Dislikes

I don’t have any dislikes. Well I avoid the occult. I dabbled in it and I do it recommend messing around with it or my experience was frightening to me. Of course, results may differ for each person but magic, the occult, tarot and all of that stuff in staying away from now.

That said I do accept my own shadow and dark sides.

YouTube

Here are a few of the artists and makers I watch at YouTube:

I’m in shock that Tim Holtz has decided to stop designing new products. (But he is still making videos so that has been good!)

Recrafted by Carol

Meg Journals

Jack Ravi who makes junk journals I’m in love with his style

And Wendy Robinson who goes by the username The Unexpected Gypsy

“Pen pal with me”style videos though they can be a bit in the young side and I’m nearly 60years old…mainly my fav is Hedda aka mochibujo

Caroline on the Hillside

Ana Bondu she works in French mostly and her specialty is Gelli prints

Comment: Thanks! I love bulb flowers, most especially daffodils, but I don't grow them because even a few flakes of their pollen is toxic to kitties :-/ I do grow sunflowers, though!

Comment: I think you misunderstood about "fake old" - what I dislike are psuedo-vintage "ephemera" sold brand-new which really just makes for conventional, cookie cutter crap. I'm all for distressing shit to make it interesting - I have a fine collection of used teabag paper I use for distressing bright, shiny new paper.However, it doesn't appear that you did anything to the stuff you stuck on to "distress" it, but maybe my glasses need cleaning. ~~~~ Sorry about your stepfather - that can be truly painful.
Response: I didn’t want to destroy the whole card but I scratched some of the surface with sandpaper and a chemical to make space to add to the background. I’m glad it wasn’t excessive.

Comment: Thanks so much for your letter! Gnomes do seem to be popular! I'd never looked them up either, but I guess it makes sense that they are elementals! ((Hugs))

Just stopping by to say hi! And I hope you have a nice weekend!

Thanks for your letter that you sent as a reply to one of mine :) I'll reply soon-ish, but I have to stock up on stamps first!

Thanks monsbrick. It was exciting to see the Honk travelling booklet come back again. I especially like your "Kindred spirits" collage work and PrincessLeia's fish art. Thanks so much for sending it home to me.

January Faith sister- Thank you for the snowy postcard! That looks very very cold there in Finland! We are supposed to have insanely cold temps all this holiday weekend 🥶❄️

LadyJo on Jan 4, 2025:

Thank you for the Christmas card with the postcards! This was for the RAK Dec. #2 ! It is always nice to receive mail from you! Now you will receive mail this month for Faith Sister Swap! Be on the look out but it may get stuck around here for a bit Snowstorm coming in for Monday. Not sure the snow amounts, but lots of bad weather in a lot of states. Let me know of any concerns you have, by pm me!

Poohtat on Dec 31, 2024:

Thank you for the RAKs adorable Christmas card and the cute stickers. We did get 5 inches of snow on Christmas Eve so we had a white Christmas. On the 29th it started raining and we had 50 degrees. The 30th was also 50 degrees and today is 48 degrees! No more snow😊
