Thank you so much Patricia. Those pieces were quite a challenge but I step up to the plate to accept the job and love how they came out. I also I don't burn a fuse, I am running on low right now LOL. God Bless you too.....

I do so much better working to music, it makes me happy happy :o) Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Thank you

Thank you Amanda, I loved how they turned out. The client re'cd them today and she loved them as well so my day has been made :o)

I don't have the sense I was born with. You know what is really funny, I went to school for hairdressing, did that for three days and never did it again after I graduated. I then worked for years in technical support for the internet which was a foreign language to me but I learned and became a technical geek. Now I am retired from that, took on taking care of my precious Grand children and decided to start a business in my spare time LOL. I work while I sleep, now that is a challenge Have a wonderful evening Cindy. God Bless.

Thank you so much Chaundra. I love what I do and I love it even more when I have someone such as yourself gain anything from my babbling on and on LOL. As long as you walk away inspired its a good day. God Bless

Hi Sweet Pris, if it makes you feel any better the answer to your question is no I was not an overnight success. I got a sale the day I opened my shop and was so excited then I didn't get another one for a year LMBO. Thankfully I had a job so it wasn't that important but I stuck with it until I hit what folks were looking for. I worked five years reinvesting everything back into my business until I finally got to a point that it was doing well enough for me that I got to retire from my "real" job. Don't give up if it is something you really want but make sure that what you do is something you yourself would buy, I am referring to quality. Bad feedback is a killer for someone in this type of business. I had folks that didn't discourage me but nor did they encourage me, they thought it was a pipe dream. I have made my family proud of how I did this on my own especially given my age and the technical side of some of the things I had to learn. Keep in mind, I owned my first computer after the age of 40 and believe me I have had to learn a ton, I am from the era of push key typewriters LOL. Don't give up!!!!!!

Thank you Sara...it was definitely a challenge that size.

+cricflix you deserve the congrats because its really awesome project

Thank you so much. I was happy with how they came out. Sure hope the person that ordered them is happy too :)

+cricflix -sure will

Thank you Jane, love how they came out but WOW, it was work to say the least.

Thank you very much.

Thank you Denise. I don't have the sense I was born with so it makes it easy for me to constantly be out of the loop but eventually I get back in and get it done. LOL. I will keep on doing what I do and being who I am!!!!

I look forward to it :o)

Thank you Maria. I love how they came out but I can't say it was easy...quite a bit of a challenge to say the least

Thank you so much and I am so glad you are creating, it does get easier.

on my files that I will be selling I will show how to do these.....that is later down the road since I really need to get the entry level of teaching done first.

Thank you very much...I have to much fun to quit :o)

+cricflix Jill they do sell a print like that cost more I got one not set it up yet

Thank you so much. It was a challenge but I won :o) I was very happy with out they came out now I just pray the person who ordered them is happy too :o)

+cricflix I love your backyard Jill and where you say you get the paper you use on your centerpiece

I don't have one of those or I would be there tomorrow. Do you think I could get them online?

I just finished looking online for them but couldn't locate it. But when I pass by one I could definitely pick some up for you.

Just let me know and I will send you $$ via paypal if you have an account. I would so appreciate that my friend, THANK YOU

Don't worry about it. You do so much on KZfaq for crafters like myself. If I would've found your channel a few months earlier (3 years ago) I wouldn't had to cut out my daughter's center pieces by hand. But because of your tutorials over the past few years I was able to make beautiful centerpieces for my nephew's baby shower this past May.

That is awesome that you are learning the art of creating and not having to do it all by hand, I did that when I first started my business and was using the Cricut. Once I got a Cameo the Cricut stuff is out of here......LOL

I always print using BEST quality on my printer. It doesn't matter what DPI you are using if your printer is set to the default which is typically draft mode.

+cricflix thanks! I'll give it a try. Fingers crossed!!!

You can visit my shop at cricflix.etsy.com. If you don't see what you are looking for just send me a convo, I can make anything and my shop only shows a small amount of things compared to what can be done.

LOL. Thank you for the words of support, it isn't easy but I think folks jump in thinking it is going to be a piece of cake, NOT...it takes practice. I learn something new everyday, and they say you can't teach old dogs new tricks, not true and I am proof. God Bless

Any chance you will disclose the projector that you have for the outdoor movie…wink wink

Yes, LOL, I went downstairs to get the projector and got side tracked by something and totally forgot to grab the projector. I will go get it right now.

I have the box sitting right here and all it says is PROJECTOR , for your private cinema at any environment.....no brand anywhere on the box. Just opened up the box and found the brand, CRENOVA....it works awesome. My Screen is 14 x 11 feet and the projector fills it with a perfect picture. We love it.

Jill, I thank you so very much! You see my husband is in stage 4 renal failure and is on dialysis and on the Kidney transplant list and as a result we cannot be more than 2.5 hours away from home if we are he comes OFF the list! So our Disney trip in February and our yearly trips to Cape Cod with our two children, daughter in law and 5 grandchildren is over until he receives a kidney. So we have gone to the backyard vacation we have an outdoor pizza oven, 36 inch griddle, wok, 3 gas burner range, outdoor oven, many types of grills and smokers, popcorn machine, cotton candy machine and a snow cone machine all so that papa may enjoy his family in the backyard! PLEASE know that you are aTRUE blessing to me and a source of encouragement! My husband and I pray for Kendall since the very first and we hang on to EACH and EVERY blessing that comes in her healing. Also, our own precious daughter is divorced and the challenges and heartache that comes from divorce we both share…So your heart speaks to my heart and I thank my Lord for this thing they call youtube computer silhouette all those things that brought me to you! Love Hugs and Prayers from Farmington CT!

Hola Lucy, me puedes mandar un mensaje desde mi shop, cricflix.etsy.com o si quieres por email cricflix@gmail.com. Ojala que podremos trabajar juntas......Dios te bendiga!

12x18 inch that I order online from Staples. 110 lb weight

All of my pieces done out of 110 lb weight paper do not have a back, the lighter weight paper always as a backing to make them heavier and stronger centerpieces.

So If I use 100 or 110 lb weight don't need a backing, just do the double side with the Popsicle sticks

100 lb I use a backing.

Sorry to keep asking questions but I want to make sure I do it right and it is not a disaster. So use a backing on both images to make centerpieces. I'm making mirrored images so that it will show on both sides.

I am not quite sure if I understand what you are doing or how. I print the image and then I print the flip of the same image so I have two pieces. I then do an offset of the image sized at .05, I cut that out of either white cardstock or black. I cut out two. So then I tape the images to the backing which is the offset piece. Then I place my sticks on one side and when that is done I take the flipped image and glue that on the other side of the sticks. Hope that makes sense.

She has an Epson WorkForce 7620

Glory del I sure do. You can visit my shop a cricflix.etsy.com

Si lo recibi, me puso llorar....BELLA BELLA BELLA, y Kendall le fascina, ella te va escribir una nota. Cuando ella viene mañana ojalá me da un poco tiempo con ella para hacerte una tarjeta. Estamos tan pero tan corrido para acá para alla que no me da tiempo hacer una cosa como comer.LOL. Tengo por lo menos 9 muchachos en me casa diario porque no hay clases y pasan todo el día en me casa. Pero me encanta tanto como hiciste las muñecas. Una pregunta, tu misma pinta los ojos y los acentos en el pelo etc....???? Y como lo cortes??? Tu trabajo es impresionante!!! Gracias con todo me corazón .....Dios te bendiga.

+cricflix hay cuánto me alegra escuchar que les haya gustado fue con mucho cariño , y si todo lo pinto a mano igual lo corto a mano nada de maquina todo 100% hand made

OMG, yo pense que lo hiciste con una maquina. Tu tienes verdadero talento.....BRAVO. Ojala yo fuera así con las manos LOL. Dios te bendiga MUCHO Y MUCHO mas!!!!!!!

Una pregunta, tu haces esas muñecas para vender? A mi me gustaría comprar unas para mis nietos, me encanta tanto y seria bella tener unas para mis otros nietos. Tienes un negocio?

+cricflix si jill , me encantaría mira búscame en Facebook como yoyisfoamworld si quieres me escribes por hay y me dices que te gustaría

I probably made a mistake describing what I meant, no one is taking my videos, they are taking my photos off of my shop and using them. I know that what I do will surely open a can of worms for folks doing exactly what I do but we live in a big world and there is always room for more folks making a dream come true starting a business but get your own camera LOL.

+cricflix ohhhhh! I completely misunderstood. I still can't believe people use your photos. I am so sorry. You are very talented. I tune for all your stories. So Thank you for always keeping us updated.

I did try to block them on youtube but that is not an option. I just have to keep reminding myself it takes all kinds to make this world and perfect it isn't, so I make my life as perfect as I can and let the rest figure it out.

+cricflix it should be something KZfaq can do or something you can do Jill

I know, I ended up turning my radio off....I wish I could get it low so I could listen while I work, I do so much better with tunes running in the background. Sorry about that.

IT was only loud on the first part, I turned my music off after my first section so most of the video is fine. Sure hope you didn't quit and not watch the entire clip :o)

Good, that makes me feel better LOL. Take a project at a time and it will just keep getting easier.
