Jamie I had never seen you on UA-cam before. Tonight Jan. 25 I saw your face as I was looking for a crafting video to watch and stopped. Absolutely beautiful testimony. You and your family will be in my prayers. I hope your husband has recovered completely. Can't wait to watch you craft!
This is my first time seeing you…and I was drawn in by your voice and goodness! It’s awesome when we can see what God has done & we give Him the glory! I’ve been a Stampin Up customer for several years, but gotten away from it too (thanks to Jennifer McGuire)…but I subscribed and look forward to your cards & content!
@@julieb8946 oh I love being linked by creativity. I’d love to hear about your next creations! Thank you for your encouraging and kind words. Blessings and keep in touch.
Just found your video and gave me pause! I am a new demonstrator from Canada , only a few months. I feel a lot of pressure to produce. I am 70 and joined as a hobby, but I feel that I am not up to the company’s idea. I love to stamp and make my cards, but I do not have any customer and don’t know where to find customers…
I totally understand that. Finding customers is slow, steady and consistent scheduling and inviting. Hobby demos are encouraged even. I have a National Team and half do it for themselves. Idk 🤷🏼♀️ your Upline but do they offer training? Support?
Just happened upon this video this morning, and boy did I need to hear this. I have been worn out this week and feeling upset about it, not doing what I normally do. You, however, have reminded me to give myself grace. Let's pray for each other.
I love Stampin Up & heard of you for the 1st time today, 1/31. You are an inspiration & seeing your video was meant for me…& I am sure many others who follow you. My husband got his heavenly wings 4/23/21 & my world has been upside down. My SU demonstrator, JOYce, helped get me through all of my drama along with family & friends & God. Creativity is contagious. It’s a new year & God will guide us. Thank you for sharing. Glad you are back! God Bless your & your family. Hugs across the miles from San Diego. -Jill
Oh my goodness my friend! My father died April 22, 2008 the day after my birthday. I always like to think of spring as new life and freedom from pain and suffering that he went through with his cancer. I pray that you are strengthened and bolster during the season. I love how the Lord can use crafting to engage our heart and our minds. Blessings and keep in touch!
Just meeting you. I have had similar experience retiring from 41 years of nursing. Crafting is what is keeping me sane. Thank you for sharing of yourself. I'll be watching for you! You're in my thoughts and prayers.
I am seeing this two years after the fact but I wanted to say how excited I get when I meet fellow believers in this business. I haven’t been in the company long and I haven’t gotten my business off the ground yet but my goal is that when I retire from my other life that I can make my love for Stampin up become a success. May the Lord continue to bless you.
I am part of stamping up as a hobby, just for fun! You happen to show up on my feed, I believe nothing happens by accident and I'm so very glad you did show up. Your journey parallels my journey but with different results. My husband also lost his job and my business became the sole provider for the family.... I also homeschool children in the list goes on and on. The difference was I chose to walk away from my profession and to start a different one, one that absolutely thrills me. If all these things didn't happen I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing today. We both gave up everything and went before our Lord and gave him our brokenness and exhaustion..... I'm so glad the both of us went through these things and I'm thrilled that you shared it for others to see.
How beautiful is that... that our paths mirror one another. God is so beautiful in this. I’m blessed to hear He is so generous with His love to us. Blessings and keep in touch
My first visit with you and you are truly an inspiration. I just subscribed to your channel and feel blessed to have met you. Continued success and blessings to your family.
Just came across your video. I too am from Thousand Oaks and I just joined Stampin Up. I hope you are doing great and enjoying your new start for 2022😊
You haven’t failed. You did what you could and were successful. Sometimes we have to back up and pause. That’s it just pause. You have a great deal on your plate and were able to get through this. I applaud you and hope you take the time you need.
Thank you Jamie for being transparent and for giving God the glory in your recovery. I know He is super proud of you. Just moved myself and am finding SU reps on UA-cam and hope to get back into stamping. I was a rep back in the early 2000's. Hope I can find someone as wonderful as you where I am! May God bless you with rest and healing, you and your family.
Take time to ask them questions. Many who claim to be of faith aren’t and many who aren’t of faith are wonderful. Pray as God will lead you. Thanks for joining my journey. Blessings and keep in touch.
Thank you for sharing what you went through and how you’re still coping and how God is still seeing you through. Wow! You’ve had a LOT! I’m 65, no kids, hubs and I are semi-retired doing what we love. But with everything going on, I have, like millions of others in this country, felt the stress, the uncertainty, the changes, the adapting to changes, and even grieved with so many people that I never met…never saw in person, deal with endings and beginnings of life events that they never saw coming. I can tell you that the YT community that I am a part of, (I’m an artist, paper crafter and vintage reseller) just by watching, posting comments and sharing my own experiences or knowledge and receiving so much by what others share, has brought more comfort to me at this difficult time than I could have ever imagined. The back and forth interaction with YT channel hosts and sharing thoughts with others or to give a word of encouragement or listen to a word of encouragement or just to tell someone that you’ll pray for them…or just send up a quick prayer. It really has been and continues to be an amazing experience. I am very concerned about our country right now and pray so hard that this great divide can be resolved one day soon. I’ll finish with this one last thought.: I was listening to the news yesterday, which can be a stressful thing in itself. And the well-known saying…”the truth will set us free” came to mind. And then I thought, well Dr. King said that in one of his famous speeches. Well, he did make it more well-known, but the saying didn’t originate with him, and of course he acknowledged this too. And many well-known people have uttered those incredible words, or variations of it. But I felt sort of “duh.” Even with growing up in church, years of Sunday School…and while I’m no Bible scholar, I’m pretty good on remembering important and “famous” scriptures., but I didn’t remember the “author” of this profound scripture that has meaning and inescapable impact in every aspect of Christian faith and even secular life. So I looked it up and of course as I’m sure many already know, it came from the Bible, the New Testament, and Jesus said it! “Jesus said (to those who believed Him), “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8: 31-32 ❤️
Oh sister! Online communities and my Getting Crafty Stampers and team Getting Crafty Family has been the support and encouragement when times are tough. God wove our lives together for a reason. I’m sad to see the state of our nation and world. It’s not new if we see all that is written in the Bible - right?!? God is faithful in all things ESPECIALLY in the trials. Thank you for your loving and encouraging words. Blessings and keep in touch.
Amen! Thanks for sharing your heart . SU has been a blessing to me over these last two years during the pandemic and I am so glad I found it and you. Glad your back and refocused. Blessings to you and your family.
I’ve marvelled at all you do and how you cope. The title worried me and I’ve listened to this, you are amazing and I’m so pleased you ‘paused’ and didn’t wave goodbye…..
Oh yes my sweet friend we still need to connect! Yes I am really glad that I was able to do a pause instead of giving y’all less but either way and laid it down at the foot of the Lord for direction and blessing. Hugs
How inspirational! You’re having quite a journey . . . but have found your spunk again. (I have just found you but you have inspired me to be a subscriber and I WILL be following you!) And when you mentioned “prioritizing” near the end of your video, I thought you said “prayer- tizing”, and my first thought was: how appropriate! Blessings to you, my new friend!
I was looking through the videos and happened upon yours! God is good and He will continue to bless you because you, in this crazy world, have spoken out for Him. I hope your husband is fine as well as your children. I have never looked at Stamping Up but because of you and how you praised our Father you better believe I gave you a thumbs up and subscribed to your channel. God go with you!
Thank you for your encouraging words. God is so good. In all things if we keep God at the center and front we can go in peace. Thanks for reaching out. Blessings and keep in touch.
I just "happened" upon your video and it is wonderful how God is using your video to reach others that needed to hear your message. God bless you and thank you for being so transparent.
That is my prayer. May He use me and I pray I continue to keep Him in the front of all I do. Thank you for your encouraging words. God is so good. Blessings and keep in touch.
Nice to meet you Jamie! You've been through a lot and way to go being able to not just talk about to your close friends and family, but to be able to post it out on the web for everyone to see and to speak so openly and positively about the Lord, amazing! Welcome back and best wishes on your comeback!!!
Jamie I have never seen you on UA-cam before. This morning Jan. 18 I seen you face on UA-cam and stopped and watch this video. Absolutely beautiful testimony. You and your family will be in my nightly prayers every night
What a blessing you are! I appreciate the prayers and I’m grateful to meet you online looking forward to interacting more. If you need prayers please let me know I’ll be glad to add you to my prayers
This is the first time I've seen you on you tube. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story. I too, have been going through a lot these past few months. Our son passed away in April, a couple of weeks after his funeral I had a preventative surgery on my left foot that went wrong and I ended up losing my toes and half of my foot. I am still in a rehabilitation facility, and getting better every day. I gave all my pain, anger and frustration to God. He continues to bless me daily. He has eased the pain of losing my son I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I look forward to watching your videos. I am a card maker and can't wait to go home and start making cards again. God bless.
Oh my dear!! I am so sorry for your loss. Your heart is truly an inspiration. Please email me your contact info so that I can send you some encouragement in a handmade card. I look forward to keeping in touch!!
Hi Jamie, this is my first time seeing you and I must say my whole life has been a looong tragedy. I turned 71 this year and thank Abba I JUST now signed up with Stampin up. I'd love prayers as to what Father wants me to do with the rest of my life, since I finally have something to enjoy in this cruel world. Blessings to all and stay safe everyone.
I pray the Lord meet you in every thought and desire of your heart and gives you wisdom and discernment. In Jesus name we pray amen. I believe the Lord is creative and designed us to create. Welcome to our crafting world. I am finding that life is full of tragedy but God is our beautiful blessing and protection and provision in the midst of all of that. Thank you for your beautiful words God bless you
I am so inspired by what you said. I have had a very rough two years and was seriously going to quit Stampin Up because I spend and haven’t had the time to grow my business. Money gone and no return but I think I’ll give it a go and not quit! You made me change my mind. If you can do it, I can too
Have to tell you! I was watching all my saved UA-cam videos and “stamp it Up with Jamie” kept popping up! Who is this person that I kept saving the videos! Wonderful, creative, beautiful inspiration projects! So glad I found you. Keep the faith! The struggle is impossible without the Lords help. God bless you and your family! Thanks for Your testimony!
Wishing you all the best! I just caught you for the first time. It’s good to take time for yourself. Wow!! Thanks for being honest you may help someone who needs it!!
Ohh I’m always so grateful when He can use our struggles to encourage others. Honesty is what I know and I hope by sharing it, we can love upon others. You are not alone. Blessings! I look forward to connecting with you again soon!
Like many other comments I’ve read here, you popped up on my feed for the first time today. I have to say I am exhausted after hearing everything you do/have done! Lol. I am glad you have found your way back. You are very inspiring! God out you where you need to be. Best of luck! New subscriber!
Whew !Welcome back Jamie! Yes moving is super stressful✅ changing jobs super stressful ✅ self care is serious and must be a priority. We all need to just stop and BREATHE! I am glad you took time to pause. I am grateful for you. Thanks for sharing this video🙏🏻
Jamie, thank you so much for making this video. You are not alone. I will celebrate my 20th year as a SU! demonstrator in August. I was holding monthly. technique classes (5 sections), and Stamp-a-Stacks (2 sections) each month as well. After an illness that hit me after Thanksgiving and lasted for 6 weeks, I was sapped of my energy and enthusiasm for anything. Finally, in February, I was able to start holding the Stamp-a-Stacks again. I have decided that the technique classes will have to wait. We all hit roadblocks at times, and there is no shame in taking a break to re-enervate ourselves. It is so important to keep these messages going so that others who are struggling will give themselves time to think, weigh the pros & cons, and heal.
Holy frickin cow!!! I have never been to your channel before but it popped up and I started watching it. WHAT A NIGHTMARE! You HAVE been through soooo much! I wish you and your family the very best! I see this video is even a year old so hope all is going well I’m your life! Best wishes and Merry Christmas!
I have never seen you or followed you. But I just subscribed and hit the full bell. You are a beautiful person. Thank you for sharing yourSELF with us! And yes… GOD IS GOOD ❤️
So glad you are back. I'm also a Stampin' Up demo and I think we sat at the same table during one of our last CentreStages! You are so right and I definitely feel your story will resonate with so many of us. The past two years have really thrown most of us for a loop regardless of what the details are. We've mostly all lost loved ones, been super ill ourselves, and changed jobs (or lost them), homes, etc. These are trying times for a lot of us and you being a Christian helps you immeasurably in my opinion. Lean on God and not your own understanding and for a fellow Type A person, this is tough. I lost my mobility (cannot walk!) in the last two years and you don't realize how much you need others when this is the case. However, it is this way for now for a reason and I must listen to God for my own welfare, just as you did. We all must, and we will all be blessed by doing so. Hang in there, glad you are settled once again and wish you nothing but the best in your reconnection with Stampin Up!
I’m sorry for your loss of mobility. What a gift you give others who can rise and aide you. Boy you are on point with your observations above on our lives. God is so loving and faithful in the midst of these trials and tribulations. I am glad to hear we may have sat near one another at an event. I do pray you are blessed. Thank you for your encouraging and kind words. Blessings and keep in touch.
Hi Jamie! So I was watching card making videos tonight to occupy my mind and your video popped up. Thank you for sharing your story, and for making going tough times be "okay" and know that we CAN get through them. And yes, God is good! Honestly though, I don't know what's more amazing..... the fact that you chose to come forward and be so transparent by sharing what you've been through (Thank you for that! No doubt, you've helped MANY people by doing so!) ORRRRR the fact you've replied to EVERYONE'S comment! You are a true testament to your faith! All the best to you, your family and your Stampin' Up business! :)
Awww love thank you for these loving words. God is so amazing in all seasons. I pray He uses me and in turn I can connect with and hug (virtually) all who need it (it’s a selfish blessing and that carries me as well). Blessings and keep in touch.
I had know idea who you were, what Stampin Up Is or anything about you until tonight. Be proud of your strength, your faith and your wisdom. I, too, have had crazy stress and you have encouraged me no end. Thanks so very much! Forge ahead and BREATHE!
I’m so grateful that we connected connected! Welcome to the world of paper crafting and our crazy lives LOL. I’m glad you’re along the journey with me. Blessings and keep in touch let me know how it’s going for you.
@@JamieAlbanese Well, I should proof before sending! “No idea” That’s better! You express yourself beautifully, communicate with intention and have helped me to allow the universe to BE and for me to listen. My warmest thanks and appreciation.
Hey Jamie, this is the first video of yours that I have watched. I was really touched by your video. I to have been exhausted and going through a lot for the last few years with health, loss of income, etc. I cried listening to you and could sympathize with you. I am so glad that you know the Lord. He is amazing and he is here for us. God bless you sister you have this. Ill be praying for you. With love, Sher
Hello Jamie, nice to meet you I honesty not sure how I got here, but I believe it was for a reason. I needed to hear your story. What a beautiful testimony you have. Thank you for sharing it. I had a crying like a baby kind of day today. Not sure what God wants for me. I took a break from working last October and have been thinking the last week or two of returning. Just not sure what to do. I have prayed, but I feel I haven't given it to him completely. Thank you Jamie for the reminder.I like to say, let go let God. Now I need follow those words. I look forward to following you. I have been crafting, scrapbooking, card making and yes stamping for 18 years. Prayers for you and your family, God Bless you dear Sister in Christ.
Oh you sweet Kathy I pray the Lord meets you in every thought and decision as He gives you guidance, wisdom and discernment. In Jesus name I pray amen. Thank you for the sweet and encourage words. You are a blessing and I look forward to keeping in touch. Blessings.
I had never heard of you LOL And your video “just happened” to pop up. I thank God for this unexpected blessing. You are wonderful!!!! May God bless you and guide you on your healing journey!!!!! Prayers and hugs!!!!
Jaime thank you for sharing your story. I stumbled on your video and just had to view till the end, it was like a gift from God. I am truly at a crossroad in my Corporate high pressured job and been struggling with walking away for months. I truly appreciated your message and how you put God at the center! Thank you again for sharing!
We are grateful and blessed to have left CA as well. God is so good and to Him be the glory as I’m a hot mess. Thank you for your kind and encouraging words. Blessings and keep in touch
Oh My Goodness!!! What a testimony. I don't know how you shared without crying. You have been through SO MUCH!! I am a believer also. God is truly in control. I love this quote: "God is too kind to be cruel Too wise to make a mistake And too deep to understand." May God bless you more than you can imagine and if I order anything on line ,it will be from you.
Oh how sweet of you! And thank you thank you for your kind and encouraging words. God is so good! I’m grateful we’ve connected and look forward to keeping in touch
I had never seen one of your videos until today. All I can say is just WOW! 🤯 How you pulled through all of that is truly amazing. Some people believe that God blesses certain people with special individual gifts. If this is so, then in my humble opinion, your gift is the gift of strength! Best of luck to you in going forward. 🙂
Oh wow. Your words and encouragement are a balm to my soul. I do pray that this is a strength He has given me - He covers all of my many short comings - Thank God. Thank you for your show of love. Blessings and keep in touch.
Hi Jamie. I live in Australia but have never heard of you B4. WOW what a journey you have been on. SO much Trauma all at once certainly would have anyone crashing down. I had a breakdown so know what you are saying. Thank you Lord for helping Jamie recover and re join the world in doing what she loves. Wishing you and your family all the very very best
I have not seen you before today on UA-cam. What a lovely woman you are and such strength you honestly have. Keep leaning into your faith you are "Blessed". Sharing your testimony in this way I know will help others struggling through life decisions not just those related to Stampin Up. God Bless you and your family.
Hello jamie , i am a demo and i am stuck and your video spoke to me. I subscribed because I don’t have a upline and i have been a hobby demo but the last few years started do class.But have alot to learn to grow. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your encouraging words. Where are you located?!? I’m glad to connect and offer support if you need as a sister in crafting. Blessings and keep in touch.
Hi Jamie…..this is my first time seeing your channel. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I’m glad you did not give up or give in. You are right; God is good. He will always work things out for you. Sometimes we have to stop and let God take over the situation. He will guide you through the journey. Thank you for your honesty and inspiration. I look forward to seeing your crafty videos. Thanks
Wow, Jamie!! Just met you for the first time, and already love you! I’ve been where you are surfacing from-I know exactly how it feels!! I, too, am an over achiever, have worked so much and so hard in times past, that I fell off the cliff before I even realized the cliff was there! Your passion, your words of faith, your loving attitude, your love of things beautiful and happy, all remind me of me😳👍!! I was a full-time Executive Assistant, and worked as an independent consultant for Home Interiors and Gifts for 25+ years, had several recruits to look after, which resulted in my doing in-home shows almost every evening, running wide open from 5:30 am till 12:00 midnight and after, for years, plus serving as a Sunday School Teacher, VBS Director for our church, PTA Secretary, Homeroom Mom Chair, and taking care of my 2 daughters, husband and family!! I absolutely worked myself into a shutdown! I think that’s why I watched your video with such interest and compassion!! You were spot on with all you relayed in your video! I’m now retired, since 2012, and truly enjoying life, grandchildren, family, crafting and all the things I love! Life is so much slower now…something that is sometimes difficult for me, as I ‘thrive’ on the excitement of “too much to do, in too little time😆🙌🏻…but I make it happen!!” Guess I’ll go to Glory still looking to get in one more thing before I go!! 🤦🏼♀️🥰😜I look forward to following you, learning from your crafting talents, and seeing all the great things God has in store for you. The one thing I can tell you from experience, especially, once a person has been where you and I have traveled, is that with age comes wisdom…and, God WILL get our attention, one way or another!! So glad you are on the road to a great new year, and restart with your business! God is good all the time! So happy I found you this evening!! Prayers of love as you go forward!! 🤗💐💕🙏🏻✝️👍
We do sound alike! I’m happy life has shifted for you and wish you the best of blessings in it. Don’t burn out - prayer is key. Blessings! Looking forward to connecting more along this journey.
I just found this today. I am one who doesn't like or buy Stampin' Up products, because of the costs. But I was looking for another video, and found YOU! I am impressed with your testimony, your strength that you do have in you, and your family ethic. Please know I understand stress and loss. I will pray, gentle prayers for you, during your season of change.
Thank you for your kind words. God is so good. I love the products and I love the creativity. I am glad we can connect with so many in a variety of ways. Blessings and keep in touch.
You sound like a fun person - I’m so sorry you have been though so much. I pray you are ok and your family are ok. Remember to rest , drink water, take every day 10 mins at a time ( no more no less) you are strong.
We are recovering and THANK YOU - what a great reminder. That 10 minute suggestion can help us! Thanks for your encouraging words. Blessings and keep in touch.
Just stumbled upon ur video still I love Stampin up and decided to watch it. I’m so glad I did. So happy you have overcome. God is Awesome and has ur back! Praying for continued success!
I have been a demo since 2004. I dropped once and came back. I was a business demo and converted to hobby demo. I hope they can have an in-person convention again. When they do, I will search you out and give you a big hug. Nancy in Colorado. I have never seen you before, which surprises me based on you being gold. Nancy Iverson
It’s wonderful to meet online (until we have those in person events again!). Gold Elite is a blessing for sure. Can’t wait to connect. Thanks for the encouraging words. Blessings and keep in touch.
You’ve never come up on my feed before, but what a testimony you’ve shared here! I look forward to getting to know you better and hopefully find some of your earlier videos. Have you always been on UA-cam?? God bless you as you start this new chapter! I’m excited for you!!
I just was looking thu the You Tube videos and I happen to turn yours on! God will continue to bless you on your journey. I hope that your husband has recovered and that your children are fine. You have a beautiful soul and thank you for sharing your love for God. In this world to have someone come out and praise Him as you have is fabulous! God go with you.
Awww thank you for your loving words. My husband is recovering and my children are so amazing. Your prayers are so appreciated. Blessings and keep in touch.
My friend, how did I not know this - my friend I am so glad you were gifted back the love of Stampin' Up! you are so good at it! You shine a bright light in the world! I am so glad you're still with us - because one of these days we'll be hugging in person again. Love you sister xxx
Oh boo I do love you. I adore our friendship and miss our hugs! You inspire me to continue on as well. Your love of this beautifully woven tapestry we are given with crafting.
Thank you for sharing what you all have been through I just happened to come upon you God is good sometimes things are sent to try us but God give you the strength when needed to get through he is closer than a brother without him you have nothing keep walking in your faith and I will also hold you in prayer God bless you all from Northern Ireland x
Oh thank you for your encouraging words. God bless you! I know if I remain close to Him I can walk through anything (or He will carry me). Blessings and keep in touch.
What an awesome testimony Jamie. Will keep you and your family in my prayers. I'm going through a rough time right now and God is my strength, my rock, and I give my all to Him. I've just started card making within this past month. It's been a lot of fun. I have subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to following you.
Hallelujah! Wow thanks for your transparency! As Christians if we're not careful....we are deceived by toxic notions that we are suppose to dance in the chaos...No!!! The safest and most restful place is in the will of God! Taking care of yourself..taking it slowww and submitting yourself and what you do unto the Lord--that is POWER! GOING thru the same! Found my peace! And girl! Yes! Get sleep! And I am more careful and strategic when I show up because God's will and ministry is priority! Celebrating you and what you shared!
Bless you....I've been a demonstrator for 6 years. I became a demonstrator after my 22 year old sons tragic dirt bike accident...and now this March my dad passed away and I'm a little stuck ..we just finished cleaning out his farm a week ago. You have given me such a positive outlook....I hope to get back to videos in the next couple of weeks. I had just uploaded my first 3 videos just before he passed....Thank you! So glad I chose to watch your video!!
Oh my dear heart!! I’m so so sorry for so many losses!! Stuck is ok. Breathe. Dabble back into it. Pray. Lay your goals out and par them down into meaningful and doable steps. I’m proud of you. Sending hugs!
Thank you so much for sharing. You are a very brave warrior. Although I've never seen you on You Tube, I've subscribed and look forward to what's to come. Be well, Jamie, and to your family also.
Jamie I had never seen you on UA-cam before. Tonight Jan. 25 I saw your face as I was looking for a crafting video to watch and stopped. Absolutely beautiful testimony. You and your family will be in my prayers. I hope your husband has recovered completely. Can't wait to watch you craft!
He is mostly recovered. I’m so grateful we connected! God is so good. Blessings.
This was perfectly said may God bless
@@springlynnbooth2201 God bless you also.
This is my first time seeing you…and I was drawn in by your voice and goodness! It’s awesome when we can see what God has done & we give Him the glory! I’ve been a Stampin Up customer for several years, but gotten away from it too (thanks to Jennifer McGuire)…but I subscribed and look forward to your cards & content!
@@julieb8946 oh I love being linked by creativity. I’d love to hear about your next creations! Thank you for your encouraging and kind words. Blessings and keep in touch.
Welcome to Indiana. I live in Fort Wayne, hope you are enjoying the snow we just got. Glad to find your channel.
I’m loving the weather actually!! Thank you for your encouraging words. Blessings and keep in touch.
Just found your video and gave me pause! I am a new demonstrator from Canada , only a few months. I feel a lot of pressure to produce. I am 70 and joined as a hobby, but I feel that I am not up to the company’s idea.
I love to stamp and make my cards, but I do not have any customer and don’t know where to find customers…
I totally understand that. Finding customers is slow, steady and consistent scheduling and inviting. Hobby demos are encouraged even. I have a National Team and half do it for themselves. Idk 🤷🏼♀️ your Upline but do they offer training? Support?
Just happened upon this video this morning, and boy did I need to hear this. I have been worn out this week and feeling upset about it, not doing what I normally do. You, however, have reminded me to give myself grace. Let's pray for each other.
Grace is what God gives us and we give others... it’s a reminder to give it to ourselves. Blessings! Be refreshed. Love you sister.
Absolutely Amen. 💯
Hope things have continued to improve for you. God bless 😍
Thank you! God has been so faithful.
I love Stampin Up & heard of you for the 1st time today, 1/31. You are an inspiration & seeing your video was meant for me…& I am sure many others who follow you. My husband got his heavenly wings 4/23/21 & my world has been upside down. My SU demonstrator, JOYce, helped get me through all of my drama along with family & friends & God. Creativity is contagious. It’s a new year & God will guide us. Thank you for sharing. Glad you are back! God Bless your & your family. Hugs across the miles from San Diego. -Jill
Oh my goodness my friend! My father died April 22, 2008 the day after my birthday. I always like to think of spring as new life and freedom from pain and suffering that he went through with his cancer. I pray that you are strengthened and bolster during the season. I love how the Lord can use crafting to engage our heart and our minds. Blessings and keep in touch!
Just meeting you. I have had similar experience retiring from 41 years of nursing. Crafting is what is keeping me sane. Thank you for sharing of yourself. I'll be watching for you! You're in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you. One of my team is a retired nurse and it’s wonderful to see how SU works to fill the space. Blessings.
I am seeing this two years after the fact but I wanted to say how excited I get when I meet fellow believers in this business. I haven’t been in the company long and I haven’t gotten my business off the ground yet but my goal is that when I retire from my other life that I can make my love for Stampin up become a success. May the Lord continue to bless you.
Love your heart. With a plan and heart ♥️ work you can make it happen!
Wow... you are the second person I heard that same think! Good luck on your new path.
Blessings
I am part of stamping up as a hobby, just for fun! You happen to show up on my feed, I believe nothing happens by accident and I'm so very glad you did show up. Your journey parallels my journey but with different results. My husband also lost his job and my business became the sole provider for the family.... I also homeschool children in the list goes on and on. The difference was I chose to walk away from my profession and to start a different one, one that absolutely thrills me. If all these things didn't happen I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing today. We both gave up everything and went before our Lord and gave him our brokenness and exhaustion..... I'm so glad the both of us went through these things and I'm thrilled that you shared it for others to see.
How beautiful is that... that our paths mirror one another. God is so beautiful in this. I’m blessed to hear He is so generous with His love to us. Blessings and keep in touch
My first visit with you and you are truly an inspiration. I just subscribed to your channel and feel blessed to have met you. Continued success and blessings to your family.
Thank you for your kind words. Blessings and keep in touch.
Just came across your video. I too am from Thousand Oaks and I just joined Stampin Up. I hope you are doing great and enjoying your new start for 2022😊
Hello TO! What a beautiful journey this has been. Blessings and keep in touch.
You haven’t failed. You did what you could and were successful. Sometimes we have to back up and pause. That’s it just pause. You have a great deal on your plate and were able to get through this. I applaud you and hope you take the time you need.
Thank you for your encouraging words. God is so good. Blessings and keep in touch.
You are blessed as yr shirt says. This is my first time here. Loved listening
Thank you. God is so good. Blessings and keep in touch
Thank you Jamie for being transparent and for giving God the glory in your recovery. I know He is super proud of you. Just moved myself and am finding SU reps on UA-cam and hope to get back into stamping. I was a rep back in the early 2000's. Hope I can find someone as wonderful as you where I am! May God bless you with rest and healing, you and your family.
Take time to ask them questions. Many who claim to be of faith aren’t and many who aren’t of faith are wonderful. Pray as God will lead you. Thanks for joining my journey. Blessings and keep in touch.
Thanks for sharing your testimony. It was very encouraging how works in mysterious ways in our lives. All the best in weeks ahead.. can’t wait.
Thank you. God knows and weaves our lives together. Thank you for your encouraging words. Blessings and keep in touch.
Thank you for sharing what you went through and how you’re still coping and how God is still seeing you through. Wow! You’ve had a LOT! I’m 65, no kids, hubs and I are semi-retired doing what we love. But with everything going on, I have, like millions of others in this country, felt the stress, the uncertainty, the changes, the adapting to changes, and even grieved with so many people that I never met…never saw in person, deal with endings and beginnings of life events that they never saw coming. I can tell you that the YT community that I am a part of, (I’m an artist, paper crafter and vintage reseller) just by watching, posting comments and sharing my own experiences or knowledge and receiving so much by what others share, has brought more comfort to me at this difficult time than I could have ever imagined. The back and forth interaction with YT channel hosts and sharing thoughts with others or to give a word of encouragement or listen to a word of encouragement or just to tell someone that you’ll pray for them…or just send up a quick prayer. It really has been and continues to be an amazing experience. I am very concerned about our country right now and pray so hard that this great divide can be resolved one day soon.
I’ll finish with this one last thought.: I was listening to the news yesterday, which can be a stressful thing in itself. And the well-known saying…”the truth will set us free” came to mind. And then I thought, well Dr. King said that in one of his famous speeches. Well, he did make it more well-known, but the saying didn’t originate with him, and of course he acknowledged this too. And many well-known people have uttered those incredible words, or variations of it. But I felt sort of “duh.” Even with growing up in church, years of Sunday School…and while I’m no Bible scholar, I’m pretty good on remembering important and “famous” scriptures., but I didn’t remember the “author” of this profound scripture that has meaning and inescapable impact in every aspect of Christian faith and even secular life. So I looked it up and of course as I’m sure many already know, it came from the Bible, the New Testament, and Jesus said it!
“Jesus said (to those who believed Him), “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8: 31-32

Oh sister! Online communities and my Getting Crafty Stampers and team Getting Crafty Family has been the support and encouragement when times are tough. God wove our lives together for a reason. I’m sad to see the state of our nation and world. It’s not new if we see all that is written in the Bible - right?!? God is faithful in all things ESPECIALLY in the trials.
Thank you for your loving and encouraging words. Blessings and keep in touch.
Amen! Thanks for sharing your heart . SU has been a blessing to me over these last two years during the pandemic and I am so glad I found it and you. Glad your back and refocused. Blessings to you and your family.
God met me with my SU and these lock downs. I’m grateful we met. Blessings.
Wow amazing ! Such beautiful soul!!! Can't wait to see your previous and new videos. Take care !
Awww thanks. God is so amazing.
Yes it’s been crazy last two years! I think everyone has had crazy times!! I’m going to join and check out your creativity!!
Amen. Looking forward to creating, connecting and keeping in touch. Blessings
Thank for blessing me today. I’m rethinking my priorities.
Oh I’m glad to hear it was a blessing. Thank you for your encouraging and kind words. I pray you find the wisdom in this. Blessings and keep in touch
I’ve marvelled at all you do and how you cope. The title worried me and I’ve listened to this, you are amazing and I’m so pleased you ‘paused’ and didn’t wave goodbye…..
Oh yes my sweet friend we still need to connect! Yes I am really glad that I was able to do a pause instead of giving y’all less but either way and laid it down at the foot of the Lord for direction and blessing. Hugs
New to your channel and this is the first video I have watched. Thank you for sharing your story. Thank you for the pause.
I pray you are refreshed in your pause. Thank you for your encouraging words. Blessings and keep in touch.
How inspirational! You’re having quite a journey . . . but have found your spunk again. (I have just found you but you have inspired me to be a subscriber and I WILL be following you!) And when you mentioned “prioritizing” near the end of your video, I thought you said “prayer- tizing”, and my first thought was: how appropriate! Blessings to you, my new friend!
Ohhhh that is my new saying now! I’m grateful we’ve connected and look forward to more interaction in the near future. Blessings!
I was looking through the videos and happened upon yours! God is good and He will continue to bless you because you, in this crazy world, have spoken out for Him. I hope your husband is fine as well as your children. I have never looked at Stamping Up but because of you and how you praised our Father you better believe I gave you a thumbs up and subscribed to your channel. God go with you!
Thank you for your encouraging words. God is so good. In all things if we keep God at the center and front we can go in peace. Thanks for reaching out. Blessings and keep in touch.
Thank you for your testimony. I too just found you and glad God is and was good to you. You be one of my UA-cam special ladies.
Thank you for your kind and encouraging words. Blessing my friend. Keep in touch.
I just "happened" upon your video and it is wonderful how God is using your video to reach others that needed to hear your message. God bless you and thank you for being so transparent.
That is my prayer. May He use me and I pray I continue to keep Him in the front of all I do. Thank you for your encouraging words. God is so good. Blessings and keep in touch.
Yay!!! You got this girl .
Praise God in all things . 💜💜💜
Thanks Sister.
Hi I was also from California and moved to Fort Wayne. So I know exactly how you feel. Glad you are here in Indiana. Angela
How AWESOME! I’d love to connect! Let’s keep in touch
Ohhhh my goodness!!! I didn't know!!!! I'm so glad that you didn't leave. I'm glad I'm still on your team!!
Blessings.
What a wonderful witness! Great advice!
Thank you. God is so good. Blessings
@@JamieAlbanese 💕
You are not alone in that and I think that's why you are coming up in so many of ours feeds just now. Hugs follow your heart.
Awww that’s sweet to know. I pray it encourages. Blessings.
Wow, you’ve been through it! We just moved here to Indiana from Idaho in March! You have a wonderful outlook, God bless you!
Welcome to Hoosier state! If you are close let’s connect! Blessings and keep in touch.
Nice to meet you Jamie! You've been through a lot and way to go being able to not just talk about to your close friends and family, but to be able to post it out on the web for everyone to see and to speak so openly and positively about the Lord, amazing!
Welcome back and best wishes on your comeback!!!
Thanks for joining the conversation and journey. God Is so good
Jamie I have never seen you on UA-cam before. This morning Jan. 18 I seen you face on UA-cam and stopped and watch this video. Absolutely beautiful testimony. You and your family will be in my nightly prayers every night
What a blessing you are! I appreciate the prayers and I’m grateful to meet you online looking forward to interacting more. If you need prayers please let me know I’ll be glad to add you to my prayers
This is the first time I've seen you on you tube. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story. I too, have been going through a lot these past few months. Our son passed away in April, a couple of weeks after his funeral I had a preventative surgery on my left foot that went wrong and I ended up losing my toes and half of my foot. I am still in a rehabilitation facility, and getting better every day. I gave all my pain, anger and frustration to God. He continues to bless me daily. He has eased the pain of losing my son
I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I look forward to watching your videos. I am a card maker and can't wait to go home and start making cards again. God bless.
Oh my dear!! I am so sorry for your loss. Your heart is truly an inspiration. Please email me your contact info so that I can send you some encouragement in a handmade card. I look forward to keeping in touch!!
Finding this video two years later! I think we all need a break and need to grow! Hope after two years you’ve found your love ❤
@@brandiepoulin1771 I’ve been blessed in a wide circle of ways and growing daily. Thanks for your kind words
Hi Jamie, this is my first time seeing you and I must say my whole life has been a looong tragedy. I turned 71 this year and thank Abba I JUST now signed up with Stampin up. I'd love prayers as to what Father wants me to do with the rest of my life, since I finally have something to enjoy in this cruel world. Blessings to all and stay safe everyone.
I pray the Lord meet you in every thought and desire of your heart and gives you wisdom and discernment. In Jesus name we pray amen. I believe the Lord is creative and designed us to create. Welcome to our crafting world. I am finding that life is full of tragedy but God is our beautiful blessing and protection and provision in the midst of all of that. Thank you for your beautiful words God bless you
I am so inspired by what you said. I have had a very rough two years and was seriously going to quit Stampin Up because I spend and haven’t had the time to grow my business. Money gone and no return but I think I’ll give it a go and not quit! You made me change my mind. If you can do it, I can too
I pray you are refreshed and blessed. I’m grateful the Lord brought me SU and in it, so many amazing friends. Blessings and keep in touch.
Your story has blessed me. Thank you. I never seen you before and so glad you pop up tonight. And yes God is good all the time.
I’m so humbled to hear that the Lord used me to connect with you. Blessings. Thank you for your encouraging words. Keep in touch.
Have to tell you! I was watching all my saved UA-cam videos and “stamp it Up with Jamie” kept popping up! Who is this person that I kept saving the videos! Wonderful, creative, beautiful inspiration projects! So glad I found you. Keep the faith! The struggle is impossible without the Lords help. God bless you and your family! Thanks for Your testimony!
Divine appointments! Welcome and thank you for your kind words. Looking forward to keeping in touch! Blessings.
Wishing you all the best! I just caught you for the first time. It’s good to take time for yourself. Wow!! Thanks for being honest you may help someone who needs it!!
Ohh I’m always so grateful when He can use our struggles to encourage others. Honesty is what I know and I hope by sharing it, we can love upon others. You are not alone. Blessings! I look forward to connecting with you again soon!
Bless you girl ! Not only are strong but also beautiful. The best to you.
Awww you are very sweet. Thank you! Blessings and keep in touch.
Like many other comments I’ve read here, you popped up on my feed for the first time today. I have to say I am exhausted after hearing everything you do/have done! Lol. I am glad you have found your way back. You are very inspiring! God out you where you need to be. Best of luck! New subscriber!
Welcome and thank you for your encouraging words. Blessings and keep in touch.
Thank you for sharing your heart and your testimony. Looking forward to following you as you start sharing crafting videos again!
Thank you. I look forward to keeping in touch. Let me know what you think.
Whew !Welcome back Jamie! Yes moving is super stressful✅ changing jobs super stressful ✅ self care is serious and must be a priority. We all need to just stop and BREATHE! I am glad you took time to pause. I am grateful for you. Thanks for sharing this video🙏🏻
Adore you my friend! (Your package is going out Wednesday xoxo).
God Bless you on your journey! You are an inspiration to us all...
Thank you for your kind words. God is so good. I pray I can edify Him in all things. Blessings and keep in touch.
Thank you for sharing your story…bless you
Blessings and keep in touch.
Jamie, thank you so much for making this video. You are not alone. I will celebrate my 20th year as a SU! demonstrator in August. I was holding monthly. technique classes (5 sections), and Stamp-a-Stacks (2 sections) each month as well. After an illness that hit me after Thanksgiving and lasted for 6 weeks, I was sapped of my energy and enthusiasm for anything. Finally, in February, I was able to start holding the Stamp-a-Stacks again. I have decided that the technique classes will have to wait. We all hit roadblocks at times, and there is no shame in taking a break to re-enervate ourselves. It is so important to keep these messages going so that others who are struggling will give themselves time to think, weigh the pros & cons, and heal.
I pray you are healed and restored quickly. Thank you for the kind words. Blessings and hugs!
Thank you….I’m a SE and I needed to hear you today…
I’m so glad the Lord can work in my simple words. Blessings and keep in touch.
Holy frickin cow!!! I have never been to your channel before but it popped up and I started watching it. WHAT A NIGHTMARE! You HAVE been through soooo much! I wish you and your family the very best! I see this video is even a year old so hope all is going well I’m your life! Best wishes and Merry Christmas!
Blessings to you. So glad you will continue with Stampin Up
Thank you. I’m grateful as well. Blessings and keep in touch
I have never seen you or followed you. But I just subscribed and hit the full bell. You are a beautiful person. Thank you for sharing yourSELF with us! And yes… GOD IS GOOD ❤️
God is sooo good and I’m glad we are connecting. Blessings and keep in touch
So glad you are back. I'm also a Stampin' Up demo and I think we sat at the same table during one of our last CentreStages! You are so right and I definitely feel your story will resonate with so many of us. The past two years have really thrown most of us for a loop regardless of what the details are. We've mostly all lost loved ones, been super ill ourselves, and changed jobs (or lost them), homes, etc. These are trying times for a lot of us and you being a Christian helps you immeasurably in my opinion. Lean on God and not your own understanding and for a fellow Type A person, this is tough. I lost my mobility (cannot walk!) in the last two years and you don't realize how much you need others when this is the case. However, it is this way for now for a reason and I must listen to God for my own welfare, just as you did. We all must, and we will all be blessed by doing so. Hang in there, glad you are settled once again and wish you nothing but the best in your reconnection with Stampin Up!
I’m sorry for your loss of mobility. What a gift you give others who can rise and aide you. Boy you are on point with your observations above on our lives. God is so loving and faithful in the midst of these trials and tribulations. I am glad to hear we may have sat near one another at an event. I do pray you are blessed. Thank you for your encouraging and kind words. Blessings and keep in touch.
Hi Jamie! So I was watching card making videos tonight to occupy my mind and your video popped up. Thank you for sharing your story, and for making going tough times be "okay" and know that we CAN get through them. And yes, God is good!
Honestly though, I don't know what's more amazing..... the fact that you chose to come forward and be so transparent by sharing what you've been through (Thank you for that! No doubt, you've helped MANY people by doing so!) ORRRRR the fact you've replied to EVERYONE'S comment! You are a true testament to your faith! All the best to you, your family and your Stampin' Up business! :)
Awww love thank you for these loving words. God is so amazing in all seasons. I pray He uses me and in turn I can connect with and hug (virtually) all who need it (it’s a selfish blessing and that carries me as well). Blessings and keep in touch.
I had know idea who you were, what Stampin Up Is or anything about you until tonight. Be proud of your strength, your faith and your wisdom. I, too, have had crazy stress and you have encouraged me no end. Thanks so very much! Forge ahead and BREATHE!
I’m so grateful that we connected connected! Welcome to the world of paper crafting and our crazy lives LOL. I’m glad you’re along the journey with me. Blessings and keep in touch let me know how it’s going for you.
@@JamieAlbanese Well, I should proof before sending! “No idea” That’s better! You express yourself beautifully, communicate with intention and have helped me to allow the universe to BE and for me to listen. My warmest thanks and appreciation.
@@msocean7895 you are the sweetest!
Hey Jamie, this is the first video of yours that I have watched. I was really touched by your video. I to have been exhausted and going through a lot for the last few years with health, loss of income, etc. I cried listening to you and could sympathize with you. I am so glad that you know the Lord. He is amazing and he is here for us. God bless you sister you have this. Ill be praying for you. With love, Sher
Oh love. What a blessing it is to connect. I pray the Lord refreshes you and blesses you in health and provisions. Blessings.
@@JamieAlbanese thank you so much. That means a lot. You have a blessed night.
You are an amazing inspiration! God bless you!!!
Awww thanks but God is so good. Thank you for your encouraging words. Blessings and keep in touch.
Hello Jamie, nice to meet you I honesty not sure how I got here, but I believe it was for a reason. I needed to hear your story. What a beautiful testimony you have. Thank you for sharing it. I had a crying like a baby kind of day today. Not sure what God wants for me. I took a break from working last October and have been thinking the last week or two of returning. Just not sure what to do. I have prayed, but I feel I haven't given it to him completely. Thank you Jamie for the reminder.I like to say, let go let God. Now I need follow those words. I look forward to following you. I have been crafting, scrapbooking, card making and yes stamping for 18 years. Prayers for you and your family, God Bless you dear Sister in Christ.
Oh you sweet Kathy I pray the Lord meets you in every thought and decision as He gives you guidance, wisdom and discernment. In Jesus name I pray amen. Thank you for the sweet and encourage words. You are a blessing and I look forward to keeping in touch. Blessings.
You popped up on my feed today and all I can say is God bless you and your family.
Awww thank you! May the Lord bless you and yours as well.
I had never heard of you LOL And your video “just happened” to pop up. I thank God for this unexpected blessing. You are wonderful!!!! May God bless you and guide you on your healing journey!!!!! Prayers and hugs!!!!
I’m so glad we are connecting. God is so good. Blessings!
You are awesome. Your transparency is transformative. Thank you.
Thank you for your encouraging words. Blessings and keep in touch.
Jaime thank you for sharing your story. I stumbled on your video and just had to view till the end, it was like a gift from God. I am truly at a crossroad in my Corporate high pressured job and been struggling with walking away for months. I truly appreciated your message and how you put God at the center! Thank you again for sharing!
I pray He gives you wisdom and peace, strength and energy. Stress is something we can lay before Him for wisdom. Blessings and keep in touch.
Thank you so much❣️Blessings 😘
Blessings. Keep in touch.
wow, just found you- what a wonderful lady. Thank you for your heart felt testimony. I can't wait for more of your videos. (glad you got out of CA)
We are grateful and blessed to have left CA as well. God is so good and to Him be the glory as I’m a hot mess. Thank you for your kind and encouraging words. Blessings and keep in touch
Hello, nice to meet you. Glad you have the Lord in your heart and that you are back.
God is so good and thank you for joining this journey. Blessings and keep in touch.
Oh My Goodness!!! What a testimony. I don't know how you shared without crying. You have been through SO MUCH!!
I am a believer also. God is truly in control. I love this quote:
"God is too kind to be cruel
Too wise to make a mistake
And too deep to understand."
May God bless you more than you can imagine and if I order anything on line ,it will be from you.
Oh how sweet of you! And thank you thank you for your kind and encouraging words. God is so good! I’m grateful we’ve connected and look forward to keeping in touch
I’m a demo and have had to pause as well. God bless you and keep you.
May the Lord bless you as well!!
I had never seen one of your videos until today. All I can say is just WOW! 🤯 How you pulled through all of that is truly amazing. Some people believe that God blesses certain people with special individual gifts. If this is so, then in my humble opinion, your gift is the gift of strength! Best of luck to you in going forward. 🙂
Oh wow. Your words and encouragement are a balm to my soul. I do pray that this is a strength He has given me - He covers all of my many short comings - Thank God. Thank you for your show of love. Blessings and keep in touch.
Hi Jamie. I live in Australia but have never heard of you B4. WOW what a journey you have been on. SO much Trauma all at once certainly would have anyone crashing down. I had a breakdown so know what you are saying. Thank you Lord for helping Jamie recover and re join the world in doing what she loves. Wishing you and your family all the very very best
Sending love back to you - down under. Praise the Lore you overcame also. Blessings back to you.
Hello Jamie, I am joining you for the first time. Thank you for sharing. Praying for you and your family.
Thank you for your kind words and prayers. God is so good. Blessings and keep in touch.
I have not seen you before today on UA-cam. What a lovely woman you are and such strength you honestly have. Keep leaning into your faith you are "Blessed". Sharing your testimony in this way I know will help others struggling through life decisions not just those related to Stampin Up. God Bless you and your family.
That is my prayer. Blessings and keep in touch.
Hello jamie , i am a demo and i am stuck and your video spoke to me. I subscribed because I don’t have a upline and i have been a hobby demo but the last few years started do class.But have alot to learn to grow. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your encouraging words. Where are you located?!? I’m glad to connect and offer support if you need as a sister in crafting. Blessings and keep in touch.
@@JamieAlbanese i am in DeSoto Missouri, small town outside St Louis
Hi Jamie…..this is my first time seeing your channel. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I’m glad you did not give up or give in. You are right; God is good. He will always work things out for you. Sometimes we have to stop and let God take over the situation. He will guide you through the journey. Thank you for your honesty and inspiration. I look forward to seeing your crafty videos. Thanks
I’m grateful for your kind words. God is so loving and faithful. Blessings and keep in touch.
Thank you for sharing, you are an inspiration to so many, this is the first time I have watched your video…..God Bless
Thank you for watching. God is so amazing
Wow, Jamie!! Just met you for the first time, and already love you! I’ve been where you are surfacing from-I know exactly how it feels!! I, too, am an over achiever, have worked so much and so hard in times past, that I fell off the cliff before I even realized the cliff was there! Your passion, your words of faith, your loving attitude, your love of things beautiful and happy, all remind me of me😳👍!! I was a full-time Executive Assistant, and worked as an independent consultant for Home Interiors and Gifts for 25+ years, had several recruits to look after, which resulted in my doing in-home shows almost every evening, running wide open from 5:30 am till 12:00 midnight and after, for years, plus serving as a Sunday School Teacher, VBS Director for our church, PTA Secretary, Homeroom Mom Chair, and taking care of my 2 daughters, husband and family!! I absolutely worked myself into a shutdown! I think that’s why I watched your video with such interest and compassion!! You were spot on with all you relayed in your video! I’m now retired, since 2012, and truly enjoying life, grandchildren, family, crafting and all the things I love! Life is so much slower now…something that is sometimes difficult for me, as I ‘thrive’ on the excitement of “too much to do, in too little time😆🙌🏻…but I make it happen!!” Guess I’ll go to Glory still looking to get in one more thing before I go!! 🤦🏼♀️🥰😜I look forward to following you, learning from your crafting talents, and seeing all the great things God has in store for you. The one thing I can tell you from experience, especially, once a person has been where you and I have traveled, is that with age comes wisdom…and, God WILL get our attention, one way or another!! So glad you are on the road to a great new year, and restart with your business! God is good all the time! So happy I found you this evening!! Prayers of love as you go forward!! 🤗💐💕🙏🏻✝️👍
We do sound alike! I’m happy life has shifted for you and wish you the best of blessings in it. Don’t burn out - prayer is key. Blessings! Looking forward to connecting more along this journey.
First time watching you and I want to say welcome back I can’t wait to see your creation and I love your personality. Keep up your spirit up 😉💋

I just found this today. I am one who doesn't like or buy Stampin' Up products, because of the costs. But I was looking for another video, and found YOU! I am impressed with your testimony, your strength that you do have in you, and your family ethic. Please know I understand stress and loss. I will pray, gentle prayers for you, during your season of change.
Thank you for your kind words. God is so good. I love the products and I love the creativity. I am glad we can connect with so many in a variety of ways. Blessings and keep in touch.

I pray you are ok and your family are ok.
Remember to rest , drink water, take every day 10 mins at a time ( no more no less) you are strong.
We are recovering and THANK YOU - what a great reminder. That 10 minute suggestion can help us! Thanks for your encouraging words. Blessings and keep in touch.

What an awesome testimony Jamie. Will keep you and your family in my prayers. I'm going through a rough time right now and God is my strength, my rock, and I give my all to Him. I've just started card making within this past month. It's been a lot of fun. I have subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to following you.
Hallelujah! Wow thanks for your transparency! As Christians if we're not careful....we are deceived by toxic notions that we are suppose to dance in the chaos...No!!! The safest and most restful place is in the will of God! Taking care of yourself..taking it slowww and submitting yourself and what you do unto the Lord--that is POWER! GOING thru the same! Found my peace! And girl! Yes! Get sleep! And I am more careful and strategic when I show up because God's will and ministry is priority! Celebrating you and what you shared!
Yessss! He doesn’t call us to live in chaos. God is so good. Sleep is essential so we can serve more freely. Blessings and keep in touch.
Love you Jamie! I‘m happy to hear your story and look forward to hug you again! 💕
Oh thank you for your encouraging words. Love back to you!! Blessings and keep in touch.
Bless you....I've been a demonstrator for 6 years. I became a demonstrator after my 22 year old sons tragic dirt bike accident...and now this March my dad passed away and I'm a little stuck ..we just finished cleaning out his farm a week ago. You have given me such a positive outlook....I hope to get back to videos in the next couple of weeks. I had just uploaded my first 3 videos just before he passed....Thank you! So glad I chose to watch your video!!
Oh my dear heart!! I’m so so sorry for so many losses!! Stuck is ok. Breathe. Dabble back into it. Pray. Lay your goals out and par them down into meaningful and doable steps. I’m proud of you. Sending hugs!
