Thank you, Tina! I totally understand how you feel. I taught high school English for 31 years. I spent every free moment grading papers. Now, that I am retired, I am starting a new chapter. I had no idea it would involve creating a KZfaq channel!😜

Imagine those shavings on toenails, great infection

I would never rip up a book

Same/same. What an incredible inspiration

@@roselee4445 well, I agree for the most part, however, I’d buy the dollar store Clinton Obama Fauci and the like and feel like I’m doing the world a huge favor!

@justme So true , I would never pay that much for ripped books tied with twine ! Which is why they’re millionaires because people will pay it .

100$ for a pillow W T heck 🤯

That’s why it’s great to have a channel that teaches you how to do these projects yourself. Don’t forget, you’re paying for the labour to actually do make these goods. And most of them take a lot of time. Look at the yarn and raffia lampshade. It took 8 hours. Who do you know who would do that for say…$5.00?????

Keep in mind they have to pay people to do the work and they are probably paying a decent wage. Plus they have a mark up so they can make some profit and pay overhead. Make if you want, that's fine. You had fun.

@@jacquefessenden9570 I would research that, how much they pay an hour and where they are having them made?

If it "seems" like there is a disconnect between their ethics and their ridiculous prices, that is probably because there actually IS! :(

Please don't go too hard on the Gaineses because when you market a product there are always hidden costs--the designer fees, employee wages, product costs, etc.

Yeah but you would have to buy the cricut, orbital sander, jigsaw, etc to make all these projects.

Sounds like a great trick. I’ll check out your page!😃

I think you can also use isopropyl alcohol or acetone (although that one might be really aggressive) to smooth the polymer clay.

Oh, Jojo! I am so sorry about your accident! I hope that you will take up crafting again. I think it is good for our brains; however, it is relaxing at the same time. (I think because we are so focused on what we are doing that we don’t have time to stress or worry about things.)

@@CanterburyCottage Oh, you are so dear to respond to my ramblings. Thank you for your inspiration. Presently I am painting on ancient porch pillar that a neighbor created a hanger on the top from which I am hanging a stunning Spanish pendant. Making unique items gives my brain new life and I love figuring out techniques. Thank you again for all your inspiration. oh how I would love to share my wonderful stash of treasures that I found in my worldly travels.

I just saw your lovely comment! Thank you so much for those kind comments! 🥰

I was very disappointed when they became successful on tv Chip said now they could concentrate on high income properties as that was what they wanted. Nothing wrong with that but it just hit me the wrong way

Thanks, C B! Yes, my kitty always wants to help me craft! She especially loves when I work with real flowers!🌼

@@CanterburyCottage thats the patience I was talking about on my comment. I would have yelled at my cat for bugging me while doing my DIY! lol I just don't have a cat!😂

🤣😂Funny... I adore felines 👍🙏

I smiled when I saw the cute kitty. He obviously wants to help you.

Me too especially regarding old books but there are many junky ones out there so no worries.

I have an old wood ironing board and I’d hate to cut it up. I’ve used it as a sofa table and currently it’s hanging on a wall. I love it!

I cringed over the ironing board. Though, I can appreciate she was able to turn it into something else, and a something probably more useful.

Thank you, Vivienne! I’m so glad you enjoyed these projects.😊

Thank you, Kim! 🥰 Some (probably former) viewers say my voice sounds like a robot or Siri!

@@CanterburyCottage you take your time and make the directions very clear which is important. Thank you 🌹

Your brilliant! Thanks for sharing.

Unfortunately that's the way of those that climb the ladder to 'Success'. Here in the uk the charity outlets are becoming more expensive than normal outlets! It's to do with rental., etc,. And the post code. (Zip Code) in the USA. X

I agree!

Girls... They are feathering THEIR nest! I like your dupes and the savings more. You are so talented. Hey, I live in Texas but I will try the dupes cause I'm frugal and like to save money so I can feather my nest! 😁

Her tastes and style and products have always been higher. But even with coupons Hobby Lobby cheap made is more expensive than if you catch Joanns items on sale or discount or even with coupons. I frugal shop so I was able to get a very popular, large, round styled mirror for $39 with shipping. I could not get that anywhere else. But if you can make with materials on hand, even better!!

@@vivianstidham9596 hi neighbor! Im right there with ya!

Thank you, Kelly! I am so glad that you are enjoying my videos! I really appreciate you watching and leaving me such a sweet comment!😊

Really nIce

I felt the same way as you. I detest seeing books destroyed. I have said that in modern times, more than any other time in history of books. The same skills and expertise in making books is a thing of the past. Books are no longer bound using a person who trained for years to make a cover that was acceptable to make the book. I actually have a book belonging to my grandma, it was printed in 1843. It is the young cooks assistant. My grandma was a servant in a castle here in Ireland. I also have a huge pot which would have hung over a fire, to cook the contents. That too came from the same castle. The book is in bad condition at this time. But I am proud to own it. It is such a piece of history. I have a Bible which was printed in 1911. I have a Collins gem dictionary which has important dates and fact's the last date was 1964 Death of J.L. Nehru, prime minister of India. Another book I have is a book titled First Aid To the injured. It was printed in 1939. That book belonged to my Mother. Wouldn't it be a shame if someone had destroyed these books, just to make something that sadly makes no sense?. All of these books are in bad condition, but that doesn't matter to me. I keep them in a secretary hutch, so they don't become brittle by the sunlight. I love all of the items that Sherrie makes. But I shudder when I see anyone destroy books.

@@sandracrosbie8468 In this culture and generation things are not appreciated neither have sentimental value, sadly. I go thrifting and see so many beautiful books and furniture that I wished I had the space to buy.

Funny, that they call them “rugs” when they are placemat size!😜

Oh thank you!😊

Thank you, Lisa!😊

Thank you, Michelle! That is so sweet of you to say!
