      He is! Actually he just started using it a week or so ago due to cure time. Now that he's got the storage though he's psyched. Thanks so much, sister! 🥰

    Love "Brown Boxes", glad you used it! The piece is sweet! Would never have know what the drawer pull was if you didn't show it being made - so clever!! Nice to see and hear you, too! Love you!! 🤩🧡🌵

      Right? I love that song too! Thanks so much mum! 🥰 I recently sorted through some sewing stuff and had extra bobbins, it seemed like a good way to use them instead of tossing.

      I've missed everyone so much! It's been crazy trying to get settled in and back into a routine. This was all much easier as a younger gal lol. Thank you so much, Dar! I'm having fun using up all this cardboard for functional stuff. 🥰

    Will The California Dreaming Series be in paperback soon? Sadly I don't download books. Definitely would buy that series in paperback.

      @CopperCactusDIY  8 місяців тому +1

      I definitely understand and yes, I'm hopeful by next summer to have all of my books available in paperback. It's slow going as an Indie and working on these new books means I have to leave my old books in the dust for a while. I'll keep you posted. Thanks so much, Georgie and happy Halloween!

    Hi, Jen! Cool dresser caddy! Are you and Mr. CCdiy settled in or still living out of boxes? Love that your hair and glasses coordinate beautifully with the room you’re in. I’m going to check out your books but I just want to say it’s great to see you again, and I hope you have a tour of your new abode or neighborhood sometimes soon.🌸 Happy Halloween!👻🎃🍁🍂🌕🍬

      It's still a little of both, unfortunately. After six months I hoped to have all our stuff organized. Sadly we sold a lot of our old furniture with our house so there's nowhere to put everything. Hence the cardboard furniture! Yes! I have a bit of video setting up my new studio and I'll work on getting that video out soon as well. Thanks so much Deborah! I missed you all! Happy Halloween! 🎃👻🥰
