I agree two down-falls of washi: when it doesn’t get used & gets old and sticks to itself and too big a donut hole! 😂

[@hazelanakadesign7071]

Hi Carol, apparently, nuking an old roll for a couple of seconds in the microwave helps with the first part.....I've done that. Big donut holes are beyond our control as long as manufacturers want us to believe we're getting more than we are....but some of it is so beautiful, we keep buying it! H

Hi Hazel, Happy New Year 🎉 great share of your scrappy pads with your washi tape … happy creating in 2025!

[@hazelanakadesign7071]

Hi Caroline, I'm just back from CO & playing some serious catch up with video watching & comment replying & all else that falls by the wayside when one is gone for any length of time. Happy belated New Year! My chosen word for 2025 is RISK so expect more experimentation, risk taking, use of neglected tools & supplies, more mixed media this year. Hugs, H

@ awesome 🤩

I love listening to you, Hazel, as you work. But I need a couple of questions answered!!! what are you going to do with all those cute tiny books?? and - same question: what are you going to do with these interesting scrappy pads???????😊

[@hazelanakadesign7071]

Hi Linda, right back at you, I love getting your comments and questions! I include either or both with orders I'm filling and/or happy mail. Now, that I'm marginally more organized, I also reach for them when I need something for a pocket or tuck. But like most other things in life, I DO have too many...lol. Hugs, H

Happier new year to you hazel.😊❤I really don't understand how you creators talk while you craft. I can't talk while I drive. As a medical secretary by trade I had to multitask all the time and im burnt out. 😂😂😂 hugs hazel from little egg harbor nj😊❤❤❤

[@hazelanakadesign7071]

Hi Suzy, well, some of us do it better than others, that's for sure. I hate videos where the host goes silent....in my humble opinion, they're not teaching anything if they aren't explaining anything + it's hard to multi-task when you need to be glued to the screen instead of just listening & looking up occasionally. And that, dear friend is my rant for today. BTW experts say that multi-tasking is a myth...we aren't giving either activity the care & attention it deserves.....so you're ahead of your time not burnt-out! H

Happy New Year!! Very cute scrappy pads! Great use of washi! ❤❤

[@hazelanakadesign7071]

Thanks, Gwen. I just got back from our annual junket to CO so I haven't seen or done anything for ages. Are you taking part in Lorie's challenge? Hazel

[@GwenTheTrashWitch]

@ welcome home! Nice to have you back! Happy new year! I’m doing Meg’s junk journal January. Having fun with a smaller journal.

[@hazelanakadesign7071]

@@GwenTheTrashWitch It kills me that there are so many worthwhile & fun challenges, collabs, swaps etc & not nearly enough time to do any/ many of them. Good luck with Meg! Smaller definitely helps the cause. H

@ yes!! Where do the days go!!
