 Hey guys! How are you today? I am fabulous! Oh my gosh! I got the sweetest note and email from YouTube fan and fellow creative soul, Cori Lanza, thanking me for a package I sent to her recently, and she responded in kind, which Cori, thank you so much, but you didn't need to do. And I have to tell you, your note really touches me not only because of the sentiment in it, but your handwriting is so much like my late aunt and godmother who passed recently, and she was the reason that I, one of the reasons I started being creative and working as an artist and I started my Facebook group because of her and her encouragement, and yeah, I just, yeah, that touches me really greatly, I can't even tell you. She, Cori sent me this fabulous package. I'll get to this in a minute. First of all, the whole thing was wrapped in this wonderful tissue paper. I love it, love it. I love tissue paper. It's one of my favorite art materials slash things I hoard. You all know, you all know. You're in the same boat as me. I know it may be a different product, but we all have that one thing that we love that we have trouble using. For me, it's tissue paper, but I love, love, love this one. I'm pretty picky anymore about the tissue that I do keep, and I only keep what I really love and what I really want to use, and this is definitely one that's going to go in my stash. I love it. She also sent me these cute little zebra printed zipper bags, which will be great for, you know, all kinds of things. I mean, you could of course put art supplies in them, but you know, I love to have a bunch of these little zipper bags hanging around when I'm traveling. You know, I'll fill one up with all the phone chargers and I'll fill another one up with like travel medications to put in my carry-on. So these are great. I always, I love to have a bunch of these around. Fabulous napkins. I mean, look at these. They're just gorgeous. They can go in with the tissue paper in the bin that that goes in. She sent me this great packaging material. It looks like it's from pens or something, and it's really cool. She said in her note that I could use it to maybe put watercolors in, which I could. I'm kind of wondering what kind of marks would make like on a jelly plate, or you know, if you filled the little divots in with like modeling paste or clay, what would you get? This thing fascinates me. I don't know why I love it. A really nice watercolor paper card and envelope, a blank one that I can paint on. I love these, and I love working on them, and I have lots of white ones. I don't have any cream ones until now, so this is beautiful. A really nice little art card that she made. How I have fun today. I love that. Don't you just love the colors? That's probably gonna have to go into my journal for this month. I'm gonna have to stick that over there because I love the sentiment. Also, this little saying, there comes a time in your life when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. It's so, so, so true. Love that. Okay, she also got me this really fabulous handmade paintbrush from Rosemary and Company. It's a triangular paintbrush. Can you even see that the the ferrule is triangular shaped down here where the bristles are held? And yeah, it's not round. It's not flat. It's triangular shaped. It is the coolest thing on the planet, and I cannot wait to try it. I'm gonna put it in my stash of important brushes, my watercolor brushes, not with the acrylic ones that I really kind of nerf up and use on glue and stuff. This is gonna be a special one. I can't wait to try it. Thank you so much, Cory. I appreciate everything you sent. I appreciate all of you, and I always love getting happy mail. It's wonderful, wonderful to get happy mail, and I keep all of your happy mail, and especially the handmade cards and the notes. The notes go in a special box, and when the box is full, then I make a journal out of all the notes that you sent and or artwork. So yeah, if you guys want to send me something, it's gonna go in that box, and I save all of it. Alright, that's it for today. I have one more video to film, and then I'm done for the day. I've been working on furiously on planning 2017 for you all and everybody in the Facebook group, and it was wrapped in this ribbon. Isn't that cool? I know, I'm gonna save it. And so yeah, I've been spending a lot of time on the computer lately, not as much here at the art table, but that will be changing soon because I'm nearing the end of all of that. So this was a nice break getting this happy mail. Thank you so much. That's it for right now. Don't forget the most important thing. Go out and have a great day. Do something nice for yourself because you deserve it. Alright, I'll see you later. Bye, guys.
