Vianney, you bring us so much joy with all your posts. Don’t ever feel bad about needing some mental health time off. You don’t really sound quite like yourself yet and that’s so understandable. Know that you’re not alone in this and as always I want to thank you for all you do and I hope you know you’re appreciated by so many of us. ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me. I know when I don't sound "right" or normal, so I kept quiet the last couple of days. I am getting there. I could even tell in my voice when I began my composting video and the end of the same video (it took a couple of days to make). Not good. LOL!! You know I can't fake it, so I just wanted to go ahead and make videos and also shed a little light as to why I may not be quite myself right now. I appreciate it, Rhonda. 💖
Thank you for sharing and for the preview! I hope you are feeling a little better or at least less stressed. My mother used to remind me that there are times when we just need to do something “for the soul”. So last night I jumped ahead and opened the first few windows on my Anna Griffin advent calendar and played with Christmas tags. This weekend I’m going to enjoy Create 10. I hope you are finding something that is feeding your soul so the self healing can begin. Peace and Hope and Kindness
Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words, Mary. Your mother's words will help me today. Let's enjoy Create, and keep mindful. I will try, I hope you enjoy it, too!
I'm so sorry you didn't feel well. You are allowed time, please. You are allowed time!! Do what you need to do for you and yours. I don't post much but love watching!! You inspire me with all the (OMG, OMG!!!) things you do. I'm a happy 61 year old and truly with all you do and have going on all at once. You make me want to do it all!! Thank you!!
Hi Vianney. I know how you feel. It was my birthday, and I couldn't motivate myself to do anything. Took me a few days to stop raging. Lol.😄 But, your videos and that lovely Tonic cardstock make everything brighter! Wishing you the best! We got this! 💕
Nice haul. Have fun with your goodies! "I'm talking about juicing vegetables not like steroids" I laughed out loud at that one! I knew what you meant but I still love the comedic moment! Until the next one.
Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate it, Anne! Honestly, going through these items and making one short video today really helped me out. You all are the best! 💕
Its been a tough few days with more to come. You've always made this space a fun, crafty space where we can come in part to have an escape from all that is going on in our lives and world. But it should never be at the expense of you not getting an escape too!! Take care 💙 (and drool over that beautiful Anna Griffin advent calendar packaging 🤤😀)
Hi Vianney 👋 sounds like you're feeling better, I hope so anyway. That AG paper anthology is gorgeous. I was going to order it. Then rooting thru my AG paper to sub out for Create, I found 2 pads and 1 pack of the same AG paper without the foil. So I behaved. The Tag calendar is so fun! I opened the entire thing and only have 2 days to finish. Yes I've been making tags instead of prep work for Create 😂
TYSM, Lori! I think if I crafted without talking (like when filming)...I would have jumped right in. My voice was not sounding great, and I knew it wouldn't be my regular self on video. I probably should have crocheted something! LOL!!
Hi Vianney. I did not know Anna had an Advent Calendar. I need to see what is in there. Yay. Oh, I bought a juicer earlier this year and did not use it much. I need to figure out how to use it more. I would love to hear what you juice each morning. I do make myself a protein smoothie every morning.
Sorry you weren’t feeling well. Sometimes change of seasons and the time change on top of that messes with us. Glad you feel better 🌻 nice haul! I started wearing beanies after chemo took all of my hair!! lol 😂
Hello Vianney, Sending hugs your way🤗🤗🤗, I loved your craft haul, and Anna’s papers are beautiful. . I will be enjoying Create 10 this weekend, and I hope you will too.❤️🤗
Thanks so much! Yay, I am looking forward to chatting during Create. I need it! I have prepared nothing and have to get the kids off to school when the first class is going. So...will try to jump on for the morning hellos and then be in for the 2nd class. See you then!
@@VianneyCreates I’m not sure if I will be able to chat. I got a email stating that iPads and phones will not work. Along with you I have not prepared either, but it will still be fun watching and then doing the projects later. You take care ❤️🤗
I’m the same with hats. I look awful. Beanies, knitted, baseball hats, visors. I look awful in all of them. But, I had a small skin cancer removed from my forehead, so I bought a flowery SU hat. It’s acceptable if it stays on my head . Then I was in Portugal without my hat, and bought one from a guy set up near the cruise ships. It’s not bad,so it came home in my suitcase.
TY!! I am nothing if not transparent with you all, and if I'm not feeling it...I'm not feeling it. LOL!! Thankfully feeling better and just focusing on my kids and my fun...I mean work. (:
TYSM, Anastasia! It's amazing how much knowing in your head "You're the mom...hold it together" really helps you do just that. I am more aware the older I get how to manage any somatic issues that pop up as to not spiral out into more issues. You know what I mean? Thanks, again!
I’m going to go watch your composter video. I freeze my waste, and periodically take it to my sister’s. She’s an hour away, and sort of in the country. Much bigger yard than I have. I’m curious though: the compost doesn’t attract animals? We have tons of squirrels, chipmunks, etc. I just don’t want them eating through my tulips and mums if I put compost out there.
Hi. I can relate. I took a break from everything the past two days. I'm looking forward to seeing what's in the advent calendar. If you don't mind, what kind of blender/juicer do you use? My old blender has about had it. I made "nice" cream for my daughter, and it sounded awful.
TYSM, Paula! That's pretty much what I did...nothing. LOL! I knew my heart wasn't in it, and I didn't want to alarm folks about my well being. I am doing better today and sound much better...it's the voice that gives it all away! (: So, my juicer is this one...it's not a blender: th-cam.com/video/pvummqXcjP8/w-d-xo.html I use it twice a day and she is doing great! Feel better, thanks for the kind words!
I opened the Anna tags advent calendar and I’m I desperate need of ideas for the tags! Please open it!! The kids and hubby have been bitten by the flu bug, everyone is home. Take care and get some rest! Sending healthy vibes!!
You deserve a day off, or two or three, whenever you want. Posting everyday is a lot of work, especially when some of us don't even go on TH-cam everyday. I do love when I see that you posted.
I was about to say I'm glad you're feeling better, but after seeing the comments, I finally got it! I feel your pain! But on another note, those paper pads, both Anna's and the harvest ones, are beautiful. Happy crafting!
TYSM!!! I just know I can't fake happy or normal, even. I had to give a little insight into what's going on for me. The papers are so pretty. Thanks for commenting and encouraging me!
I was at work Wednesday and several people commented on how quiet I was and asked if I wasn’t feeling well. I said I was having a hard day. Things like your videos help me smile. They are appreciated.
I know the feeling as you heard here, and I'm glad my videos bring a smile to your face! It's one of the reasons I decided to get going, maybe other folks were feeling like I was and would like some distraction...crafty distraction! I hope you're feeling better today and thank you for your kind comment. (:
I get the feeling from what you didn't say recent events hit you just as hard. I'm still reeling and still trying to recover. I hope you feel better soon.
TYSM, Marie! I am definitely putting my brave face on, and trying to manage somatic symptoms. Last time around, I don't think I was making videos during that time so no one knows I was in a bad way for at least 3 months and managing ulcers for about 6 months. Not great. I am trying to not fall into that again, and I feel like I am doing much better already. Thank you for your kind words, and I hope you are also feeling better today. We are here for each other!
@@VianneyCreates and @mariethomas519 I hope both of you feel better soon. Yes things seem rough right now but we will get through it. It's a good thing we have this crafty family to bring some much needed joy. We might not know each other but I'm sending a virtual hug to you both!!!
I’m glad that you’re feeling better. Unsolicited advice incoming, lol. It’s probably best not to get into politics in this space. The political realm is so toxic. For me, this is a happy space to enjoy crafts of all sorts. I would hate for it to devolve into a space people may feel hesitant to come into because they may differ politically with you. I’m in no way suggesting that this is your goal or intention; nor am I saying you don’t have a right to feel the way you feel. I’m just hopeful that this will remain an apolitical space. Of course, this is your space that you can run as you wish ❤
I have been doing this for many, many years and I don't think I've ever discussed politics in my videos because that's not what I do here. But when I feel depressed in real life, it's hard for me to come on and here and be bubbly. I have always been truthful with you all. If speaking super vaguely on a video and asking for some space/time is problematic for some, then that's ok with me. I can't do much about that. Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it! (:

Gorgeous paper. Awesome set. Can’t wait to order some. Gorgeous AG papers. Thanks for sharing. ❤❤😊😊

Thanks for the preview! AG Christmas papers are beautiful! I’ve seen a few of them in the Creative 0 papers! Love that we can get more!
A lot of us were feeling bad Wed morning. We will persevere together❤
TY, Lynne! I appreciate your kind and encouraging comment. Much love!
My anxiety was off the charts Wednesday morning 😢

LOL!! I totally forgot I said that! Too funny! TYSM, Kristin!
Just rest and why not! You owe none of us any thing! I think your composter is very cool. You be you.❤🍁🍂❤
Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate it, Anne! Honestly, going through these items and making one short video today really helped me out. You all are the best! 💕
You and your family come first. We’ll always be here. Sometimes you need to take a little time to rejuvenate. Awesome papers!
Thanks for sharing and for everything you do! You and your family come first! Hope you feel better soon and see you soon!
Keep shining your light! I love your presentations.

Yay! I'm glad you liked the video. I know it's a very niche thing, but I am in love with that little guy!!! (:

Can’t wait to see what is in the Advant Calendar
I can't, either! I am so behind, so I needed to focus on Spellbinders today...I will try and get a video out tomorrow. TYSM!

Hello, did you get the auto ship for the boarders?
I did, I think I unboxed them here: th-cam.com/video/0ynX9vDuA5o/w-d-xo.html I assume you mean the Anna Griffin ones.
You deserve a day off, or two or three, whenever you want. Posting everyday is a lot of work, especially when some of us don't even go on TH-cam everyday. I do love when I see that you posted.
