 Hey everybody, how are you today? It's been a while since I brought you a kind of vlog and chat and I actually got some happy mail last night from Christy Trout and look at the envelope. I can't show all of the back, but she's just, it's one of those envelopes that you know you have to open because there's stuff inside of it, but it's so pretty. And she has this great face on here. I love that. I just love it. I don't know, I think they're kind of grimacing, but I love it anyway. You know, we all have days like that where we're just like, I know I do, I'm assuming you all do too. It's not just me, right? Let's see if I can get my letter opener without moving the camera. Yay, I did. All right, let's see if I can get this open without tearing anything. And we'll see. It is the 26th Tuesday and sometime overnight last night if you haven't seen my thank you message video sometime overnight last night, we hit 1,000 members in my Facebook group and we hit 5,000 here on YouTube. So yay. Thank you guys. I never thought ever that my art journey would take me where it has today, but I certainly enjoy it very much and I enjoy sharing with all of you. So thank you, thank you, thank you. She sent me some really great paper lace and I'm loving layering paper right now. It's really where I'm at layering paper and in some cases I'm going over it with watercolor or underneath it with watercolor. And she sent me this really pretty piece of paper lace. It's a nice big piece too. Really great piece of tissue paper. Y'all know I love tissue paper. I like napkins, but not that much. They're kind of fiddly and they're kind of a pain, but I love tissue paper. I love to collage with tissue paper. She sent me this really great cherub, angel. Love that. That'll look great on a page. Here are some fabulous stickers. Paris themed, wonderful. There we go. I realized that it was time to change my drop paper yesterday when I was trying to film and the camera wouldn't focus because the drop paper cloth was so messy and busy that it, the camera couldn't, poor camera couldn't figure out what to focus on. So anyway, that's what I was doing earlier today. Not that you need to know that and has nothing to do with Happy Mail. Look at this really great cut out. I love those roses. There is some fabulous tissue and it looks like alphabet tissue that's been sprayed with inks. Look, look, look. That's fabulous. I love it. I love it. I love it. It's tissue paper and it's colorful, but there's a nice note. I'll read in a minute. There is a kind of a layered art card. This is, she made this and she's got pouring medium on here. It says on the back, which I have not had like good luck with because like my pouring medium like never seemed to dry. I don't know. Maybe it's just me. This is fabulous, but it's layered and it's got paint and delusion sprays and it's sealed with pouring medium fabulous. And she wrote on the back what she did, which I love that so I can experiment. There are some tags and there is a quote. I love that quote. So above the crowd. Nice. And there's another great image and she sent me a piece of embossed paper. It has my name on it. And it says Happy Mail. And she, yeah, it's, so thank you Christy so much. I so appreciate the Happy Mail. I'm gonna read your note a little better in a minute when I'm off camera, but I appreciate all the bits and pieces you sent me. I'm definitely gonna be able to use those. They're wonderful. And got some other mail here. Just random mail. You know, Christmas cards that I have the wrong address for people. They're still coming back. It's like the end of January. I don't know what's taking the post office so long to return them to me. But anyway, I think that's it for right now. I've of course, as always, got a million projects going on. I'm trying to catch up and finish journaling Crazy Island Style for February. If you don't know what that is, it is an online year long journaling program of which I am one of the teachers. And if you're interested in checking it out and or signing up, you can do that over at crazyallonuniversity.com. The link should be in the description below. If you want me to support me in my journey with art and to continue to bring you free video content, free live broadcasts and the Facebook group and all of that stuff, you can of course shop in my Etsy shop. The link is below. If you go to my YouTube homepage, there's a support button. Like, you know, down on the right somewhere. But you have to be in a browser if you're on your tablet or smartphone and you have to or on a PC and you can click on that button and you know, do your thing. That's it for right now, I think. I can't think of anything else. Just real quick. All right, thank you all. I can't believe that we hit 5,000 here on YouTube and 1,000 in the Facebook group. That happened really quick. Like, I blinked my eyes and we hit 1,000. Wow. All right, that's it for right now. Go out and have a great day. Do something nice for yourself. Yeah, because you deserve it. I'll see you later. Bye.
