Hi Shannon. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself,do what you can when you can. Remember it’s not life or death for us. ❤️👍

Another lovely video Shannon, you produce such cosy videos. Look forward to seeing your plans for 2024 come together. Your work is amazing and I just see you going from strength to strength in the future. Loved hearing your thoughts on the psychic/medium you visited. My lovely dad died very suddenly when I was 23. I had never considered visiting a medium in my life. My lovely mother in law convinced me to go and see one after he died as she thought it might bring me some comfort (he'd been recommended to her by someone else). I wasn't convinced. Anyway long story short, I eventually went to the one that had been recommended, I was very sceptical. He said things, he couldn't possibly have known about my dad - things we'd discussed that only I would know (same with my Mum), he made reference to events that only we would know about. I came away feeling really strange, trying to work out how he could have know what he knew and such detail - even if he'd researched us as a family he couldn't have known the details he knew... To this day, I truly believe there was something there and the more I thought about it, the more comfort it gave me knowing my dad could get the things he wanted to say to us. Take care Lovely, don't put too much pressure on yourself - I'm the same so I should take my own advice :) - we all love what you do. Take time when you need to and don't feel guilty doing so xx

Lovely to watch another vlog - keep them coming 👍 Many years ago I had a psychic reading and she told me things about myself that she can't possibly have known as I was new to the town and a complete stranger. So I was impressed . But when I analysed it later I realised she could easily have made some lucky guesses based on my accent, my clothes , my hairstyle, my address, my job etc. However, you are fairly high profile what with your vlogs on KZfaq, Facebook etc. so it would be easy to look you up and "read" you! So take it all with a pinch of salt. Do what I did - all the good stuff I believed and all the bad stuff I wrote off as a load of rubbish ‼️😊

Thank you so much! I felt exactly the same, I think my choice of outfit being quite outdoorsy may have brought up lots of adventure for my future but who knows! I’d be super happy if that was to be my future anyway so I’m seeing it as a positive experience that I enjoyed whatever comes from it 😆🤍

Hi Shannon! Love your videos so much, they are so relaxing and your drawings Look beautiful! For me, the sounds of the mouse-click or keypad, when you type the weekdays or color of the pencils are a little bit harsh, I liked the pencil-scribble sound a bit better (from former vlogs). Anyway, one can see you put lots of effort into creating those vlogs for us and I really appreciate it! The piano music is wonderful. And I am looking forward to your online zoom teaching classes somewhere in the future, as I am from Germany. Have a lovely weekend!

Yes Most definitely love the idea of having a one time price for Tutorials. I would much rather and be more willing to do it this way. Instead of having a Monthly Subscription of something. Will you please look into this… Love the camera by the way. Looks like a really good one. Got me looking at it as well.. Thanks for the Video and all that you do. 👊😎

I love watching your vlogs Shannon, you are such an inspiration. My mother passed nineteen years ago and my father found it difficult to cope on his own. He asked me to listen to a tape recording of his time with a medium that he went to. I was blown away by Heidi as she new so many things about my mother that she could never know. She said things that my mother had done when she was in her teens, one of them had my father totally baffled as he could not get over the fact that mum said at the close of the hour long reading - I am going down to the field to lay down with George - this totally perplexed my father because he could only think of one person called George who used to be an elderly gentleman who lived in the village years ago. I burst into laughter and said - Dad you know who George is, she used to tell me that when she was at work she would walk down to the paddock and lay down in the sunshine with her big 17hands high gelding every day who was George. There was no way that Heidi could have ever known about that and my dad was so relieved and happy to know that she was reunited with her horse again. Heidi went on to say so many things that no one could ever in a million years have known about my mum, and she told me things about what my daughters would do when they grew up - they all came true except for 2 of them. I will say to you Shannon, keep an open mind about your reading, make notes about it, you will be surprised just what may happen in the future.

I’m so glad you’re enjoying the vlogs! Wow that is incredible that she was able to say all of that and this has put a lot of faith back in me not to disregard things that were said to me. That must have been so comforting to hear that, I would be interested in going to a medium too in future who specialises in speaking to spirits ☺️ Thank you so much for your lovely comment I’m going to type everything up that she said to me and refer back to it in future 🤍

@@shannonmullin That is the best thing to do. My father passed all his tapes over to my and for a long time I listened to them, it felt like my mother was with me again and I loved that. Having seen the orb on your video a few weeks ago, you have a loving spirit around you for sure. I have seen several mediums since Heidi, but they were never as accurate as she was. When things are backed up with proof, and Heidi came out with lots of things like - you have a green cement mixer, no we have a yellow one I said, Heidi told me - you will have one in a very short time and lay lots of concrete too! She was right as we lost the yellow one and had to buy another one a green one! And we did lay lots of concrete, footing in for a log cabin for my father to live in our back garden. I was not for some time that I found her tapes and played them and was astounded by what she had said as I had forgotten lots of it. It really rocked me and made me know she was so right in lots of things. I hope you have lots of good reading and hope your good things come true for you xxx

Hello, I use DaVinci eye. How do you keep the photo from moving around on your iPad? I gave up using it that way so now I use DaVinci eye.

For your printing issues it is mostly because for epson printers and other you need to use the paper brand associated with it. Kind of annoying because you are not free but it is a sure way to make it work Love your drawings!

Thank you! Such a pain I wish it was compatible with any card or paper, some days it’s fine and works like a dream and others it just doesn’t co-operate and gets jammed 🙈 Thank you so much ☺️

It’s so annoying because it never used to do this! I wonder if there’s any other maintenance checks that can be done to help 😞

@timtog 6 ай бұрын

I have the Epson 8550 which I print photos on, as a very poor at drawing but enjoy seeing artist who can draw. Epson advises this for when it does not take the paper. It’s also worth doing a weekly nozzle check on some A4 paper, just to check it printing correctly on the cheaper paper then your art paper If you have problems feeding paper, try these solutions: If paper does not feed for printing, remove it from the rear paper feeder or cassette. Reload it, then adjust the edge guides. Make sure the paper stack is not above the tab on the edge guides inside the cassette. Make sure to load only one sheet at a time in the rear paper feed slot. Place the product on a flat surface and operate it in the recommended environmental conditions. Be sure to insert the paper cassette all the way into your product. If multiple pages feed at once, remove the paper, fan the edges to separate the sheets, and reload it. Do not load more than the recommended number of sheets. Make sure your paper meets the specifications for your product. If paper jams when you print on both sides of the paper, try loading fewer sheets. If paper is ejected from the rear paper feed slot without being printed, first start your print job, then load the sheet of paper. Make sure the paper size and paper type settings are correct for the paper source. Run the paper guide cleaning utility to clean the paper path. Clean the roller inside the printer to remove any dust on the paper path. For best results, follow these guidelines: Use new, smooth, high-quality paper that is not curled, creased, old, too thin, or too thick. Load paper in the cassette printable side down. Do not load binder paper with holes in the cassette. Follow any special loading instructions that came with the paper.
