Hi Janis, thank you for giving us a tour of your lovely craft room. One of my favorite things to do is see how other people store things and what treasures they have. You have a wonderful collection of antique goodies and I for one would love to see more if others are interested as well. Any craft room that has a little chaos in them is one that has beautiful things being created. That was quite a candle story you shared. I'm sure that you endured quite a bit of pain with your arm being broke like that. I am glad that your candle stayed safe until someone was able to come home. Take care.

@@connieblackburn1265 I enjoyed reading your kind comment, Connie. Thank you You have encouraged me to start working on a follow-up video. I am glad you enjoy those kinds of videos. It always amazes me how differently people arrange their workshops as well as see all their fun treasures. I I will be organizing papers, especially, before filming. It is good motivation! About my broken arm. Yes, I waited 10 days before having a 5 hour surgery. The break was in half, plus length-wise splintering. ..8 inch rod with 15 pins. I am thankful it healed well, as that was a concern at first. One of the blessings was that it was 2021, and they didn’t make me get a covid test before the surgery. 😊
