[@KittehNow]

OMG❤❤❤❤❤your videos are perfect the way they are. You do what works best for you to be able to post them...they are ALL such a treasure.

[@annevai]

Ahhh 40 mins!! What an awesome start to the weekend. Liking before i even watch ❤️

[@sandihester]

😂🤗😂 I’m glad that excited you! Hope you enjoy it!

[@heianwoman]

You are perfect with your videos. Long videos are good. Every thing you show is wonderful.

[@sandihester]

Thank you Heian!

[@sarahzahed531]

I teared up watching you opening Casey's gifts. It was a reminder to myself that there's so much beauty and beautiful people around us; thank you Casey and Sandi!

[@sandihester]

YES! Totally agree Sarah!

[@maudhiemstra]

Really love the video’s the way you make them until now. Unexpected twists keep me curious and your thought processes are inspiring. I so relate when you talk about ideas in your head and getting bored just as easily if you fuss to much. There is such an element of fun in your video’s and the way you approach art is refreshing. In my country (the Netherlands) art can be a snobbish subject and saying that you are an artist is frowned upon if you are not educated as an artist. I have been a shadow artist for most of my life, learning new skills all te time and teaching them to others, but afraid to make my own art a priority. You (and others) inspire me to take that leap of faith finally and start making art just for the sake of making art for myself. So a big big thank you for that inspiration ❤️❤️❤️ wishing you and your family (furry ones included) the best holiday season, warm hugs, Maud

[@sandihester]

That’s so interesting that it’s snobbish there if you’re not trained - I’m sorry to hear that because you just don’t have to be trained to be an artist. Keep leaning in to just enjoy creating - don’t worry about how the country sees things - just enjoy it! I’m rooting for you!

[@carirakai2588]

Agree with Sandi, Maud, lean in! Enjoy the process, learn as you go, be proud of what you make.

[@julieknudsen6297]

I love the way you make your videos. There’s nothing that needs improvement.❤️

[@sandihester]

Thank you Julie!

[@charleneroodt1815]

Sandi, I really love your video's. I came across your stuff on KZbin. I am making it a binge watch for this weekend watching all you video's. I just got into ink. I always did my stuff in graphite, this year I decided to try expanding my art. I am currently doing the Inktober 52 challenge and loving every moment. You inspire me to no end. Well, I actually just wanted to thank you for all you craziness, love and originality. You make me want to be a better person and artist. Keep up the awesomeness. Give Cooper a big hug, he is so cute

[@sandihester]

😭❤️ thank you for writing Charlene!!!! Such a kind note!

[@beccywilson1349]

personally i LOVE slow speaking , pauses , deep breaths etc . its actually real and relaxing . We are stimulated by the amazing colours and images and your gorgeous rosey cheeks so we dont need fast talking . We all miss real face to face interactions . so the more authentic the better .

[@sandihester]

Good feedback- thank you!!!

[@trudyberry3267]

Thank you for shining your beautiful light into the world Sandi. You have bought such joy into my life this year and have fired me up to get back into my art. Your joy and authenticity is highly infectious and we need more of that in the world. You are my arty angel. Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family. 💜💜

[@sandihester]

Awe - thank you Trudy!!! I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying the videos and I thank you for your kind words!!!

I just found your channel recently and I just want to say that I absolutely love your videos, I literally love you and want to thank you for sharing your light with the world. You have been an absolute blessing and medicine to me during all the chaos in the world. I've been binge watching your videos and they warm my heart. Sending you so much love and wishing you the happiest of Christmas's Sandi, love Zoe🥰❤️xxxx

I LOVED THIS VIDEO SO MUCH!!! Thank you so much darling Sandi and Merry Christmas to you and Grady and your sweet animals and your whole family. Your videos are the highlight of my week! I love you so much. Keep on keeping on. I don't think you half know what a huge impact you are making in the world with your art, kindness and pure joy. May many blessings be yours, always and always... 😘💖🤗 (And, I'm writing this in tiny tiny letters so you can barely see it. I watched that thrift shop video again and you REALLY REALLY need that turquoise and white sweater... sssshhhhh.... just sayin...) 😊

You made my eyes well up Maitri! Thank you for such a kind note!!!! I’m sorry to report that I haven’t made it back to the thrift store BUT if I do and the teal dress is still there I promise to buy it 😂!

You crack me up! I love your honesty and of course, your art. Keep going through the new year! Thanks for sharing, Sandi.

[@sandihester]

I’m glad it gave you a laugh Darlene - win! 🤗

[@thebirdartistscottage]

I am so glad you shared the process of your Nativity with Extra Guests painting. All the guests were wonderful but Zacchaeus especially made me smile. There are so many things to love about this piece: it’s so expressive!! What I love the most, though, is how you share your faith artistically with joy, playfulness, and abandon. Your light is shining so bright, Sandy; that nativity star ain’t got nothing on you. 🌟 Merry Christmas to you and your family!! With love from Oregon, Tara Kate

[@sandihester]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it Tara Kate!!! Thank you for your kind words - I really appreciate everything you shared!!!! Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!

Sandi, I found your channel about a month ago and I was actually a bit sad today when I realized that I'm all caught up on your videos! 😭The sadness didn't last that long though because I quickly decided to start over from the beginning. 🤓I absolutely adore the nativity painting and my fave is the lady (Mary?) holding baby Jesus in the beautiful patterned dress. 🥰Thank you so much for sharing so generously. I wish you a wonderful relaxing christmas! Lots of love. ❤️

[@pamzavada5269]

I love your nativity celebration. It looks so festive and I love the faces, even the wonky looking ones cuz they're so you! I'm glad you changed Jesus's face cuz he looked like he drank a little too much of the wine with that red nose. I loved the patterned wall and all the great patterned clothes on the guests. It's fantastic. Have a great Christmas Sandi! See you soon.

[@sandihester]

Your "Jesus drank too much" comment cracked me up! Merry Christmas Pam!

[@sandihester]

That is so funny Charlotte!

[@lulabelle33]

Looking back with the veil of time. Still love the Christmas painting celebration so much. When you say maybe you should start again bigger, but fear you'll get bored. Really spoke to me. I often get fired up and envision doing a whole series, I'm often over it by end of painting 1 even if I have more ideas.

[@MSKCCooke]

I am only half way through but I just had to pause and say to that Casey that this KC (I pronounce it the same way) is so impressed! How thoughtful. You clearly have watched and paid great attention (as we all do) to all of Sandi's videos! Lol, I kept thinking, oh please let her have found good bananas! Nice job! How very sweet! You are a fantastic gift-giver!

[@sandihester]

Yes, Casey did give me such a sweet sweet gift!

[@liliax9147]

Most youtubers script their videos mostly or completely. The editing on yours has never bothered me, personally!

[@Spiroffd]

Just wanted to pop in and say that the long videos are wonderful. Continue to do what feels right for you, however if it’s not broken then there’s not need to “fix” it. :). I also wanted to say that I appreciate that while you share your art supplies with you your channel has never been an on-going infomercial for all the latest and greatest supplies without ever seeming any actual artwork being made! You are refreshing different in that you actually make and use the art supplies that you so. I just really tired of all the talk about art “supply collections” ( I had never even heard of that concept before KZbin.). An art who actually paints and shows us the supplies that you actually use! :). Have a very Merry Christmas as you celebrate this holiday season. I am grateful to have found your channel.

Thank you Sandi for another great vlog. A nice way to end 2021. I really liked your modern twist on the nativity scene. Whoever buys the painting of Mary, Joseph, Jesus etc. sitting around the table are very lucky. Talking about lucky, how kind of the viewer to send you the plastic fruit, the bag and the books. The Maud Lewis book looked excellent. Thank you for sharing this with us. Also thank you for providing great KZbin content this year 2021. I’ve enjoyed all your vlogs and always gave you a thumbs up. Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas 🎄and a very happy new year 🎉 I look forward to watching more of your vlogs in 2022 👩‍🎨

[@kellierobinsonartist]

Happy Christmas Sandi. I don’t mind pauses, I know we’re told to edit them out but I’m with you, sometimes I think the jump cuts are just to much on the eyes. I judge mine on whether they’re relaxing to watch. I go to art videos to relax, I’m midddle aged and not apologising for it! I don’t want to feel like I’m watching a computer game. Congratulations on a fabulous year, I see you are not far off 10k followers! Well deserved. Hope you, Brady and your beloved pets have a peaceful Christmas 🎄 x

I've never noticed a problem with choppiness in your videos. I wouldn't stress over that. I'm picky and I really enjoy your videos. I look forward to them. Have a lovely Christmas.

Just found you, and I absolutely LOVE this painting and your style! Thank you for sharing your talents with us❤️

Welcome Jennie!!!! I’m so glad you liked the painting!

I found your channel yesterday. You are charming. I love your studio in your home I’m guessing? I really started painting because it helps with my mental health. I have a small corner in my room to paint. I’d be so happy if I had such a gorgeous place for my art like you have. What state are you from? I ask because I am loving the scenery I am seeing out of your windows!!!

Welcome! So glad you are enjoying the channel!

Thank you Deborah!!!

Love your videos! All of them......They're real. Your sense of humor, emotion and sensitivity to all things are reflected in your art and these episodes . On another note...never have seen such realistic, artificial fruit in all of my life and I really like the way you have displayed your nativity paintings. Have a wonderful holiday season and am looking forward to next years artistic adventures :)
