Can I just saaaaay...I like watching you, as yourself most. The vlogging while cleaning the closet was Hilarious. If you want to write a book, take us along the ride. If you want to cook dinner for a party or decorate for the holidays or play a villain in a musical BRING US ALONG. You are one of those people who is fun and silly and not afraid to take chances. Do sketches, redo furniture, do voiceovers of your pets. You will be awesome at it. I truly appreciate your love for creativity. Keep it up. (OH and we all watch others do commercials and understand why they do it. So no one will mind if you do it too. In fact, I wondered why you didn't do it more.)
I enjoy furniture flips but…it is your story telling and your personality that have kept me coming back. 😊 Unleash your creativity and share it with us!
Andy, you have been dearly missed, but i am so happy that you've been enjoying a creative world outside of YT! You deserve every bit of happiness. You are talebted in far more than furniture flipping. Come on, I mean that amazing soprano of yours, and your stage acting, also fab! Thanks so much for sharing all this with us. As for your skits... I adore them, one and all! We are close in age, and I say, do what brings you fulfillment and joy! Be safe! Now got break a leg (not literally)! ❤❤❤
Don’t give up on your creative ideas!!! Do the sponsorships… do the vloging… do the storytelling… throw in furniture. you are so good at it and your design sense is quite different, quirky at times and amazingly beautiful! The long form story did not call me but… keep doing what makes your heart sing cause that will make all you do amazingly wonderful and uniquely you! Which is why we all come back…. For you !!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤ love ya Girl!
When I first found your channel (for the furniture) I thought “what is this?”. It was the episode when you had the audition for Mary Poppin. A bit confused I watched some more episodes, and I was hooked! I love it!❤
I really enjoy your fables and how creative you are. The furniture flips are great to watch, but there are so many TH-cam channels on furniture flipping. I believe your channel should be your creative abilities being showcased. That is what makes it successful. Do what you want to do and your fans will enjoy following where ever you go. Doing sponsorships is not a turn off as long as you believe in the product.
You could add DYI projects flowers, baskets, home decor. Humor all over. I'm 60 and really could use much more humor... Please keep doing you it's FABOULOUS!!! GOD BLESS
You are so gifted in all you do and such a joy to watch. Whatever you decide to go with, I'll be entertained. There aren't any TH-cam channels that I watch, except yours, that make me laugh out loud. ❤
Agree! Whatever floats your paint-brushes, since it will be done with joy and honesty it would be gold-leaf to us. I came for the furniture but have stayed for you! Very few remain interested in one type of content. We all evolve(hopefully). Its natural that the same goes for the content creators. Create away my dear ❤
Whatever motivates you to be creative plum tickles me. Love your furniture flips with soap opera overtones. Decorate Renovate Dance to the music. Express yourself, I am along for the ride. As long as there is a ride.
So glad you are back Andy, we’ve waited so patiently. 🤓 The glimpse of the theater was fabulously fun and your performance was amazing!! Honestly I would watch just about anything you create. I’m 61 and currently struggling with no longer being able to do Upholstery as a career. It’s disheartening to realize you can no longer do the things you used to do and a real brain adjustment trying to create life 2.0. That being said… I love the idea for helping women at this stage of life. So here is my humble suggestion for your channel. 50% new inspired content 25% furniture refreshes or similar creative endeavors. 25% vlog ------ 100% awesomeness! I think the summer and Christmas specials are just perfect. Always leave them wanting more. ( still haven’t watch the summer skit, I’m savoring it!) I wouldn’t be offended by sponsorship. You have to earn money and I know you’d make that too enjoyable. God bless you in whatever you choose to do my dear, we are here for you!❤️👏🏻
I actually sit through the furniture stuff…. Just so I can watch the characters. 😊 There are tons of furniture videos…. Only one Paint by the Sea….and Drea of course.
So good to have you back, Andy! There are not many folks who can speak to an "assumed" audience in such a casual, conversational manner. I always feel as if we are alone in our jammies sharing a cup of coffee. I, too, came for the furniture flipping, but also found a beautiful, honest, multi-talented women who is able to laugh with, and at herself. I love the characters that introduce each Furniture Fable. I will say a couple of the skits got a little long, but they were always written and performed in such a fun style. Congratulations, on your stage success! Great voice and actress. Going forward ... there's nothing wrong with sponsorships. If you really like and use the products and/or services, there's no reason not to let us all in on it. My heart is with furniture flipping, but watching you clean out a closet was fun, too. Love the idea of helping other women find their creative outlet(s). Most of us are constipated by fear of failing. Maybe you could try pottery, or sculpture, or _______ showcasing other talented women succeeding in their chosen field. Just a thought. Whatever you decide, I'm sure it will be presented with grace, style, panache, and your tongue planted firmly in your cheek. Prayers and best wishes for your continued success!❤🙏
Wow, thank you so much - truly appreciate hearing that - I honestly feel the one-on-one jammies/coffee conversation vibe too! 😍 Love all your insight, ideas (sculpture - yes!!!) and support!
First, you are an inspiration to all of your viewers, be it in furniture work or personal enrichment in our lives. Secondly, you are NOT too old yet, :) for furniture flipping. I am ten years older than you and I absolutely love the creative process of repurposing old pieces into something completely different. I once turned wooden bar stools into a spa cabinet and a wine cabinet, and two cheap, ugly night stands into a beautiful padded, garden bench for a porch or entryway. But I understand the imminent physical limitations. I LOVE the idea of you writing a book, I also am a writer and about to get my first novel self-published. ( I would have finished it years ago if work did not have such a way of interfering with life! ). It's a cozy mystery which is infused with my life experiences from training dogs, photography, coffee roasting, herbal remedies, motorcycling, classic cars, investigative and martial arts training and much more. You have so many experiences to incorporate into a good book as well. Though I am more into mysteries than romances, I would most definitely buy your book. Mostly because I love your channel and feel that connection to you in the love of craftsmanship of any means. I love the combination of the Painterly crew and furniture flips, maybe you can work on less difficult flips and mix it up with easily crafted decor ideas. (I loved that dining room lighting you did). I can also see you doing a video reading of a children's book that you write. That would be fun for us adults to watch as well. You have a ton of good ideas, Go with as many as you can. I wear many, many hats. And the one very good benefit of that is its ability to ward off boredom and stale moments. :) All the best to you in your new ventures. I look forward to more of your creative videos.
Most of the bloggers have sponsors and you can’t continue for low wages, when you have so much talent and currently in demand. I love the sharing of your theatre experience.
Please do whatever! We love you, I've missed you, so happy for you to be acting, singing, all the things... I'd watch you do whatever you want.. please don't go away, you're an absolute joy!
Two (2) things...the 1st is when Biff said his steamy plant propagation part and then ended it with MULCH, I could not stop laughing, I'm still laughing. 🤣 2nd is, if your furniture flipping, making paint by the sea episodes, sharing stage performance videos, or just washing the dinner dishes, I am here for it!!! ❤💯
Hooray!! Many thanks!!! If I can make washing the dishes interesting, I will be quite proud. 😂 And yes - that "mulch" line had me giggling for quite awhile too...also, Biff says "hey". 👋😍
Congratulations on your theatrical accomplishments! It was obvious from your body language and facial expressions that you throughly enjoyed the experience. I listened to this video twice. The first time, you grabbed my attention when you said a particular phrase. I listened the second time to be sure I had heard correctly. You said "my heart is called...." A calling is profoundly significant. Following the calling of one's heart is important to one's psychological and physical well-being. Follow your calling. You will reach the right destination.
Andy, my mind is reeling! First, bravo and standing O for your portrayal of Miss Andrew. Your theatre company has a treasure in you. I’d love to be under your musical direction. Secondly, I’ll watch anything you produce on TH-cam with ads or not (I came for the furniture flipping, I stayed for your comedy, production quality, script writing, character portrayals, etc…..). Third, books would be awesome, but I must admit that if the characters are the same, I would be picturing you in my mind, sooooo…. not sure how that would work! Finally, you have a fan forever. No matter what you choose to do with your channel, I will be here for it. Whether I watch in the morning with a coffee, or in the evening with a glass of wine, I click as soon as I see a notification from you. Thanks for sharing your incredible creativity with us! We love you.💛💛💛
WOWZA, thank you SO MUCH! Your support means everything. And yes....LOL....I get that issue you are referring to with the PBTS romance idea.... 😅 Maybe new characters are needed....😂
I don't mind sponsorships! You are so creative in your skits, your unique flips, and you have the ability to make us laugh. Ultimately, do what brings you joy!
I have enjoyed the side angles. Like the Carin,the closest redo. Maybe if you have a friend that needs help doing something in their home. Don’t stop making Furniture Fables.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Andy, I came here for your beautiful furniture fables, not knowing that I would also find a fellow creative, artistic, musical soul. I love your furniture flips, but I've also been thoroughly entertained and delighted with every other type of video you've made on this channel. Whether it's been skits with Painterly and the gang, building a catio, decorating for Thanksgiving or other vlogs about your life, I've really enjoyed spending time in your world. I'm in your age group and you inspire me to not be afraid of being more creative and trying new things, or getting back to old things I used to love, like singing. You have a wonderful energy and infectious enthusiasm and wit, but you also keep it real and aren't afraid to show us your vulnerabilities. So continue to produce whatever content brings you joy, because I'm here for all of it! ❤
Dear Andy, Soar as high as you want and as far as you want! Just by expressing all your fun ideas teaches us by example to be creative! Sponsorship is fine! Do what you need to do. I thoroughly enjoyed the Paint-by the -Sea Summer Special and would love whatever you come up with next...because they just keep getting better and BETTER. Maybe don't do a furniture flip unless you are really excited about it? All on one channel until creativity "cell meiosis" actually forces you to start another channel? Go for your dreams, kiddo! "Yes!" to all your new ideas! I'm here for it. It has been so fun seeing you go for your theatrical dreams. Just go for it. Hugs and appreciation from a huge fan.
You make things so fun I think you could do it all. And a sponsorship? Go for it!! I am a newer viewer and I love your furniture flips!! Your humor is the icing on the cake!!!
Whatever you do--i'll be there! I love all your characters and have missed "all of you." It is so apparent that you LOVE doing theater, but you love your channel too. Go where your heart takes you, and take us along when you can.
I am so very happy you are back. Enjoyed seeing the making of your characters. What a wonderful voice too. Of course your furniture designs are unique, very creative. As an artist I understand the toll the work takes on us, especially when arthritis hits us. Your characters are a joy to watch. If you decide to write, this is selfish of me of what I like; when I read or when working like to listen to audio books. I drift towards mysteries, something to hunt for, or a puzzle to decipher, but isn't bloody. Love interest is good to have in the story. If sponsorships will help and not hinder your work then do them. Actually what ever you decide I know it will be successful.
Oh, I LOVE that idea!! I started writing a mystery for the Paint By The Sea gang...could be a lot of fun. Thanks so much for your support and feedback!
Have always loved Furniture Fables. I can also understand that it can take a toll on arthritic parts! Looking forward to seeing you back in whatever format you choose. You were fabulous in "Mary Poppins".
I like “You never know.” Let the creativity flow in all directions and share that with us. As things evolve, consider changing the name of your channel to represent the potpourri of fun you offer us.
I totally understand. I am 56 and had to give up doing furniture full time. I have had back surgery and needed to learn to say no. Do what makes YOU happy. We will all be here because we live you. I make soap now, much lighter
As a 54 year old amateur furniture flipper I completely understand the physical strain of it. Your creativity is a joy to watch. I say " give it a go" to whatever brings you joy. It won't hurt to try. It's how you find out if it's something you want to do. I'm here for the next... whatever that may be. Bravo on the acting and singing. Absolutely fantabulous!
Darling ... you are fabulous! I come for the entertainment, the laughter, and the passion for your creativity. You do you, and I'll be right here watching!! 🤩
I've really missed you on yt. Your channel is unique. The skits, the furniture makovers, the laughs, just totally unique. Whatever you come up with in the future, I'm sure that it will be amazing.
I came for the furniture, but especially enjoy the episodes because of the acting gives an extra bit of lighthearted fun. If you decided to go to straight acting and left out the furniture or decided to write a book, I’d give them a try. Although I do think you’d need to do a deeper plot that arcs over episodes to keep me coming back. Sponsorship? Go for it. Helping women find their creativity sounds wonderful! I’ll happily come along for the ride while you explore options.
I always have looked forward to your videos, incorporating your acting into a furniture flip. I think it's brilliant! I have really missed you. I wish you would do more. The cast of characters is hilarious and so fun to watch. I don't think there is anything else like it on TH-cam? to my knowledge, anyhow. Plus, you do a really awesome job with your furniture art. Whatever you do, you can mix it up, do what you want! You can do it! Do it. I love you - and all of your personalities 😅. I am 60 yrs old and I still feel like I am figuring out what I want to do when I grow up - arthritis and all. LOL. Oh yeah, and congrats on your theater roles! You are brilliant. Wish I could see you act and sing.
@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy I am pretty sure that your channel will keep growing because you are so talented and funny. You will be very successful, I one hundred per cent believe that.
It’s an absolute delight to watch your channel. But then again I was raised by a mom who was a theater person as were her parents. My grandparents taught ballet, toe, tap, violin, piano and elocution. And I was always the kid in the orchestra/band down in the pit for every musical. Soooo I say bring it on!!!! And try every format that speaks to you. That’s what makes growing older so exciting.
Missed you so much!! Everything you do is so much fun, so different and I love it all!! Take all of your talent and go for it! Love - Love - Love it! What ever you do I will be watching!
I enjoy all facets of your performances. Furniture Fables is like nothing else! I think all of your characters are very entertaining and I hope to see them again and again. Thanks for sharing your life with us. You have been blessed with a great deal of talent.
Andy-thank you for such a wonderful update video! You are such a creative soul and the world is your oyster! I will watch whatever it is you are called to create on TH-cam! I would definitely buy any book you wrote! I will say that I did learn a lot from you in the furniture restoration videos, but it is your creative soul that draws me to your videos. I don’t mind sponsored videos if you want to do that. I am newly retired and love that you would like to take your channel to the next level and I will be there with you, whatever that looks like! ❌⭕️
I started watching your channel because I was interested in fixing up/ flipping furniture at the time. I then found out I didn't like redoing furniture! So, all of the other channels that were furniture related I have unsubscribed, but not yours. You are the most fun person and I love all the things you show- I actually don't need the furniture part at all myself, but that is just me. I love your humor and ideas and how you express yourself. Plus, we are the same age so I do completely relate to the subjects you are talking about. Please, continue however you feel works for you as long as you enjoy doing this crazy TH-cam thing, I'm tuning in! Thank you for sharing you and your fun and funny moments, you're the best!
I do enjoy the furniture aspect of your life, but I tune in to see and hear you. I love your stories, your performances, everything. It's like spending time with friends. Whatever you choose, I'll be here with support.
Wow! You are woman of so many talents!! It was so fun to see you on stage and hear you sing! Thanks for sharing your talents and best wishes in all your future endeavors!!❤
Your little vignettes' bring joy to me and many, many others. Please keep doing what makes you happy and profitable whatever that is to you. Love this.
All of it please - your characters are fun, a running serial would be great! Plus furniture flips and sponsorships plus video of your ‘real’ acting. Yes paint by the sea romance novels! We are here TO WATCH YOU!
Lovely to see you again and catch up on what's been happening. I think creativity knows no bounds and I would be happy to check out whatever you are up to 🧡🧡🧡
Andy, I have loved your channel from day one. You are a very, multitalented person and I miss you when you are not here. You are a story teller and I support your channel in anything you put out there...even commercials. I know you will do what is needed for you and your family. I hope to see you again soon and I wish you the best in what you do. Be Blessed and safe. "Break a leg"
🎉 I love the fables and the flips. You are an original with the channel. Do whatever makes you happy and never fear. I'm 68 and still flipping furniture but it do hurt at times. Thanks for the entertainment!
I never resent creators for including sponsorships in their videos, you all put so much work in and deserve to get paid for it! (the only exception is if it's for a brand that's really harmful for some reason, and the creator either knew or really should have known that and chose to partner with them anyway). Loved getting a glimpse into the theater life and would definitely enjoy similar vlog type videos!
I will watch whatever you do. Maybe a musical? Or an OPERA?! I, too, am getting tired of furniture flips, so something different would be fun. You are so gifted and fun. Please do SOMETHING! I've missed you.
I understand where you're at in life. I am 64 a few months ago I wrote a book that has been rumbling around in my head. After that I started selling my thrifted furniture. I am having a great time, it's my time as it is yours! Have a great time we will be here when you get ready.
Andy, I’ve missed you! I love the skits and do love the specials. I love your furniture refinishes too. Thanks for sharing your stage performance. What a set of lungs you have! Honestly, I would love to see more family involved DIYs. Love the blog style, too. Yours is my favorite channel.
You are special 😊 Your story is what makes us watch not the furniture makeover. What ever you decide your viewers will be behind you watching your channel!
Follow your heart and everyone that loves your work will follow. I like the side story as much as refinishing,. You are so talented and you are expressing that on and off TH-cam. Take a sponsor that you really believe in. You never know where that might lead as well. Look forward to more of you!!
I have to say that I love everything you've done on your channel! No matter what you do, I will stick with you! Every video is extremely interesting, fun different and awesomely entertaining! Love all of the skits you've shown! I'm in it for the long haul! So excited to see what comes next, no matter what it is! I'll be watching! You make me laugh so hard I cry! You're hilarious and comical! Hurry, I can't wait 😊! Have an awesome week! Thank you for yet again a fantastic video! 😊❤
You are creatively fun. Listen to your instinct. I love your instructions on furniture restoration. But I was drawn to your furniture fables by your intros and reveals. You, my dear, are a wordsmith and I do enjoy your characters. When you are able to get a publishing contract I would try to squeeze money from my very limited income to purchase your books. I love children books better than adult books; only because, at 72 years young, I remain a child at heart with a great appreciation for musical comedy. Whatever you choose to do, do it for yourself and for your family. You will be successful with whatever you decide. The only one you should please is yourself and your family. The most successful people always bring others into their arena by the real, true joy they express in their artistry. Thank you for all the laughter you have provided me from years of watching your unique skits. GOD bless you.
Honestly, I am not usually a theater type person, I found you for the furniture refinishing, but I have stayed for your acting and absolutely fabulous stories and acting. Everytime I see one of your videos come up, I am thrilled. I love watching them. I understand the being age 52 with aches and pains and refinishing furniture too. I’m your age. Exactly. I also think you should not give up on your dreams of writing. Whatever you do, I’m here for it. I also understand having to do sponsorships. It’s a must now a days. We are here for you. Good luck deciding. Love your honesty and sharing of info.
Andy…As one of your biggest fans whatever you decide I’ll be watching as you continue to bring JOY to your audiences whether on TH-cam or for those of us lucky enough to see your amazing performances live 🎭. You have some many talents to share… I especially love the idea of supporting/uplifting women 💕 Stay blessed my friend.
Thank you so much for sharing Mary Poppins with us! It looked wonderful! Congratulations on all your accomplishments after Mary Poppins as well! I would definitely read As the Paint Dries!
I was really fortunate to have seen your performance at the SBMT in May. Wow, your Miss Andrew was deliciously evil, and your voice is incredible. You are definitely multi-talented. In my unbiased opinion your performance stole the show. Plus, it was fun to see your husband helping out at the concession stand. I love your channel. Your furniture flips are creative and I always learn something as I’m working on refinishing some pieces (obviously more basic than yours). But what I love most about your channel are your characters. It is so much fun to see those characters brought to life with their distinct personalities and fun little story lines. I can definitely see you writing a children’s book or the grown-up version of As the Paint Dries. It would be entertaining to get to know your characters on the written page and learn more of their backstory. You’ve got the talent to do whatever you want and take us with you on your journey of creations via your channel in a way that only you can do
I absolutely love the idea of the idea of talking about this stage of women's lives. I get it. I'm 58. My kids are adults with families of their own and the transition from "Mom" to "Me" had been sad but exciting. I thought I now have time to do all those creative things that were put aside during the Mom stage. BUT.. my body says even though your brain still thinks you are 30 you're almost 60. That whole transition has its own challenges. My biggest issue is I am still working as a nurse, taking care of our home, Spending time with my husband and doing all those things we have wanted to do when the kids were gone, and do the creative things too. I work as a hospice nurse so I know life can be unpredictable and short so don't wait do those things. Many women our ages take on all these things plus aging parents and being caregivers for them, or our spouses or grandchildren ... this stage of our lives is not talked about at all. It is nice to know we are not the only ones going through this stage of life. I enjoy your work and will continue to watch whatever you decide to focus your channel on. Thank you!
Wow, thank you so much for this, you put everything so perfectly! So many of us relate, and can feel supported when we share about this particular season - which as you say, is not talked about much.
I picked up what you were putting down. I initially loved your channel because it was different from anything I'd seen. I enjoy seeing your creativity in all forms, especially the "on theme" that connects with the projects. I even loved seeing the behind the scenes of the Mary Poppins. I think if expanding the world of your characters intrigues you that you should go for it. Try new things, this is the perfect time since your kiddos are getting ready for their next steps. Thank you for the heart to heart and I can't wait to see more from you. :)
Andy, I enjoy every one of your videos because you are authentic and entertaining ❤ I would miss your furniture flips, but I understand your struggle with continuing to do it on the regular. I’m slightly older than you and also flip furniture, but it’s getting harder as time goes on. It’s definitely physically demanding. If you do vlogs and/or stories (I love all your alter egos) and I would be here for anything you create! Best wishes as you contemplate what direction you want to go. ❤️❤️
I have gone back and watched all of your content and have enjoyed all of it. I look forward to your videos. They really helped pass time while recovering from heart surgery. I like all your ideas and would watch or read whatever you put out.
Andy, what a delight to see you again. You are at a cross roads. Please follow your creative heart as you did on stage. That creative passion is your super power. The Andy fans will follow you. Far be it from me to dictate what you are being called to do. I enjoy everything you present. It is always wonderful to have a furniture fable, but it is equally entertaining to see what you are doing in your nonfable existence. Sponsorship is necessary. Even Michelangelo had bills to pay. Go, Andy, Go!!!
And what a delight to read this, thank you so much!! I suppose if it was good enough for Michelangelo...😂 Your support and encouragement mean so much, thanks again!!
Yes, yes, more paint by the sea!! You are so talented and I love everything you are passionate about, so go for it all!! Congratulations on your fantastic performance and for sharing it with us! Go for sponsorships and/or whatever form you need to do! You do inspire me with your ability to entertain and share all your gifts, your channel is just so wonderful!🤩 And, change is such an important part of growth and happiness! Love the bookcase backdrop! Thank you for all your magic🙌🏽🥰🎃👏🏽
I was just thinking about you yesterday! Glad to see you back giving us an update on your life! I love your channel! Please don’t overthink anything! I love the updates, the redoing of furniture and life things! Just keep doing what you are doing! I will keep watching with or without sponsors. Glad you and your family are doing great!
I've missed you. The creativity you bring to your channel is what makes you unique and so enjoyable. Sponsors are fine. We see them on all the channels. Just Do what feeds your soul and that will transfer to your followers. Thank you for the vlog.
Thank you for the fabulous walk down Mary Poppins memory lane. Being in this show with you and everyone was a highlight of my life and I miss being on stage. Being paired with you during the how’s was favorite moment for me each night. Can’t wait until my next show’s rehearsal begin! Love you so much. Now I wanna go watch all the other clips that I have stored in my phone! I’m still watching the rest of your video about your future endeavors, so I’ll reserve commenting except to say that you have so much to gift to the world. I can’t wait to see what you do next!
OMG Andy! I would watch aaaannnyyy thing you post. You are such a pleasure to watch and listen too. You are also very talented and it seems, too, a wonderful human being. Your characters are so much fun. You have me laughing so hard, and so often. I even make my family watch your specials. Do whatever it takes to make this profitable as I want to continue watching you on this platform. All the very best!
I came for the furniture and stayed for the comedy. Creators create - go follow your dreams, and if offered I’ll view! You’re unique and a valuable voice. I look forward to how you grow both your business side and creative side. The aching is real and I feel dramatic differences and better w/o inflammatory foods. I suffer when I imbibe yet glide when I take care. Happy to see you!
I loved your summer special!!! I laughed out loud so many times and shared it with friends who share our quirky sense of humor. Do what brings you joy, Andy - your people will find you!! You’re unique and brave! That’s huge in this world of imposter syndrome. 😊
Andy, I love it all but its up to you. Please keep a little of the old Andy and co in it. Looking forward to whatever comes our way. Best wishes and blessings to you in whatever you choose. 🎉❤
Loved watching you do your stage makeup! I do Ursula from The Little Mermaid quite often and I'm still learning how to do the makeup. It takes me over an hour each time
Your channel is ALOT different and that's why I LOVE it!!! The furniture flips are excellent, but it's all the other stuff... Painterly and company for instance. That is what makes your channel all that and a bag of chips!! Keep doing what you do, when you can.❤
I love all your videos here on TH-cam. I started with the furniture make overs and learned some things, but the skits keep me watching. I think Hallmark should hire you immediately! Writing, directing, acting, all of it. My husband watched the "Paint by the Sea" videos with me and couldn't stop laughing. I would also happily read any books you choose to write. The best romance writers use a good dose of humor. Do whatever makes you happy. Just keep us posted and we'll be here for it 💯.

Can I just saaaaay...I like watching you, as yourself most. The vlogging while cleaning the closet was Hilarious. If you want to write a book, take us along the ride. If you want to cook dinner for a party or decorate for the holidays or play a villain in a musical BRING US ALONG. You are one of those people who is fun and silly and not afraid to take chances. Do sketches, redo furniture, do voiceovers of your pets. You will be awesome at it. I truly appreciate your love for creativity. Keep it up. (OH and we all watch others do commercials and understand why they do it. So no one will mind if you do it too. In fact, I wondered why you didn't do it more.)
This! All of this!!! I completely agree!
Well said!!
Holy smokes, WOW - thank you so so so much for this!! Saving this one - truly appreciate your support and insight. 😍🙏🥰
Perfectly said!
Agreed❤
I would watch whatever you come up with. I really enjoy the things you come up with.
That is amazing to hear, thanks so much!!
Yes! Same for me!
I enjoy furniture flips but…it is your story telling and your personality that have kept me coming back. 😊 Unleash your creativity and share it with us!
Wow, amazing to hear that, thank you so much!! 😍
Andy, you have been dearly missed, but i am so happy that you've been enjoying a creative world outside of YT! You deserve every bit of happiness. You are talebted in far more than furniture flipping. Come on, I mean that amazing soprano of yours, and your stage acting, also fab! Thanks so much for sharing all this with us.
As for your skits... I adore them, one and all! We are close in age, and I say, do what brings you fulfillment and joy! Be safe! Now got break a leg (not literally)! ❤❤❤
Oh wow, so appreciate hearing this, thank you so much!!
Agree!
Don’t give up on your creative ideas!!! Do the sponsorships… do the vloging… do the storytelling… throw in furniture. you are so good at it and your design sense is quite different, quirky at times and amazingly beautiful! The long form story did not call me but… keep doing what makes your heart sing cause that will make all you do amazingly wonderful and uniquely you! Which is why we all come back…. For you !!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤ love ya Girl!
Thank you so much, such great feedback!!
When I first found your channel (for the furniture) I thought “what is this?”. It was the episode when you had the audition for Mary Poppin. A bit confused I watched some more episodes, and I was hooked! I love it!❤
It would be ok with commercial, but only ☝️
Do all the sponserships you can possibly do! We got your back! and your worth it. Any content is good content from you!
Wow, many thanks for your support and encouragement!! 😍
I really enjoy your fables and how creative you are. The furniture flips are great to watch, but there are so many TH-cam channels on furniture flipping. I believe your channel should be your creative abilities being showcased. That is what makes it successful. Do what you want to do and your fans will enjoy following where ever you go. Doing sponsorships is not a turn off as long as you believe in the product.
You could add DYI projects flowers, baskets, home decor. Humor all over. I'm 60 and really could use much more humor... Please keep doing you it's FABOULOUS!!! GOD BLESS
Ok, I LOVE that!! Many thanks!!!
You are so gifted in all you do and such a joy to watch. Whatever you decide to go with, I'll be entertained. There aren't any TH-cam channels that I watch, except yours, that make me laugh out loud. ❤
Oh wow - that is a HUGE compliment, thank you so much!!!
Agree! Whatever floats your paint-brushes, since it will be done with joy and honesty it would be gold-leaf to us. I came for the furniture but have stayed for you! Very few remain interested in one type of content. We all evolve(hopefully). Its natural that the same goes for the content creators. Create away my dear ❤
Whatever motivates you to be creative plum tickles me. Love your furniture flips with soap opera overtones. Decorate Renovate Dance to the music. Express yourself, I am along for the ride. As long as there is a ride.
Thanks so much, that’s so encouraging! Yes, let's ride!! 🏍️
So glad you are back Andy, we’ve waited so patiently. 🤓
The glimpse of the theater was fabulously fun and your performance was amazing!!
Honestly I would watch just about anything you create. I’m 61 and currently struggling with no longer being able to do Upholstery as a career. It’s disheartening to realize you can no longer do the things you used to do and a real brain adjustment trying to create life 2.0.
That being said… I love the idea for helping women at this stage of life.
So here is my humble suggestion for your channel.
50% new inspired content
25% furniture refreshes or similar creative endeavors.
25% vlog
------
100% awesomeness!
I think the summer and Christmas specials are just perfect. Always leave them wanting more. ( still haven’t watch the summer skit, I’m savoring it!)
I wouldn’t be offended by sponsorship. You have to earn money and I know you’d make that too enjoyable.
God bless you in whatever you choose to do my dear, we are here for you!❤️👏🏻
Oh wow - thank you so much! Absolutely LOVE your recipe for for 100% awesomeness...I think you are on to something!
WELCOME BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK, we missed youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. You look great by the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much, so great to be back!! And many thanks - I've definitely lost a little weight!
@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy You´re always beautiful! It´s a glow! Nothing compares to do what makes us happy!!!
I actually sit through the furniture stuff…. Just so I can watch the characters. 😊
There are tons of furniture videos…. Only one Paint by the Sea….and Drea of course.
That is so wonderful to hear, thank you so much!!
"50 Shades of Sage" whatever you put down I'm up for! lol So great to see you following your passions.
OMG I'm dying!! 🤣 Thanks so much!!
orrrr...50 shades of STAGE! 😁
Very good!@@annelarson160
I so love your last thoughts!!! the idea of supporting us women in this new season of life for joy and purpose and delight! I’m so down with that🧡🌿👍
Hooray, awesome to hear that!! Many thanks!
So good to have you back, Andy! There are not many folks who can speak to an "assumed" audience in such a casual, conversational manner. I always feel as if we are alone in our jammies sharing a cup of coffee. I, too, came for the furniture flipping, but also found a beautiful, honest, multi-talented women who is able to laugh with, and at herself. I love the characters that introduce each Furniture Fable. I will say a couple of the skits got a little long, but they were always written and performed in such a fun style. Congratulations, on your stage success! Great voice and actress. Going forward ... there's nothing wrong with sponsorships. If you really like and use the products and/or services, there's no reason not to let us all in on it. My heart is with furniture flipping, but watching you clean out a closet was fun, too. Love the idea of helping other women find their creative outlet(s). Most of us are constipated by fear of failing. Maybe you could try pottery, or sculpture, or _______ showcasing other talented women succeeding in their chosen field. Just a thought. Whatever you decide, I'm sure it will be presented with grace, style, panache, and your tongue planted firmly in your cheek. Prayers and best wishes for your continued success!❤🙏
Wow, thank you so much - truly appreciate hearing that - I honestly feel the one-on-one jammies/coffee conversation vibe too! 😍 Love all your insight, ideas (sculpture - yes!!!) and support!
First, you are an inspiration to all of your viewers, be it in furniture work or personal enrichment in our lives. Secondly, you are NOT too old yet, :) for furniture flipping. I am ten years older than you and I absolutely love the creative process of repurposing old pieces into something completely different. I once turned wooden bar stools into a spa cabinet and a wine cabinet, and two cheap, ugly night stands into a beautiful padded, garden bench for a porch or entryway. But I understand the imminent physical limitations.
I LOVE the idea of you writing a book, I also am a writer and about to get my first novel self-published. ( I would have finished it years ago if work did not have such a way of interfering with life! ). It's a cozy mystery which is infused with my life experiences from training dogs, photography, coffee roasting, herbal remedies, motorcycling, classic cars, investigative and martial arts training and much more. You have so many experiences to incorporate into a good book as well. Though I am more into mysteries than romances, I would most definitely buy your book. Mostly because I love your channel and feel that connection to you in the love of craftsmanship of any means.
I love the combination of the Painterly crew and furniture flips, maybe you can work on less difficult flips and mix it up with easily crafted decor ideas. (I loved that dining room lighting you did). I can also see you doing a video reading of a children's book that you write. That would be fun for us adults to watch as well. You have a ton of good ideas, Go with as many as you can.
I wear many, many hats. And the one very good benefit of that is its ability to ward off boredom and stale moments. :)
All the best to you in your new ventures. I look forward to more of your creative videos.
Wow - thank you so much for this! So many wonderful ideas, and can't tell you how much I appreciate the support and encouragement. 😍
Your creativity and personality is what I tune in for …. The furniture is a bonus! Keep doing what makes your heart sing in all its b flat glory 🥰.
Hooray, thanks so much!! 🎶
Most of the bloggers have sponsors and you can’t continue for low wages, when you have so much talent and currently in demand. I love the sharing of your theatre experience.
Thanks so much, and love that insight!
Please do whatever! We love you, I've missed you, so happy for you to be acting, singing, all the things... I'd watch you do whatever you want.. please don't go away, you're an absolute joy!
Oh wow, thank you so much! Amazing to hear this!!
Two (2) things...the 1st is when Biff said his steamy plant propagation part and then ended it with MULCH, I could not stop laughing, I'm still laughing. 🤣
2nd is, if your furniture flipping, making paint by the sea episodes, sharing stage performance videos, or just washing the dinner dishes, I am here for it!!! ❤💯
Hooray!! Many thanks!!! If I can make washing the dishes interesting, I will be quite proud. 😂 And yes - that "mulch" line had me giggling for quite awhile too...also, Biff says "hey". 👋😍
Congratulations on your theatrical accomplishments! It was obvious from your body language and facial expressions that you throughly enjoyed the experience. I listened to this video twice. The first time, you grabbed my attention when you said a particular phrase. I listened the second time to be sure I had heard correctly. You said "my heart is called...." A calling is profoundly significant. Following the calling of one's heart is important to one's psychological and physical well-being. Follow your calling. You will reach the right destination.
Wow - so wise and insightful, I agree with you. Thank you so much for such wonderful support!
Andy, my mind is reeling! First, bravo and standing O for your portrayal of Miss Andrew. Your theatre company has a treasure in you. I’d love to be under your musical direction. Secondly, I’ll watch anything you produce on TH-cam with ads or not (I came for the furniture flipping, I stayed for your comedy, production quality, script writing, character portrayals, etc…..). Third, books would be awesome, but I must admit that if the characters are the same, I would be picturing you in my mind, sooooo…. not sure how that would work! Finally, you have a fan forever. No matter what you choose to do with your channel, I will be here for it. Whether I watch in the morning with a coffee, or in the evening with a glass of wine, I click as soon as I see a notification from you. Thanks for sharing your incredible creativity with us! We love you.💛💛💛
@@NitrosMom074 Exactly…🤩
WOWZA, thank you SO MUCH! Your support means everything. And yes....LOL....I get that issue you are referring to with the PBTS romance idea.... 😅 Maybe new characters are needed....😂
I don't mind sponsorships! You are so creative in your skits, your unique flips, and you have the ability to make us laugh. Ultimately, do what brings you joy!
Love this - thank you so much for your feedback and support!!
We really Love watch your channel because of the skits. Don't change. We just want to see more. You are great.... !!!!!
Wow, so great to hear that - thank you so much!
I have enjoyed the side angles. Like the Carin,the closest redo. Maybe if you have a friend that needs help doing something in their home. Don’t stop making Furniture Fables.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you - so great to hear this!
Andy, I came here for your beautiful furniture fables, not knowing that I would also find a fellow creative, artistic, musical soul. I love your furniture flips, but I've also been thoroughly entertained and delighted with every other type of video you've made on this channel. Whether it's been skits with Painterly and the gang, building a catio, decorating for Thanksgiving or other vlogs about your life, I've really enjoyed spending time in your world. I'm in your age group and you inspire me to not be afraid of being more creative and trying new things, or getting back to old things I used to love, like singing. You have a wonderful energy and infectious enthusiasm and wit, but you also keep it real and aren't afraid to show us your vulnerabilities. So continue to produce whatever content brings you joy, because I'm here for all of it! ❤
I seriously have happy tears....thank you so very much for this!! I'm honored, and so lucky to have your support and encouragement! 🥹😍🙏
Dear Andy,
Soar as high as you want and as far as you want! Just by expressing all your fun ideas teaches us by example to be creative!
Sponsorship is fine! Do what you need to do. I thoroughly enjoyed the Paint-by the -Sea Summer Special and would love whatever you come up with next...because they just keep getting better and BETTER. Maybe don't do a furniture flip unless you are really excited about it? All on one channel until creativity "cell meiosis" actually forces you to start another channel? Go for your dreams, kiddo! "Yes!" to all your new ideas! I'm here for it. It has been so fun seeing you go for your theatrical dreams. Just go for it.
Hugs and appreciation from a huge fan.
Wow, thank you SO MUCH for all the love and encouragement! 😍
You make things so fun I think you could do it all. And a sponsorship? Go for it!! I am a newer viewer and I love your furniture flips!! Your humor is the icing on the cake!!!
Thank you so much, wonderful to hear that! 🙏
Sweet, silly Andy, your channel gave me new hope that after 3 yrs of tragedy, I can start over at...65😂. You have the best furniture design.🎉
You’re not old. You are amazing and creative. I love the ideas you have, don’t change a thing.
Yay, thank you so much!
Keep doing what you love and take us along with you--I'll watch whatever you choose to produce!
Hooray, many thanks!
Anything !!! Just please don't go away I absolutely love you and your channel 🎉❤
Oh wow, thanks so much!! 😍🩷
Whatever you do--i'll be there! I love all your characters and have missed "all of you." It is so apparent that you LOVE doing theater, but you love your channel too. Go where your heart takes you, and take us along when you can.
I truly appreciate that, thank you!
I am so very happy you are back. Enjoyed seeing the making of your characters. What a wonderful voice too. Of course your furniture designs are unique, very creative. As an artist I understand the toll the work takes on us, especially when arthritis hits us.
Your characters are a joy to watch. If you decide to write, this is selfish of me of what I like; when I read or when working like to listen to audio books. I drift towards mysteries, something to hunt for, or a puzzle to decipher, but isn't bloody. Love interest is good to have in the story. If sponsorships will help and not hinder your work then do them. Actually what ever you decide I know it will be successful.
Oh, I LOVE that idea!! I started writing a mystery for the Paint By The Sea gang...could be a lot of fun. Thanks so much for your support and feedback!
Have always loved Furniture Fables. I can also understand that it can take a toll on arthritic parts! Looking forward to seeing you back in whatever format you choose. You were fabulous in "Mary Poppins".
Wow, thanks so much!!! 🎭😍
I like “You never know.” Let the creativity flow in all directions and share that with us. As things evolve, consider changing the name of your channel to represent the potpourri of fun you offer us.
I love that idea, and have considered that as well! Many thanks!
I totally understand. I am 56 and had to give up doing furniture full time. I have had back surgery and needed to learn to say no. Do what makes YOU happy. We will all be here because we live you. I make soap now, much lighter
Wow, I'm so sorry to hear about your back! But I'm glad you've found something you love to do - very inspiring. Thanks so much!
As a 54 year old amateur furniture flipper I completely understand the physical strain of it. Your creativity is a joy to watch. I say " give it a go" to whatever brings you joy. It won't hurt to try. It's how you find out if it's something you want to do. I'm here for the next... whatever that may be. Bravo on the acting and singing. Absolutely fantabulous!
Well hello fellow furniture "fabler"! Many thanks, I truly appreciate your support!!
Darling ... you are fabulous! I come for the entertainment, the laughter, and the passion for your creativity. You do you, and I'll be right here watching!! 🤩
Thank you so much, it means the world to me!
I've really missed you on yt. Your channel is unique. The skits, the furniture makovers, the laughs, just totally unique. Whatever you come up with in the future, I'm sure that it will be amazing.
WOW, I'm so honored - thank you so much!!
I came for the furniture, but especially enjoy the episodes because of the acting gives an extra bit of lighthearted fun. If you decided to go to straight acting and left out the furniture or decided to write a book, I’d give them a try. Although I do think you’d need to do a deeper plot that arcs over episodes to keep me coming back. Sponsorship? Go for it. Helping women find their creativity sounds wonderful! I’ll happily come along for the ride while you explore options.
Wow, amazing to hear this, thank you so much! And I think your insights are spot on. 👍
I always have looked forward to your videos, incorporating your acting into a furniture flip. I think it's brilliant! I have really missed you. I wish you would do more. The cast of characters is hilarious and so fun to watch. I don't think there is anything else like it on TH-cam? to my knowledge, anyhow. Plus, you do a really awesome job with your furniture art. Whatever you do, you can mix it up, do what you want! You can do it! Do it. I love you - and all of your personalities 😅. I am 60 yrs old and I still feel like I am figuring out what I want to do when I grow up - arthritis and all. LOL. Oh yeah, and congrats on your theater roles! You are brilliant. Wish I could see you act and sing.
WOW, many thanks!! So encouraging to hear this, I really appreciate it!!
@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy I am pretty sure that your channel will keep growing because you are so talented and funny. You will be very successful, I one hundred per cent believe that.
It’s an absolute delight to watch your channel. But then again I was raised by a mom who was a theater person as were her parents. My grandparents taught ballet, toe, tap, violin, piano and elocution. And I was always the kid in the orchestra/band down in the pit for every musical. Soooo I say bring it on!!!! And try every format that speaks to you. That’s what makes growing older so exciting.
WOW!!! What an amazing family you have!! I'm sure you have many stories to tell. Thank you so much for your support!
Missed you so much!! Everything you do is so much fun, so different and I love it all!! Take all of your talent and go for it! Love - Love - Love it! What ever you do I will be watching!
WOW, thank you so much!!
I enjoy all facets of your performances. Furniture Fables is like nothing else! I think all of your characters are very entertaining and I hope to see them again and again. Thanks for sharing your life with us. You have been blessed
with a great deal of talent.
You are so kind, thank you so much!!
Andy-thank you for such a wonderful update video! You are such a creative soul and the world is your oyster! I will watch whatever it is you are called to create on TH-cam! I would definitely buy any book you wrote! I will say that I did learn a lot from you in the furniture restoration videos, but it is your creative soul that draws me to your videos. I don’t mind sponsored videos if you want to do that. I am newly retired and love that you would like to take your channel to the next level and I will be there with you, whatever that looks like! ❌⭕️
Thank you so much for your encouragement and support, it means the world to me!
Congrats Andy. You're very entertaining no matter what you do and a joy to watch. I miss furniture fables too. It would never get old.
Wow, thank you so much!!
I started watching your channel because I was interested in fixing up/ flipping furniture at the time. I then found out I didn't like redoing furniture! So, all of the other channels that were furniture related I have unsubscribed, but not yours. You are the most fun person and I love all the things you show- I actually don't need the furniture part at all myself, but that is just me. I love your humor and ideas and how you express yourself. Plus, we are the same age so I do completely relate to the subjects you are talking about. Please, continue however you feel works for you as long as you enjoy doing this crazy TH-cam thing, I'm tuning in! Thank you for sharing you and your fun and funny moments, you're the best!
Wow, that is such a cool perspective, thank you so much for sharing and for your support!! 😍
I do enjoy the furniture aspect of your life, but I tune in to see and hear you. I love your stories, your performances, everything. It's like spending time with friends. Whatever you choose, I'll be here with support.
Wow, that means so much to me, thank you!
I have missed you. I will watch your amazing talents in all and everything you want to do.
Wow, thank you so much!!
Andy, I came for the furniture,but, stay for the entertainment! Thanks!
Oh, that's so good to hear, thank you!
Wow! You are woman of so many talents!! It was so fun to see you on stage and hear you sing! Thanks for sharing your talents and best wishes in all your future endeavors!!❤
That means so much, thank you!
Your little vignettes' bring joy to me and many, many others. Please keep doing what makes you happy and profitable whatever that is to you. Love this.
So happy to hear that, thank you so much!!
All of it please - your characters are fun, a running serial would be great! Plus furniture flips and sponsorships plus video of your ‘real’ acting. Yes paint by the sea romance novels! We are here TO WATCH YOU!
Wow, thank you SO MUCH!! Love this!
Lovely to see you again and catch up on what's been happening. I think creativity knows no bounds and I would be happy to check out whatever you are up to 🧡🧡🧡
Wow, thank you so much!
Andy, I have loved your channel from day one. You are a very, multitalented person and I miss you when you are not here. You are a story teller and I support your channel in anything you put out there...even commercials. I know you will do what is needed for you and your family. I hope to see you again soon and I wish you the best in what you do. Be Blessed and safe. "Break a leg"
Wow. I'm so honored to get to read this!! Thank you so much for your support all along the way on this journey! 😍🙏
🎉 I love the fables and the flips. You are an original with the channel. Do whatever makes you happy and never fear. I'm 68 and still flipping furniture but it do hurt at times. Thanks for the entertainment!
Thank you so much, so encouraging! 🙏😍
I never resent creators for including sponsorships in their videos, you all put so much work in and deserve to get paid for it! (the only exception is if it's for a brand that's really harmful for some reason, and the creator either knew or really should have known that and chose to partner with them anyway). Loved getting a glimpse into the theater life and would definitely enjoy similar vlog type videos!
Love that insight - and I feel the same way. Thank you so much, so glad you enjoyed the MP vlog!
I will watch whatever you do. Maybe a musical? Or an OPERA?! I, too, am getting tired of furniture flips, so something different would be fun. You are so gifted and fun. Please do SOMETHING! I've missed you.
Wow, that is amazing to hear - thank you so much!! I've missed being here!
I understand where you're at in life. I am 64 a few months ago I wrote a book that has been rumbling around in my head. After that I started selling my thrifted furniture. I am having a great time, it's my time as it is yours! Have a great time we will be here when you get ready.
That's absolutely incredible! Congrats on your book, and absolutely love your attitude. Many thanks. 🙏😍
Andy, I’ve missed you! I love the skits and do love the specials. I love your furniture refinishes too. Thanks for sharing your stage performance. What a set of lungs you have! Honestly, I would love to see more family involved DIYs. Love the blog style, too. Yours is my favorite channel.
Oh wow, thank you so much!! That's so amazing to hear! I would love to get that family more involved...😊
The gang is back!!! Of course, they're all Andy, and Andy is brilliant. So let the entertainment proceed!
Thank you!! (and the whole gang says thanks, too!) 😂🩷
You are special 😊 Your story is what makes us watch not the furniture makeover. What ever you decide your viewers will be behind you watching your channel!
That is so very kind of you, thank you! 🙏
Follow your heart and everyone that loves your work will follow. I like the side story as much as refinishing,. You are so talented and you are expressing that on and off TH-cam. Take a sponsor that you really believe in. You never know where that might lead as well. Look forward to more of you!!
This is so beautifully put, thank you so much!!
I have to say that I love everything you've done on your channel! No matter what you do, I will stick with you! Every video is extremely interesting, fun different and awesomely entertaining! Love all of the skits you've shown! I'm in it for the long haul! So excited to see what comes next, no matter what it is! I'll be watching! You make me laugh so hard I cry! You're hilarious and comical! Hurry, I can't wait 😊! Have an awesome week! Thank you for yet again a fantastic video! 😊❤
You look beautiful and we all miss you. Xox😊
Wow, thank you so much!! 😍
Oh, this was so much fun. The singing! Wow. Loved it all.❤
Thanks so much! 🎶
You are creatively fun. Listen to your instinct. I love your instructions on furniture restoration. But I was drawn to your furniture fables by your intros and reveals. You, my dear, are a wordsmith and I do enjoy your characters. When you are able to get a publishing contract I would try to squeeze money from my very limited income to purchase your books. I love children books better than adult books; only because, at 72 years young, I remain a child at heart with a great appreciation for musical comedy. Whatever you choose to do, do it for yourself and for your family. You will be successful with whatever you decide. The only one you should please is yourself and your family. The most successful people always bring others into their arena by the real, true joy they express in their artistry. Thank you for all the laughter you have provided me from years of watching your unique skits. GOD bless you.
Oh wow, thank you so much for this! I'm moved and honored, and think your insight is spot on. 😍
Love your channel. I am always on the lookout for a new fable! Whatever you do I am here for it!
Hooray!! Many thanks!
Honestly, I am not usually a theater type person, I found you for the furniture refinishing, but I have stayed for your acting and absolutely fabulous stories and acting. Everytime I see one of your videos come up, I am thrilled. I love watching them. I understand the being age 52 with aches and pains and refinishing furniture too. I’m your age. Exactly. I also think you should not give up on your dreams of writing. Whatever you do, I’m here for it. I also understand having to do sponsorships. It’s a must now a days. We are here for you. Good luck deciding. Love your honesty and sharing of info.
Thank you - so encouraging to hear from you, being in the same "season" - truly appreciate the support!
Andy…As one of your biggest fans whatever you decide I’ll be watching as you continue to bring JOY to your audiences whether on TH-cam or for those of us lucky enough to see your amazing performances live 🎭. You have some many talents to share… I especially love the idea of supporting/uplifting women 💕 Stay blessed my friend.
Kim, can't thank you enough!! 🥹🙏😍
Thank you so much for sharing Mary Poppins with us! It looked wonderful! Congratulations on all your accomplishments after Mary Poppins as well! I would definitely read As the Paint Dries!
Yay, thank you, and thanks for great feedback!
I would watch you no matter what you decide to do! Go for the sponsorships some youtubers make "commercials" an integral part of the video.
Wow, thank you so much!! Yes - I gotta learn how to do that! 😅
I was really fortunate to have seen your performance at the SBMT in May. Wow, your Miss Andrew was deliciously evil, and your voice is incredible. You are definitely multi-talented. In my unbiased opinion your performance stole the show. Plus, it was fun to see your husband helping out at the concession stand. I love your channel. Your furniture flips are creative and I always learn something as I’m working on refinishing some pieces (obviously more basic than yours). But what I love most about your channel are your characters. It is so much fun to see those characters brought to life with their distinct personalities and fun little story lines. I can definitely see you writing a children’s book or the grown-up version of As the Paint Dries. It would be entertaining to get to know your characters on the written page and learn more of their backstory. You’ve got the talent to do whatever you want and take us with you on your journey of creations via your channel in a way that only you can do
Writer/actor/producer You can do it all😊
Wow, thank you so much!!
ALL OF THE ABOVE! Your creativity is addictive whatever you do.
Wow, thanks so much!
ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING you do is so awesome! So it would be great to have a bit of everything!!!!
Yay, and hooray!!! Many thanks!
I absolutely love the idea of the idea of talking about this stage of women's lives. I get it. I'm 58. My kids are adults with families of their own and the transition from "Mom" to "Me" had been sad but exciting. I thought I now have time to do all those creative things that were put aside during the Mom stage. BUT.. my body says even though your brain still thinks you are 30 you're almost 60. That whole transition has its own challenges. My biggest issue is I am still working as a nurse, taking care of our home, Spending time with my husband and doing all those things we have wanted to do when the kids were gone, and do the creative things too. I work as a hospice nurse so I know life can be unpredictable and short so don't wait do those things. Many women our ages take on all these things plus aging parents and being caregivers for them, or our spouses or grandchildren ... this stage of our lives is not talked about at all. It is nice to know we are not the only ones going through this stage of life. I enjoy your work and will continue to watch whatever you decide to focus your channel on. Thank you!
Wow, thank you so much for this, you put everything so perfectly! So many of us relate, and can feel supported when we share about this particular season - which as you say, is not talked about much.
I picked up what you were putting down. I initially loved your channel because it was different from anything I'd seen. I enjoy seeing your creativity in all forms, especially the "on theme" that connects with the projects. I even loved seeing the behind the scenes of the Mary Poppins. I think if expanding the world of your characters intrigues you that you should go for it. Try new things, this is the perfect time since your kiddos are getting ready for their next steps. Thank you for the heart to heart and I can't wait to see more from you. :)
Yay! Many thanks - great feedback, and truly appreciate your support of new ideas!! 😍
Andy, I enjoy every one of your videos because you are authentic and entertaining ❤ I would miss your furniture flips, but I understand your struggle with continuing to do it on the regular. I’m slightly older than you and also flip furniture, but it’s getting harder as time goes on. It’s definitely physically demanding. If you do vlogs and/or stories (I love all your alter egos) and I would be here for anything you create! Best wishes as you contemplate what direction you want to go. ❤️❤️
Wow, thank you so much for this - great feedback an truly appreciate the support!
I have gone back and watched all of your content and have enjoyed all of it. I look forward to your videos. They really helped pass time while recovering from heart surgery. I like all your ideas and would watch or read whatever you put out.
Oh wow, well first of all - I'm so glad they were a help during your recovery!! Honored, actually. Many thanks!! 🙏😊
Andy, what a delight to see you again. You are at a cross roads. Please follow your creative heart as you did on stage. That creative passion is your super power. The Andy fans will follow you. Far be it from me to dictate what you are being called to do. I enjoy everything you present. It is always wonderful to have a furniture fable, but it is equally entertaining to see what you are doing in your nonfable existence. Sponsorship is necessary. Even Michelangelo had bills to pay. Go, Andy, Go!!!
And what a delight to read this, thank you so much!! I suppose if it was good enough for Michelangelo...😂 Your support and encouragement mean so much, thanks again!!

I was just thinking about you yesterday! Glad to see you back giving us an update on your life! I love your channel! Please don’t overthink anything! I love the updates, the redoing of furniture and life things! Just keep doing what you are doing! I will keep watching with or without sponsors. Glad you and your family are doing great!
So great to hear this feedback, thank you!!
I set aside actual WATCH time (not just listening passively) for your Paint by the Sea videos! You crack me up!
That is the BEST compliment, thank you!!
No new channel. Just put it all here. We are here for you, whatever it is. You are so creative, so we will watch. Don’t worry. We got you girl!❤
Wow, thanks so much!!
I've missed you. The creativity you bring to your channel is what makes you unique and so enjoyable. Sponsors are fine. We see them on all the channels. Just Do what feeds your soul and that will transfer to your followers. Thank you for the vlog.
So lovely to hear this, thank you so much! (and I've missed you too!) 😍
Thank you for the fabulous walk down Mary Poppins memory lane. Being in this show with you and everyone was a highlight of my life and I miss being on stage. Being paired with you during the how’s was favorite moment for me each night. Can’t wait until my next show’s rehearsal begin! Love you so much. Now I wanna go watch all the other clips that I have stored in my phone!
I’m still watching the rest of your video about your future endeavors, so I’ll reserve commenting except to say that you have so much to gift to the world. I can’t wait to see what you do next!
Oh wow, thank you so much, Kathryn!! Meeting you was for sure a highlight for me! We MUST do another show together soooooon!!!! 🕊️🐦⬛
the characters would be great in book form. Steam and laughter, who could ask for more! i love your videos too.
YAY! Awesome to hear this, thanks so much!!
OMG Andy! I would watch aaaannnyyy thing you post. You are such a pleasure to watch and listen too. You are also very talented and it seems, too, a wonderful human being. Your characters are so much fun. You have me laughing so hard, and so often. I even make my family watch your specials. Do whatever it takes to make this profitable as I want to continue watching you on this platform. All the very best!
Oh my goodness, thank you so much!! I'm so happy to hear this! 💖
My husband and I REALLY loved the Painterly series. Love to see it on a quarterly basis. Yes, Halloween, Paint by the Sea! 🎃
Yay!! That is amazing to hear, thank you! (and thrilled your husband likes it too!) 😍
You need to do what makes you happy.
I love your stories that tie into your furniture redos, you are very creative, I love it
That is so great to hear, thank you!!
I came for the furniture and stayed for the comedy. Creators create - go follow your dreams, and if offered I’ll view! You’re unique and a valuable voice. I look forward to how you grow both your business side and creative side. The aching is real and I feel dramatic differences and better w/o inflammatory foods. I suffer when I imbibe yet glide when I take care.
Happy to see you!
Thank you so much for your support and kind words! 👍
I loved your summer special!!! I laughed out loud so many times and shared it with friends who share our quirky sense of humor. Do what brings you joy, Andy - your people will find you!! You’re unique and brave! That’s huge in this world of imposter syndrome. 😊
Wow, thank you so much for this, I think you are spot on!! And many thanks for sharing the summer special - means so much!
Oh my stars your hitting that one note gave me goosebumps!! Well done!
Oh thanks so much!!
I love all of your videos, and I'd love your books too! You are great. Unique.
Many thanks!
Yes, yes more "Paint by the Sea" and your furniture transformations are really good!
Hooray! Many thanks!!
Andy, I love it all but its up to you. Please keep a little of the old Andy and co in it. Looking forward to whatever comes our way. Best wishes and blessings to you in whatever you choose. 🎉❤
Thank you, I appreciate your support so much!
Loved watching you do your stage makeup! I do Ursula from The Little Mermaid quite often and I'm still learning how to do the makeup. It takes me over an hour each time
Oh wow - that is amazing!! I sang "Poor Unfortunate Soul" for my audition song. 🎶 I can believe it takes that long - stage make up takes awhile! 😅🎭
Your channel is ALOT different and that's why I LOVE it!!! The furniture flips are excellent, but it's all the other stuff... Painterly and company for instance. That is what makes your channel all that and a bag of chips!! Keep doing what you do, when you can.❤
Thank you so much, that means so much to me! 😍
I love all your videos here on TH-cam. I started with the furniture make overs and learned some things, but the skits keep me watching. I think Hallmark should hire you immediately! Writing, directing, acting, all of it. My husband watched the "Paint by the Sea" videos with me and couldn't stop laughing. I would also happily read any books you choose to write. The best romance writers use a good dose of humor. Do whatever makes you happy. Just keep us posted and we'll be here for it 💯.
Wow, and hooray!! So glad your husband enjoyed too! Many thanks!! 😍
