#150

[@1kellibrat18]

150! What an accomplishment. Its nice to see you standing by your beliefs & with the way things are today for the independent retailers, you have to stand by your values. I think that you show incredible integrity & it very much appreciated in todays world. On a happier not GREAT PRODUCTS!!!!!! GREAT IDEAS!!!! as usual !!!! When I am in my mom & pop store here sales people & customers in the store all know who you are, your are also known as the "QUEEN OF KZbin!"

[@carriemiller5862]

I appreciate you standing up for your morales. not many people would do that great job!!

[@roseryan1542]

I think you were very eloquent in stating your position with regard to the chameleon products and obviously it caused you great distress. Hopefully, there are many more companies willing to partner with you in a mutually beneficial way. Congratulations on a happy 150th! I like how you're so thorough with demonstrating the products and creating some wonderful artwork. The stencil patterns are amazing and I love the frames..

[@sueintveld3719]

Fabulous products! I love the new gel pens and the clean color! I also want to applaud you for your integrity about being up front with us about your business decisions. I admire the fact that you are not afraid to do what you think is best for your company. Another of the many reasons I like to do business with SMS! Don't ever lose who you are! You definitely have your customer's best interests in mind. Thank you so much!

[@dezfoss7939]

Good for you Stacey! We have lost a lot of heart and ethics in our world, it is nice that you stand behind your beliefs!

[@KonaSitkaRose]

Congratulations Stacey!!! It's your quality, generosity, "moral compass," sales, customer service, and your personality that keeps us coming back and back and back. I totally get it when you need to listen to your gut. If it's bothering you, there is a reason why. Glad you acted upon it to stay true to you. I've had to do this throughout life and it is not easy to stand out, stand up, and speak your mind with tact. Thank you for everything!!!!

[@franceslund2098]

Congrats on KZbin 150. I love your honesty, that is who you are and never change.

[@905lovest]

I love this tutorial, and HAPPY 150th Tutorial, I am THRILLED that you are teaching us classes each week, and can't wait to see what I'll learn in the next 150 and many, MANY more tutorials. THANKS, Stacey!!! You handled that difficult matter with such class, kindness, and honesty. I love it that you encourage crafters to shop locally, just another way you show such integrity!!! Blessings to you!!! Joanne

[@rhondabutters2288]

Stacy never feel bad about a decision you must make that benefits you and your customers. We love you and you always watch out for us. Thank you so much for all the helpful hints. You are an exception not all mom and pop stores look out for their people that is the reason ours went out of business. Without you taking the time to show us the products and how to use them I know I would be lost. Again thank you and God bless.

[@eileenschneider7954]

Bless your pea pickin' heart. It can be tough following your beliefs. I have been following you for years, back when there were only a couple hundred comments. I never give up hope that I will one day be winner winner chicken dinner! You present so many wonderful products that I would love to try them all! I love all that the zig color markers can do, without your video I would never know all they can do. Thanks for showing us!

[@leannehenderson8373]

Stacey you are a bundle of joy. Love your honesty and big heart. Thank you for all the you tubes that help us be creative. God bless you and your family

[@mbmoore2748]

Stacey, I applaud your stand. Someone has to be wise enough to look at the big picture and do the right thing. Being fair to those independent retailers that sell your products should be high on the priority list for the manufacturers. Good for you. The new products are great. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@kathykrinkie4]

Watching you do the classes makes "my heart happy". Thank you for the inspiration!

[@carolinep4352]

Congrats on your 150th you tube Stacey! and scrapbooking made simple! If not for you and your you tube classes I would not have learned of the inovative ways to to use the stuff I have on hand and info on how to bring things together and the fact that you share so many wonderful stories and your beliefs and convictions makes me realize how truly genuine a person your are. Thanks for caring and sharing. I look forward to your classes each week. Hugs from Caroline

[@bobbielathrop367]

Stacey, one reason I watch and learn from you is because you are down to earth, honest about your feelings, speak your mind and have that sunshine personality that brightens any room you enter. I always tell anyone I meet I am possibly the most honest person they will ever meet, I won't tell you a lie, you ask my opinion....believe me I will give you my opinion and if it upsets you I am sorry but that's just the way I am. Oh and if I catch someone fibbing, well that's a given..I don't want anything to do with them. Some say it's harsh but others really like it. So it's great that you can speak up when something bothers you and although it might hurt you stand behind what you believe. Kudos to you! What a wonderful mini class this time and so much to go over. I never knew you could stick the Clean Colour Pens in water so thank you so much for the class.

[@virginiaolson7654]

Congratulations on your 150th You Tube Class. I am 85 years old and I still love to color.Your classes are so easy to follow. All the Best to all of you at SMS. Love Mary L Murray

[@caroljacobs7950]

You are wonderful. I know your employees are blessed to have you as an employer. Standing up for small business is so important!

[@cardsbylah6602]

Beautiful samples, beautiful stamps, dies and pens. As to your store, you do what makes you feel right.

[@heathermueller5171]

So glad to hear you aren't closing. Your weekly KZbins are inspiring and love seeing new products and how to use them. Many thanks Stacey for all that you do.

[@Calmom5]

I love the Zig Clean Colour Pens, I have used them for about 3 months but never thought about dipping the tip in water, genius idea. Stacey, I just LOVE your You Tubes and all of the amazing samples the SMS family make. Please tell them thank you so much for taking the time and sharing their creativity.

[@trishramme8650]

Congrats again on #150!!! Stacey, I respect and admire you SO much for your dedication to independent retailers. But more importantly for the fact you stay true to yourself. That's one of the many reasons I have been devoted to you and SMS for so long. You are honest, sincere, and have such high standards and you do what your heart knows to be best. Thanks for doing what you do and being who you are. Oh and I love the You Tubes!! Your Dad would be proud and I know your Mom is too. Take care and have a wonderful day. Blessings

[@ChlorJ16]

Thanks for your commitment to small business, it's what makes every community unique.

[@angiehawkins9469]

It is because of your weekly videos that I am scrapbooking. I watch over and over again. I have learned so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@keridowning589]

150 wow! I love all of the techniques that you have shown and it is wonderful that you always go the extra mile for your customers. For example, by adding the diagram to go with dies. Many retailers would just throw the packaging in the box and send it on its way never giving it a second thought. I can just imagine that your bedside table probably has a pen and pad of paper on it, so when you wake up in the middle of the night with an idea you can write it down. lol! Well, have a great week and thanks for all of the ideas, creativity, honesty (which you don't see much of that nowadays) and just the fun.

[@marieschwarzl838]

Love all your videos, especially when I learn new tricks for things already in my stash.

[@mariannejensen2761]

I loved the new products, stamps and dies. Thank goodness you are one of the exceptional retailers who is bluntly honest in your business and you deeply care for your customers. I love coming to your shop and learning so much. Congrats on the Utube 150! !

[@korimalakie9932]

First, please let me congratulate you on 150 you tube classes. Your honesty, compassion, and creativity shine through in every single one. Standing strong in one's beliefs is something that I feel is sorely missing in today's world. Add to that, the passion you show in the struggle to do the right thing, makes others strive for the same strength.

[@valeriebreingan147]

I love your heartfelt honesty. The frame dies are wonderful.I loved this KZbin.Thank you for showing Stacy.

[@charlesgilland9562]

Donna Gilland, aka Charles Gilland. Stacey, I believe you made the right decision. I totally agree. When a company makes decisions for their marketing I don't think they think about the mom and pop shops and how it can affect them and their business. You did what was right for you and no one should think less of you for it. You are so awesome. You give us these wonderful videos showing how to properly use the products and introduce us to wonderful new things. Everytime I watch one I want to spend money I shouldn't. I get so excited with all the wonderful ideas and tips you have. I have been crafting for about 40 years and I have to say that the craft shops I have dealt with did not do make and takes or classes on how to use product. You are a wonderful asset to the crafting world. Congrats on KZbin #150!!!

[@damitdaina8491]

You are teaching me so much I am so thankful that I found your site. I love your videos!

[@janiceschultheis6421]

Congrats on video 150. I watch all of your videos and learn something new almost every time I watch one.

[@paulynevandersloot5677]

Love your videos. Love that you show different products and how to use them.

[@carolnicholson877]

Wow 150 videos. That is amazing!!! I also want to tell you how proud I am to know (through these videos) someone of such strong convictions. It was obviously difficult for you, but standing by what your conscience tells you shows all of us we can too. Thank you.

[@margorankin3973]

Stacy, I keep coming back to you because you share your heart with us. You are not just the BIG company whom we lose trust in. You far exceed your competitors in You tubes.thx for switching to the clean markers. They look so much easier. I live in Minneapolis. It is now a Scrapbooking,stamping desert. Wish you were close by.. Thx for all you do. Your weekly you tubes have helped with my addiction behaviors when I didn't know when you were going to post.

[@slomomom]

OMG Stacy you are killing my bank account! Love all of the new products. Naturally I have to have it all! Really love your you tube classes and showing how to use the new products and all of the things you can you with them. Thanks for your love of our craft! Cyber Hugs!

[@AnjuAnjaly]

😄😄😄 You are heaven sent dear Stacey!!! You just get to ones heart unknowingly....which is a GOOD THING!! Awesome awesome products...I appreciate u taking time to explain things that even a child would understand. I learnt a new thing about Stampendous cling rubbers today!! Yaaay!!!

[@jeanmward]

Stacey, I love that you are such a principled individual. It is so darned refreshing and lacking in today's world. Thank you for caring. You are an incredible person and one I choose to support because of who you are ... and your outstanding deals!!!! I have the Chameleons but love the new "brush" Clean Colour Pens and I see them in my future! Congratulations on KZbin #150. What a ride!!!!

[@lindarobinson3677]

Stacy you are truly amazing. I'm fairly new to scrapbooking and so thankful for your videos. I learn so much each week. Your honesty with your viewers and customers is impressive, I also learn each week, what a beautiful person you are..congrats on 150, can wait for 151. I need to get it in gear and go back and watch them all. Hugs to all SMS gals and guys. . . Linda

[@kimberlyw.queenie7770]

[@LoraR480]

Stacey , I love your honesty . That is why I enjoy shopping online with you. You take the time to show how the products work ! That is a blessing for most of the stuff I wouldn't understand how it worked by just seeing it on a shelf or just a picture online . Love the stampendous frames !! And the ombré watercolor pens !!! Love your fingernails color !!!

[@fransmith9285]

Wow! After watching this You Tube it makes your fingers itch to get started on something......anything. Sooooooo many ideas just flow. Love the.......love all of it. Thanks Stacey for revving us up.

[@teresadoyle1396]

WOW Stacey, that WAS a LOT of product to cover! Whew! Good job! Love my Zigs, they are amazing to work with. I also love Stampendous but was not aware they had dies.

This is what makes your business, (ANY business), a success...The people who run it! Congrats to your lucky winners and I hope to someday hear MY name! Congratulations on 150 You Tubes!

Sometimes good work ethics is hard to come by. Thank you for standing by yours. This video was so full of yumminess! Love everything!

[@melhayley5500]

What another great you tube. My heart goes out to you, the parting company with chameleon had saddened you, but you must stay true to yourself. When I watch I see just how passionate you are about the products you stock and sell. Just carry on what makes your heart sing. Keep on with the independent traders as you are the muscles that hold the bones together. 🎉🎉🎉

[@susank.richards1962]

[@MowiesMom]

You are simply amazing. I was fortunate enough to work at one of those "Mom & Pop" shops that sadly closed down. I always support local whenever possible. I'm glad there's a Scrapbooking Made Simple online for those of us not in Cali so that we can still feel a part of the family and enjoy wonderful people and beautiful product. Thank you! Blessings, Lisa...
