Wendy you are INSPIRING! This project made me cry for some reason. It is so beautiful and I really appreciated Story Time. As a female who was raised by a single mom and as a single woman living alone, I totally related to your feelings about being home without "male protection." Thanks to your post, I am now interested in the world of crafting! Blessings to you and Happy New Year!

Love your ambidextrous rare talent. You could really help children with their fine motor development as many parents have to work and don’t have time. The reservations need people like you and we need the people on the reservations.... they have fantastic cultural traditions. Thanks for your sharing. Wishing you much beauty.💫

Your story of your hubby being gone was inspirational. I believe you are correct, you do get used to having that person around. I was a single mom for 9 years with 4 children and I learned to be very self sufficient.

As a Native American, I so truly appreciate what your husband did and appreciate what you have done to keep your family going during this time. I have never lived on a reservation but do know about these conditions for so many. Our son learned a new appreciation and admiration for linemen when due to circumstances of his job, he was on Galveston Island during Hurricane Harvey. Again, thank you and Che so much. Great card, good color choices. Just became a subscriber.

Wendy, I’m 69 and have never mowed. Someone has always been around to mow our grass. My brother and sister fought over who would get to mow when I was growing up. Then my husband mowed the yard when I was married. Now, my son and daughter-in-law makes sure the grass is mowed. I’m amazed that there are homes in the United States without power. It’s wonderful that your husband is involved in this project. I really love all of these quad-fold and tri-fold cards! Thanks a bunch for all you do!

Beautiful project, and touching story!! Good for your husband and his achievements and also for what YOU are accomplishing, along with him. My son is 38 and an apprentice, climbing cell towers, so I very much related to what you were saying. This is the first video of yours that I've come across, and I'm really glad I did.

What an adorable card! Love the adult conversation too!!!

Love the story. A fund raiser for the Navajo would be a great thing. You never know how much a person does for you until they are not there. Fortunately, your hubby is home. I lost my husband after only 5 years of marriage and I never realized how much he did until he was gone. Hope you and your hubby have many, many more years together.

What a wonderful story..... How great for him..... It's amazing that people in our country are living without power... Bless their hearts

Love your story and your card too. Bless you and your husband for helping everyone.

There was a really neat article in our Sunday paper today about the effort to bring electricity to homes in the Navajo nation. It’s an Associated Press article and I could bring it up online when I did a google search on “Navajo electricity “. Kudos to the both of you for supporting this effort. When there is so much need in our country for basic services that we can take for granted, how good to hear what you had to say.

Wendy thank you for sharing all your experiences!

I know exactly what your talking about, my husband was a truck driver and I did ALL the things you said. Its a crazy life, cool card and the story about what he does was wonderful, sometime we don't think about people who do without here in the USA let alone in other parts of the world, thank you

Thanks for sharing. I know what its likes not to have power for 6 months, because of the hurricane in Puerto Rico. Lots of men came from the states to install lines for electricity. Great jobs these men are doing. Love your card I will definitely do one. God bless.

I understand what you are saying about women being able to take care of ourselves. I think more women need to become more familiar with weapons. I was 35 years old when I joined the military (Army) and everyone I was in Basic Training with were 18 years old and they all thought that I was with CID (Criminal Investigative Division) and that I was undercover. It was sooo funny!!!! Oh the card was great. 👍👍👍 Take Care. ~Barbara

I love your card. What a great story, I'm glad he's home and had a wonderful experience.

It is great to watch you and listen to your stories.

Your snoring dog cracks me up!

Wonderful Card Wendy! Thank You for your video! What a great gratification for not only your Husband but your whole family in sharing this wonderful experience with him! Grats! God Bless You all!

Hello Wendy, thanks for this idea and thanks for sharing this story with us. I always love to hear about your life. I am from overseas and it is hard to believe, that some people in the US, in the year 2019, still without power. The Navajo area is a heaven's place on earth and I was fortunate to travel there several times. What a great experience for your husband. Bless you and your family!! A fellow demonstrator from Germany.

Love the card, that stamp set is one of my favourites from the new catalog. Well done on your donation, that’s wonderful of you and your colleague. Kudos also to your husband for his work, it’s a very worthy thing he’s doing. 💐👍

Love this card. Great story.

Well that was really cool from the card to the Navajo experience, really interesting. Thanks for sharing your stories with us. That DSP looks better every time I see it.

Wow! Great story! And beautiful paper!

I love this card! I seldom make pre-fab cards, but I love this card. My cards are all different, but with this one I will probably make 5 of them to send to friends. Thanks for the video.

Love this card and the story!

Hi, What a fantastic story ! So uplifting with a happy ending ! I’m with you when my husband is away I don’t sleep great ! God is good ! And He always puts His hedge of protection upon me 🥰love ur project

Hello, I came across your channel. Beautiful story. Thanks for sharing. Love your work.

Love the card and a lovely story.

Oh my gosh I belly laughed when the dog started snoring. Love it!

Love this card; lovely color combination using that DSP!

Oh my goodness. Love the card & your story.

First time I watched you and I’m addicted! You great! Love how you made the card look so easy!! Need the wish stamp!!!

Love your story also your craft

Such a cute card! Thanks for sharing so much as you do!

That is awesome what you are doing. I subscribed because I feel like it is the least I can do to try and help. God bless you and thank you for teaching us the Tri-fold card. My husband retired from the military so I understand about separation. He was in 20 years and we were separated a lot of the time due to him being sent to different bases for training , for months at a time.

Great Card tutorial! Blessings on all your family in helping others! The Navajo Honor their elderly so the young can laugh all they want...LOL... He is most likely the most respected "older" person there! (even though he has not reached the Elderly title yet at 44!!!) TFS!!!

Totally enjoyed! Blessings to you and your family.

cute card! I love how you used the paper! I am almost 60 and have never mowed the lawn! so good for you!!! :)

You are a sweetheart. There is so much love in your heart, you make this world a better place. Please get this fundraiser started, it will snowboard, these poor people are waiting and praying for help but have nothing to connect to the world. What a terribly sad story. Please let us all send card to the government, they make so much tax money off the casinos, surely that money can be returned for them. You get it started, please, we’ll support and spread the links.

Love this project.......❤️

Wonderful story.....Oh and love the card too!

Wow, I have always seen these and thought they were super complicated, but you made this so simply. I want one! Hm..all my papers may finally have another use XP😋😋

I actually like watching your video. The story made it interesting.

What a wonderful story and project. I subbed to your channel.

Great card and I enjoyed the story about your husband. I didn't understand what his job is called, I am German. I have been married for 19 years and I am appreciating my hubby more and more because I have bad knees and can hardly walk. He is self employed and works long hours but he now has to buy groceries and help me in the home. I still work fulltime but I work 4 days from home. I know exactly what you mean in your message! Hugs from a fellow demonstrator in Germany, Nicole

Love the card. Really loved your story. if you do a fundraiser I would like to be included. I am looking forward to getting my kit for the PEHT fundraiser. Thank you for all that you do in sharing your talent.

Love your "card" the story you told us. I don't understand what his job is but I understand he did a great job for peolpe in need. Bless you both!!! Anneke, Rotterdam, Netherlands

SOOO cracking up over the snoring dog. 😁 😂 😂

Love this project. It is easy to follow. However, I am intrigued by your wonderful stories! I think a fundraiser for the Navajo would be wonderful. Also, thank you for the link re: human trafficking. It's a terrible situation that needs to be eradicated. Glad your husband is home safe and sound!

this card is awesomely cool. I can see tons of applications.. I get the hubby gone. I was a military wife. My Hubby after 20 years of active duty, with what is called TDY's. Just to get out to a job that he travels even more often as a network architect. His job takes him out for about one week out of every month, these next few months more like a twice a month creating an entirely new set up for the client. I am so glad he does not install things anymore.. they are even more on the road...

I do so enjoy your stories 😁 AND your cards 😁

Well done to you and Wendy on your humungous effort to help end human trafficking! Also well done to your wonderful hubby - 'Chi' - for his 'bus man's holiday' / job in connecting power to the Navaho (sp?) Reservation in Arizona. The 'Appreciation Dinner sounded amazing ~ would have loved to have been there! I hope - no - I expect that you've made him his favourite dinner & desert / cake - enjoy having him home again! 'Absence makes the heart grow fonder' and all that! Congratulations on getting to your late 30's before having to mow your lawn - I think I was 10 when I first handled a mower! I love these trifold cards/mini albums ~ they make great wedding invitations too! ;) I'm luvin' the 'Mosaic Mood' Specialty Designer Series Paper - lots! Mosaicking is a favourite craft of mine! In the Summer though - because it's definitely an outside craft/hobby/art! Tfs ~ C ~

Great story of independence, appreciation and understanding of separation in a relationship. Having grown up in a fishing community parental separation is not a new thing. As we like to say, that's life just muddle through it and everything will be alright. Dad gave up going to sea when my older sister was born. And he had land jobs after that. I swore I would never marry a fisherman,, I married a fisherman! He would be gone seventeen to twenty-one days at a time. And like you things had to be done. I just did them, no thought just did them. Sometimes people forget what they are capable of doing. There are no gender roles here. You are faced with a task and it is best to try your best. Hugs to you and hubby. And I love that you talk with us while you craft. We can follow with our eyes as well with our ears. This is your thing. God love ya, and that is why I stay subscribed.

So cool--the card AND story time!!!!!

love this, thank you for sharing :)

I will donate to support those people when you get the details🙏🏼

New to this. I wish you explained what you were doing and told me what you were using so I know what I need to do this

Hi! I enjoyed your projects and your story even more. I hope Ché comes homes real soon. It doesn't really matter what age you decide to start your career or start something new. I mean to me it doesn't matter. What matters is that you do what you love and go for it. Thank you for making it it known you have a gun. Now the bad guys will definitely not be stopping by your house. They'll say to each other, "Oh no! This is the lady that has a gun. Let's try that one over there." LOL! Take care and have an awesome day. 🙋‍♀️ P.S. You made a subscriber out of me. Happy Crafting!

Can we still purchase the PDF? I don’t know why I was thinking it was available the entire month of May!

I love the dog❤

This would be a great cause

Beautiful story and card ❤️ I just subbed 💜 I will continue to watch all your lovely videos 💗 Tfs 🎀Margaret from Florida 🌴 🌴

Please supply link to this die….

Sorry but I don't see the link to donate to the human trafficking effort. Can you still add it? Thanks.

How can you work and talk at the same time? That wow's me! I'd rather cut grass than clean house. Love the card!

Yep..alot of women live alone and do all things. My dad passed away and my mom relied on him so much that she can't do anything. I'm impressed with women and men who do all things. Please...take my advice and learn how to do all things. This stuff is hard to learn and do when BAM you are 75 yrs old and your husband is gone. Plus you don't want to have to pay someone to do every little thing. You either gotta be rich to pay people or do it yourself. Seriously. ..think about that stuff and start learning how to DIY. Best wishes and Great Future Luck!

Love this! It will make a wonderful gift with gift cards and coupons for those special ones in your life. I never thought about not having someone in my home with me to “protect” me from harm. I live alone. So everything is up to me to do. LOL. no gun, I may shoot myself. lol

Mvto~(thank you my tribal language) tell your husband!

Buddy No! lol

because i live in a house and have my desk in the front room i have too wear headset just to hear videos , and i have very good hearing and all of a sudden a DOG BARKS IT IS HARD ON THE EARS SO NO I WILL NOT DEAL WITH IT SORRY HAVEING PET IS GREAT BUT PUT THEM IN ANOTHER ROOM WHEN RECORDING

Tell your husband thank you for the life change discussion he made in life. God have blessed you with a wonderful men in your life, and for home to get the opportunity to do this for the Americans Navajo Indiana is a great. The way you sound when your husband told you this you was totally surprised nothing again you People wake up do you not no your history and what the White men did to these Natives America Indian I will stop now we are here to do cards not this I get real upset 😡 when I start talking about the real Americans History for who was here first and it was not that Christ Columbus they was already here , him on other hand got lost in a storm that how they came to lands in America read the true story Prince Pocahontas and her husband who was a English of the first colonial history. I’m sorry love the video and I love your story I would love to help if you do something for them but the government is totally wrong when they took the power away from them the way they did you and your family are Highly Favorite and Blessed my God he have you proctor for what you husband is doing his name change is honestly

Too much talk? AWESOME ideas tho..had to fast forward a bit
