I absolutely LOVE that machine!!! The reason some papers worked better than others, is because some of them are solid core.. which means black all the way through, or green all the way through, and some were either white core, or kraft, which is why the inside was a different color. When buying paper from scrapbook websites, amazon, craft stores, etc. a lot of them will say on the packaging if they are white core or not.. If you want to know if something in your stash is white or solid, just rip a corner of it. You'll see what's inside.. hehe (Hope this was helpful) The desk turned out so amazing. The engraving and the side carvings are just perfect. Also, I expect to see a Bentley House Minis mini book in your shop, because I want one, or maybe 5.. haha I enjoyed so much putting the desk together. It was super fast and easy.. It took me longer to cut it out on my cricut, than it did to put it together. now I'll have to think of some way to make it unique to me. Thanks for everything, Ara. You are the absolute best, and I'm looking forward to another year with you, and learning even more about making miniatures. Merry Christmas to you and yours, and a Happy New Year!!! (p.s. Those are my two favorite quotes from the movie)

Enjoy your newest addition to your family, get in lots of cuddles. We have already purchased a laser but my husband has only used wood on it. In the new year he said he would make me some kits to cut out of card stock and mat board. I can’t wait. We are in search of a 3D printer too. Not sure what kind to get yet but we’re looking. I know that you have demonstrated one or two of these too. I will go back and rewatch them. I hope you find time to lay in bed, with your feet up. Just relax and watch your favourite movies and some new movies. Just relax and breathe for as long as you want. You deserve it Ara, you work hard. Thank you for sharing your 2023 with us and I can’t wait to see what 2024 has to offer us! Have a Happy New Years to all the Bentley family. Hugs from all the way up here.🇨🇦🎅🏼🧑🏻🎄🎄❄️☃️
