      It’s about getting fingers in and spreading and move on to brushes and tape and gesso and paint and ink and paper lots of paper book pages and magazines and mail and rice and add stamping without thinking 🤔 and in the end you look and feel so happy!! Every day I write! Always since 14 years old. Then art journal even if I stamp and watercolor paint for at least 1 hour

    I am in the processi of getting rid of my craft room. I got sick of all the buying and needing to have the next best thing. I have stopped watching the videos and I have been happier. I have unsubscribed from a lot of people. There is more to life than having a craft room full of supplies. I appreciate your honesty Marta.

    I think creative people NEED to create. It's why some sculpt, some paint, some sew, some decorate interiors, some garden and some do mixed media. I think it's something in our soul that needs to be released. I have done many things from quilting to oil painting to furniture refinishing. Creative people need to CREATE. We do it for ourself--it feels good and it makes us happy. So thank you for sharing your gift and for sharing yourself. Blessings.

    I love your videos so much. I wouldn't care if you never came up with a new technique, but put out hundreds of videos like this one where you create something beautiful while chatting about life and art. It's relaxing and makes art journaling accessible and fun.

    This past year has been a doozy of a roller coaster for me. A year ago my 34 year old daughter was ran over and ended up with 7 broken ribs, broken collar bone, and a punctured lung. She's doing great now!
    The Day After Christmas last year my mom broke her hip and ended up with treatment that sped up her parkinson's. She passed away in April
    Last Saturday I lost my husband of 32 years From complications of covid pneumonia.
    When my mom died I couldn't cry and I still have a hard time doing it now.. There's just so much that I need to do need to do. I Tend to keep it inside more
    Thank you so much for doing this page. Last night I sat down with my family art journal and started on a page about my husband. Very therapeutic

    Every day I have to remind myself that "this too shall pass". And I am convinced that there will be better days. But it is very hard to remain positive for such an extended period as we have all experienced lately. Mankind is resilient - it may never be "normal" as it was, but things will settle down eventually. And throughout it all, we seek ways of finding a smile and a little break to escape. Your videos are my little break. So thank you for bringing a smile! Janet

    Your tender heartedness is what sets you apart. That open, gentle way you have is why I started following you. The chats touch people, make them feel like there's a friend nearby. It is a gift you have. I've frequently cried along with you, like today. I think we've all been through the wringer, and all our lives have changed more than we may recognise. It'll be a while before we all find a new center again. Keep crafting, keep chatting, keep resting and believing. Love you. From Australia x

    It's wonderful to have you back. I wish you didn't feel like you have to apologize to us for being sick or not up to crafting. I think most of us (if not all) have had to deal with things like that, that are just beyond our control. I love that you chat while you are creating. I am glad that you feel like you can be emotional while talking to us. I have done that while talking to friends and I'm sure your other followers have as well. I mentioned to you a while back that I fell on the stairs and broke my leg. I hadn't been able to get into my craft room for a while and became depressed. I think I cried more in the first two months after my accident than I had in the last several years. Just keep being yourself. That is what we love about you. I love this junk journal layout you have made here. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

    Hi sweetie, it is always good to have you back. We have been under lockdown for a while and craft has been my go to when I hear about what is going on in Australia cause I have two sons and six grandchildren living in the most affected areas in Melbourne and Brisbane. Craft takes my mind, for a while, off what is going on at the moment in the world with COVID-19, wars, protests etc. I lock myself away and just let go. Anyway never never feel embarrassed about showing your emotions, I cry often worrying about this and that and I find it helps. Now as for using gesso, make your own, it’s far cheaper than buying it. Get the recipes for white and clear gesso on u tube, I use it all the time now and have found it just as good as the brought ones. It is so wonderful to see you back again watching you create something beautiful for us to follow, bless you my lovely friend from across the other side of the world. Please keep safe and stay well. Eagerly waiting for your next wonderful video, love to you and your family. 🥰🌺🇳🇿

I feel like every time I get up I get kicked back down. I had bad knee surgery, then my Mom passed away, then I got shingles, then along comes Covid 19 and now my husband is critically ill. We just have to have faith and do our best to stay positive. I’ll pray for you. I love your work.

    Hello Marta!
    My name is Bea. I’m spanish and I live in Germany.
    I’m a spanish teacher and I had many pupils surrounded me. During the covid time I wasn’t able to give lessons. It was very hard for me but I saw that there is always a good side on every crises. I realized that there are so many beautiful things in life. I started to watch some of your videos and I noticed that I’m not the only one that feels bad in this times. But live is changing and I think that we can make it if we believe in ourselves. I like your kind of talking and I am so relaxed when I hear your speaking and doing such beautiful things.
    Yes, I just started, like you called this video, to do crafting. Nobody could believe it. Not even me!
    I just want to say thank you for your motivation and all your beautiful videos.
    I send you a big hug and greetings from Germany!
    Bea 🌸

    Marta, when you talked about being down with low energy, depression, etc, it is world wide, I believe, with this virus! When our Mixed Media Club was able to gather together again, instead of sharing our projects it turned into everyone sharing what the last year has brought to all of us - depression, lack of energy, projects left undone for lack of interest!! tears came, and a loving understanding that we all needed to share our feelings rather than our art at that point. Also, it does SUCK!!

I'm here on Tuesday morning crafting with you - we're in lockdown so you're such a help when we have to stay in.

    Welcome back Marta. Hope you stay well. This last couple of years has turned the world upside down and has created many challenges. Let's pray that it does get better. Am not able to see my family as NSW Australia is in lockdown again so that hard miss them all but crafting has been my salvation. Thank you for sharing your time with us again. I have been a long time watcher of your videos. You actually was my first You Tuber 🤗😘

    I'm glad you're feeling better. You don't have to apologize for taking time for yourself and your family. With everything that's been going on we are all having a hard time with everything. I'm glad that you're feeling more like yourself again. I've also been having a hard time getting my crafts done. I just can't concentrate on anything, or go from one craft to another. I'm not getting anything done. I do have some ideas for some new crafts, so maybe I will get my mojo working. Thank you for your videos. They give me great ideas to try with the limited budget I have. I love your chit chats, and even if you have tears. It just means that you're a loving person and that is why we love you. I'm so glad you are back. Belated birthday to Sammie! Love and hugs. Teresa in Utah.

    Thanks for doing break a blank page again! I first found you in 2017 when I really needed inspiration as I was going through a bad time after my mother passed earlier in the year. You inspired and motivated me to try something new and get out of my dark place. Now I find the pandemic has brought many people into dark places again and I have actually been feeling very unmotivated and needed something to get me going again. You have done it again!! Thank you for inspiring us continuously.

    Marta, Just you sharing your talent with us is helping us. I think this pandemic has all of us emotional right now. It’s very depressing the way the world is right now. It’s actually very scary. But, we’re all in this together. It’s important that we encourage each other. So many people are alone, without families, friends. Hugs are very few and far between. My daughter and her son, my grandson, live in my yard but my husband and I are older and not in the best health. She works in a job where she is exposed to the virus regularly since many people don’t believe they should social distance. So we haven’t seen her for months…only waving in the car. She refuses to bring any germs to endanger our lives. That’s love. But today, she’s crying on the phone because she misses us. That’s hard to hear but we miss them so much. I sure hope things get better so we can visit and hug each other. Imagine the things we took for granted before. I pray that God will keep us all safe. So, Marta, you bless my heart. You’re amazing. Keep sharing whenever you can. God bless you! 💕
