I can hardly believe it's been a whole year of regular episodes on my YouTube channel - what a lovely new adventure it's been! I hopped on to say hello "in person"... the first time of having my face on camera on the channel (though those who've seen PaperArtsy lives will be familiar with me doing that!).
I'm particularly proud of the generous, positive atmosphere in the comments section on the channel - especially when you consider some of the interactions which go on in social media comments sections! - so when some people suggested that I should set up a Buy Me A Coffee page to allow them to make contributions to the creative journey.
So that is what I have done, and the anniversary message also talks about why and what that page is for, so do take a look if you're interested.
There are several new episodes available since I last posted here - one of them in a very surprising colour palette! Check out the colourful journal cover, using my PaperArtsy Printed Tissue.
There's a chance to dive into one of my tag crates in a bit more detail, so come and enjoy that inspiration too.
You might enjoy these Window Women... they inspired lots of different storytelling ideas, not only from me but also from lots of the audience in their comments below the video.
Or how about some little rusty Valentine's envelopes - made with altered teabag sachets - perfect for popping a little love note into, or even a chocolate.
I hope you're all surviving February... there's some exciting news coming your way next week to brighten these winter days. Do watch this space, and happy crafting all!
The time for action is now. It is never too late to do something.

This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.

Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
