I’m so excited to see these being worked up.

[@gabrielle8413]

Oh my goodness, I love your sweet little orange baby!! Thanks for posting this, I so appreciate the inspiration to make. 😊

[@cherylmacedo5521]

I’m drooling over here as you flip through your box of ‘forgotten’ Halloween ephemera and treasures. Oh I have an orange boy too, his name is Mitch and he’s a floof. Ok, back to this gift of my four + loves. Junk journals, Halloween, Tim Holtz and Orange kitties…

[@PlumFiggy]

Awww orange kitties are the bestest, I agree! Those are definitely four loves that I agree with as well. 🧡

[@MakersHaven]

I just stumbled upon your channel and I loved looking through all your Halloween papers and stickers and things!! So inspiring! I made some Halloween junk journals as well! The spooky theme is so fun to play with!🎃

[@PlumFiggy]

Well hello and welcome! Yes, I have a lot of fun when it's time for Halloween journals. I went to check out your Halloween journals and they are really cute! But I was more excited when I kept scrolling on your channel and saw that you recently went whole food plant based... Because SO DID I! Crazy! I'm at around 2.5 months in and 13lbs down. In your second video you mentioned staying with it because weight loss ebbs and flows, which is exactly what I've been experiencing too. I just wanted you to know that I'm right there with ya and also am a new subscriber! 😀

Halloween journals are the best ! Happy Halloween !

[@Lotje1]

I'm absolutely obsessed with your halloween themed collection and I've searched far and wide but can't find ANYTHING to order for myself. So I'm literally drooling over this video..

[@PlumFiggy]

Hahaha... Thanks so much!? I'm sorry you can't find anything you like. Seems like last year there wasn't anything I wanted either. You could look on a copyright free site for images to print off maybe?

[@cherylmacedo5521]

So….hi there, here I am again…👋🏻👋🏻. I need to tell you that watching you “sort” your individual signature bundles was so interesting and helpful. And I agree 100% that the papers you are putting in are FABULOUS. So cool. The black and white paper of the trees (forest) that you said your puttytat chewed on. That is what I am looking for…I love that. I love Halloween ephemera and graphics. Do you recall where it came from by chance ??? 🖤🤍

[@PlumFiggy]

I'm so sorry, somehow I missed seeing your comments! I got a lot of those images from a copyright free image site called pixabay. I think I searched something like spooky forest in order to find it. And thank you so much!! I really love doing Halloween journals! 😊

[@cherbowman]

This will be a fun project!👍🏼 I am lovin' the vibe!

[@PlumFiggy]

Yay! Thank you!

[@gypsierosejane6703]

[@donnasmalley8907]

Hey newbie here just came across ur channel and watched it and hey loved what u have done

[@PlumFiggy]

Hello and welcome!! Thanks so much! 😊

[@susannelson5695]

Hi! New subscriber! Very inspired by your beautiful Halloween papers! Do you have a tutorial on how you made the black dyed papers? Thanks!

[@PlumFiggy]

Hello and welcome!! Thank you for saying hello! 👋 You know what... I don't have a tutorial for that but I will tell you it is very much the same process as coffee or tea dying. All I did was add about a teaspoon of black paint to about 3/4 of a cup of water and mix it up. Basically you want very watered down paint. I've also used left over water from cleaning my paint brush, if you're only painting one color. Watercolor paints could also work but you may get different results depending on the quality of your watercolors. To do these I used the "dunk your papers into the mixture" method, then spread them out to dry. I didn't put these in the oven to dry. You could also use the spray bottle method to do these, which could give you different results. After the papers were dry, I took a more concentrated mixture of paint water to make the splatter marks. That's it! It takes a bit of time but I think it's so worth it.

Hello, Oliver! You are a cutie! Loving your theme, Tammy!

[@PlumFiggy]

Thank you!!

The kitten is adorable and of course he wants to play, how would he know you are not talking to him, just love him and play with him! So sweet! Why not give him a toy to play with and let him play alongside you? Sorry, can't watch you just pushing him away from everything he wants to play with. Kittens only understand playing and fun. Not filming.

[@PlumFiggy]

Yes he is very sweet and I do of course understand he doesn't know what I'm doing and he just thinks I'm playing and wants to join in. He has LOTS of toys, but it wouldn't matter because he'd just want to play with what I have anyway. I'm trying to teach him that not everything is always a toy and to have some manners. Don't worry, we spend most of our time playing. So this little bit of time you saw in his day was an example of him being a bull in a China shop and me trying to keep everything from falling all over the place on my small desk.
