I have sew on my machine...aluminium cans, book board, food packaging, chocolate wrappers, plastic bags....you name it lol 😂😂💚
Hi Bonny, that’s such an efficient way to make paper ruffles and such a cute use for book pages. Thank you for sharing. Give Clivey a hug. Julie 🥰
Thank you Julie! Oh my gosh Clivey has been so naughty! He keeps stealing Dorys bed. She is old and just likes to sleep all day, but that fat cat Clivey has been bullying her out of her bed! Then at night he comes in to my bed and hogs half the bed lol. 😂💚
@@BonnyAndClive lol, cats are notorious bed hogs!
Yes, plus add to the fact he is the size of a baby lion cub means hubby and I are both squished on one side of the bed lol 😂💚
Julie, I remembered this comment from a year ago and had to let you know......last night I got up to go to the bathroom and when I came back, Clivey had sprawled horizontally across my bed, arms and legs outstretched like Superman. I couldn't even get back in to bed. Cats are not only bed hogs, but they are also bed theives lol. 😂💚
@@BonnyAndClive lol, I stand corrected! Sometimes when I wake up, I have a cat at my feet, one at my stomach and another in the bend of my legs. I try to get back in bed in the same position so as not to bother them, but it never works and I end up going to the living room and watching tv. They are thieves, lol! Irresistible, thieves.
Why couldn't you ink the pages like you did the top and bottoms and then just ink the sides when you add to projects?
I do often make stuff and ink it or embellish as I use it, but sometimes when videoing I try to show the full process so viewers can see how they look completely finished 🙂
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you! Hadn't seen a notification from your channel in a while and popped over just now. Hope all is ok and we see you back on YT soon 😊💚💚

Hi Bonny, I'm replying to your comment on my last piano vid but both tries have failed. Don't know what's going on but just wanted you to know I appreciate all your support. (Sometimes youtube does mad things.)
Hi hi Hillie! Oh yes, Mr TH-cam loves to bug me with issues commenting aswell lol. Have always loved your piano videos. You're such a talented cookie! 😊💚💚
@@BonnyAndClive Thanks xxxxx
💚
Haven’t seen a video from you for a little while. Hope all is ok.
Aww thank you for checking in Julie. I posted a little explanation on the Community tab of my TH-cam channel. I hope to be back soon. 😊💚💚
@@BonnyAndClive oh I must of missed that. Thanks for replying.
@@BonnyAndClive oh I just found it. I’m so so sorry. I feel terrible now asking. I should have looked first (although first time I’ve seen that community tab) my condolences to you and all your family. Take all the time you need as I’m sure it will be so hard to come back on being all cherry and happy xx
Aww dont feel bad Julie. I think it's so lovely that so many of you checked up on me. I feel really blessed to have such wonderful and caring crafty friends out there that have taken the time to check on me, especially when so many of you have such busy lives yourselves! I'm still crafting here and there and just starting to re-open my Etsy and hopefully can get a video up this weekend. I really miss what everyone has been up to! Hope you are safe and well and finding lots of crafty time. I miss my sister dearly but she was my biggest recycling crafty supporter (and enabler haha) and I know that she would be wanting me to get right back to it ! 😊💚💚
Are you ok? I’m missing you. 💙
Hey hey Sarah thanks so much for checking in. Taking a little time off after a death in the family. Hope to be back online soon 💚💚

😳You SCARED me! 😂
BOO! lol. Hehe not sure how I scared you, but I hope it didn't scare you too much! 😄💚
@@BonnyAndClive The noise it made when you sped the video up. I wasn’t expecting that sound and literally jumped.🤣
@@sandracapps5543 oh my gosh Sandra you gave me such a giggle lol. I know what you mean now! Hehe I didn't know how to mute the sound when fast forwarding back then. You'll be happy to know I finally figured it out lol. Now if this video scared you, please don't watch the raggy rope flower video because that one will be sure to give you a heart attack. I even scared myself in that video! hahahahah 🤣💚🩵
Some erotic missives thrown in!!
Not sure what you mean. Tell me tell me!
