What a wonderful transformation of a plain calendar book.

[@BootsieSweettarts]

Thank you Anne. The calendar cover also holds my checkbook. Once in a while I DO have to write a check. LOL. Have a wonderful new year filled with peace, safety and joy.

Aweeee corner tip is awesome! TFS 🎄💙😎

[@BootsieSweettarts]

Thanks so much Beth. I’m getting over my fear of corner bindings. I get better each time. For the bags I make good bindings make a world of difference in how it gives that finished look.

Your teddy bear 🧸 backpack & accessories is great❣️ and now your covered mini 2023 diary 👍 Looking forward to spending more crafty time with you in 2023❣️🤗

[@BootsieSweettarts]

Thank you so much Kristina. Sorry for the delay, what with the holidays and all I missed your comment. I, too, hope that 2023 will bring more time for crafting with friends and friends-who-are-family. It’s all great fun and fellowship. Happy, happy new year.🎈🎆

[@BootsieSweettarts]

Thank you Jamie. I’m loving the hops a lot but I procrastinate so it always seems like I’m going to miss the deadline. I LOVE your narrations. Your enthusiasm is contagious . Have a wonderful new year filled with peace, safety and joy.

[@BootsieSweettarts]

Oy Laura! Sorry this is so late. My procrastination is not being helped at all by my geriatric memory. LOL. It is so wonderful to have you back in the game. Hugs and hugs and love.

It's been great to have joined you in your 2022 video hops . I have learned so much from you...... and you have such a delightful sense of humor . I so hope 2023 will offer future opportunities to be a part of your creative projects Best of the season to you Roy

[@BootsieSweettarts]

Thank you so much Barb’ra. I’m glad you are enjoying my silliness and explorations. I am having fun and it’s great to know that others are as well. Have a wonderful new year filled with peace, safety and joy.

[@barbclark69]

Great little project, Roy. Love how your whole set matches itself. I always modify the covers of the calendars too. But I stick to doodling and Zentangles and collage.

[@BootsieSweettarts]

Thank you Barbara! I have some other bear fabric that I like a lot so, when I have some extra time (lol… ) I’m going to make another set . Have a wonderful new year filled with peace, safety and joy.

[@kendraskraftykorner9027]

Love the calendar cover and the teddy bear fabric just made me smile. This would also make a wonderful check book cover. Thanks for sharing Roy💜💜

[@BootsieSweettarts]

Thank you Kendra. Now that I have one made others will go together really easily. I was dreading working with the vinyl but it turned out not to be an issue at all. I love my bear fabric collection too. Have a wonderful new year filled with peace, safety and joy.

[@janetnash]

Watching you’re videos always make me smile Roy. You’re out of the house bag is so handy, absolutely the matching teddy bear cover, adorable. You’re keeping it real and I love that. 🧵📏🧸

[@BootsieSweettarts]

Thank you Janet. I take my little drawstring bag almost everywhere I go. These bags are very deceiving. They hold a lot of stuff. Lately unique🐻 🧸 bear fabrics have been difficult to find so I’m glad I collected quite a few. They take a bit of time to make if I add the eyeglass case and grab-n-go bag but I’d like to make some more of them. I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season. Have a safe, healthy and joyous new year. ❤️

[@ArtJunkie]

Turned out great. I learned a lot. Merry Christmas 🎄 😊

[@BootsieSweettarts]

Thank you Shannon. Often I am only one step ahead of the class when I demo how I do something. AND sometimes I’m surprised how projects turn out. This was one of them. Somewhere along the way I got the courage to be a “”Just Do It”” person instead of over thinking and over worrying. Now I just have fun! Have a wonderful new year filled with peace, safety and joy.

[@ArtJunkie]

@@BootsieSweettarts I don’t know if you saw but I put u in my Saturday Shoutouts this week. I too am a just do it person. I’m too old to bother with worrying anymore lol

[@creativemix]

❤Oh I love that material! Love it! I have always wondered how to get my corners neat. And connecting the edges. Thanks! Happy Christmas!

[@BootsieSweettarts]

Thank you Maryanne…. And thanks for joining Meri’s Video Hops. Coming up with projects can be challenging and that is a good thing. Have a wonderful new year filled with peace, safety and joy.

[@MyMeriArt]

Roy, 3 cameras!!! Very interesting. I really like how you go step-by-step and show what you are doing close up. And now you have a complete set. Very nice. Merry Christmas, Roy🌷🌷🌷

[@BootsieSweettarts]

Thank you Meri. I had a LogiTech Cam for a while and then was gifted a newer one which gave me two webcams. Then I found out about ‘Droid Cams’ that enabled me to use an old cell phone as a cam for OBS Studio app. It saves me so much time since I don’t have to be constantly moving and setting up for videoing. Have a wonderful new year filled with peace, safety and joy.

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Lovely project Roy, have a blessed Christmas!

[@BootsieSweettarts]

Thank you Arlene. Seems that even at my age I let Christmas sneak up on me. I’m always rushing around trying to get everything done. I even have a pop up reminder starting everyday from July thru to Christmas but I still procrastinate. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Have a wonderful new year filled with peace, safety and joy.

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

@@BootsieSweettarts I shall call you the King of Procrastination, you are royalty now.

[@SylviaD]

What a beautiful cover for your calendar 😍😍 I love your teddies bags 😍😍 thanks so much for sharing 💗 Happy Holidays dear Roy ❤❤

[@BootsieSweettarts]

Thank you Sylvia. I have a bunch of bear print fabrics. I snatch up new ones whenever I see them. Thank you for becoming one of my new and dear crafting family members this year. It’s wonderful to visit with you in all the live streams. Have a wonderful new year filled with peace, safety and joy.

[@SylviaD]

@@BootsieSweettarts thank you very much dearest Roy I wish you the best of life in 2023 ❤

[@lalagamma4452]

Boy this is such a lovely set. Genius Bro!¡ A real treasure. 🐞🏆

[@BootsieSweettarts]

Thank you Lori. I really get nice feedback and comments from strangers when they see the bears. I probably could sell theme sets with the right fabric but they take a lot of time to make. Still, it’s fun to see them finished. Thanks you for viewing and commenting. I hope you are staying well and safe.
