10 year Anniversary on YouTube

Wow, has it really been ten years since my first YouTube video?  Really?  Hard to believe the different material I have covered.  

I'll have to admit, the majority of the videos have covered different Cricut Design Space tips.  However, I have ventured into some journal making, book binding, stamping, bag making, and even some sewing and recipes!  Yes, it's been a variety of 'stuff' going on over there!  

...and that's not going to change!  I have new videos in the works on topics I have not yet done!  So, join me for future videos to see what in the world I'm doing next!

As for today's video, I'm celebrating with a crazy CDS puppy card.  The pup isn't crazy, but my techniques are!  Check out the video below.

Thanks so much for supporting my channel over the past 10 years with your views!  I truly appreciate your time!

Here's a look at the inside.

I saw an old sled!

 As we meander a Path of Positivity, we are challenging you to Embrace The Unexpected. Of course, you can share anything positive you like, the theme is always optional.

Remember, you may share any sort of artistic medium over at PoP:  writing, cards, journals, scrapbooking, painting, sewing, baking, needle crafts, etc as long as it is positive.  The theme is always optional.  

This month we are inspired by something unexpected we see on a walk!  Be sure to visit Path of Positivity for a description of this!  

Now, I know you are wondering why in the world I saw a sled on a walk in September with the temp around 80 degrees.  Well, here's the story.  

I was actually walking to my barn and saw the sled I had moved out of the machine shed!  It caught me by surprise since it didn't belong there and then I remembered I wanted to get it out to check its condition.  I'm looking forward to decorating it this Christmas and placing it by my front porch.  For now, it has inspired me to start some Christmas cards!
