Love the use of the large hand holding the swan- very clever!🦐🦐🦐

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Aww thanks!! That hand is super neat! So glad I found a good use for it! 💜

[@myvagabondstyle]

I love your glue book rooms. They are so fun. I'm so glad you got the post card. It looks like it did pretty good through the mail. ❤❤❤

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Yes! Our mail is so unreliable that I admit I was worried. But so excited to have gotten it! Thank you again! 💞 TFW! 💜

[@ASampstamp]

I am with you on avoiding downtown in the summer!📚🛁🤠

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Yes! Its wild out there! Traffic hams at the roundabouts! (In Portland roundabouts are treated like 4-way stops so you can always tell when a Portlander is at a roundabout in Bend 😂) TFW! 💜

Hi, Laura It took many years of failures with my high desert landscape gardening but I now have more successes than failures. Here are a few of my best tips. Ignore any general gardening books because they are automatically written for areas with higher humidity. I've found I have better success planting in the fall because it gives the plant almost a year to establish before it has to deal with killer heat. Any plant that is new to me I plant 3, 1 each in 3 different areas (different soil, light, or watering needs). If I like the plant, the following year I replant any survivors to where they seem happiest, or buy more and plant by my survivor. There is a mail order catalog called High Desert Gardening that is a wonderful resource. Also, plants are as individual as people, and I find there are some I can't make happy no matter what I do. I love your outsized cat in the window. The great majority of my cats have been bigger than average. I'm very much enjoying this glue book and your chat. Nancy

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

I can’t tell you how many times I have filled a shopping cart at high Desert gardening and then I worry that I will kill everything anyway 😂 they are sorta pricey. My neighbor did buy a bunch of plants from them and after two years, they really look great! I like your idea of three plants in three different areas. I do have three very different areas and some of my plants do really well in one, two, or all three. And I never trust anything that’s on the labels! 😂 when I lived in Georgia, I grew everything, because anything will grow in Georgia just about! These are great tips. I’m going to reread them! TFW! 💜

[@lionunderthestars7019]

@@TheHalfassCrafter Good luck to you. I did make a boo boo. The mail order catalog I was referring to is High Country Gardens based in Utah.

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Yeah thats the one I was talking about. I get their emails every morning and i day dream about a beautiful high desert garden 😂

Loving your book, it’s really cute❣️❣️❣️❣️ 🧌

Thank you!!! 💜💙💚🧡

[@cherylstevens9665]

We used to get those books of different countries when I was a kid. They came with a sheet of stickers and we had to “lick” them to stick them to the pages. I doubt if they still make sticker books like that.

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Ohhh i remember those sticker books! Or something similar at least - where you had to lick n stick the stickers. My sister and I wanted the fancy self-adhesive ones 😂 TFW! 💜

What is Thai iced tea? I love tea. 😊

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

It is tea concentrate with coconut milk in it, I believe. My husband loves it, but it's too sweet for me. 💜

Those travel guides are really cool. Ive never seen a book where the photos were pasted in. What year are they from?

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

I forget exactly but the 50’s or 60’s! They are so so good! TFW! 💜

Hi what size book is best for a glu book or does it not matter

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Doesnt matter! Some folks like small ones some folks like big ones. Composition notebooks are the average and a great one start with! See my first glue book vid where i started with a composition notebook. Its so fun!! TFW! 💜
