As they say, "In a world where you can be anything you want, be you". Really neat, I love it! God bless

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Hey, gf 🥰 Thank you so much. I couldn't agree more. Once we stop comparing ourselves to others, no matter what it is, our life is more joyful. Hugs and blessings are coming your way. xo

The skirt idea was fabulous!!!

You knocked it out of the park girlfriend. What an amazing collage. I just love the placement of her headdress, how it wraps around her face and the ostrich legs over the frame is perfect. Wonderful my friend ❤❤❤ 👏👏👏

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

GF, I lucked out with that headdress. If I had been planning on something like that I would never have been able to find it. Just my luck, right ... it's the only luck I've had recently 🤣🤣🤣 Glad you liked it. Hugs and stay cool, girl 😎💕💞💕

[@JulieBirdL]

Just when I think you may have exhausted allllll the creativity that resides inside your soul, you come up with this! Absolutely incredible! I love it! I love your style! I love watching every one of your videos! You ROCK! ❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Well, did you make my day! You are way too kind with your comment and appreciate you so very much. You are such a trooper to hang in there with all of my (sometimes long) videos. This is exactly why I create, for gals just like you! I am so happy you enjoyed the journey and you are a true blessing to my channel. Hugs and blessing !! I hope you have the best weekend ever. xo Thank you so much again for all your words. 💓

[@joymeadows3646]

Hi, Barbie! Such a fun collage! And every one of us is unique in our own way and we need to embrace this. Thanks for such an inspiring message. xoxo

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Hey, Joy ........ thanks so much, gf! We do need to embrace our uniqueness, don't we. The older I get the more I tell myself that, but myself isn't listening 🤣🤣🤣 Have a great weekend, and from what I hear, Deb is in the neighborhood. Hugs and blessings 💕💟💕

[@LisaCorneliusJourneys]

Barbie, Barbie, Barbie, I'm gobsmacked, and I'm not even British!!! Stunning composition, fabulous story! Love it! You are so right about The Lion King. I saw it in New York several years ago. It is an outstanding production!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Wasn't the Lion King the best ....... OMGosh ... fantastic. I'm so happy you saw it! Thank you so much for the wonderful comment, Lisa. It's even more uplifting b/c right now I'm listening to Jimmy Buffet and I'm feeling on cloud nine b/c I spent the entire day organizing my craft room. A big task and a great day to do it. Thanks again and I'm so happy to have you on board! Hugs, gf and have a great weekend. xo

[@MerryScraps]

This is amazing, I love it! The legs on the ostrich are perfect! Your headdress is also perfect. Love your message at the end.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks so much, Jeana. Pretty fun huh? Maybe something you'd come up with! TFW and for leaving a very nice comment. Hugs and blessings. Have a great weekend. Hugs xo

[@tatteredpaperandlace2905]

Wow! Barbie this collage is professional quality….simply stunning! I love the message too and your meticulous attention to detail awesome inspiring. My friend you have outdone yourself on this one. TFS❤️

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Aw, gee, golly gosh, Pam ........ you went overboard and I think I need to reel you in a bit. 🤣🤣🤣 You are so kind and I'm so happy you enjoyed the collage. This was a fun one to create. Have a great weekend and I'll see you soon. Hope you had a great trip. Hugs and blessings. xo 🥰🤗💕

[@csk5654]

Barbie, this collage is freaking amazing! I love it so much! The image of the actress is fantastic! I especially love your surreal collages. My brain does not think/create like this, so it is astounding to see what you have created. You are so very talented gf. TYFS Cindy

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Cindy, TFW and girlfriend, you can get there. Just pick out items that don't go together and work it from there. Start backwards if you need to and then move forward. You see how my mind changes until something clicks. If you ever have trouble contact me, tell me all you've pulled and I'll be happy to help. We can create something really cool together. HUGS. xoxo ..........

[@mrsA805]

[@lanakristoff5188]

I never feel cheated from your videos. Please don't feel you need to make certain content for anyone. All your videos are enjoyable. This one is creative and I really like the bandy legs and the skirt pieces. Such vibrant use of color. This is definitely frame worthy 😍 blessings to you and to yours.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks, gf ....... aren't those bandy legs fun !! This is already hanging on my wall with the others I really like. I'm happy to hear I didn't cheat you out of a true bird collage last week. I'm so happy you enjoy all I do, because I really enjoy having you sit with me and cheer me on. HUGS xo

[@J0yb3ells]

Beautiful. We flew to Sydney to see The Lion King in 2014 and absolutely loved it! Love your collage, as I loved the one with your mum. Hope you are well. 😊

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Hey, Joy ....... I am so happy you got to see The Lion King. FABULOUS production. I love Broadway shows but I won't go into the city now, not worth it. Thanks for sitting with me. Hugs and blessings to you and your family. xo 🥰

Thanks, Emilee Stone from Collage Soup 🤣🥰 I thought I'd serve up some Ostrich Soup this week. Hugs, gf and again, I LOVE all you do too, you make my creations come to life. xoxo

[@ChelleBeeby]

💜💜💜tfs💜💜💜 amazing collage page, and NO YOU didn't short change us last week, it's great to see different ways to incorporate collage into other projects... also, thanks for reminding me I hadn't yet visited collage soup for my new digi books, lol... I normally do it on the 1st (my 2nd, as Australia is in the future) but I've been so busy trying to sort out my craft room after a major overhaul that I clear forgot... so thanks!! 💜💜💜

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Are you in Australia, my friend? Thank you for the 9 💜's this week ...... I've been collecting them each time you comment. Yes, don't forget your freebies from Emilee ..... that's what I did today, sorted out and organized my craft room today. I feel so good now, I can make a whole new mess. Have a great weekend, gf and sending big hugs your way. 💖💖💖💖💖

[@dorothyradley9391]

Hi Barbie, great to see you with a super duper collage. It appears KZbin is not sending me all your videos even though I am subscribed to your channel for all videos. I accessed this one by going to your channel direct. Have you put up your Color Cube collage video yet as I can’t see it on your list of videos. I am a little concerned in case this is a KZbin issue at my end. I have been waiting for a video from you but I haven’t seen one until this one. Thanks, Barbie, for all you do for all who follow you. It’s great to see you back. Much love from England. xx

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Dorothy, maybe KZbin is sending them to you .. it was brought to my attention I hadn't made a video in 6 days. I had a couple gals checking in on me through Instagram, thinking something had happened to me. I guess the days got away from me; between doc appointments and the granddaughter visiting for a week. OOPS .... guess i was a bit of MIA 🤭😝 I am so happy you could sit with me for this fun collage. My color cube will be up tomorrow, this will be the 3rd one, you might want to check my channel to see the other two ... take a look to see if you've seen them. Thank you for all you do for me, Dorothy ....... I so love hearing from you, you always make my day and put a very big smile on my face. I've received some of your love from across the pond, keep sending it and I'll keep sending mine to you. HUGS and LOVE 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
