I love that you left white paces in the tree!

I got my brushes from your craftamo set delivered the other day and I love them. My favorite one is the big cat tongue. Unfortunately, just because I have a great set of brushes, doesn't mean I'm making great watercolor cards. It's so frustrating watching everyone on KZfaq painting these beautiful "easy" watercolor landscapes, but every time I try to do them, mine don't look good at all. But they say practice makes perfect.

Establishing 3 points for your tree triangle simplifies the approach as does organizing all your greens. I might have to mix up a few ahead of time. Gifts under the tree...yes! Anticipation was a big part of Christmas for me as a child....what was in that big red box? Thanks for the memory and the painting lesson. ❤

Bonjour Diane , ils sont bien tous les 2 tes sapins , mais je prefere celui avec les paquets , pas parce que c est le plus beau mais pour avoir les cadeaux ! Je regarde pas trop lontemps car mon oeil m enbete toujours . Oui ce serai chouette pour moi d avoir une voisine comme toi se montrer nos dessins devant une tasse de the tranquillement un apres midi , par contre je sais pas pour toi , car je ne suis pas un cadeau ! Je sais pas conduire , j aime pas sortir , et je suis vieille avec tout ce que ca implique .....Si tu peux me dire quelle est la plus grande ville proche de ton coin parce que la bretagne c est grand ! Bises mon amie a bientot

@sallyfroment9169 7 ай бұрын

Love your videos but ordered the brushes on 18th Nov, received confirmation same day, money taken from my account on 20th Nov but still no sign of them. The company say they are on preordained but ca not give me an expected despatch date. Very dissatisfied as most reputable companies do not take money from customers until the goods have been sent. Not your fault, I know, but not impressed with Craftamo, I'm afraid.
