Thank you, Stacey! I live in the Philippines, but I always wait for your video to upload late Saturday night here so I can watch and learn something new. I feel that you are like a friend I always wait to visit my house every weekend. Appreciate so much for sharing this technique and for encouraging us to make use of supplies in our stash. You are a blessing to the papercrafting world. Cheers! 😊👏🏼❤️💐

[@lorihandel6522]

A Saturday is not a Saturday without watching your KZbin. They bring a lot of cheer. The sample cards you show at the end of the You Tubes are so gorgeous

[@905lovest]

Stacey, I do craft alone most of the time, and I SO appreciate your classes. Your integrity makes my heart sing! How you support local shops and it's not all about shopping with you (although you know I'm a very loyal SMS shopper, especially buying your Simply Defined and Simply Refined lines that I LOVE!), which I think is AMAZING!!! Thank you for all that you teach me. Sometimes I can't work with your product for months after I receive it because I haven't been well enough to play with it--but I can go back and re-watch your KZbin, and I do that often, watch my favorites and those that I need to re-watch to see how to create what I've bought with you. You ARE making a HUGE difference in the crafting world, thank you so very very much!!! By the way, I absolutely LOVE your new haircut, you always look great, but today you look FABULOUS!!!!!! You look so young and so vibrant and SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! Thank you too regarding your advice for those who are going through what you are after your fire for those going through the floods--SO KIND of you--but that's just who you are. You show me this kindness over, and over, and over again--because you are kind, you are a woman of great integrity. I just had to write this... Sending you hugs, Joanne

[@jenniferhelm6784]

Thank you for all you do, Stacey, and for doing what you can to keep crafting affordable for everyone! We love you for it!

[@deidragrant556]

I love the fact that your U-Tubes teach us, never forget how much they mean to most of us watching you.

[@meetasaha1749]

Dear Stacey, I really love the way you talk, it shows how much you care, for your viewers. You are so frank. Thank you.

[@veronicawalters4534]

Your heart is made of pure gold! I'm blown away by your genuine kindness everytime I see you! Bless your kind heart ♥

[@adrimyburgh6929]

You so kind Stacey, what a heart of gold. Thank You!! for keeping the Scrapbooking industry alive.

[@Devoteddi]

Stacy you owe no apology to anyone. It's like Black Friday. First come first served. You are always beyond generous. You are so appreciated. Thank you for all you give for free. A great class every week and free make and takes to go with it. Keep up the wonderful job for those of us who love you and your staff.

[@pattym1560]

Learn something new with each KZbin. A caring person cares and explains to people why they do what they do. I appreciate that you care!

[@sharonfrench1087]

You don't need to apologize to anyone. You supply such wonderful products and explained their us so completely we appreciate you eternally. We love what and how you do it.

[@peggylinder6080]

Stacey, you are a most wonderul caring person and I appreciate the fact that you try to look out for all of us crafters. It is great that you like to pass along savings to the crafters instead of saying look at the profit we can make by charging regular price or a slight discounted price when we get a super duper price. Thank you for sharing with us. Also love the ideas on this weeks You Tube.

[@Kayj1223]

Thank you for taking your time each week to show us new things and/or remind us of things you have already taught us!! You rock!

[@ljstorey1]

Thank you Stacey for all that you do for all of us. Wonderful products! Thank you for putting everything that you do show us on your videos at a discount, something that you don't have to do. Love the new haircut & bangs. Tell the SMS ladies they did another wonderful job on their samples. God bless you & yours.

[@ambermyer1207]

Oh Stacy, I have learned o much from you! Thank you for these wonderful videos, and you always let us know limited, if we miss out we do, it's not up to you to make everyone happy, you do more then most already! You teach so much, show mistakes, and your laugh is contagious! Thank you for being you!

[@pamjohnson3784]

Stacey, you have a heart of gold! Always always thinking of us. I am one of those lone craters and I appreciate all you do and all the time you put into US. HUGS AND THANK YOU

[@jenniferswilling7138]

Stacey don't apologize for providing great product at great prices! Thanks for another great idea video.

[@lindalenting1462]

Stacey, I enjoy your videos so much! I think you have a heart of gold, just keep on being you. I have to let you know that I appreciate your keeping your prices low so everyone can enjoy crafting.

[@lisamariewinland1830]

Thank you for making it possible for those who cannot afford a lot of crafts. Your videos are awesome!! Learning so much from you Stacey, thank you for all you do.

[@pollyweinmann5082]

Stacey, you would never be mean or hurt anyone purposely. You my dear lady have a heart of 100% pure gold!

[@pdh8447]

Amen!!

[@csthankful]

I always so look forward to Saturday With Stacey! You are a gem! I always appreciate all you do for us, your customers. I love shopping with you....so keep on teaching us....

[@chipecomartin6571]

We have never been lead wrong by you. You are always up front on everything. I tell people orders take a while to come so if can't wait then don't order. But we love what you offer us and the prices . Your a sweet person and love everything you do for us. We feel like family cause you share your stories with us. We cry with you and laugh with you.. thank you for all you do...

[@JaniLewisPaperCompulsions]

I LOVE your generous spirit and your love for not just crafts but also craters!

[@fchopp]

You rock Stacy!! You have a great heart and I appreciate all your efforts to keep scrapbooking , card making, and memory making alive. Thank you so much!!!

[@carolallen7774]

I so appreciate how you explain your business and life philosophies. We love you for that. Thank you for showing so many ways of using our supplies.

[@starrpatrick973]

you are just the sweetest person! the insurance you talked about with homeowners and the lender I would never would have thought that, that was the way the insurance went. thank you for the new information. also I'd like to thank you for your you tube shows, there is ALOT of products that I have no idea what to do with them and I learn them from you, then I know what I want to buy, so thank you!

[@annnieves3490]

I can't thank you enough for your classes..these have been three of the most difficult weeks of my life and your classes are my getaway...

[@Dccreations46]

Stacey this is why you are so loved ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ and why I love watching you so much

[@lennettajerkins7072]

Keep doing what you are doing! That's why we love you and keep watching!

[@ellenc5452]

Stacey we appreciate all that you do to get these tutorials ready for us, and I agree with many others, you never need to apologize for stock running out. You are very honest and always make a point of saying quantities are limited and once it's gone it's gone. It's not right that those who miss out have to complain about it. Great tutorial as always and I learned some new and interesting techniques.

[@carriek6999]

Never apologize for being nice! Love your videos and all you do for the craft world! Thank you!!

[@Roweinna]

Stacey I ALWAYS appreciate you teaching us new techniques and sharing how to use an old product in new way! It saddens me that people are not kind in their words to you! Than you and please keep teaching us!!

[@melindal7108]

I love that you price things that let those on a budget to craft. This makes me come back every time. Love and hugs Stacey.

[@peggywestrom6890]

What I would like to say, is you have a sweet and giving heart,to take the time to explain to people who were unhappy with you, says a lot about you.And I am one of the persons who scrap alone,and get overwhelmed with the craft store I go into. But the way you show ways to use products has really been helpful to me. I want to thank you so much.

[@brendasch4191]

I love everything about this KZbin. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed visiting with you this week - from Colorado. You are such a jewel. Too many wonderful things to list. I will make and send you a thank you card because You deserve it and then some. I will keep sharing your ideas with my crafting buddies and sending cards made with your products to my family and friends. Thank you for being you.

[@tonisuewasher181]

Stacey, yet another great tutorial with beautiful samples from the amazingly talented SMS gals! Thanks for all you do to keep crafting affordable for all of us, even when quantities are limited!

[@dianedragt7438]

Lovely as usual, love that glitter! You would never go out of your way to hurt anyone, there have been times when I am to late on a product also, we need to understand that there is just so much product you can bring in for the thousands of us that are shopping. Always stay you. Love ya.

[@jeannetrumbull5561]

Thanks for sharing your techniques with us! You always make the U Tube enjoyable to watch as we learn. I like your excitement!

[@donnamc5723]

Thank you for your classes! I do most of my crafting alone and really look forward watching you every week! This heat resistent acetate creates a gorgeous look!!! Thank you again for sharing!💖💖💖

[@mollymcadoo2829]

Thank you for the free classes. I've looked at several places where scrapbooking/card making classes are in my town, but they usually cost money. It is so nice to watch your videos and actually learn the process. Also, you have a beautiful soul and heart. God bless you.

[@rwhalen1771]

Thank you, Stacey, for your online classes. I look forward to them so much, they jump start my creativity. SO MUCH FUN!

[@mrswhitlock4301]

Stacey, thank you for all the fun classes and techniques that you so kindly share each week. I truly wait for them to post. I love watching you. It is sad that people are mean or critical of your kind prices on products. I was busy last week and didn't get to order some things but was very happy for those who did. I just went to my local craft store and got a couple to try...easy Peasy. And it still did not cost much. I hope you always stay the way you are. Kindness always wins in my book. Have a wonderful weekend, you looked so pretty today! Love the bangs❤️ Hugs🤗 Kay Dell

[@twylahodnett3202]

Wonderful ideas, Stacy, and I think you are very kind hearted trying to keep everyone happy. Hugs!

[@she11ygirl2]

Stacey, thank you so much for giving those of us who are crafting alone to have a wonderful tutorial each week and the opportunity to try things without breaking the bank. You truly do help to allow us to try the different options and items for a low price, and then decide what we love and what just is something that doesn't work so well for us. It really makes it easy for me to budget what I am going to spend my crafting budget on. I am very sad to hear that some may not have understood your reasoning behind the pricing. It is obvious to me that you love the craft. That is why you are trying so hard to help not only to promote the craft but to enable others to take up the craft. Your enthusiasm is so contagious! I think our society has become a bit too impatient at times. Everyone wants everything right away. I am not that way when I order from your shop as I know it's a small shop. When the items ordered arrive it is like a nice gift from your shop. Keep smiling. I hope your home is coming along. Shell

[@janscott821]

Stacey thanks for all you do to support the craft industry. Your videos always inspire me. I am so sorry about your house fire. Thanks for sharing the process of what you have to go through to get your checks. Blessings to you and yours!

[@carolanderson3355]

Oh Stacey, YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN!!!! Love, Love, Love your classes!! And NO apology needed!!

[@blueclearsky6517]

I can't believe how much I will save making my own cards and just what I want without hours Of shopping for cards by spending time every Sat watching such an informational from such an inspirational teacher. Thank you so much!!!!

[@maryannovermyer9505]

Love love the way you teach your cards. I learn something new every Saturday. Keep it coming! Bless you for your thoughtfulness to keep the cost of your products reasonable!

[@barbarapalczewski5341]

Stacie, with all your wonderful product offers and prices, you never need to apologize! We learn, laugh and our pocket books are never stretched too far! THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO! Some people should just go by the old adage....if you don't have something nice to say, KEEP QUIET!

[@asj02004]

I think it's a great idea to use things we already have... I love your All of your videos and Kudos to STACEY AND YOUR CREW!! God bless you for bringing the crafting world a bit of sunshine! Thanks, Toni from Texas

[@jacquelinecrawford7457]

I love the heat embossing technique; just beautiful! Stacy, you shouldn't have to apologize for running out of a product. You just have great sales. It is refreshing to see someone who cares more about the people they are selling (and teaching) to, then just making profits! Your products rock! And, I've missed a bunch because they do sell out fast. Regardless, I love your technique videos!

[@margaretmark7127]

Love the look of acetate & vellum! So pretty! Thanks for sharing the new ways to use both!

[@juanitadubois3842]

I love watching your videos. I never grow tired of the new ideas/products and the ideas that I get from watching!!!! I did see in one of your previous videos that you had a house fire. I am truly sorry this happened, It was hard watching as I too had this happen 18 months ago. It was a tragic fatal event I shall never forget. Thankful your family escaped safely. People, please check your fire alarms regularly. It can happen to anyone.

[@kathymartin1223]

Great video!! I love the heat resistant acetate. My husband and I love that you care about people so much. Thank you for all the new ideas and ways to use the products we already have.

[@traciallard2310]

You always let us know when quantities are limited. No worries. I love the mom and pop store support you encourage. Your videos inspire creativity.

[@gailgale2375]

Stacey, you are the best!!!! You are so generous!!! I love the way you do your business!!! I love your videos. I always learn so much!!! Thank you, Thank you!!!

[@charlenebaltes7817]

I prop my computer up on my craft table and watch you. Stacey,it's like crafting with my sister! Love you.

[@connieellison7106]

I'm so happy I found your KZbin videos...I learn so much from them and love seeing all the creative ideas! The large Stampendous stamps are marvelous! Thanks for all you do!

[@jackieporter7973]

Love the vellum ideas! And seriously, never change...your philosophy on keeping the industry going and having many great sales throughout the year so that more people can afford to craft... that's rockstar and why I buy from you so often. Yes I have Amazon prime and when I want something fast I buy there, but when I can wait I go to your store or when I'm not sure about trying new things, I buy during your sales so it's not as big risk of a risk. Don't ever feel bad for running out of something, you are not a huge corporation and we don't expect you to be, we love you just the way you are :)

[@Amywazwaz06]

Stacey you are the most generous person ever. I love that you think of the whole crafting industry before your own personal gain. I never knew that about the insurance company and payouts from a big incident. I am sure you have helped a lot of people. Even in your pitfall you are helping others out of theirs.

[@lisamoline7474]

WOW Stacey, what beautiful cards! Love those stamps and that heat resistant acetate! I so much appreciate your youtube classes as I'm sure so many of us do - thank you so much for taking the time to do these!!

[@smacrafts]

You are such a kindhearted person!!! I appreciate all your tips and classes!!

[@michellerickard1290]

So beautiful. You continue to teach this old dog new tricks! Thanks ever so much.

[@lindaanderson7375]

Oh Stacey, such fun! To see new ways to use items in our stash is economical. I think it's wonderful you offer great deals when you can and understand they only go so far. Please don't be discouraged by a few people. i love shopping with you. and the videos!

[@peggypighetti9517]

Stacey love the new ways to use what I have! I adore the heat resistant acetate and the backgorund stamps are awesome. Thank you for all you do to keep us creating and crafting!!!

[@deborahmitchell8702]

Stacey, your heart is in the right place and that is THE most important thing! Thank you so very much for making crafting affordable for me. I look forward to your videos every week. I may not be able to order some things, but I am always learning something new. Thanks so very much!!

[@lorimoshier5611]

Every day I grow I O..... you have taught me so many fun things to do ~ love love, love these big stamps. Thank you and have a wonderful week!

God Bless you Stacey! You are one of a kind person and I appreciate you soooo much!

[@Jeannette.akaJnett]

Good info for people struggling with such devastation. Keep the faith, it will all work out in the end - I truly believe that. Loved the new products and the info on how to use them. You honestly fill a void that many of us need. Thank you and God bless.

[@mimic98]

Both techniques are absolutely beautiful and I would have never thought of either one. Thank you for all of the great ideas you pass on to us.

[@donnagearing2156]

Stacey you don't need to apologize. When you have them on a you tube yummy and at a great price like that , if you don't order right away then that's the chance you take. You have such h a big heart. Coming up with the other method to get a similar look. Your terrific. You all have a great week. Love Donna

[@helenbudz3966]

Stacey, totally understood how you could sell out so quickly. I was delayed watching your KZbin last Saturday until later in the day--just under that 5 hour time and only got about half the colors (1 disappeared as I was finishing my selections)! With those incredible prices, I was not at all surprised. This week's #218 truly made up for any limits last week. I love working with gelatos, heat embossing, and even have a black Staze On ink pad I haven't opened yet. Your showing how to use these today has made my day! As always, thanks for you and for Scrapbooking Made Simple!

[@alicegoehrig4820]

Love the new dies and with stamps oh my. The contour dies are my favorite.. Thank you for all that you do for us crafters, and especially the challenged ones like me. I can never seem to get my ideas to work out then you show me how.

[@cyndiagilbert6216]

Your prices are awesome! I appreciate being able to get items I usually can't afford. I love your videos and your store! You're awesome! Thank you so very much for all you do!! God bless!

[@elishak721]

Hey Stacey! In my book, you're the winner winner chicken dinner! Anyone who is called to teach gives a piece of themselves to others, thank you for sharing your heart with us.

[@deeramos2139]

I love how you care so much for your customers. You Rock!!!!

[@scottpegg29]

Stacey, I figured that your super low price on the alcohol inks would prompt a buying frenzy!! I'm never ever surprised when you sell out of stock quickly! You offer unique products at great prices - who wouldn't want to save a buck or two!! Thank you so much for all that you do!

[@rhondabutters2288]

As always thank you. My husband listens and has you on facebook even though he does not craft. He loves your laugh, your whoohoo kachoo, winner winner and all your other little quotes. He asked me if you had updated how you and your family are doing lately and I told him the last update I could remember and that was you are now in your rented home. He said ok but really how are they doing? I told him I wish I could have the strength and attitude you have because you are such an inspiration. I just went on a 72 hour walk with God and one thing I learned was attitude and you are my example, I am going to change and be a better person. Thank you and God bless you and your family.

[@JayDub_143]

Stacey my dear you have the most beautiful Gidget bangs!! Love the card you created and the techniques you shared. You are so absolutely right with a statement you made, you my dear are a ROCK STAR!!! hugs and lots of love and prayers!

[@sharonleach1715]

Thank you Stacey, I love your heart and the awesome talent you possess, never change! Awesome you tube!

[@susanwest6522]

It is amazing that you feel the need to apologize for being a caring person. I am one of the folks that wanted to get some of the inks and missed out. I did not even think to call or write and give you a hard time about it. People need to get a grip. Thank you Stacey for who you are and all you and your team do. Love this KZbin

[@kayteescraps6679]

I understand your motives and they are meant for good. It's 1st come, 1st serve. I appreciate your desire to share your bargain! Love your gelato backgrounds and the acetate. Every time I emboss, I love to see the change to shiny liquid!

[@saraharrington1569]

What a lovely application of the embossing powder. The girls always do such a great job.

[@normabartlett3474]

Stacey, you are the best !! If those mean people would stop being selfish and think they would know you are only trying to be kind with your prices. They should listen when you say something is limited. I for one really appreciate you for all you do. Your videos are always the highlight of my week. You take care and know you are loved for who you are !! 😄❤

[@cruisingstampgirl]

Stacey, this was anoither fun class. You always give us food for thought and help us think outside the box. Thank you!

[@sugarbaby1954]

Oh, Stacy, you are so kind and caring, I just love you. I wish I lived in CA. so I could meet you and your staff. I wasn't able to buy any because I didn't order right away. Ya snooze, ya loose! Thank you for being such a kind hearted person. I love your classes and products and YOU!

[@theresafugate1528]

Stacey, I've only been watching your videos about 8/9 months now, since I found you. I have laughed with you and cried with you over the past several months, have gone back to your earlier videos, and I know you have a heart of pure gold. I have never seen you try to push your products on anyone, you do encourage some of the necessities that people use on a daily basis as long as they don't need it right away. You always explain yourself about the length of shipping, and prices and when its gone, its gone. For crying out loud, this is your shop, your youtube channel, your retail store (one day I will visit CA, just to come see you, the sms girls and your store). No one should be complaining about anything. You give all of us very informative classes where we can actually learn. (I am one of the crafters on my own you mentioned). With the fantastic prices you offer, if someone wants to complain, they could be getting it sooner, or go to a big box store like Michaels where they charge 300-500% profit margin, and they have plenty of products. However NO ONE will ever have your gorgeous dies and stamps at your awesome prices. People should be grateful for you, and your videos, and the love you pour out to all of us letting us all know just how important we all are and how valued we are. Thank you Stacey and all you talented sms girls for being there for us!

[@lorraine8561]

Your reasoning is absolutely right on Stacey. Keep it going, you're a great businesswoman. We luv you!

[@julieporter8685]

As one of the people who missed out on the alcohol inks, I just have to say I understand and appreciate your practice of letting us try out new things for such inexpensive prices! Yes, I missed out this time but I've gotten to try so many new things because of you. No need to apologize! Also, great tip on insurance checks! Your heart is always in the right place!

[@glitteredgrace]

You have no need to apologize! Simply beautiful stamps & tutorial. thank you

[@glennistrotman8421]

I love your classes, I am a lone crafter, all of my ideas and learning comes from videos.

[@judyalbertson522]

Stacey, you are a very kind person, always thinking about us crafters. I appreciate you having you tube deals but I do not always have the money for them. But when I am able to afford craft supplies your deals are just wonderful and your mini lessons are very helpful. Keep up the good work.
