Thank you, I agree. If you are lucky enough to have a wonderful grandparent, it is such a gift she was my only grandparent but she was so amazing that she made up for any lack of family we may have had in numbers. She is alive as a part of me. So much of who I am is because of her.

I recently found your channel and am enjoying your videos. Your tag line “We can make that” reminded me of my beloved sister, Gaye. We would see an idea and say to each other “we can make that” and then have the fun of tracking down the supplies needed. Maybe ten percent of the projects were completed-the enjoyment for us was the shopping for the materials.

My first gallon of paint cost me under $8! Yes, I walked into the local hardware store with a wooden puzzle piece in the shape of a pig , and said "here, I want a gallon of paint in this color, make it be so", and he did. I thought I was being a bit spendy, but I also thought it was glamorous. This was in the very late 80's, and it astounds me now to go for paint and spend close to a hundred dollars for a gallon of custom pain. And if I walked in now with that pig, I would be laughed RIGHT out of the store. I think your booth looks great! What's wrong with shoppers???
