Thank you Kiggles ! I do agree, it is so important to have an opinion and a point of view , it seems like all the division is an attempt to silence us from speaking up. Speaking in love and respect is the hard part but it is vital!
I think, too, that others don't know what you have been thru or going through so good to step back and think of a different point of view. One of my favorite books is The Four Agreements. It may have nothing to do with you so don't take it personally. The last few years have been hard on everyone.
“I like to make things pretty because it makes me feel like I’m contributing something good in a world full of things that I can’t fix” Debi, that was a beautiful and so accurate quote! I don’t think I’ll ever forget that.
I think you have one of the most precious, and honest personalities I’ve ever encountered. I think you make us all feel like you’re the best friend we wished we’d had. Shine on, Sweet Soul❤️
I watched this with my morning coffee. Your story telling is 2nd to none. And Marie has never looked better! Gorgeous. Show stopping work! I think you really outdid even yourself on this one! Love it!
It's hard to not be offended as an artist. You're baring your soul in a lot of pieces. Artists are known to be their own worst critic and then along comes someone who affirms all our self-criticisms. The fact that you're successfully dealing with 'problem' customers now, means your self-confidence has grown a lot since that time. Whatever you do, you always knock it out of the park, Debi! Much love from Nova Scotia!!
Been a long time since I have seen any of your projects I was so excited when I got your alert Hope you will find time in your busy schedule to do more (from NewZealand) PS wish we had your paint and Jamie Ray products available here I have been able to buy a few papers in Australia
Turned out beautiful! Not my personal style, but I could see this in my sisters house! To bad people can’t appreciate other peoples styles. I enjoy going to others homes and seeing their different styles. It’s like going on a vacation to a different atmosphere. I would have really loved if you would have put the cake piece on here so we could see it. You have a very unique style!
Boy, oh boy, could I ever relate to this particular chapter. I had a shop for 20 years - filled with antiques and one of a kind things that I created. I bought a doll bed from the 1890s and I made 22 mattresses from vintage fabric to make a princess and the pea bed from the fairy tale. One hundred people asked me if they could just buy one mattress. I have been through a lot of things that you have been through with owning a shop. I certainly understand. I put my building on the market in the middle of Covid and it sold within 6 hours. Just a lucky fluke really. You are a fabulous artist and creative person. You are going to go far. I adore the Marie Antoinette dresser.
Gorgeous piece! I am 70 and after a lifetime of insults I now just say or think to myself "...but nobody died." That puts it into perspective. Like the old saying, "don't sweat the small stuff...and its all small stuff." Just because they are upset doesn''t mean we have to be too.
Years back I had a booth in an art show and some ladies came by, seemed to be admiring the clothing I had made. One of them asked the price of a dress and When I told her she put the piece back on the rack and said loudly to her friend "We can get something just like this at WalMart" and then looked at me and I said "Okay" and smiled at her. She was so offended and they walked off. LOL The final piece you created is absolutely stunning and I am SO INSPIRED!!!😍❤️❤️💖🌞🙏🏻🌸🌸Thanks for sharing your process and your unfortunate experience. 🙏🏻💖
I see all the influence you pulled from for this piece & then you Debi'ed it up all fun. It looks great, I love that you used so many layers of different products.
Hi Debi ! This is absolutely magnifique! I am actually in France right now with my mom, we just went to Versailles last Thursday. Today is our last day in Paris then home to New Jersey. This piece makes my heart sing! I was telling my mom that as soon as I get home I was going to paint a side board that I have been hoarding to commemorate our mother daughter trip to France. We also went to Giverny and Monet's garden. I hope you had a chance to go there as well when you were in France , a painters dream!
The pictures from your trip to France are always so stunning! You definitely captured a bit of Versailles with the cameo construction and the moulds on this lovely dresser! And the Golden Ticket is pure opulence! No wonder you are sooo good at piecing the moulds and transfers and decoupage papers together so originally…. All the seashell gluing 👏🏻💖👏🏻💖👏🏻! I love it!
I love your stories! That's part of what got me hooked a few years ago. I think my favorite piece that you did was the seahorse dresser! You always surprise me with your creativity!
I wish you did more videos. Just love your creativity process. A fan. Washed you for a long time. I do not make comments often. Love your stories too and supported family. They are great.😃
I absolutely love this piece you created ,don’t stop being the best creative artist that you are, the people who are rude and criticise don’t deserve to own a piece of your work 🥰🥰
You are such a unique person and artist and I love the authenticity that comes across in your process and story. There isn't another one who is as colorful and truly touching as you. Love your art and love your style. Love that you are you. Being authentic is a rare and attractive quality! PS. Would love to be able to purchase your products from retailers in Europe!! Happy new year!
I love how you just throw paint around and tell your beautiful stories and your end result is always always amazing may God bless you wish I had half your telent.
I discovered you last night. I think I'm in love? You are amazing! And I'm all for throwing rude people out. The beautiful things we make don't need to be exposed to that negative energy. 😁
You are my kind of artist. You are quirky and unafraid to try anything. I’ve followed you for years and glad to have found you again. I saw you make your famous seashell chandeliers. It was so inspiring. I love your seashell cake story. You are a good story teller ❤️🎶. Your Marie Antoinette dresser is wonderful.
I appreciate you with your visions, creativity, uniqueness , your life story telling and insight. You truly are inspring to do better and be better. Thanks for sharing
Went to France w. My husband a few times, his parents lived there. Your dresser is very french looking, great job, really like the way you mixed all the different things together, don't worry about the ones who poo-poo on ur talents. There are plenty of people who will like this.
I feel like this is more you than any of the others i've seen as far as your love for Versailles! It looks REALLY good.. that pink in her Marie's hair really gives her that whimsical flair that she was and the gold cameo made it perfect! BEAUTIFUL piece
I always love your stories Debi, and I love your humility. It is a virtue not many of us possess these days. And by the way, your dresser is beautiful. God bless you!
WOW!!!😍 You are absolutely amazing, Debi!!! This piece is stunning!!! I just adore you and your creativity! And I love the way you make your videos. Always something interesting and entertaining to talk about!!! Well done, girl!!!
love your furniture art, do not stay always for the stories in between, but i immediately though that you were inspired by kacha and Versailles, your work with molds is amazing :)
DEBI!!! This video is so inspiring! I love, love, love this video! I also love this piece. It’s very different from what you usually do. I’m pretty eclectic myself. Wonderful to see your art grow in new directions. Bravo👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I have loved your work from the first time I saw your video, but I did not like all your talking,because I just wanted to see you working on your furniture. But as time went by I started to love your stories. Because They are all a lesson in life! Your a wonderful artist and a wonderful person. You are a true blessing. Thank you!
Absolutely Stunning I think in one of your life times you were french. Wow you really inspire me I gave up painting furniture this past year because people don't care or appreciate the amount of time and work that goes into each piece. They don't want to pay a fair price. Now I'm growing my own food but after seeing this I'd love to paint furniture again. I love your diary stories. Never Stop❣️
Love the dresser, love your video format, love your style! Not only did I find this inspirational, I found it calming to watch the project come together. Your share about the customer mixed in with the project steps is brilliant and feels like a bonus gift! I think you are the epitome of a creative soul - keep doing YOU! (Wish there was a “love” button instead of just “like”.) 💖
I listen and watch your videos as I paint. I feel like I have people with common interest hanging out with me. Lol I feel like u r telling me to break loss and don’t worry about the outcome it can always be changed. Thank you for the education and sharing your life with us. I laugh ! would love to get together with u all and have a cocktail and laugh then get up the next morning and paint! ❤️
I'm proud of you for standing up for yourself and your work, offended or not lol I lived in CA for a few years and I was young when I started working in a store in orange county. This old guy told my boss I just ignored him and didn't help him. I was on the phone with another customer and mimed "I'll be right there"...when I finally got to him I tried to explain I was talking to a customer (at this point I didn't know he had already been bitching about me because he could clearly see I was busy) he tells me to shut up before I get in anymore trouble. People like that don't care if they're hurtful or not so good on you!
today i am inspired to speak , ive been watching your videos for some time and giving things a long think . in a *colour inside the lines* world you have broken through and created work with freedom of form its expressive and joyous in a world that can strive to be stifling and restrictive . *encore!*
LOVE THIS!! I love your spicy attitude... yet you know when to pull back... we take our creativity seriously and put our hearts and passions into things. Keep being you!❤️
This piece is absolutely the most Gorgeous piece I ever saw, wonderful job and as usual, fun to watch. Take care, keep having fun crafting and please stay safe!
Lauren, thank you💕 I try to post a video at least every 10 days if I can. UA-cam doesn’t always notify my subscribers. If you want to get on my text message list it’s totally free. Text me at 858-240-1577 and say please notify me when you post a video. I will add you to my list :-)
My personal preference tends to simple lines and understatement. However, when I feel the need for bright, colorful exuberance, I watch one of your videos and listen to your stories. You provide the "POP" my daily life sometimes needs. Thank you.
I miss your videos and your stories ,glad your back at it P.S. I always liked your song at the end when you dance hope you bring it back to your end of your videos 🥰💕
You do beautiful work. Ahhhh yes, 'constructive criticism" at its finest. No one wants to be told "its ugly", I would have said, "God bless you, I love you too" and spun him around and gently nudged him right out the door and slammed it behind him . hahahahaha! Your so cute Deb. I love the dresser. when you first start out I never know what its gonna look like but I am always in awe at what you can all do.❤
Lovely piece! I think being offended is important. You need to be respectful but it’s also important to present a different point of view
Thank you Kiggles ! I do agree, it is so important to have an opinion and a point of view , it seems like all the division is an attempt to silence us from speaking up. Speaking in love and respect is the hard part but it is vital!

I thought the exact same thing!!!
I think you have one of the most precious, and honest personalities I’ve ever encountered. I think you make us all feel like you’re the best friend we wished we’d had. Shine on, Sweet Soul❤️
I watched this with my morning coffee. Your story telling is 2nd to none. And Marie has never looked better! Gorgeous. Show stopping work! I think you really outdid even yourself on this one! Love it!
Me too. Watching now at 8.30am while I drink my morning cuppa☕

Thanks Judy♥️ I try to do as many as I can, I love making them. They take a lot of time to do❤️
A work of art. It should be in a gallery!!!!! Love the background music.
Turned out beautiful! Not my personal style, but I could see this in my sisters house! To bad people can’t appreciate other peoples styles. I enjoy going to others homes and seeing their different styles. It’s like going on a vacation to a different atmosphere. I would have really loved if you would have put the cake piece on here so we could see it. You have a very unique style!
What a beautiful dresser! Most of all it was a beautiful video: funny, sad, creative, inspiring, words of wisdom!
You truly have the most unique channel. Your creativity, music you choose and your story telling is pure gold.
Thank you, so happy you like them 💕💕💕
*robstrck8...AGREED❣️*
It’s fantastic. You are a visionary!!
Love you paper and the new paint is a dream!!!
It’s just stunning !!!
This is Grandma from Texas Debi. I just love you and every thing you do. Thank you for sharing. 🙏
I so love the diaries, I’ve missed them. These stories are so wonderful to get our minds back on track.
Thanks Lecha ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Boy, oh boy, could I ever relate to this particular chapter. I had a shop for 20 years - filled with antiques and one of a kind things that I created. I bought a doll bed from the 1890s and I made 22 mattresses from vintage fabric to make a princess and the pea bed from the fairy tale. One hundred people asked me if they could just buy one mattress. I have been through a lot of things that you have been through with owning a shop. I certainly understand. I put my building on the market in the middle of Covid and it sold within 6 hours. Just a lucky fluke really. You are a fabulous artist and creative person. You are going to go far.

We also went to Giverny and Monet's garden. I hope you had a chance to go there as well when you were in France , a painters dream!
How wonderful! Monet’s garden was my favorite part!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Gosh I have missed your masterpieces and your stories!
The pictures from your trip to France are always so stunning! You definitely captured a bit of Versailles with the cameo construction and the moulds on this lovely dresser!

I love the details of your creative process interspersed with the stories! Amazing! I'm always hanging on to the next part!
I wish you did more videos. Just love your creativity process. A fan. Washed you for a long time. I do not make comments often. Love your stories too and supported family. They are great.😃
I absolutely love this piece you created ,don’t stop being the best creative artist that you are, the people who are rude and criticise don’t deserve to own a piece of your work 🥰🥰

I've watched this video 3x and every time it just gets better. I just watched your stunning video using dried up paint on a dresser..Mind bending.❤️
Your creativity just amazes me! Beautiful piece!!!
Serves that guy right, good for you, he doesn't deserve that masterpiece! I love love that dresser it's magnifique!!!
Absolutely amazing video, a piece of furniture worthy of Versailles
I love how you just throw paint around and tell your beautiful stories and your end result is always always amazing may God bless you wish I had half your telent.

I feel like you nailed the French feel! So pretty, so artistic! And so ballsy of you to grab that top cake tier and claim your ground! ❤️
Went to France w. My husband a few times, his parents lived there. Your dresser is very french looking, great job, really like the way you mixed all the different things together, don't worry about the ones who poo-poo on ur talents. There are plenty of people who will like this.
Bless you, sister, the spiritual shows in your work and words. Thankful for you.
I feel like this is more you than any of the others i've seen as far as your love for Versailles! It looks REALLY good.. that pink in her Marie's hair really gives her that whimsical flair that she was and the gold cameo made it perfect! BEAUTIFUL piece

I have so missed your videos. So happy to get to see this one. Made my morning! Beautiful work. Regards from Cape Town South Africa.
I loved your story in between the making of your beautiful dresser!!! So beautiful!!!
You are so inspiring, so refreshing. God Bless that bird!
Absolutely Stunning I think in one of your life times you were french. Wow you really inspire me I gave up painting furniture this past year because people don't care or appreciate the amount of time and work that goes into each piece.

Thank you Lynne, I hope you keep creating , we are meant to share our gifts , xo
Loved the dresser and the story. I put plastic bags on my mirrors with rubber bands and it stops the bird problem.
Love the dresser, love your video format, love your style! Not only did I find this inspirational, I found it calming to watch the project come together. Your share about the customer mixed in with the project steps is brilliant and feels like a bonus gift! I think you are the epitome of a creative soul - keep doing YOU!

First.. JUST BEAUTIFUL! I love it and you! Secondly. did you ever sell the hatbox cake?
I think so, it was over 10 years ago. I probably eventually lowered the price a little bit after the guy made me snap lol 🤷🏻♀️
So inspirational!!
That is beautiful Debi!!! You are so gifted!!
Stunning! Your videos are always so wonderful, motivational, and inspirational.
Wow! What a beautiful piece. Love your attention to detail.

Good to see another project video, Debi. Sending much love from Australia 🇦🇺
WOWZA! Absolutely beautiful, Deb!
Gorgeous! Wow! Makes me want to go thrifting for a dresser or chest of drawers! Very inspiring! 💃💐💃

Such a beautiful dresser & even better the quote!
today i am inspired to speak , ive been watching your videos for some time and giving things a long think . in a *colour inside the lines* world you have broken through and created work with freedom of form its expressive and joyous in a world that can strive to be stifling and restrictive . *encore!*
thank you Rebecca! You words are an art form, xo appreciate you watching.
Absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Much love from a fellow "Marie" lover!!
I love your projects.. they're all fabulous and inspirational
The dresser is absolutely beautiful and the teaching that goes along with it is timely and wonderful. I love you, Debi...see you there.Frances

You are a joy to watch and you make me laugh with your great stories!💜👍🏼
Sooo incredibly beautiful

You are AMAZING! I could totally envision this at Versailles.
Thanks Patti, Versailles was incredible 💕
Enough was enough! But I love this piece!! Looks Beautiful and I agree about the beauty.
I miss your videos and your stories ,glad your back at it P.S. I always liked your song at the end when you dance hope you bring it back to your end of your videos 🥰💕
The dresser came out gorgeous! So unique!
I really like the way you placed all the clay appliqués around the dresser. The gold paint is so beautiful 🤩
You do beautiful work.
Ahhhh yes, 'constructive criticism" at its finest.
No one wants to be told "its ugly", I would have said, "God bless you, I love you too" and spun him around and gently nudged him right out the door and slammed it behind him . hahahahaha! Your so cute Deb.
I love the dresser. when you first start out I never know what its gonna look like but I am always in awe at what you can all do.❤
