    Love, love,love your new craft space it is looking “GOOD” and so are you! You always have such great ideas. I don’t know if I ever told you but I have to thank you for getting me up and running with my Cricut. I had the expression for almost 2 years before I was able to be successful cutting with it and it was your cutting guide and your videos that got me going, So thank you a million times over!!! I love my CTMH cartridges I have all three and they are awesome, packed with wonderful images. I don’t have those stamps probably on my wish list so they would be awesome to win!! Thanks for the opportunity and for all that amazing things that you do. Your energy and positive outlook are inspiring! Big Hugs

    Thank you for all you do for us. I have learned so much from you over the years. I have several of your DVD’s. They have helped me quit a bit and I do not know what I would do if I I did not have the Cutting Guide for the Cricut. I just wish they had one for the Cameo. I have trouble with the settings sometimes for the Cameo. Love your new craft room. Wish mine was that big. Love your big frame. Where did you get it? I would love to have one for my room. Thanks also for all of the videos you do. I have learned so much from them.

    I have been a huge fan of yours for years now. I so appreciate your honesty, your vulnerability and the fact that you are a mere mortal like the rest of us. To me, it makes you even more relatable. No one is perfect BUT God still loves us anyway.

    I love your creativity. You inspire me in many ways! God uses you in more ways than you know! I wish you the best…

    Megan I love that you have a new great big scrapbooking room to give you inspiration…which then translates into to gives me inspriation! I have been in a funk lately and then I got to watch your videos the last few days and it has totally inspired me to get back to crafting since we moved 6 months ago. So I worked on making a place in the basement of our rental home so I could fit a table with some shelves added some good lighting and opend up some of those moving boxes! I also singed up for an all weekend crop in October just so I had a goal in mind to be ready for! Thanks so much for you passion and love towards scrapbooking you truely do inspire! Please keep the videos coming!!!!

    I would love the Paisley Perfect Stamp Set from Close To My Heart. It so adorable. Wish I could place an order but, layoffs have hindered any purchasing outside of true basic needs. Pray that changes soon, going into 7 mos. No luck with full time work as of now.
    So Glad you have your Craft Room back. I have followed you for over two years and love your stories, video’s, sharing of life challenges and all your tips and tricks with the Cricut and other wonderful crafty tools.
    Wishing you and the children a very Blessed journey into your new life.
    Thanks for the opportunity to win. Maybe next time I can place an order.

    You are really an awesome person. I really enjoyed the fact that you shared some of your personal life with
    all of us. Wee don’t always know what God has planned for us but we do know it will be the right choices if we follow him. I am working with the last of my grandkids and starting with my greatgrandkids. Scrapping is just another way to connect. I so enjoy your videos for they give me such inspiration.
