Hi everybody! For everyone asking how surgery went, I thought I would pin a comment here. Typing is hard one handed! The surgery itself went smoothly, but ended up being more extensive than planned. They had said it would go one of two way, With a cleanup needed, but no reattachment of the tendons, and four weeks in the immobilization device, or, reattaching the tendons to the bone and eight weeks in the immobilization device. They ended up reattaching the tendons to the bone, so the longer recovery, but they also realized while they were in there that they needed to grind down the bones in that area to make space for the tendons, so.... I'm not sure what that means for the recovery time. I have a fancy robot chair I have to sit in for three hours a day that slowly moves my arm, to avoid it all healing together in one mass and freezing up. It's definitely not fun right now, but I will get through it. A huge thank you to everyone sending me good wishes, healing thoughts, or prayers! It means so much to me!🧡
❤ Prayers to you Amy, for a quick recovery!!! You worked so hard to produce so much content for your down time ..that is so amazing....you are such a wonderful and Incredibly kind person🥰
Amy, I hope your heal goes quickly and well. You will be relieved to have two arms again. In the meantime, I hope you can do gratitude exercises, journaling, or read a good book while strapped in your chair It'll go by faster than you think.
I am glad your surgery is done and you are on the other side of it now. My prayers and good thoughts are with you and may your recovery be swift! I really enjoy all you bring to your channel and appreciate your talents so much! Thanks for all you do!
Hello😊 I just wanted to tell you how I enjoy watching your channel I love art and art supplies too keep up the good work and don't let anyone get to you . I used to be very stressed out but it's so bad for your health and so you don't need to get upset . Focus on what makes you happy.
That's a tremendous amount of art supplies for a very reasonable price. It would definitely be a great purchase for anyone looking to start out on their art journey and wanting to try each of the most common wet mediums before deciding which one(s) they preferred. At the start of the video I couldn't help chuckling to myself when you had to keep stopping the video to go and get help to open what seemed like an endless sequence of boxes. I could almost hear your kids "Aww Mom. not again?". It was like those Russian dolls where you open one - only to find a smaller, identical one inside. And when you open that one, there's another doll inside that ... etc etc. Anyway, thanks for the video and also for the update on your post-surgery recovery. Undoubtedly it's hard-going for you at the moment but it seems as if everything is under control and all heading in the right direction. Take care, Brian.
I watched this video late last night and was jealous of all the painting materials you received in this shipment. Once I completed the video I went to the website and found it on sale and used your code for an additional 10% off. I am so excited to get mine…today fear set in…how am I going to explain this to my family lol. Now I have to beat them to the mail everyday until I receive it 😂. Thank you for the wonderful sharing of the products. ❤
Oh my God thank you for the recommendation on the outside art easel I love the easel thank you I finally brought my easel that I wanted so bad from a nice place thank you so much and all the stuff that came with it oh my gosh I am loaded with our extra art supplies thank you so much I will be using their art supplies more thank you very much I love the easel
Kids come in handy every now and then.😂 Great box of goodies! I don't have anything by Meeden. I need to check out their products. I love the bunny! Sending all the healing vibes. Go got this Amy.❤
Hi Amy. Thanks for the update on your surgery. Been sending out thoughts for a quick and successful recovery. WOW! What an amazing kit. I've never seen one like this. I'm sure if was super fun to discover everything they included. Nice to see you happy and excited about something. Continue to rest and take it easy... and follow dr.'s orders!😂😂
Loved the kit. It looks great for anyone at any stage an artist is at. Your painting is so stunning and realistic. I hope you are resting and recovering well.
Thank you it was so fun watching your excitement in opening these supplies, I would be the same way. Hope you are doing well, I think of you every day. ❤️
i just said a little prayer for your healing ,i have several meeden products ,i went big and bold and bought the 12 1 liter tubs of heavy body paints ,it did not come with purple or orange so i got another yellow and light purple,my ceramic 2 water basin is so nice,i got the watercolor set before i liked it and it came with the blue brushes and cotton paper ,be well Amy ,love you
Happy that your surgery went well. Speedy recovery! That Meeden kit is amazing. Love the bunny painting. I was so happy to run across your art video this Saturday morning. Relax and take it easy. ❤ Prayers to you. 🙏🎨
So glad you are recovering from your surgery! Meeden did a fabulous job with the new supply kit. So glad your sons were home to help you unbox the kits. Take care and ease back into work. Thinking about you and wishing you a speedy recovery! Much love from my mountain top in middle Tennessee, Fran
Best wishes for a speedy recovery I have watched several of your videos now and really appreciate your honesty in reference to the products you review I just bought the Meeden art package the less expensive set with your code and am grateful for that can’t wait to get mine 😀
Hullo Amy, this box is a pretty sweet deal! I have purchased a French Easel or Pochad box and I paid $149.99! So your Meeden box is priced just $10.00 more? You are getting all of those supplies in addition to just the easel! You have a lot of amazing supplies and I am looking forward to seeing you use them. Thank you for sharing this with us, I encourage you to take care of yourself and Please take your time getting back to regular work.
I really liked this video with a little bit of everything! Most of all I liked to hear that the surgery is over and you are on your road to recovery! I am sending warm thoughts your way.
I was glad to hear your surgery went well. I ended up having emergency surgery on my stomach 4 days after my nose surgery...if I never have a surgery again it will be too soon lol loved learning about the meden paints and brushes.
Wow, what an AMAZING haul. I would be so thrilled with that set, everything looks great! Your painting at the end was so cute too! Good luck with your surgery/healing. New sub here. ❤
Since I’m in Canada It’s cheaper for me to order from their Amazon page. I wish I would seen their watercolour kit a few months ago. It’s perfect for a beginner like me and can’t beat the price of $45 CA. Specially knowing the great quality.
I am curious if the colors are the same for each medium. For example, is the skin tone the same in oil as it is for the gouache or acrylic? Best of luck with a speedy recovery.
Hope your surgery went well ❤ I really want to get into gouache, have never tried it before. Do you think the meeden set would be a good starting point? 😊
Yes I do! I tend to mostly like round brushes in various sizes for watercolor but I use a lot more flats and bright, etc. for gouache. plus, sometimes I use acrylic gouache and I feel like it makes watercolor brushes less thirsty if that makes sense!
Glad you’re at home and on the mend. ❤️🩹 I ordered the kit because after the sale and your discount code it was about even for the items I wanted. Take care. - Kristin

I have the tabletop easel from my Great aunt Betty. Never learned to make it a standing one.
Great kit! I wish I were a better artist to justify purchasing this kit 😊
What a haul! And an amazing price for so many supplies! You are adorable, I love the excitement 💜
Praying for your recovery. Thanks for keeping us posted. Love your work.

What an amazing box! I've tried some of Meeden's products and really like them.
Heal quickly and well!
I love Meeden. ❤️
That easel looks very nice.
It’s very tempting just for the easel alone!

Hello sweet doggo!
Hope your surgery went well. Thanks for the demonstration.
I have a day off work and I can finally catch up with all your videos. They are happy that the surgery went well.
Thank you so much for this video. It is exactly what I needed. A speedy recovery. Thanks for pushing thru the pain to give us great content.😊
That’s an awesome box for that price!
This is an amazing price for all of these supplies

Sending you love from Oakland California, I hope you heal up soon ☺️🖤
I was glad to hear your surgery went well. I ended up having emergency surgery on my stomach 4 days after my nose surgery...if I never have a surgery again it will be too soon lol loved learning about the meden paints and brushes.
I have the same Easel. It is not Medan but it is the same style French Box Easel.
Wow, what an AMAZING haul. I would be so thrilled with that set, everything looks great! Your painting at the end was so cute too! Good luck with your surgery/healing. New sub here. ❤
Wishing you a speedy recovery! Love watching your Art Hauls! Would I be able to get the box you got delivered to the UK? XXX
Since I’m in Canada It’s cheaper for me to order from their Amazon page. I wish I would seen their watercolour kit a few months ago. It’s perfect for a beginner like me and can’t beat the price of $45 CA. Specially knowing the great quality.
I have a couple of meeden palettes, and I am deciding whether to buy one of their easels😊
❤❤❤❤🙏
I love your shelf for your acrylic paints! Where did you get it?❤
I hope you are doing well Amy, I've been thinking about you.
I am curious if the colors are the same for each medium. For example, is the skin tone the same in oil as it is for the gouache or acrylic? Best of luck with a speedy recovery.
Hope your surgery went well ❤ I really want to get into gouache, have never tried it before. Do you think the meeden set would be a good starting point? 😊
If you have something that is too hard to get out of a box, try cutting the box open at all the corners so that it folds down. Saves hurting yourself.
hows that shulder??
Do you use separate brushes for your gouache and watercolour paints?
Yes I do! I tend to mostly like round brushes in various sizes for watercolor but I use a lot more flats and bright, etc. for gouache. plus, sometimes I use acrylic gouache and I feel like it makes watercolor brushes less thirsty if that makes sense!
