They are a little expensive, but Michaels and Joann have 40-50% off coupons!! They are worth it.

I will need to look into them. Thank you so much! 💕

Happy belated birthday Cheray! Sounds like you have a pretty great list!

@@LittleBitofCalmCrazy 🤗Thank you🥰

Your stars sound beautiful! Glitter is the gift that keeps on giving! ❤️

@sus8e Thank you for the clamp-on light recommendation. I'm hoping the magnification, plus adjustable color temp & brightness, are just the thing to get me working upright again! :)

You are so right about an exacto knift and tweezers. Merry Chritsmas to you too!

That is awesome! Plus, I love the price!

The Surebonder mats do have measurements on them. I should have mentioned that.

You are so welcome! I am glad you found it helpful!

Another good reason it is the best! Thank you for sharing this!

This is totally off topic, but just too cool not to share! Six years ago, a neighbor found a fledgling raven that was rejected by it's parents because his beak was bent. She called me to take him since I'm retired and crazy about animals. I took care of him for about a month until he could fly. His beak improved but always had a gap which didn't affect his ability to eat. I turned him loose, but he chose to hang around since I put food out for him. When he was a year old, he disappeared for a few days, but came back with his mate (they mate for life). About 3 years ago, I started finding odd things near my doorstep outside my bedroom; an old Casio watch from the 80s, single earrings, porcelain doll arms, and many machine parts and even small wrenches (he's watched me use tools). One day he was cawing with excitement so I ran out to see what was up. He had a small pair of snips in his beak, which he dropped to the ground, then perched at the edge of my roof to watch my reaction. They are a very nice pair of Fiskars sharp-tipped pruning snips, like a bonsai artist would use! I had a similar pruning tool I bought at Dollar Tree but it broke. He must have seen me using it. How smart these birds are! When he's happy, he does a little dance where he hops in circles with his wings out, so I did my best imitation of his dance to show him how much I loved his gift. He responded in kind. I made sure he saw me using them. They are perfect for trimming the manzanita branches I use to make parrot perches, and for poking holes to put grommets in the heavy canvas I use in my goat pen for rain shelter. I named him "Igor", and his mate "Elsa", and have enjoyed their friendship for several years. Last Spring, they built a nest right under my solar panels, and I got to watch their 2 fledgling offspring learn to fly. I appreciate that Igor and Elsa trusted me enough to build a nest close by. Sadly, Igor and Elsa left once their babies were independent. I hope they are well. Good news is, those "kids" stayed here, and since they've always known me, they are even friendlier! I always buy big bags of peanuts for them, and they get the skin and bones from the chicken I cook for my dog. One of them is at my door right now, loudly reminding me that I'm late with their breakfast. I live on 20 acres of mountain wilderness, off-grid with solar/wind power. No neighbors for a mile. My husband left me @ 8 years ago so now it's just me and my 30 yr. old son who is disabled due to schizophrenia. I went 6 weeks once without seeing another human, when my son's illness caused him to require hospitalization. Most people don't understand why I love these ravens, and other wild birds I've met out here, so much they seem like family. Sorry, like I said, completely off-topic except I really do love those Fiskars snips they gave me! One of the most thoughtful gifts I've ever received.

@@LazyIRanch What a beautiful story 💕 Thank you so much for sharing.

I haven't tried the Ott Light. I will look into it. Thank you! 💕

I love using mine for sewing too. Such a great little tool! 💕

It sounds like you have a good set up! I need to check out harbor Freights rotary tool. 💕

Thank you Karyn! I really apprecaite your support! 💕

Thank you Laurie! I hope Santa brought you what you wanted this year! 💕

Glad I could help! Merry Christmas!

Thank you Jean! 💕

Thank you Valerie! I am glad you enjoyed a peak of my craft area. Merry Chritsmas to you too!

Merry Christmas to you too Alma! Thanking for always watching!

@@LittleBitofCalmCrazy you're welcome friend. Thank you.

Game changing! The first time I washed my mats in the washing machine… I wanted to scream for the roof top that this is the best thing ever! 💕

Thank you Cindy! 💕

Oh and my spray painting booth is next level:-)

A spray booth! That is next level. What a bummer about the spray paint handle. I am not using mine much right now… because I spray paint outside and it is just too cold. But I plan to put it to work again in the spring. I may have to try different brands and compare them.

I use up my spray paint, but you should only keep the cans for 2 years.

Oh no! Puppies can get a hold of the craziest things.

Thank you so much Lorraine! The Cricut is expensive, and I hope that it fits in your budget at some point. However, there is still so much you can do without one too. Just keep having fun crafting! It keeps you young! 💕

That is awesome! 💕

I am curious as to why? It would think it be no different that washing them in the sink. I don’t have a septic.. so please educate me.

Good to know. I appreciate you sharing Lisa! I think all good lighting may be an investment.

@@LittleBitofCalmCrazy Thank you 😊 Merry Christmas to you and your family and God bless 🙌

Micro zip sander... that sounds like something I need to look into. As for the miter shears. They are meant for smaller things like popscile sticks. The do require a little force. The thicker the object... the harder it is to cut. 💕

@@LittleBitofCalmCrazy thank you so much!

Sorry you had a bad experience. I don't share anything I don't truly love and use often.

@@LittleBitofCalmCrazy Loved the video. My miter shears has a different shaped blade compared to yours and makes it very hard to cut. Mine is straight across. Yours is curved. I think that changes everything. It might be why the other commenter doesn't like it.

Wow! I have never used the Craftsman. Mine are Gatrol and I love them.

I shared a range of prices in this video. Not everything was expensive. I think long and hard about spending my own money and I don’t share anything without truly seeing its value. I am always trying new things, and if I come across less expensive tools that are worth your money… I will absolutely share them. 💕

Yes he is! 💕

Yeah, let’s not take into consideration the amount of Pagan decoration ideas and rituals that are a part of the Christmas tradition.
