What song is it ?
@@vintagejunktofunk4616 sp pretty right? I used about 6 songs, they are all from a TH-cam subscription, YT requires us to use songs that are copyright safe :)
@@DebisDesignDiary love you're story you r doing really great job
Debi, you are such an inspiration to me! I wish to someday visit your store because I adore your design details and style. But, I have to say this too…I really love your stories. God Bless you ❤️
You create little universes when you paint on furniture. Little worlds for people to visit. To feel the colors and enjoy the sensation of seeing the flowers laid over each other. I very much enjoy seeing your artwork. I am also an artist, and I am learning by watching your videos. Sometime I'm going to cut loose and start painting furniture. Gotta find that muse. Your art is going to be part of it. Thank you so much.
Hey Debbie, I truly love it when you paint and testify. Because most of your little stories are a testimony of your walk with God. They are uplifting, encouraging and we get to see something beautiful you’ve created at the end. You are an inspiration to a great many people.
Thank you Judy, we all have stories God wants us to tell. xoxo
Amen! She’s gifted I believe ,more than she knows
So agree…..A beautiful testament. 🙏🏻💖🙏🏻💖🙏🏻💖🙏🏻💖🙏🏻
This is Grandma from Texas. Thank you Debi. I’ve been watching you and loving you before you painted the couch😘 Thank you for everything you do. Thank you for this today has touched my heart and filled me with hope
xoxo thank you Grandma from Texas! God is our hope, may he fill you with it!
As always.. you do beautiful work. I wish I had the room to repaint some of my furniture. Yes.. your story encouraged me. I am going through a battle with cancer and I really needed to hear something positive today. Knowing that no matter what is going on in the world, God cares what happens to me and will keep me safe. Thank You.
🙏 ➕ 💝✨✨✨✨✨
Debi, you are a beautiful soul and I love you. You have been my light in the darkness during the lowest moment of my life. I turned to youtube for a video on painting a piece of furniture, I found your video....Little did I know that video would lead me back to me. It also lead me to Dionne, Jami, Melanie, Lindsay and so many others, they all inspired me, challenged me and gave me direction. This video is so special because sometimes we forget that everyone struggles, everyone has doubts about themselves. Life isn't always easy and everyone has challenges, this video shows that, yet you made it through. You turned ugly into something beautiful. The key to life is keep the faith, listen to your little voice inside and keep moving forward. We never know who we touch with our actions, we never know who we are a light for, so we have to just believe in the goodness of the world and the people we are blessed to cross paths with.... Some day I will get to meet you in person, and I will hug you so tight, because my heart needs to thank you!
thank you for sharing, everyone struggles, BUT God. Praying you are encouraged today and hope to meet you too!
Beautifully spoken 🥰
It’s always a good day when Debi releases a video! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful story. I hope that you will feel great inspiration when you create with your new art box.
One of the most beautiful and poignant videos I've seen in a very long time. May God bless you, Debi and your business for a lifetime. ❤
I am encouraged to hear your story! You inspired me a few years ago to start selling the things I make and I sell some, but over the last few months I have been so discouraged with the sales for the things I make and growth of the TH-cam channel I started to show other people how to do the same.
I, of course, am not happy you were struggling but it is nice to know I wasn't alone.
Thanks so much for the work you do and the vulnerability you shared here.
Keep going. Keep doing the things you love. Keep making the old new. Keep listening to God's voice. He will get us through.
Debbie, you are a PRECIOUS PERSON!!! You inspire me in ways that you have no idea. I’m so thankful that you know God, and aren’t afraid to talk about your relationship with him!!! 🙏🙏🙏💕
I love these old school videos where you do a piece of furniture while telling a story. It looks beautiful , love especially how you painted the mirror.
The world is hard right now and everybody has anxiety . Anxiety is very high. Just keep praying and have faith. Love you.
Oh My Debi!! I can't stop the tears right now! And I had just put my makeup on girl!! Thanks so much! Keep listening to God, He truly is all the encouragement we have to continue on some days!! We have been expanding our business and I know some days I just wanna cry...BUT GOD!!!
I love you and encourage you today!! \o/
BUT GOD, is right Sue! xoxo keep going my friend :)
I’ve been watching your videos for years & you always give me inspiration for my projects, but most of all, you’ve taught me that it’s ok to just “DO IT” , quit procrastinating and being afraid to make mistakes. I absolutely love your DIY paint & have been using it on EVERYTHING! Thank you so much for your videos & stories. Keep up the good work!💕
Beautiful vanity Debi! You have such a gift not only in your painting but in how you spread and share God's love! Can you fathom how many lives this platform allows you to touch...I am so touched I have tears. This message I have needed so badly. Thank you for being such a God given encourager! This vanity takes my breath away!!!
so glad it encouraged you Tuscansummer :) Using what God gives us to encourage each other is the very best way to live :)
By the Coast "I'll Get You Home" so beautiful!
This turned out beautiful Debbie ! An the song is beautiful too . God truly does care about every thing we go through.
I think I watched this about 10 times... I cry every time, hearing the emotional testimony is really encouraging. I Iove this dressing table... you painted soul into it. I'v also since I watched this the first time, subscribed to Jamie an Zeb's channel, watching them return ftom England with their antiques, I think of my stock in storage, sitting there since lockdown. I have since had to move home, which was really hard for me. But as you say... We are all just walking in Faith at the moment. God bless 🦋🇿🇦
Debi you are such an encouragement. Thank you for perservering through all your struggles and you made it through even though you didn’t feel as though you wouldn’t make your deadline. But God… with Him!. Hallelujah! To God be ALL the glory!
Ohhh your stories are so encouraging, I felt myself tearing up with JOY. I love those God movements and find myself trying to listen to His promptings more and more. Thank you for the reminder. I got a chance to go to the Monet Museum in Paris two years ago as well! It was magical! Thanks for sharing!
Watching the replay ❤ I was filling up my tear bottle again.
You have lovingly brought all the beauty of God's color back into my life again ❤
Thank you for listening to God's voice. Hugs! God will bless you and your endeavors 😌
That’s why so many self employed business hire people to run them. It’s way more work than anyone can imagine, especially for those of us who like to micromanage. Your real love is to create, I’m praying God will direct you in this huge endeavor to find the resources you need and find time for Debi!! Love you girl.
love you too Lecha, yes, I hope that will happen very soon. It's hard to find people who want a job right now and the resources to pay those who do. Please keep me in your prayers.
@@DebisDesignDiary always my precious friend.
Yes, encouraging, empowering, emboldening... I know our faith is tested the stronger it becomes. Thank you for your example of strong faith and inspiration Debi! And thank you for sharing this beautiful project. I so enjoy your furniture make overs!
Wow !! How beautiful.. I would have never thought to paint on a mirror and place the transfers like that on, you are a true inspirational artist . I love the blend the colors the entire piece . If your group ever plans a trip to France again I would love to go and see all those beautiful antiques and pieces . You are one entertaining teacher of your art , thank you
it's a fun and easy solution for a square or rectangular mirror :) Not sure if I'll ever be back in France, we went right before everything went haywire :)
@@DebisDesignDiary what part of France was that ? I would go there to explore those beautiful antiques myself . 😊
@@andreatrepasburgess7551 Most of the video is at Giverney…Monet’s Garden and then the Double decker bus tour looks like Paris but could also be Rouen which is very near Giverney. Debi will need to answer that for you. They both do bus tours like that. I have been lucky enough to go twice. Can’t wait to go back again.
I love this! Another beautiful project inspiring me to do more. Thank you Debi 😘🌹🌺🌹
@@robinspaperstudio if your group ever goes again I would love to go !! All those antique houses it was so amazing 😊
You've been an inspiration for me...I've had many many health set backs and have been trying to paint and decopauge as much as I can..it's relaxing and it heals my body and mind..my only big problem is space and I can't stand very long...but when I watch your videos it makes me happy..and gives me inspiration..I have tried several times to get to your shop...I hope to get there soon..I'm not too far..so I will get there ..I need color..I need products..I need fun!!!! Hope to see you all soon..but keep thinking good thoughts ok...your great, and do many levels be what you do...so don't ever doubt it..
I ABSOLUTELY
LOVE YOUR SHOP!!
OF COURSE,
ZEB AND JAMI
MAKE IT SPECIAL TOO!!
The vanity turned out fabulous! I bet that your sister wants it back now!
Thank you for sharing all of your stories. The vanity turned out gorgeous.
So glad you got the encouragement you needed and then passed it on to us! Just what I needed today. 🌸🌼🌻
so glad Janice! xo
Debi... Girrrlll I soooooo NEEDED to hear this today 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Thank you so much for sharing ❤️❤️❤️❤️ You were the first person that inspired me to want to paint. I absolutely LOVE everything you do & who you are. I’ve been trying to save to make it to your store & one of your classes but everytime I think it might work... Life Happens. I’ve been trying to go since your 1st store. .. it’s been years of watching your videos, loving your work & hoping to one day to start Learning to create/paint beautiful gorgeous works of art... You’ve inspired me so much. I want you to know that even though I’m only 1 person you don’t know & as hard as it might be ... I Believe in You!! 💖Thank you for being such a humble, inspiring amazing woman! 💖🙏🏻💞🙏🏻💝
What a touching, vulnerable moment with you. I know what it’s like to bear the weight of a business on your shoulders. It isn’t always easy, especially when you’re tired. We need those messages to guide and show us we’re on the right path.
This piece looks amazing! But the story just precious!
I ran a daycare center called I Think I Can Daycare. In a tiny town, popular 425. We once had 55 children enrolled at top enrollment. We sunk 7 years of our heart, blood, sweat & tears in it. Remodeling, painting, every sqaure inch. I painted the old brownie frownie kitchen cabinets, white & sponged a black trim on the raised frame. Then in large scale, the center I painted a stick man or a stick women in primary colors. With oil based painted. It dries like a very hard, scrubable surface. It's hard to paint with, kinda like painting with glue. But for cabinets & appliances. That need constant scrubbing. Especially in a daycare center its the best. You can scrub it with an abrasive scratcher & it will not budge. It's great 2 paint floors with as well.
We added on a huge room to the center. Fire Marshall said we couldn't use the upstairs unless we raised the ceiling. That meant since they where allready up as far as they could go. We had to have an architectural professional draw a plan to restructer the framing in the roof. And all of that inspected at different phases. We also made all entrances handi cap excessable! We sunk every penny we had into the Daycare. I even took some college courses at the age of 48 to be my own director. My former skill I owned & operated a beauty salon out of my home. Separate room of course, state guide lines on that had to be closed off from the home.
But at the end of the 7 year saga year 2008, economy took a major hit in our area. Hubby lost his job. He had been supporting us in the lean time. Then he got into a bad dirt bike wreak & broke the neck of his hip. He couldn't even walk for a year. So no work for him. We also had been running a photographery, on weekends, Studio out of an old church my dad had next to our home a few blocks from our daycare center. I Think I Can I called it. We put the center up for sale & I took a job at a small cassino near our town. The center didn't sale & for a couple of years I just barely made the interest payments. Hubby finally got well enough to walk. He took the same training as I had & learned to be a card dealer as well. He was still on crutches when he took the training & still on a cane when he became a card dealer & went out on the floor. He did that until his hip with pens still in it. At this point I suppose they will always be there. But he was able to go back to his balls to the walls welding job. Eventully the medical bills just keep running so high & during the recuperation period. We had no choice to file bankruptcy. It broke my heart when we had to close the center. 7 years & each & every child that came there & Hundreds went through those doors in the seven years, coming & going. But alot of them stayed & there firsts where celebrated within those doors. We didn't Separate the children in Separate rooms.. Except for the babies, they had a complete Separate room. And at nap time all the cots & blankets. Where land downstairs & in summer mths. When school was out. The older kids & I went upstairs. Of couse I had employees, great employees. But it had took as long of a time to build a great employee team as to remodle & build on to the center.
When we where forced to file bankruptcy. The bank had tired our 30 years we spent in our home. We did extensive remodeling & built a room on to it as well. With a basement under that potion. We had tried everything we could to not close the daycare & forfeit our home. But nothing worked the bank gave us 45 days to get our belongings out. After 30 years at that home. Where we raised our 2 grown children & grandchildren learned to play. The bank even made us buy are piece of junk cars back. I truly know how hard it is to run a business & keep it going. The daycare paperwork was my weakest skill. For awhile I keep the Beauty Shop open I'm my home & hired a director. They have to have some college credit hrs. Why I went to college at 48. We also ran the photographery Studio on weekends while juggling it all, mostly weddings. Was the majority of our business on that. But seniors, families, glamor shots, new babies, children, engagements, anniversary parties, animals, graduation & sports. We even took old time photos. As time went on & the daycare became time consuming. We had cut back on that.
At the end when we left our home town. It was horrible fir reasons I will never understand. The town committees gave us a hard time. About 2 horse's we temporarily with a temporary electric fence we had put on the lot next to our center. We had a separate lot besides the building. With hubbies broke hip. The grass was growing out of hand & I was trying to get the contents ready for all the items inside. Which was a major job. I spent more on the kids things than I ever made
But the lady next door to the center had complaint after complaint. When she first moved there she called & wanted her boys to just come over in bad weather & wait with our kids for the bus. Just free, I told her no. All kids have to be enrolled her & paperwork to back that. State looks at the files everytime they randomly show up. She was always coming up with some complaint after that. And the town hand delieved us a letter on a no horse ordinance as we where packing our things to get out of town. Hubby had also worked as a mechanic in the garage in town, for 20 years. Before he went to the big city & started a new career as a welder working his way up to a supervisor.
We finally made it 2 10 acres of the family farm of 40 years. And Hubby & I have worked hard trying to temodle mobile homes. 1 single wide we are living in. And 1 single wide & 1/2 of a double wide he put togather & added a new roof over both. Have gutted them & remodling them from top to bottom. We are 65 now, his back is shot. I had a boutched surgery in 2008 as well as all the other bad luck. And it had cause health problems ever since. Drs. aren't any help. This was caused by Dr. error nobody can fix that. GI drs. Absolutely are of no help or no hope.
But I seriously do know how hard a small business is to run. The ppl. We employee become family. And when it fails you feel you just failed your family. In my case they where my family. Though these last horrible 12 years we left our home town, in 2010. And my family ran a Trucking business next door, my sister had took over everything in my Dad's life & treated us awful. When Dad passed it became even worse. But that's how it goes I suppose. My dad was the greatest man that ever lived & his faith & dedication to God can compare to no one else I know. Supposedly sister attends church & is a fine Christian woman. But it is all in perspective of who you are & what she can use you to do. I just have a super hard time figuring that one out. Except that I have seen through her for years & known what is inside of her & it ain't pretty!
I seriously hope you have grand luck with this. But maybe you could just sell the whole kittencobootel! Before it exustes you & enjoy your life a little!
We have goats on our 10 acres out in the middle of nowhere & its so peaceful. I called it Rebel Island fir awhile after we got voted off the island of Ewing! (Our former Home Town)
I now call it Old Glory Land. Tribute to the farm being the family farm for 40 years. The 10 acres we bought didn't even have an entrance before we came here. The drove there tractors in through a ditch & by the creek, to get to the farm ground. Oh y, Hubby farmed for years on the side of all his other jobs & he worked on the Burlington Northern RR as well. He's an amazing man. We have been married 42 years. The farm we live on now. Is where we wanted to build a home & start are life. 30 years & around Robin Hoods barn to get here. I always say we have been through hell & back many times togather & still togather.
All the mobile homes here, our daughter & her family live here as well. He has this super old M tractor. He welded & put hydraulic system on it & a truck blade. He welded to giant steel forks that hook over the truck blade. It by all rights in anyone else's hands would be sent to green pasture. But his remarkable mechanic skills he hss keep it alive. I asked him one day what is that thing that sticks out in the front on the left side. He says that's where they used to crank it to start. Wow huh. Bit the old M tractor is what & how he moved most of the mobile homes & building here. He hooked the forms on the truck blade. Then he put serval cement blocks & 2 100 lb tractor weights. Then he bungee straped them down to the tractor weights. Because the old M has a narrow front end. They are natouis for rolling over. This balances it & without the weight the front end wouldn't stay on the ground. Not good for moving a mobile home serval miles up the main highways. Mobile homes are super old. And all have or in the process stages of remodeling. The big back tires have chains on them. I call it the 4 wheel drive of this old tractor. It is quite the site moving a mobile home up the highway with that tractor. The mobile home there self. You have to put the axels & shackles on them jacking them up simultaneously on each side. While keeping them even & getting all that on & the tires. Taking put all the cement blocks they have been leveled with. Old school way. Some RR ties & even RR bridge ties. They weigh a ton. And you have to use RR tie tongs to move them, very slowly. Then when you get them to where you are setting them down at there new home. The process starts all over in the opposite way.
Life is an adventure here on Old Glory Land & we are mutelling through! ❤ No business now, but still plenty of business to do! Lol
goodness Violet, life is a crazy obstacle course. Praying that God gives you joy in the midst of all the hard things! xoxo
I enjoyed reading your story! Thank you so much for taking the time to write it out. We can always learn from each other's successes and failures, good times and bad times. Thanks again.
@@DebisDesignDiary , we are really trying. It's just going slow at our age. Remodeling I mean. Everything else is moving to fast.
We also ran a ceramic shop out if the old church next door to our home for awhile. One of my sisters & I. I have 3. But 2 aren't very nice at all. I don't know what is wrong with them. Greed & power I think.
@@soccermom1245 thanks if you where talking to me. I tryed to edit the mistakes in spelling & it says invalid argument. WHAT? I am correcting spelling. You can't tell me I can't argue with myself! Lol
@@DebisDesignDiary ❤
I've been to California once 26 years ago. It was beautiful. If I ever go again, I will stop by and introduce myself.
I hope so!
@@DebisDesignDiary and buy some Debbie Paint. I can't find any local retailers and I closed my Hippy Gypsy business years ago.
Oh my Dear Debi, this is your Ministry. You are a Spiritual Entrepreneur. Someone I love dearly posted a story describing what a Spiritual Entrepreneur is. You my friend are just that.Your stories are your testimony of encouragement and dedication. I just love you Debi you are a gift to all if us that follow you. God Bless You.❤🙏
Absolutely loved both the vanity and confirmation that we serve a God hearing and a God answering God! Blessed and safe days!
Hi Debbie - Your painting is so amazing, organic and moving. I love your stories because they can be everyone's story and that's why you are so connecting. And thankU for sharing with us.
Dear Debbie,Thank You for listening to God and touching people with your faith and your God given talent. This reminded me that God is in all things good and that He is with me when I’m not sure about tomorrow but He is with me so I can face it together with Him 💕
You're creativity and talents are just amazing, Debi!!! You truly ARE an artist. I adore you.
Love listening to your stories and watching your creations turn to masterpieces. God Bless you always.
Shalom Sister Debi!
I just found you on YT, and have been bingeing today.
You make me want to be brave and try painting myself.
I especially like the addition of flowers and birds with the moulds.
And I wish I could catch some of your song playlist, I like alot of them as well.
May the Good Lord bless and keep you.
May HE shine His Lovely Face upon you and may HE bless the work of your hands.
I'm sure HE enjoys your creations as much as we do, considering HE invented COLOR!
I must have needed a good cry today because as soon as that song started I was a gonner. Debi, your story telling a real gift.
Hey Debi. . i am not on facebook but am starting to piece together snippets that indicate that you are feeling down and discouraged with this bigger store. You opened this store because it has always been your dream. A place to display and sell your craft, to teach others, to spread color and grace across the world. Once again, this current project shows off your amazing skills. You were meant to do this! You are an artist, an influencer and a kind person. Alot of people are behind you and support your vision and dreams. It might be time to let go of the little blue cottage in order to consolidate your expenses. Maybe showcase a piece of furniture each month on your website or facebook. Create a special elevated spot in the store that allows that piece to shine. i love what you've done with the backspace and am pulling for you that all this works out and that once again, your heart can feel lighter and encouraged.
Oh Debi, I love how you look at these old pieces, imagine something beautiful for them, and transform them into something quite wonderful. Reading these comments, you really do touch a lot of people's hearts. That too is a wonderful gift. Wishing you peace and love💕💕
Hi Debbi, you waited so many years for this store. Just hang on for a while. There will be ups and downs but at the end you'll be a very happy lady of that I am sure and a lot stronger. 🥰🥰
while no one likes the stress or feel overwhelmed by your own passions, it is comforting to know others are going through the same feelings and challenges. One of my “go to” phrases is “Watch the signs” I look to them for encouragement and the love to keep on keeping on. Love ya Debi! big kisses
So encouraging!! Thanks Debi. I know it can be hard but I hope you continue to push forward everything you do is inspiring!!!
Debi, The vanity is gorgeous! Not only are you an incredible artist, but you are an incredible story teller! I love your videos and your faith!
Tammy, thank you! xo
That piece is stunning, I ♥️ it. Thank you for sharing your story. I'm feeling very low today, you reminded me I'm not alone. God is with me at all times, I can do this with His help. Xx
you are not alone! May God encourage you! xoxox
@@DebisDesignDiary Thank you Debi xx
Hi Debbie! Just recently in the last week I discovered your TH-cam videos. I have been obsessed! This particular one really got to me. I am so inspired by your life your work. I’ve been a artist want to be my whole life. And I’ve had a little success in what I have been able to do but never have I accomplished what in my mind was what I wanted to do. Your video reminded me of my mother. She was such an artist. She would have loved your store, your home, your work. We did so many things together and I learned a lot from her. Thank you for your videos for hanging in there and doing what you do. I really wish you would come to my area(Evansville Indiana)to do some workshops. also I’m blessed to learn of Dione through your videos. You are such an inspiration to me🌸
Everything we do, big or small, is a testament to God. The gift of words of encouragement is not my strong point so I have to show it through my actions and my own trials. You remind me so much of myself! I’m desirous of much, not courageous going in! He brings me through always though and I’ve learned courage little by little😊
I love your stories your art is beautiful and that’s why I watch you but the stories make it even more fun to watch what your doing . Beautiful job on the vanity
Oh Debi...your video gave me chills. God is ever faithful and loves us more than we can understand, thanks for the reminder!
I love how your mind works Debi 💖🌈....Great design work with this one! 👏
A nice return to your authentic story telling video Debi, I've missed this so much! Love you, Michelle xx
Thank you Debi for always being an encourager. This is Priscilla from Edmore Michigan. I am the store manager at ART IN THE BAG a beautiful old Bag Factory. We opened a gallery gift shop On September 11 around a year and a half ago. It was very close to the same day you opened your new shop. I started watching you a few months before the situation began and then your daily live broadcasts with Danielle kept me going through the lock down. My goal was to sell your p
Paint. When we as an Art Council opened the store I put in my order. I have big ideas and the others in my group are artist and full of ideas
Priscilla, your store sounds super fun!!!! Wishing you much success . We would love to have you as a retailer if the territory is open, here is the link with more info diypaint.co/pages/become-a-diy-paint
As well. Problem is I was the only person available to run the shop. I was diligent and faithful to go in everyday to man the ship. We all lack a certain ability to market and we are off the beaten path. After a few months I started to grow weary of being there mostly alone with only a small amount of customers. I stuck with it and kept it all going until after Christmas last year. Because we could keep our doors open during the situation we did fair. However, when things started to open up and people had other options our business dropped off. We now are searching for the way to carry on. We are planning to turn the space into a maker's space but am still feeling the struggle as there is not enough people or money to really make this work. All this to say your story has encouraged me from your video. I have many stories of my own just like this. I especially related to what you said. How can God take the time to reach out to us when there is that war going on? Bec
Because time isn't a factor maybe...idk. There are a lot of questions about the why and how of God that we just don't understand. But he never stops giving these precious miracles that keep us going. Idk where this all is going but Thanks Debi. I appreciate you.
Running a shop is hard, you just don’t know how hard until you actually try 💕 praying for you💕💕💕
Debi I love your videos. The first one I saw was of you painting your sofa. Your journey through your stores and your honesty have made me laugh and sympathize. Your out look on life and art are so comforting. You just keep praying and going. I’ve enjoyed your determination to capture the art of the blending technique,and you’ve done an amazing job? If that’s the right word? I haven’t accomplished that yet I’m a semi new painter. But I’m gonna give it a go. Also your choice in music is soothing.
AMEN! Debi, I love that you share your walk with the Lord...it's AMAZING, AWESOME, truly precious that He cares about the littlest thing. You should be ( at times it's overwhelming, with everything going on in this world, right?!?) encouraged, I was with that wonderful story. He is there for you Debi, never forget that...even if you were the only person on earth, He would of died just for you!!! Keep looking up sweetie!!!❤️❤️❤️
This story takes my breath away... every single time.🦋🇿🇦
Love the video and story. I much needed it today, to remember God cares about us all. Dresser is gorgeous!
I don’t even know what to say. Thank you for sharing your gift of art and this story! Enjoy that art box!!🙏🏼
My friend, my friend, my friend I really enjoy the way you tell your stories. :)) It definitely is another way you create. I've been listening on and off for the last few years, some of the videos are older and others more current, either way, it's magical to witness your creativity. THANK YOU FOR SHARING with us, The Others. Jan
Cute results on the dresser. A wide inexpensive 2$ chippy paint brush works just as well as your VIP brush...I use mine all the time with the same effect and wash and reuse it....🌺
Brushes are like jeans, different fit for everyone My VIP brush is my favorite ♥️super soft bristles.
Hi Debi - thank you for sharing your journey with us, I hope you have found the time to open and explore the magic that's undoubtedly been packaged inside that art box for you! Your story triggered a memory for me and with that memory came some song lyrics that flooded back into my mind like tsunami. "You can dance in a Hurricane...But only if your standing in the eye" -Brandi Carlile. Good luck managing the shop, I've not been there but it sure does look beautiful and inviting from over here in NJ! Your intention to build a community of creatives and the like definitely comes through.
Lovely message Debi and the vanity turned out to be gorgeous! I love it. Wish California and Louisiana weren't so far apart-would love to visit your shop weekly! It's so awesome and cheerful.
Beautiful story Debi, thank you for speaking truth and creating beauty in this world! We need more of both! God bless you and your new venture. You are an encouragement to so many others!

As gifted and talented you are its hard to believe you have anxiety. You inspire me Debi, thanks!
I've recently started watching your channel. I've been binging it. 🤍 As a fellow artist and creative (born in So Cal) I absolutely love your stories and testimonials. And as a fellow sister in Christ, I applaud your bold declarations for our Lord Jesus and how he works in our everyday life. Beautiful witness. 🙏🙌🤍
I have missed your stories and painting adventures so thank you for this one! It is just gorgeous! Trust the process for your store, and when you hear the thrift store calling you HAVE to go in and see what it is holding for you. I have done and it turns out pretty much every time.
This is exactly why I started following your videos so many years ago 💓💓💓💓
Your art box and what is happening to Ukraine has tears streaming down my face.
Yes, He hears us all.
Thank you for such personal insight in your walk with God. And God bless Ukraine and its people.
Thank you. The tears are cathartic.
Debi, you are a treasure and you have made life long friends because of your business. I loved the story about the artist box. God speaks we just have to listen.
Stunning. You have Amazing vision for your pieces !! I have an Art box identical to yours, my husband found it at a garage sale.
Hello, my name is Donia. I have been watching you for months and love your work. I had to laugh when you said how people would call the furniture that you painted children's furniture. I have been painting furniture for years and decided to try whimsy one day. I painted my bedroom furniture multicolored. My cousin saw it on Facebook and asks it was for my grandchild. lol, I said no it's for me. So then I found you. I want to learn how to blend. But I also want to join you. I love beauty. xoxoxo Thank God for finding you.
What a transformation! Amazing. It was sooooo ugly before you did your magic. Debi, be brave & trust because things will work out. You aren’t alone and angels will pop up when you need them. 👼😇
I love watching your videos, this one turned out gorgeous! All of your projects do! Thank you for sharing your testimony and your walk with God truly inspirational
Thank you for the extra special inspirational video. I really needed it right now. As usual, your project was so beautiful!!!
You’re such an inspiration and you always have the best music for your videos …
Debi, this is SO beautiful! The vanity is stunning, the story is inspirational and your heartfelt expressions brought me to the sweetest tears. Thank you for being exactly who you are, and for doing exactly what you do. Truly, thank you. ❤
You’re still the video queen. Love you Debi! 😉☮️❤️
I love your story and video and I’ve gotta tell you I teared up in the end. You are so talented and funny and artistic and honest and I love your transparency. Keep going! We’ve all got your back!
Debi- Love you and love your story! I watched through this video and saw so many deep stories within......... . I felt your depth and of love, fear and strength. You do touch a lot of people! Thank you!
The piece came out freaking fantastic in love with the bright happy colors.. But you need to stop making me cry.. The story and song is powerful I do try my hardest to hear him when he talks it’s hard to drown out the white noise and self doubt.. You are encouraging me to listen harder.. Xoxo ❤️
That is so beautiful 🤩 You have inspired me to start painting again. I had lost my passion and drive but cannot wait for the weekend to start again. ❤️
What a great encouragement you just gave me. You were my message from God today. Bless you
What a beautiful transformation! And what a beautiful, encouraging story!❤
Debi...our styles are very different BUT you my dear as so inspiring in so many ways, THANK YOU for sharing yourself with the world! Your walk with God is inspiring everyone driven to your channel and one day you will be told "WELL DONE GOOD and FAITHFUL SERVANT".
You're a blessing.

God Bless you Debi. Thank you for opening your heart and sharing your inspirational story with us. God does give us signs of His love for us.
Debi, you are an inspiration to so many. Please continue to share your heart & your love for others. It's a beautiful story and a testament to what God is doing in you ✨
Good morning Debi. I was listening to your testimony and I knew God lead you there. Keep telling your testimony and stories. I'm blessed by them. Awesome 🌹📿💃
What a beautiful, awe-inspiring soul you are, and probably the most beautiful girl I have seen in a long time, I think it's the way you shine, the relevance of your content and the story... I commend you for embarking on this Journey, God gave you 2 beautiful gifts: 1) Your talent...2) Hé believes in yóu... So you step outin faith, because instead of falling, what if you flew...? Dream Big, God bless🦋💜

What a powerful testimony. TFS- of course your artistry is amazing.
Debi, the song was powerful. Touched my heart in a.pwerful way. The. Vanity with the mirror is stunning. The art box was a sign that you are going in the right direction. Keep that art box for yourself. That was a sign.
Even though you did not want this vanity, it turned out beautiful. I want to try some of your pink paints on an outdoor set I have. it's metal. I saw in a magazine where someone painted a small table and chair set like mine, with pink and it was so adorable. I know because it's outside that I will have to seal it. But after seeing your vanity, I have to do this set in shades of pink. Just love it! Sometimes when we do things, like you starting a new store , it can be overwhelming. I just pray the Lord helps you to overcome your worries, because we're not given a spirit of fear. I think everything will work out for you. I'm just glad to see you making videos again. I really missed your beautiful little face. You've done so much to inspire the rest of us, don't stop now. Fyi... My husband who was a professional painter for 30 years, says you can paint literally anything. I guess you painting that mirror proves him right. I'm not going to tell him he's right. His head is already too big!
Denise, Thank you! it's part of the reason I'm so regretful, as it's hard to find time for videos. I have four in my camera that need to be edited. Please Pray God gives me time and help to do both :) Making videos is something I miss so much!
That's beautiful, how bold and cheerful, just love it.
I so want to get out to CA to visit your store! And see you in it! These are crazy times my friend and all we have at the end of the day is God! It is up to us to trust and believe in His love. Thank you for making me smile. 😇
