 Hey everybody, you know, I've just wilded the day away doing, I don't know, I got cut up in some die cutting with my big shot, can you tell? So I wanted to cut some, you know, fine detail pieces, sort of like paper lace to use in some layers in some upcoming journal pages, and I honestly just got carried away with just cutting and I totally lost track of time, but I did find some dies, I forgot I had like this honeycomb one which I also cut which is really cool, and of course I've saved some of the pieces that are the results of die cutting because they would be cool on some pages, so anyway. Yeah, I got lost in a process which is fine. I also got some happy mail though, this is from Stephanie Parks from New Zealand, she's sent me happy mail in the past, I always love her happy mail because like if nothing else, look at those stamps, how do you not just love the stamps, like I never have that, I never have it in me to throw the envelopes for many of you away but especially when they have cool stuff like that and all of her envelopes have these like aboriginal designs on them which are so cool. So I haven't opened it yet so let's do that and let's see what's in here, shall we? Stephanie always sends me really great stuff, alrighty, wow it's all wrapped up like it's Christmas, look at this, it's like it's Christmas, oh yay, I think I need my chair, hang on, let me grab my water too, this first one has my name on it, let's see what's in it, I love the cord, she always presents everything so nicely and this is really cool so it has my name on it obviously and there's something in here, it's like a little bag slash envelope thing, I don't know if I can get it open without ripping it, let's see if I can, I'd like to save the little envelope thing, oh nice, it's a cute little card, I love the outside and she's used a word on there and some painy papers, this is just fabulous, I love this, there's a note, let me read it, I'll be right back, hey she sent me a bunch of fun things she came across just to tell me that I'm appreciated for putting out all the YouTube videos and tutorials, Stephanie you're more than welcome, I enjoy the process, I do appreciate their appreciation though very much and I know that probably sounded all kinds of wrong, grammatically speaking but I yeah anyway, I don't know what a typo stove is, we don't have one of those, she said she found some type of embellishments in a typo stove, I don't know what that is off the top of my head, I'm guessing whatever they are is in here so let's find out, look at this paper, isn't this paper just all kind of yummy, look at that, love it, oh look at these wood shapes, oh these are cool and I love the colors, the white and the teal, these are cool, these would be great in some upcoming journal pages, there's some wine glasses, pineapples, butterflies, cats, birds, hearts, bunnies, teapots, squirrels, these kind of squirrels are cute, real ones we have a plethora of around here, yeah freaking hate squirrels, but I love the wood, I love the wood, that wood is cool, alright, we also have raccoons which I just found, we came home the other day and there were raccoons in our driveway, oh look at this, there's a piece of bubble wrap which you know bubble wraps always great to make impressions with, but look at these fun different kinds of papers and cloths and she said something about something with holes and it makes a good stencil, she must be talking about this, I don't know what this is originally, but this is fabulous, maybe you said in here, white sheets with holes in it, so she may not know either but it's really cool, there's some different kinds of like, I'm gonna assume these are paper but they kind of feel like interfacing, like sewing interfacing, but they're cool for a texture layer in your artwork and there's a red one which is I've never seen and look at this tissue paper, stamped tissue, look at these, these are fabulous and they're all inside this cover that looks like she's made out of some packaging that could be used for a journal, I may use it later on for a journal cover, make a little junk journal out of it, that would be fun, alright and there's one more, I don't want to lose any bits, okay, so then there's this one wrapped in again some more bubble wrap and look at this is all wrapped, look at that, oh she's got that wrapped with the seashells on the cord, I love that, I'm gonna have to use that on something because that is just the coolest thing, it's wrapped in like some handmade paper and look at this old book text, there's some old recipes, don't you just love the color on these old book pages, you just can't, you can try to duplicate that till the cows come home and you may get close but it's nothing like the old book paper, old dictionary sheets and some pages out of a storybook, escaping on a raft, very cool Stephanie, I love all the bits and pieces, thank you so very very much, I always appreciate the happy mail that you guys send, I see some great bits and pieces here I'm going to be able to use in upcoming journal pages, now I think I have to clean up my mess because there's little bits of paper like all over my room now, alright that's it for today, if you want to support the free tutorials continuing to come out on YouTube, the live broadcast on Periscope, the Facebook group and all of that stuff, of course you can send me, anybody can send me happy mail, I always appreciate happy mail but you can also support me in a better way by shopping in my Etsy store, the link is in the description below, there's also a support button on the YouTube channel's main page, you have to be on your desktop or in a browser on your smartphone or tablet to see the button, otherwise you're not going to see it, and that's it for right now, don't forget the most important thing, go out and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it, play with your art supplies, have some fun, enjoy your family, breathe the fresh air, do something, alright that's it everybody, I'll see you later, bye!
