Wow, that color is stunning! They turned out really beautiful. Also, thanks for sharing facts about Lupus. I learned a lot.

[@BlossyBTas]

Oh Marie thank you so much for such lovely feedback!!!! I really appreciate you watching my video and so glad you liked my makes. Yes the purple is absolutely stunning and I only wish I was better at taking photos so you could see how intense it is in real life. You are so welcome re Lupus, I feel very lucky to have been able to be part of this collaboration and learn more myself. Erin.

Beautiful Erin! I'm so jealous that you've got an XTool 😄❤💜

[@BlossyBTas]

Oh Karen I felt the same for ages about the XTool! It was a big investment but I saved for a long time and I'm really excited to incorporate new technology into my crafting. Thank you for that lovely feedback too. I'm excited to be part of this collaboration with you and am looking forward to watching your video!!!! Erin.

[@JunesSunshineCrafts]

Wooow Erin, you blew my mind!!! Brilliant and precise information on Lupus. The project is absolutely awesome. Thank you so much for taking part and sorry for missing the live. xxx😊❤😊

[@BlossyBTas]

Aww June you lovely lady thank you for such a beautiful comment. Coming from you it means the world. I was so nervous about getting the information correct so phew! I'm so grateful to you for the opportunity to be part of this collaboration and I have learnt so much about Lupus and it has opened my eyes to a whole world of new understandings. I really appreciate what you said about my little pots too! I'm looking forward to watching your video as well! Erin.

[@JunesSunshineCrafts]

@@BlossyBTas you were brilliant 👏

[@andreamassey3398]

Those are absolutely gorgeous!

[@shirleyandersen4724]

.it is good that they are doing something about studying lupus. i have had lupus for 40 yrs. and when i got it there was nothing about it .and not many drs knew about it .

[@jenniferr8195]

These are so sweet and lovely! Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed the video, from the makes to the information sharing! You have a wonderful voice! So soothing and calming to listen to! Thank you!

[@BlossyBTas]

Jennifer you are amazing, you've made my day! What a beautiful comment to receive, thank you. I'm so pleased you liked my little purple pots and found the information interesting too. I love sharing my crafting online and am so glad my voice and tone are ok to listen to!!! I really appreciate your support. Erin.

[@KustomKre8ted4UByU]

Love these Erin, they are absolutely beautiful and perfect for lupus awareness. Thanks so much for raising awareness for lupus through your beautiful art. -Beverly

[@BlossyBTas]

Oh Beverly what a lovely comment to read!!! Thank you so much for watching the video and yes, Lupus awareness is so important and I'm so grateful I could learn so much myself about it. As always your support means the world!!! Thank you. Erin.

[@TheResinersPourHouse]

Erin, you are getting so good with your presentation. You sound so smooth and confident. What a great make my friend!! Love the color! ❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@BlossyBTas]

Omg Jen you just made my day!!! Smooth and confident???? Haha love it! I feel like they could be my morning aspirational statements. Erin, you sound smooth and confident! Instead of the blurty bumbling blah I feel sometimes lol! Thank you so much re the colour too, it turned out so pretty! Thanks so much for taking the time to watch my video and leave such a lovely comment! Erin.

[@debbybingham8995]

How interesting to see that X tool working. October here in the states is breast cancer awareness month, therefore no Lupus until May. Your tea light holders came out beautiful.

[@BlossyBTas]

Debby thank you so much for watching and leaving such a lovely comment! Oh the xTool is definitely fun. I'd like to do a lot more with it but I'm a bit worried it will bore people or turn people off who don't have one. So I try and just marry it in with my other projects. Thank you so much re the tea light holders. I really appreciate your support! Erin.

[@twistedimaginings]

They're awesome ❤

[@BlossyBTas]

Hello and thank you so much for watching my video and leaving me that amazing feedback! I really appreciate it! Erin.

[@chloeainsworth4334]

Thank you for doing this. I have never seen anyone do this before for Lupus. I suffer from Lupus and psoriatic arthritis and the pain and sickness is unimaginable.

[@BlossyBTas]

Chloe what a beautiful comment to receive, thank you so much. I am so sad to hear about your struggles and the more research I did the more I felt what a cruel condition Lupus is. It is great though that there is increasing awareness of it as I imagine that sometimes people in your life might not realise you have such debilitating conditions because they don't recognise the symptoms. I feel very privledged that June from June's Sunshine Creations created this opportunity to share some love for the Lupus community! Erin xx

[@wendygordon9106]

Very beautiful pots 😃

[@BlossyBTas]

Wendy thank you so much for watching my video and leaving me such lovely feedback! I appreciate it so much. Erin.

[@MadHatterArt-Tiffany]

These are very beautiful! I love that the xtool can engrave on an eco pour. Amazing job 💜

[@BlossyBTas]

Hey Tiffany, thank you so much for watching my video and for leaving this wonderful feedback! Oh I agree re the XTool F1 engraving on eco pour, it is a game changer!!! I had really hoped it would work on epoxy resin too but OH MY GOD do not try this at home lol! It does not and the attempt was awful!!! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment, thank you again, Erin.

[@MadHatterArt-Tiffany]

@@BlossyBTas lol, thank you for the tip and I will definitely keep that in mind if I ever get an xtool!

[@AllysonWonderlandOfResin]

💜So much appreciation for u taking the time, research & compassion to cre8 this video & project. As a Lupus Warrior myself, I can attest to how incredibly difficult it is to find concise information for urself, let alone, to educate others. It is a vast, deep & mostly frustrating journey. Possibly due to living in the U.S.!? My experience has been the “so called Specialist”, Rheumotologist, we rely on for all our treatment/answers, are regular Primary Care Dr’s that took a weekend class, learning from outdated medical books. They’re filled with presumptions about what causes this disease & how to identify or diagnose a patient, then WalLah.. they’re now a Specialist! Our diagnosis is based on what they call markers. U must meet 7 out of the 11 markers, which stands for symptoms ranging from bloodwork to rashes or other ailments. Sorry 4 the rant, I suppose I am still frustrated over the lack of answers & knowledge surrounding all things autoimmune related. What ur video did was call awareness to those who are suffering silently & feel unseen or recognized. I send u so much gratitude for thinking of others & taking the time to educate urself, which in turn educates so many others. Ur pieces are beautiful. I know u will receive so much positive feedback & appreciation from many individuals like me! Blessing u with Love & Light! 🦋💜🦋💜🦋💜🦋💜

[@BlossyBTas]

Oh Allyson I'm so sorry to hear about Lupus for you but you sound like the best person to help educate others as your own journey to diagnosis was obviously frustrating. I learnt so much in my research and one of the things that stood out to me was that it disproportionally affects women and in particular women who are non-Caucasian. Two subsets of people that often are discriminated against already or at higher risks due to their socio-economic status, cultural views and living standards. That just feels so unfair. I hate that it is a battle in itself to just get diagnosed, let alone get support and treatment. I really hope that Lupus awareness can just keep increasing and that organisations can be funded to provide that critical education, support and research. I really appreciate you sharing your story with me, it means a lot. Thank you so much for watching my video and for taking the time to leave a comment too. Erin.

[@mattersofthehartbynat8815]

Another awesomely entertaining and educational video Erin… those pots are just adorable!! And, another close to home charity… my eldest daughter (38) has Lupus, and was diagnosed about 3 yrs ago… and, although she is noticing an increase in joint pain and strength, she handles it well. She suffered with awful welts and rashes on her face, neck, shoulders and upper arms for many years before being diagnosed. When she was about a month old she developed a mass of red spots on her torso… a couple of months later, she was diagnosed with Urticaria Pigmentosa and, just as we were told would happen, they disappeared when she was a young teenager… the rashes started to appear a few years later… and I have often wondered if they were at all connected. Ok… enough of my waffling for one day!! Luv ya lots. ♥️♥️🇦🇺

[@BlossyBTas]

Um excuse me Nat, I happen to love your waffling!!! Waffle on I say! Oh that is so interesting re your daughter. I learnt this during my research, that diagnosis can take a very long time as Lupus often presents as a myriad of other things. That is so interesting re the early spots possibly being connected. I would hope that one of the Lupus foundations might investigate that? We are so lucky to live in an age where we can share stories like this and raise awareness. I love what you said about my pots too!!!! Thank you! As always, you're the best! xx

[@LouSolCreations]

[@CobnutsandTuppence]

Love these, Erin. I am so desperate for a laser engraver. The pattern looks beautiful.

[@BlossyBTas]

Hi there and thanks so much for watching my video! I'm so pleased to be part of this collaboration with you and am looking forward to watching your video. I really appreciate those comments, thank you! As for being desperate for a laser engraver, oh I get it. I wanted one for so long. Between now and when you get yours though, if there are every any things you would like to know or want me to test out just say the word!!! I haven't really done much with it yet (only had it for less than 2 weeks) and it is a steep learning curve but I'm keen to share more. Thanks again!!! Erin.
