I got it too. Could not resist the good price for it. Though I honestly don't need more Christmas stuff.

I love pattern paper and have tons of 6×6 paper pads. I am trying to use them more in my cardmaking. Any suggestions of youtubers who use a lot of pattern paper or solely pattern paper in their cardmaking? Need some inspiration.

I think Scrapendipity Sfrapbooking store in Calgary sells Kindred stamp sets and you can order them from their website. If there are specific stamp sets, you can contact the owner and she will order them for you. The owner is very nice and accommodating.

Joblackford, can we see some pictures of the cards you make with 6x6 paper pads and Doodlebug? I just got into Doodlebug and making cards and donating to them to kids in hospital...mostly encouragement cards.

I cannot remember where I read it, but there was a theory that JM decided not show a tour of her craft room because Sandy Allock made a comment that some crafters felt they needed to have these expensive craft rooms due to crafting YTubers and she tried to reassure people that they can be creative without the fancy equipment or huge crafting space and to work with what they have or can afford. Later, JM released a video of her craft room the same time as KW and Kathy R and that they wanted to show the different "styles" of craft rooms. I used to be a huge JM fan but lately her videos are so long and I feel as though it is more about selling products than the actual techniques. But in reading the comments below her videos, her fans really like her long videos. I also may have been turned off by JM's loyalty to the MISTI, especially when someone asked if she could do a review of the TH stamping platform and other similar tools, and she responded that she was really happy with the Misti and was not planning to use any other similar tools. Interestingly, she promoted several different die-cutting machines, inks etc. Yes, her video on her "favorite stamps and dies of 2018" had items that she has never used yet but still made the list. Honestly though, I do admit the less videos of JM I watch, the less likely I buy crafting supplies I suddenly feel I need. She is a great salesperson. I agree with others that the comment by the viewer to KW's voice is uncalled for but she could just take the high road and delete it and not give any attention to it since it seems to be just a random hateful comment that should not be taken seriously. KW's decision to post about it tells me she has insecurity issues, and knew that her fans would defend her and re-affirm "how wonderful" she is. She got what she wanted.

Thank-you to OP for bringing this up because I am pregnant right now. I was concerned about being updated with my vaccinations, but after reading this thread, will ask soon to be grandparents and spouse to check on their vaccination records. I didn't even think about family members until this thread. Thanks again!

Didn't they in previous years, had more instructors like Tim Holtz and Jennifer McGuire?
If I was rich, maybe I can afford $699 for a weekend of "creating". Was it this much last year? Someone post on FB, that it usually sells out in hours but this year, after a couple of days, it still hasn't sold out. Someone else did comment that there may be more tickets this year though.

I am happy to read that I am not the only one that gets annoy with youtubers who just go on and on, repeat themselves, disorganized etc. I am watching to learn about the technique or how the card is made, I rarely care about what is going on with the rest of your life. Also my attention span is 5-10 minutes. Go longer than that, you most likely have lost my attention. Also, how many people are clicking on videos that are 45 minutes and longer?

I think I made a mistake in posting this thread topic. I respect my friends how they deal with their problems. I am not being judgemental. But "thanks" to the people who think I am. I am going to leave it at that.
Friendships changes, and I am slowly accepting that.

You keep in touch with the people that you want to. I just met up with a few friends, who I thought were close and good friends, and realized that we have not met up for over 3 months. We live in the same city. One friend was sick for 2.5 months and did not tell us about it. Another "had a bad summer" so refused to reply to any of our messages or phone calls. Did not tell us about it either. I felt like screaming out during this dinner, "what the hell kind of friends are we?" I feel that friendship is a two way street, so if I share my worries with you, you can do the same. Obviously, this is not how these friends are. I am coming to this realization right now.

Thanks for doing this. There is another one in Calgary: Scrapendipity. A lot of stuff and the owner is very good at getting the latest collections. She will also order stuff in for you if you don't see it there. Great customer service! Paper and Ink Boutique is awesome too! She stocks local Canadian companies too.

The front is OK but OMG, the inside of house hurts my eyes. I would not be able to live in that house. It is an overkill to my sensory system. How does someone relax in a house with so much bright colors, and weird designs? I agree with another OP, I would buy the property for the land and just tear down the house and build a new one. This is the first real estate listing on this forum that had made me want to post my opinion about it.

I totally agree with you. One of my friends, who used to work at an LSS store, that companies do give "gift cards" to "influencers" to buy products in their stores, and to some "influencers" the products are then "purchased" by them. Therefore, their opinions are "honest". I have no problem with people that get products from companies but just be clear about it.

I thought the pattern paper was beautiful and wanted to get more but for 12 6x6 sheets it was $10.99. A little too rich for my blood but I keep thinking "they are so beautiful" . Totally still on my wish list. Simon Says Stamp usually have a 25% off their products 3-4 times a year so if you can wait, I would get the die for the stamp then. Though $35 US? It sucks that our Canadian dollar is so bad that the SSS kits are costing me $50 Canadian.

I have watched a few YT hauls, and I enjoy them mostly, but what I dislike is hauls, where the person does not indicate whether they got the item for free or not. I want to know what items the person actually bought because that is more indicative to me what craft supplies the person really wanted. The "big name stars" such as Jennifer McGuire and Kristina Warner are very good at indicating what was sent to them and what was purchased. Other people are not. I am not "trashing" anybody but just stating I would like transparency. In the end, I've decided to stop watching people who are not transparent about their hauls. Also I think it is suspicious when a person "buys" an exact same die set that they already have from a different company (which they used in previous videos) (ie. Wonky rectangle dies). Vent over now.

You still have a choice...get help and support. I work in mental health, and research studies showed that suicidal ideation come and go. Sometimes, we (mental health professionals) keep people "safe" until they are no longer "suicidal" . I know that sometimes life is SO bad that suicide feels like the only option, but at that point you need to tell someone, and realize that you will not feel this bad forever. Sometimes, you need to concentrate on living the next minute then the next minute.
Also, research studies have shown, no matter what you think, your loved ones will be traumatized for the rest of their lives. It also increase their risk for suicide too. Some loved ones will never come to any peace with your death. Don't think that you not being there will make life "easier" for them or they will "get over it" . Some loved ones will never overcome this trauma.
Life is hard and unfair, but there are still good moments to come. If anybody is suicidal, please tell someone or phone 911. You may feel that ending your life right now is the "best thing" but you may not feel this in a couple of hours and / or days.
I have depression and I have had really bad days, and on those days, I really concentrate on just getting through the next 10 minutes then the next...
