[@terrykayb1236]

AWW, Luisa, you're always such a sweetheart...I can't even imagine why ANYONE would want to be mean, or even slightly negative to you! In any case, I'm sure you know that you're not alone...I watch a few other designers' videos too...and sadly, other sweet people seem to have the same type of issues here on KZbin. It just seems to me that much of the world has gone "over the edge" in recent years...and many humans don't act very "humanely" toward others anymore. Be that as it may, a lot of us truly enjoy both your beautiful designs & your lovely, soothing personality...and truly appreciate you sharing your time & inspiration with us. So please don't let the unpleasant few keep you from your fans! Just take care, have fun, and be blessed...and we should all be grateful that our lives aren't as sad as those of the folks who can't find anything more uplifting to do, than criticize others & tear them down! You just keep on being YOU, and know that YOU are special & loved by many! A BIG HUG is coming your way! 🤗🌷🌹🌻💐

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Aww.. thank you Terry. I think many times, people don’t realize how much their words and actions affect others. But, you’re right, we don’t know what’s going on in their lives to cause them to be so negative. I’m sure some people are just not in a good place and I do feel bad for them.😔

[@lorrainesmith6429]

Misty just ignore the thumbs down comments your an amazing designer and I look forward to your videos your awesome 👍

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Thank you Lorraine. 🙂

[@jariech87]

Absolutely beautiful! I love the pearls with that color stone and gold chain. Such pretty earrings also. I was so glad to hear you say that you weren’t going to allow those thumbs down stop you from continuing to bring us such an amazing collection of beauty in your designs. I literally wait to see your notification pop up on KZbin because of the inspiration and nature. There is quite a bit of jealousy among the jewelry designers world and I’ve seen nasty comments on some beautiful work from some designers. You are top notch in my opinion and I hope you will be able to ignore those that can’t appreciate true beauty in your designs. ❤️

[@lavernearnold5186]

Exactly what I would say!

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Aww…thank you Marie! 🥰 I appreciate all art, no matter the artist. Everyone brings something to the table 🙂

[@leslienakagawa8747]

I’m sorry about people being so nasty. I’ve been where you are, feeling like you think you are creating something lovely, and some people can’t help but criticize. You are a lovely person, and fabulous bearer. Don’t let a few negative people out there change your outlook. We love you! Thanks for opening up to us. 🤗🥰

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Thank you Leslie. You’re so kind 🥰

[@jerilynnbayer-fermier5475]

Luisa, your necklace is absolutely gorgeous. You are one of my favorite designers. So professional. Keep making your tutorials, please.

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Aww.. thank you! 🙂

[@susanm1875]

Dear Luisa If there was a monthly subscription to “Crap of the month beads”…as long as you had your jewelry tools my money is on you for creating something elegant and beautiful….just like you.💕

[@patsymatsumura4539]

There are hatter’s out there that all they do is make nasty remarks and they get paid to do it, so please don’t even acknowledge them by letting them know it gets to you. I love your work and the videos you make, I love your work so much that I can hardly wait to get my box so I can make my necklace just like the one you made. Please don’t let the haters get to you❤️

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Thank you Patsy. Sometimes I’m astonished at the hate I see on other channels. That’s why I do my best to keep my content positive. But you can’t please everyone 🙂

[@nancykaiser5737]

Oh my goodness....this necklace is stunning. Thank you much for bringing back BBB. I'm so sorry any one would give a thumbs down on any of your designs. Your designs are always stunning and unique. I think some people are just jealous and are mean out of spite. I'm going to attempt to make this one! Please keep doing Bargain Bead Box videos. I enjoyed them so much.

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Thank you so much Nancy. Yes give it a try! I love BBB! 🙂

[@vickygonzales1341]

I love this design. You are so talented and have such an amazing eye for design and detail. Please don't let anyone keep you from doing what you love. I always learn something new from you. Love it 😍

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Thank you Vicky 🥰

[@irissanchez156]

This necklace is so beautiful and dainty. I'm so happy to hear you will continue to share your tutorials with us. I'm new to jewelry making as a hobby and have learned a lot from you and others!!

[@naomiferreira9494]

You are very important in my life. I need your designs every day. I started jewelry making 15 years ago but now after recovering from a brain tumor, 7 months ago , I find your directions the bests to help me. “Writing this is difficult “ but I wanted to let you know you are very special for me, not just the jewelry but your talking and smiling “at me “help me. 💐Retired now so I have time !

[@lorigfgirl]

Oh, my goodness…you did it again! Such an elegant design! Love it!

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Thank you Lori 🙂

[@kyokopatoc1295]

I have learned a lot from your tutorials and really appreciate you sharing your awesome talent with us! I'm sorry that negative people bring you down, but please don't let the few sour apples change anything about you! Tons of hugs and Aloha from Hawaii!

[@renaeduran8049]

Here we go with the “HATERS” again. Just keep one thing in mind, there are more people that love you than people who dislike you. I’m hoping that these people will find something better to do than pick on other people. They probably hate their own life, beat their wives, hate their kids, do drugs, who knows. Don’t read that stuff Louisa, they are just jealous that you are so talented. Keep showing us your skills, don’t look at the thumbs down. Enjoy what you do because we do!!!!

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Thank you Renae. It’s good to get reassurance. I’ve actually been pretty lucky because most of my viewers are very sweet and kind. I only had the few thumb downs back when I was doing a lot of BBB. You’re right, the best thing to do is ignore and not feed the negativity by giving it attention 🥰🙂

[@emmiecosta8680]

Luisa, I was waiting for your tutorial, I can’t believe that any one would be so cruel. I think you are one of the best instructors on Utube !

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Thank you Emmie. Even in this video, I’ve received some thumb downs. I think people can’t help being in a negative space 😔

[@debbiecobb5757]

People giving thumbs down are not watching your videos, if they were they would see how thoughtful and professional you are at what you do! I fell in love with your tutorials a long time ago. I have learned so much watching you and I love your style of jewelry. You are my favorite designer and you are a friend and a very very sweet person! Please don't stop being you. ❤️

[@deborahhandzofpraise3115]

I love what you do! I always find inspiration even on boxes that didn't inspire me at first... you make it come alive! Please don't let trolls affect your publishing videos. They are sad, lonely and have nothing better to do with their time. You are am inspiration to me! Keep em coming!@-)-)-----

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Thank you so much Deborah. My biggest problem is that I try to please everyone but that’s not always possible. I’m going to focus on the positive feedback…which is what really matters. 🙂

[@sondranewall4462]

U R a great teacher. I have been beading for 30 years, and I enjoy your videos, since you are great with wire.

[@AveMaria-js9bu]

Luisa, I'm so sorry that you have been feeling down because of some nasty people who are just jealous of your talent. You are THE MOST TALENTED jewelry designer on KZbin. If I saw anyone leaving you a nasty comment I would make sure they changed it to some pleasant words. You don't deserve any rude comments. You share your time and your talent with us and everyone should be nothing but grateful to you!

[@jenniferhalstead3680]

Please don't let what jealous people affect what you do, I very much appreciate and enjoy your videos. People are just jealous cause they can't make beautiful things like you do.

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Aww thank you Jennifer. You’re very kind 🥰

[@gloriawojo7414]

Love your designs. You are one of the best designers on You Tube. Don't let the naysayers get you down. Some people would even complain if they were in Heaven. Please keep up sharing these excellent tutorials with us. Thank you for taking the time to educate and make us better beaders.

[@reynebuchholz1516]

Very lovely design. I always love your tutorials and find them very inspirational. It's unfortunate that you've received the negative feedback. I don't think some people understand just how much work goes into making these videos and coming up with the designs. I think you are fabulous and I appreciate all you do!

[@queenofcups9162]

Pay no attention to the trolls. Obviously someone, who sees your talent and great designs, put them up to shaming you. You are by far my favorite designer!

[@BeadedbyBettina]

Try to accept the thumbs down as a compliment, it’s people that are jealous of your talents, take it from someone who knows first hand how petty & cruel a jealous woman can be, keep doing what you’re doing if it makes you happy! I’m not a beginner but I still love your videos, they help me stay motivated! 💜 PS I think KZbin should require people to say WHY they are giving a thumb down

[@SoberlifeRach]

why anyone would put a thumbs down is beyond me.I don't think they should have the thumbs.I know that everyone has different tastes but people don't have to be negative or nasty because of it. You make gorgeous pieces and I appreciate the time and artistic magic you put into each video!Thank you Rachel from New Hampshire

[@cherylshiflett4384]

Louisa, The beauty of creating is choice of materials, colors, textures and styles. It’s a shame some people have such a narrow view. And don’t remember to think through before they push ‘send’. And sometimes you just have to block the subscriber because life is too short to be brought down my narrow minds. Please don’t ever stop because your tutorials and thoughts are very important to me.

[@veronikalugo8616]

Lovely, delicate and very feminine. Reminds me of some middle ages designs when gold and gems were more precious.

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Yes, it does have that vibe for sure! Very romantic too 🙂

[@darlingnikki1353]

I mean out of all the videos I've watched on the June 2022 bargain bead box, I honestly think this necklace is the most unique finished piece I've seen! I mean who wouldn't love this kind of unique approach to jewelry making?

[@tanyaregulus2121]

Luisa, remember we are all imperfect people, you can't please everybody but know this it's not about what people say....it's all about what you chose to respond too. So please keep up the good work, by the way this necklace is awesome.

[@elizabetholsen2914]

Luisa, don't pay any attention to the nasty trolls. They are not happy unless they are tearing someone down. Love this stunning necklace. I always look forward to your designs. Thank you for your amazing content. God bless you.

[@bluelily8289]

For the issues you had with cutting the steel - Beadalon does have cutters that are meant for stainless steel - they are just under $50 - but if you work a lot with stainless steel, they are worth it. I did buy them because I use stainless steel and titanium wire for a lot of designs, as I have people I make for that can only wear stainless steel, titanium and platinum. They are the "Designer Semi-Flush Cutters Induction Treated for cutting 316L Stainless Steel". As for the folks giving thumbs down, ignore them. I love watching your videos - even if a particular piece is not something I would wear, you always give me new ideas for patterns and color combos, as well as different uses for different shapes of beads.

[@barbarajeaniesjewels]

I love your designs. U have a lot of class in your designs and you give me a lot of inspiration! Don't pay attention to the negativity. There are a lot more people who love your videos than the negative people.

[@idlermo]

Like many others who follow your channel, I so look forward to seeing everything you design, Luisa. You are, hands down, my favorite designer and videographer. My brother has a saying, “What other people think of me is none of my business!” That has helped me a lot, but I still can’t help but feel the bite when someone is hurtful towards me. There is no use trying to deny that! And then, I remember my brother’s little saying and I eventually let go of it! I do appreciate that you are willing to show your vulnerability and tell us how you feel…you are just being honest and that is so important to our health. Also, I love how you hold the jewelry up in the outdoor light…really shows the beauty even more. 🌷🌸🌷Thank you for your labor or love with your videos.

[@mariwilliams9386]

Unbelievable that trolls would say anything bad. Your videos are excellent! Please keep inspiring us!

[@jenniferstock1592]

Don’t let the negative people get you down. This is a very original design. As a BBB subscriber I look forward to seeing what the designers do w the collections (a person can only watch so many unboxings, right)? You are one of my favorites. So don’t get discouraged. You work hard and it shows.

[@natalieharrison4318]

I finally got the time to make your beautiful jewelry creation for my daughter's 8th grade graduation for this school year. It's absolutely gorgeous 😍. She loves it. Thanks so very much 😊. Please never let the negativity get to you. I know that it can be hard sometimes but don't let it! You have a amazing talent. Keep doing what you love to do. I truly appreciate your unique talents and style beautiful jewelry creations. Your's are like no other's. That's why I follow and watch as many as my time allows me. I love your style 😍

[@karenrichardson1624]

Totally agree with Terry Kay B!! Beautifully stated!! Luisa please consider the sorce of the negativity and we all must try to feel compassion for those that can only feel good about themselves by tearing down others!!

[@debbieschultz9768]

I love the pieces you make. These beads are beautiful. I have noticed a lot of things about people. There is a lot of anger and rudeness. Customer service is a thing of the past. Our country is in the worst shape ever. Prices on everything is out of control. I just stay away from negative people, if I can. I’m sure it’s hard to let it roll off your shoulders when people are thoughtless with their words. Hang in there 🥰

[@z.startedafire]

do not ever let anyone bring you down. i enjoy your work and how truly brave you are and the fact that you take your time to make your videos gorgeous

[@TheMasterstouchJewlery222]

I always enjoy your designs. You have such a excellent presentation! Keep going.

[@cackie8813]

I love your designs!!! Wow I can't imagine even one thumbs down, even if not my taste, I enjoy your processes. Please, please know that you have way more fans than you know!!! We love YOU!!! Please keep creating, teaching, and informing us.

[@victoriacarroll227]

Dear Luisa I am so in love with your creations. Everything you make is unique and beautiful piece of art. You always inspire me to create beautiful jewelry. I love your style. And your work is truly stand out from the other Bargain Bead Box channels. I think the only reason they give you a thumbs down is because of the jealousy on their part. Please remember that you have a lot of subscribers who admire what you are doing ❤️ 😊

[@sparklys26]

I love the preview of nature scenes. Gorgeous. Beautiful necklace!!! Tutorial was so easy to follow. I enjoy watching them. ❤

[@lisaray9404]

Thank you for your videos and especially this one! It's funny, but whenever I come to one of your videos, I automatically click thumbs up, just as the intro is coming up. LOL! I have to tell you that your videos are precise and to the point. Your designs are really nice and pretty. Actually, I've not seen one that I didn't like - I love them all. I appreciate your efficiency on how you have everything set up, you don't waste time fumbling around or hem-hawing back and forth on how something is put together. You respect everyone's time in showing the tutorial on assembling the pieces of jewelry. I am dumbfounded at people hitting the thumbs down for anything you present. I don't think I'd worry about them too much though. Please remember that there are going to be 10% of the people out there who won't like us, no matter what we have said or done. I've heard that even Mother Teresa had haters. I'm gob-smacked over that one for sure. Please keep being the amazing instructor and designer that you are. I am looking forward to my coil buddy coming in tomorrow and to watching your great videos. Haters gonna hate, and losers gonna lose. Nice ALWAYS wins! Keep being sweet, nice and awesome! Thank you again! 😊💖🙏

The far greater number of people that watch your videos LOVE your work .. even if they don't take the time to leave a comment .. I started leaving comments only recently (to be honest I wasn't sure how to do it!) .. so keep your light shining bright and don't look back!! You are AWESOME!!

[@lindaoverstreet9526]

[@kimbain4368]

Don't take those thumbs down to heart. Apparently there are people who go from site to site leaving thumbs down with no care as to who or what the video is. Just think of the trolls as sad creatures who need help. Honestly, this is a thing. Grab back your mojo, girl! This is so pretty! I love this color pallet. The pearls in my bag were all like yours, with one bigger loop and one smaller. I figured to make that a design element. Anyway, you've done another outstanding job. Shake it off and don't let the bad guys win! You're already on a roll!

[@kathyberger6650]

I've learned......you can hand some people pure gold and they will complain it's too heavy. Keep doing what you do girl. Thank the haters with a smile . ( it makes them angry ) lol

Thank you Nena. You’re so right! Some people will never be happy no matter what. Perhaps they have difficulty in their lives. We’ll never know what others are going through 🙂

Thanks for showing us how you make the items and not just what you have made like some of the other designer's presentations of the monthly subscriptions.

I like that you point out the attention to the details that make your pieces so exquisite. Also, Thank you for not forgetting us Bargain Bead Box users.

Love from Arizona 💕🤗 Hugs..

[@Wendy-WackyWomanCreations]

I have recently discovered you channel and find your designs gorgeous. It's a shame that people are so mean. I have heard other designers say they get some pretty nasty comments. I am about six months in to the BBB . I hope you continue to show projects from it.

[@marikalathem813]

If I could add to all the other supportive comments….chasing algorithms in an effort to please others would be so unfortunate. Pls consider what inspires you to create and love your craft…I would suggest it is not driven by the need for approval. You do this work because you love it, are artistic and have the kindness to share your skills…everything else is irrelevant. I am a new beader and purchase a number of subscription boxes…sometimes I like some more than others but that is okay. As Margaret Mead said: “Life is under no obligation to give me what I expect”. I learn from all the utube jewelry creators and feel grateful that they share their talents with folks like me. I am constantly inspired and in awe of the work each of you do. With all the problems in this world, there really should be no place for ego or bead snobbery in this community. Peace.

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

I totally agree. I guess for me, it felt more like a “let down” back when I was doing a lot of BBB. Especially after having put so much effort into my content from beginning to end. Lately, I get mostly positivity and I’m super grateful. I love my viewers and the uplifting feedback. When I look at the analytics, I really don’t have anything to worry about but, as an artist, I’m hypersensitive. That’s something I need to work on. 🥰🙂

[@FlorenceFrazier2002]

Hi Louisa, your designs are good. I think it’s the box that is the problem. It’s a bargain for the money but not very carefully designed. You are one of my favorite designers.

I love this necklace! I can’t wait until I make it for me. I’m waiting for my peal links to come in. I love your tutorials. I have made a few of your projects. Thanks!! 🎉🎈

Awe so sorry you’re getting negativity on your channel. You have such a talent and I love everything you do and also you do have such a soothing voice and way about you that always has me coming back to your channel. I also get down when someone is putting me down but we just have to remember that’s them not us and continue being our true caring selves. On another note I have learned so much from you and wish I had half of your talent to design!

[@BNJewelryandArtwork]

Luisa you are very talented don’t let the negativity get to you. Haters are always gonna hate you just keep doing you. Seems like the more popular you are the more some people try to bring you down. Just keep pumping out your beautiful videos and know that 99% of your watchers appreciate them. 💕💕💕💕

Thank you so much. You’re so sweet. You’re correct. The bigger the channel gets, the more negativity I’ll see. So far almost everyone is very kind…I’m so grateful! 🥰

[@lavernearnold5186]

I always love seeing you put it on after you create it. It helps me visualize. Plus you always look nice in them!

I appreciate All your videos! I think you go above and beyond, in every thing you do! The videos, your tutorials, your explanations . I love your channel.

[@Maria.D.Velazquez]

Luisa, this is a beautiful set. I didn’t make a thing with the June 2022 BBB. I can understand why you would be pulled down by the negativity. I always learn something when I watch your tutorials. Thank you.

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Thank you Maria. Yes, it’s difficult to ignore the negativity for sure 🙂

[@Lindasmith-mh1vh]

I am going to make this. It’s beautiful. I may take the fresh water pearls off those links and make new ones. Otherwise I’m going to make it as a gift to a friend that’s getting married Dec 24. You did an excellent job making this. You’re the best instructor! I hope you’re doing well.

[@sondranewall4462]

This is one of my favorites, I love dainty pieces. Thank you for sharing.

[@carmenrichardson1419]

thank you for sharing your artistic and creative talents. I've enjoyed watching your tutorials. Thumbs up to you lady, you're doing a fantastic job.

[@trinag9515]

I love your unique designs Louisa, and I watch all your videos and follow u on Facebook. I don't understand why anyone would be horrible enough to give a thumbs down or leave discouraging messages, as u are kind enough to take time out and post videos full of inspiration and some gorgeous designs. I would like to say thank u to u Louisa as u videos help me so much with my own designs. Please take no notice of any negativity just carry on doing the things u love . By the way I was really looking forward to seeing a design from the may box I had a feeling u was going to come up with something amazing 🙂🤗❤

[@rowserm]

YOU ROCK. Love and hugs from Michigan.

[@carmenveal09]

What a great video! I love your get to the point, no waste of time attitude!! You are a great teacher!

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Thank you Carmen. I do try and keep my videos as efficient as possible 🙂

[@didibeads7978]

Absolutely GORGEOUS Luisa 😍

[@getvickiwatson8368]

I subscribe, I SO enjoy your designs and the way you teach. About you getting any negative feed back....different strokes for different folks and sometimes those folks are all bunched up together hahaha. Haters gonna hate my friend, but it is obvious you do this because you love doing it and even though I let fear keep me from making more...(I know, I know), your teaching and your designs give me the encouragement that I might could do these too! I also know that you do know what is quality and what is not and you tell us when quality does matter-thank you. I have bought your Magic Rods in both 9 and 12" and an extra set for my friend because you didn't PUSH it, but you did show why it's so valuable. You do you because we are watching :)

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Aww…thank you so much! You’re very kind. I really appreciate your words of encouragement. And I hope I’m encouraging you too! 🥰

[@dianeescoffier8652]

Delightful, this is, Ms. Luisa!!! It looks really nice on you. I received my June Box a bit ago and to be honest, was quite stunned at what I considered the lack of color or perhaps it didn't just jump out at me...So I thought, can't wait to see what MMD comes up with! And sure 'nuff, you excelled in your design. I am thrilled with it now, and and have figured out how to work with it. Thanks so much for the tutorial and especially the inspiration---top notch.

[@judyrieck4816]

So pretty and formal if needed.

[@lavernearnold5186]

I saw this on TikTok yesterday and was very excited to see the video! Very nice!!!
