Having had a chance to finish watching, I stopped back in to say that grief has no timeline. You heal at the rate that that you do, with all the ups and downs and steps forward and back.
Thank you for the sweet comment :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
Oh Amy, l really appreciated how you opened up today and let us know how you are coping. You have been such a loving, caring and supportive daughter for so many years and it will take quite some time to find the new normal.
The napkins look wonderful and lm excited to see how you use it in your journal. I’m picking out a few to coat so they can dry overnight. The card looks lovely and how exciting that the words show through so well. Take care dear Amy and l do hope you had a wonderful time in the city and get out of the house more. Seeing your growing family will be such a treat. Enjoy 😊
Thank you for your sweet comment :) I will be using this on thursday in the journal :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
These would make great Christmas window decorations as they look like stain glass. Another thing to try. Thank you for another, great, inspiring video Amy x

Tfs this great idea!
Glad to hear things are going well for you. It's a lot to adjust to when you've had the same routine for so many years. You will find your own 'normal' in time.
Thank you for the sweet comment :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy

Amy, give yourself some grace. Your life has changed in a profound way over this past year and it takes time to adjust. I went through that, too, after my mom died. And now, as a somewhat recent empty-nester, I'm still trying to learn to cook for just two people and cannot understand why something so simple evades me. Until I get it, we're eating lots of leftovers. Even good change is still change so take your time getting used to your new normal. ~ Lisa
Thank you for your sweet comment :) I appreciate your words of support :) We too are eating a lot of lefftovers, lol :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
Hi Amy, it's good to hear you sharing about this piece of your journey. In this era we need each other and I am try so happy when I see your videos.... They brighten my day. And may you be patient with your own process in finding the new normal. God bless you and grant you peace amidst a new routine and rhythm.
Thank you for your sweet comment :) I appreciate your support :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy

Hey Amy, we are nearly neighbors! I live in Grant, north of Grand Rapids, maybe some day we can meet for coffee or lunch. Love your videos and have been watching for years. Lost my parents in 2003 and 2005, it takes so long to adjust once they are gone, I still miss mine like crazy every day.
Thank you for your sweet comment :) That would be fun :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
So glad all is going well, may you continue to establish a routine that edifies, validates and establishes. We are blessed by your postings, and feel your grief. Big cyber hugs to let you know you are not alone. Thank you for continuing the two series.

You are speaking to my heart when you talk about figuring out a new normal. I am a brand new empty nester after being a single parent for many years... trying to figure out my new normal...

I love finger painting. TFS
Thank you for the sweet comment :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
This is absolutely perfect for me to send to my "pen friends" over seas. They can even cut it up and use for tags or anything really. 2 in one 🌸 Oh thank you - Amy for turning on your camera for another wonderful video. You are a fabulous instructor and I really do enjoy your videos.
Thank you for the sweet comment :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy

Thank you for the sweet comment :) It's good to be back :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
Hi Amy, I condition my brand spanking new stamps by rubbing a pink pencil eraser on them. I do the same with my clear stamps. It REALLY helps!
Thanks you for another great technique!

Could you scrape the excess glue away from edge of the paper after you're done to make it easier to pull loose when it's dry?
Yes you could wipe the excess glue away and that would make it easier :) Thank you for the comment :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
Oops, did not finish I add the date - then I have it in my note book until I have time to create one for my reference journal. I'm so excited I found you - nice to meet you 🍃🌸
That's a really good idea, thank you for sharing that with us :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
Hello Amy, I'm a newbie subbie. I have been creating a reference journal for the last 6 weeks . My husband had a near fatal heart attack and I'm lost. I don't have the time I used to in my studio and it was so frightening I lost my creativity. I wanted you to know I've been binge watching your videos. I have a reference journal and reference note book
In my note book I put
EXAMPLE-
UA-cam - Al John
Name - Amy
Video - budget crafting
Item - plastic napkin
Date -
I wonder if one could use mod podge or gel medium instead of water glue. It would create a waterproof protective layer. I love how you use your creativity to come up with craft solutions on a budget. This is such a neat hack and I am going to use it today for a project. You are a treasure!
I have started working my way through the Build Your Stash series in order after watching a few here and there.
Thank you for the sweet comment :) Mod podge would work, and I think gel medium will work to but I haven't tried it :) I am glad you are enjoying the Build Your Stash series :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
So glad to see you Amy!!! Sorry about Poppa. I know how you feel. I was a caregiver to many in my family. With me I feel it is my purpose in life. I'm glad you talked about it on here. Lots of us need advice or to just hear that there is others out there in that situation. God bless you and again, thank you!!!
Thank you for your sweet comment. You are an Angel to your family I am sure. Tfw and I hope you have an Outstanding Day amy
I have done this:-)
I put mine on the shiny side of butcher paper.
"People don't keep cards forever ". Bahahahaha that made me laugh. Some do 🙄
I found the same awesome napkins at dollar tree.
craftyirena 🥰
You take your time. Grieving IS a process.
Thank you for your sweet comment :) Thank you for sharing your tip with us all, I will have to give that a try :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
Where do you get beautiful napkins that doesn't cost very much? I have looked at different sites but cost to much for me. I live in a small rural town that doesn't even have a Dollar Tree.
Thank you for your sweet comment :) I get most of my napkins at the Dollar Tree, or a little mom and pops dollar store by my sisters. I also find them sometimes at garage sales, and watch for holiday napkins after the holiday when they go on clearance :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
Judy, my name is Cheryl. I saw your comment about how hard it is for you to find napkins. If you will send me your address is love to gift you some. My Facebook is Cheryl Tallafuss. I'll search for you as well if you are on face book. Feel free to text me as well. That might be easier. 407 235 4117 hugs 🍃💞
Great video☺️
Thank you for your sweet comment :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
Hi Amy,
I’m so glad things are going well for you.
I was wondering if you could make a background stamp with “writing” script to stamp on my collages ?
Thank you for your sweet comment :) I have put it on my list, and will get working on it :) Thank you for the suggestion :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
very cool technique! tfs!
Thank you for the sweet comment :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
Hi Amy try rubbing a new stamp with an eraser or full it gently with a nail file to ^prime^ them. Thankyou for the idea, I was wondering what to do with my napkins.
Thank you for your sweet comment :) Thank you for sharing your tips on the stamps with us all :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
@@aljohn Thank you for replying 🙏❤
You are so sweet. Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry for your lost. Some use krlon and spray ? However it's not easy to get and I'm thinking fumes would kill me!!
I use any clear spray paint that I have on hand :) But you are right, the fumes are bad inside, I always do it outside whenever possible :)
The images on the napkins are so pretty, but I don’t have any pretty paper napkins. I’m thinking about taking a paper towel and tracing images from a book to make my own napkins for this glue technique...
Thank you for the sweet comment :) Napkins from fast food places work great to stamp on and draw on and then use as decorative napkins :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
I love this technique, thank you for sharing. Just come over from Bettsydoodle XX 🥰🌈💖
Thank you for the sweet comment :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
can you use the matt side up instead?
c. hoffman
Yes, you can use either side :) Thank you for your comment :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
😊
Thank you for your sweet comment :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
Thank you so much I can’t wait to try could you use a shopping mat from the dollar tree as well instead of acetate
Thank you for your sweet comment :) I am not sure how well it would work, it might not make it shiny, but it is still worth a try :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
I feel like you never actually get back to "normal". My husband and I were married a little over 33 years. He was taken from us 10 ears ago (this September) and I still sometime pick up my phone to send him a text about something important , something funny I saw or just ask his opinion in something. It does get a little easier day to day, but it is always there.
Thank you for your sweet comment :) I agree that I will not get back to my old normal, but I am trying to find a new normal :) I know I will always miss them, but I was lucky to have them here for wonderful memories through the years :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
Totally not a napkin related or even a junk journal related question....but what kind of camera system do you use and could you tell me where you purchased it band was it expensive?
All questions are welcome :) I use my phone to record, it is an i phone and I think it is a 7 or 8, not real new :) If I have to attach parts of a video together, I use shotcut to edit them, it was a free version on the internet and my YT research showed others thought it was good :) I am sure you can do lots with the video editor, but the only thing I have figured out is how to attach parts of a video together to make one video, I am not very tech savvy, lol :) I hope that helps :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
I wonder if you could use parchment if you don’t hBe acitate?
I don't think it will turn out shiny, but it is still worth a try :) I am not sure if it will release easily from the parchment :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
@@aljohn thank you!
