I just love 49 and Market. You got some really cool stuff to play with. I love all the things you made. Thanks for hanging out with me in my craft room. 🤪

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Thanks for having me! 😂 i love all the 49 & Market stuff! Its so pretty! TFW! 💜

[@christinel8861]

More great postcards. So glad your healing is going well. They always tell you "you'll be fine" ... thwy just forget to add "eventually". I received your flamingo postcard yesterday. Its lovely. Thank you for the stickers too 😊

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

YES! Like, I know it won't last forever, but could you please tell me the truth!? Also, never rely on a doc who hasn't had the procedure themselves! They have no idea what they are talking about! 😂 So glad you got the card! Those cards took forever in the mail this time, so weird! TFW! 💜

[@marceehampton2269]

Stitches out!! Yayyyy! Hooray!!! Best day!

Postcards are such a fun size! Great use of bits & bobs. Happy to hear you are feeling better.👃👩‍⚕️🥕

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Thanks! Its just the perfect size to make little collages! TFW! 💜

[@tfntexas]

And the horse at the end!! Ruby!❤ 🐴🐎🧲

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Isn't she great? She's my favorite to give snax to, she's so gentle and she LOVES snax! (I do too, Ruby!) TFW! 💜

[@angiethomson5296]

I watched this yesterday but think I forgot to comment. Love what you did.

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Aww thanks, Angie! TFW! 💜

[@tfntexas]

Oh yeah…duh. I love the cards you created. They are lovely! ❤

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Thanks so much! 💕

[@kimshepherd6911]

Loving the black and white with green accents- what a great combo! Seeing all of the bats has me excited to see if you are doing a nocturnal journal this year.

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Ohhh i may do a nocturnal journal! But it might be a bit different than last year 🤔 TFW! 💜

[@GinaLovestocraft]

What a fun day enjoyed spending time with you and listening while you create ❤❤

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Glad you enjoyed it! TFW! 💜

[@barbkniess3985]

Sweet Ruby!! Cards turned out GREAT Laura! Guilty of hoarding my 49 & Market, its my absolute favorite!!

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Yes! it's so pretty! I just don't want to 'mess' it up, but really, I need to USE it up! 😂 TFW! 💜

[@YvonneA60]

Really love the cards, great inspiration.😍 Glad you are recovering after your op. 👍Your horse, Ruby, is lovely. My son has a horse and I know they need a lot of looking after. (Usually protection from the cold and rain here in Scotland!!😂)

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Thanks so much 😊 we live in the high mountain desert so my horses hang out in the cold and rain when we have it. They arent fans of our heat though! 😂 TFW! 💜

[@lampace]

Glad to hear you and your nose are feeling better! I have been doing a lot of card collages lately, in various sizes. A nice change after finishing off two collage junk journals. BTW I’m a Laura as well! 😁

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

The card size is just such a good size to do many different things! I have really been enjoying them! You have the BEST name! 😂 TFW! 💜

[@belindawallace5203]

I was quoted four hours for a gastroscopy the other week but thankfully it was a lot less. You must feel better without the stitches? Wishing you a speedy recovery. I love your postcards ❤ I’ve been making some too, it’s been fun. Ruby is adorable ❤🐎🥕

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Yes! My procedure only took about 45m total, so I was really glad it was that small. But DANG the recovery was a lot more than you'd have thought for a 45m procedure! I feel SO much better without the stitches! TFW! 💜

[@melodiewhitcraft495]

great cards, love them all 😊

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Ruby has freckles! I LOVE her!

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Her coloring is officially called “flea-bitten grey”. But yeah freckles! 🎠

[@marceehampton2269]

@@TheHalfassCrafter flea bitten? The hell? Who wants to be called that? Nobody. She has freckles. Plain and simple. lol

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

@marceehampton2269 agreed! We can just tell all the horse people to change it 😂🤣

[@melodiewhitcraft495]

aww Hi Ruby, eat up them carrots sweet girl, I totally got distracted when she came on as you know I listen n watch while at work lol so 😅 hi from the trenches. glad you are feeling better though gove yourself n body time to heal as you should ❤

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

🤗 Ruby will always eat all the carrots! She will even eat celery, which the other horses are all "What? absolutely not, garbage!" 😂

[@melodiewhitcraft495]

@@TheHalfassCrafter lol one of our doggos likes baby carrots lol, he likes anything that crunches. my aunt had a horse that liked the celery too.

Bitsy is my Gal! More for me! Hahahah

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Hahahaha Ruby and Bitsy are my old ladies-i just love em! TGW! 💜

[@tfntexas]

I love doing postcards too! I made one for you and have it ready to mail. I kind of stuffed the envelope so I don’t know if a stamp will cover it? 🙄 I’m sorry about the nose surgery…it doesn’t sound pleasant at all. I hope you get back to your old self soon. You’re making me think I should make a dermatology appointment…and definitely use more sunscreen!

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

A stamp covers up to 3 ounces I believe it is! I use a kitchen scale to weight my envelopes 😆 Not that I'm telling you what to do but yeah, make that appointment! If nothing else you get the satisfaction of knowing you have clear skin for another year! 💕 And yes, sunscreen! 🧴

[@marceehampton2269]

At least it smells like clean horses lol

I mean you are not wrong! 😂

[@suzyallen1726]

My horse was so funny. She did not like me to clean her paddock. Shed follow me around with my wheelbarrow and back her but in between the handles knock it over and use her hoof the scrape it back out😂😂

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Hahaha! Leon used to stand between me and the wheelbarrow and just act like he didn’t see me. I had to carry a dressage whip at one point for him to leave me alone 😂 i never had to use it but he understood what it was for! They are so silly, our beloved equines! TFW! 💜

[@marceehampton2269]

Hahaha it’s okay if it tears. You can just piece it together!

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Yes! I am very good at doing that part! 😂

Do you need people for your paper dolls at all? My area has several free magazines that I always try to pick up. Recently a couple of them did women's recognition, so quite a few head pics. I don't know if there is anything you can use but I'd be happy to tear some out and drop them in the mail. I'm still pretty new to glue booking. Not interested in trying the paper dolls YET, but I love watching yours! The post cards turned out great! Love your channel!

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Some folks have sent me parts for dolls. If you’d like to send me something you can email me and we can chat! My email is in the description box of the video. Thats such a sweet offer! Thank you! TFW! 💜

[@ChellesCreativeChaos2]

...just had a lil procedure done on my chest -- and "this won't take long" and "this won't hurt" and "you won't feel anything"....LIES!!!!! All lies!! It hurt -so bad! Healing now, but UGH!! Was not fun!

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

RIGHT!? as that dude was stretching my face to close the incision I said "ummm is this going to be painful later when this local wears off?" and he was like "eh, it shouldn't be too bad...ice pack and tylenol" OMG no. two tylenol every 4 hours and a day and a half migraine later....also, the tip of my nose is STILL numb! Glad you're healing! 💕 TFW! 💜

[@marceehampton2269]

I am talking to you so much in this video Hahahahah

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

LOVE IT! 🤩🩷💙💜

[@robinwebb2160]

Very cool cards ❤ I really like how you have your Tim Holtz ephemera stored. What do you use to attach them?

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

it's this adhesive amzn.to/4ddObQg (yes, it says permanent, it clearly isn't THAT permanent, and you only use a small tiny bit--unlike what you see me doing which is WAY TOO MUCH! 😂 ) TFW! 💜

[@marceehampton2269]

LAURA….Put the fern back right now!

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

I KNEW IT! I almost said “Marcee wont agree” 😂

[@bettiecrawford3117]

How do u attach ur ephemera to the Canon book pages? Thanks. Enjoyed this video. Thanks

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

I use a glue tape runner (this one: amzn.to/3zcWMnn) and the SMALLEST amount of adhesive. You just need a little bit, and it'll hold. Too much and it's stuck pretty good (But you can still get it off of the page). This is where I got the idea: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnbPnZuVhKZ6kNUsi=G63rvhkpTXF3nbY8 TFW! 💜

Not funny😂😂😂a movie nap is what my exhusband did everytime we went to the movies even jaws!!😅you have such a good sense of humor...oh well shes not sleeping on it😂

[@melodiewhitcraft495]

did you do a book on the tim holtz book?

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

A video you mean? No. I didn't, but @juicychristians has a video on it. I think if you search for her channel you'll find it, it's a popular video.
