Thank you SO much for having me Sonett 🤗. This was so fun ❤❤❤

[@cindygetsfitschaus8097]

I needed to hear this from both of you today! Thank you so much. I couldn’t respond for some reason to the overall thread so responding here. I love your comment Royce that your friends helped you identify your true tribe. This has been a difficult few weeks, struggling a bit with my identity, even at 60! lol. I would love to be a part of your tribe.

[@Roycycled]

@@cindygetsfitschaus8097 I feel like we are always evolving. When my baby moved out, I had to get to know who I was all over again.. 🤣😂🤣. I suppose the challenge is to stay engaged, and keep growing. 🥰🥰🥰 Hugs my freind

[@loriweitzel]

​@@cindygetsfitschaus8097I hear you! I'm 62 and struggle too. I love being a "Boomer Bloomer" here on Sonnet's channel! 🙂❤

Thank you Patricia! 😊

[@user-qj9op2ky9c]

I love this! The fact that neither of you has your act together all of the time made me feel so at home with you!

[@lisafriend5535]

It was so nice to get to know Royce. She is an amazing creator and so inspirational. Thanks to Royce for sitting with Sonnet for this most delightful podcast.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you Lisa!!😊

[@tinaburke7252]

This was such a great interview. I am a huge Royce fan and you did an amazing job getting her to share her story openly and honestly. Thank you. My creative journey is just starting and I feel like I have been given the push I needed. Thank you Sonnet and Royce!

[@cindyd2236]

What an awesome lady! I've liked her papers for a while, but this was the first time i've seen Royce live and she is just such a beautiful, down to earth & inspirational person. I want to be her friend!

[@lynedington5587]

Great poscast. I just love Roycycled paper. Please ask her to make more Halloween/goth papers.

[@Roycycled]

Those are so fun to create 🤗

[@kirkcarson-vk7jc]

Had a lady call me said she was at our craft show And saw my furniture and smalls and said she had a 5 bedroom cottage and shed full of. Omg , I got 27 pieces for free so now my car is outside and I need a storage unit.

[@loriweitzel]

Wow! Score!

[@katiewhiston5864]

It is so great to get to know more creators on your podcasts. Especially before your creative retreat.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I agree Katie! 😊

[@kajlove1]

This is my first time watching your podcast. So glad to see Royce. I have some of her papers and I love them. I’m the crafter/upcycler/recycler in the family and my kids are both talented artists, so I guess it comes from me😊 I’m so glad you credited the Lord. He was my inspiration after salvation to start my business and I need to move forward in Faith. I’m kinda stalled.

[@hogwashgems968]

Loved getting to know Royce better. What an absolutely amazing woman! You both inspire me daily!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you so much!😊

[@ArrowsDIY]

Thank you for sharing ladies! You both are so inspiring ❤❤❤

[@colleenkirkbride5455]

Great interview! Your so right, that feeling we are all friends, getting to know each other better! Love it!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you Colleen! 😊

[@SandyPadgett-ml9tr]

Ok now I got on my own page it was under Kirk, so all I commented on was supposed to be Sandy 😊. Both of you have grown so fast

[@katieclark5813]

Thank you for listening Wilma!😊

[@loisfarmer1261]

I thoroughly loved this interview. Such creative minds.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you Lois!😊

[@countrygirlgramma]

OH Sonnet.....Please do the blooper video. So happy you did this with Royce. I'm a new Retailer for her also, and I love hearing all the stories. I think the moments like the fishing trip, is just the creative minds. I do the same thing when I'm out hunting.

[@loriweitzel]

LOVE this episode! The two of you chatting. Royce seems so down to earth and this episode was uplifting and spiritual for me. Talking about her name, when I first heard Sonnet say the name of her papers, I thought it was someone named Roy (Cycled Papers). Once I realized her name is Royce, I thought what a cool name! Just like the name Sonnet! Thank you for another great episode, Sonnet. Can't wait for the next one! 🙂❤🇨🇦

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you Lori! 😊

[@aprilpeterson6152]

It’s a struggle for me to commit to the October event right now in my life, but with each interview of all these awesome creators I know I’ll regret it if I don’t go! So fun getting to know Royce better! Loved the podcast!❤️

I just love you two! ❤️ Great interview! ❤️

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you Linda!😊

[@vickyzak-px2lp]

I'm still watching but I completely feel like Royce is my people! I was always creative, always making things from what I had. Teaching others to make. I love so hard that ir all started around paper mache! I always helped my mom make things growing up, she is super creative. We made a Mickey Mouse head out of paper mache for Halloween one year! I made things for the band and musical, props and table decor. I always made Halloween costumes for Hannah, my favorite being a Rubix Cube!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

That’s so cool Vicky!😊

[@joystone6460]

Great to get to know both of you two better. Goodwill also sells items from the Dollar Tree for way more than $1.25 too.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I’ve seen that too Joy! Crazy!

[@debmchale2568]

I am the oldest and had the same experiences on my string was shorter and by the youngest grew older her string was so long that she could do just about anything, We are such a throw away society now days

[@rachellarsen939]

What a great interview, I'm so upset because I can't get the box at this time. Love roycycled papers and I feel so sad, but still so excited for you guys and this is going to be amazing. Maybe some day I can get it. ❤

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Oh that’s ok Rachel. There will be plenty of opportunities to get the Maker’s Box! 😊

[@rachellarsen939]

@@SonnetsGardenBlooms but luckily my boyfriend was so kind and got it for me.

[@elsielaneartgarage]

Omg! That reminds me of the stupidest thing I did when I was little! I found a box of tampons and painted them all up for my Barbie’s for purses. My mom laughed so hard I thought she might actually die laughing…😂

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

OMG!! That is hilarious!!🤣

[@debhulet2431]

You guys inspire me❤

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you Deb! 😊

[@user-gj6zb1wz3s]

I know you’re trying to grow your business, but I miss your thrift flips, you don’t seem to have many anymore.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Hello!! I still do thrift flips…I have one coming out tomorrow. I’ve been a bit busy doing one of my big shows and thrift flips take a lot of editing. I try to do one a week. I just checked and one was posted 2 weeks ago and another 3 weeks ago. I love creating them so I’m so happy you love them too!! ❤️

[@ArrowsDIY]

Love your thrift flips Sonnet! ❤❤❤

[@karidubois255]

Wonderful video!
