Stacey, Thank you for featuring Perfect Pearls. I have the whole collection of 32 bottles that have been under utilized for over 15+ years. My 9 year old granddaughter is discovering her creative side and loves to do crafts with me. We watch your videos, then we will create from my vast arsenal of supplies. We wish you and your family good health in 2016.

[@lesliegladney442]

We have you and your mum on our list of people we light a candle for. My mum is also a survivor, so its close to my heart!

[@charlottevanstraten339]

I did not get a ton of presents but the ones I got were great. 1st I got to skype with my son for christmas. He is on a mission in Florida and was recently transferred to a very small town there. He loves his mission and fellow missionaries. It was so good to be able to talk with him and ask him things. I had loved ones near me it was wonderful. I hope yours was wonderful too! I love my perfect pearls. thanks Stacey!

[@brendastallings7920]

I love this collection. Prayers for your Mom. As encouragement, I would like to tell you that my mother is a 41 year breast cancer survivor. I wish the same for your mom.

After Spring, Summer and Fall spent outdoors, weather and temperature have forced me inside. This is the time of year I pick up crafting, this winter I particularly planned on working on my scrapbooks and making cards. I went to my craft room this week to make a first anniversary card for our daughter and her husband. Unfortunately, I was lost! I had forgotten where everything was. I had forgotten how to use my tools and supplies. I had forgotten tips and shortcuts. One card took me hours to complete and I used only the simplest of tools and materials. Yes, I had Perfect Pearls, never opened, never used and passed over because I didn't remember how. Yes, there are many other items just sitting on the shelves or stuck in drawers that I have forgotten about. But then today in my email a message about your latest youtube class...I checked in and it was like you had read my mind! A refresher course on Perfect Pearls! Thank you for demonstrating the many different techniques that can be used with this medium. This youtube video was very encouraging to me. And the best thing is that it is a reminder that I can go back and view previous SMS videos on how to use my other supplies and tools.

[@theresesprinkle9592]

Sending lots of prayers for all of you that have families who are very sick. I love all the new cards all of you made. Great job.

[@keleighstundza5170]

Praying for your Mom and your family. Mom's memories work in amazing ways.

[@Diane17Lynne]

This will be the first "I want it all" bundle I will purchase from you, as I gotta have it . It is incredible. Am so glad you have designed your own dies/stamps. Of all that you have shown me thus far, there is NOTHING that I would not buy, if I could. Hugs and Prayers for Mom. I ask that you keep my cousin, Susan(age 61), in your prayers. She has cancer in her leg, kidney and neck. She is a very special cousin....Now go get those Christmas presents!!!. Merry Christmas from my family to yours.

[@imblessed62]

Love the dies praying for your mother to make full recovery and have great news and that they got all her cancer during surgery removed

[@kimmer823]

As usual you knock my socks and make me smile. I'll be praying for you and your family🙏

[@marilynjones1596]

Your imagination in coming up with all these dies never ceases to amaze me. You always do a wonderful job. I also want to let you know I am praying for your Mom, we had our mom admitted into Hospice care on Christmas eve so she can stay at home and decline with dignity. She has always been a very devout Christian and will still sing hymns with you but her general condition is deteriorating. God bless you. Hope your mom does well and will not need more surgery.

[@harp408]

I'd forgotten how easy Perfect pearls were to use. Thank your mother for having that wonderful memory. Good wishes for the new year for all of you

[@joanweber2488]

This was an exceptional video. I continue to be amazed by Stacey as to what the Sizzix machine can do. Her lovely Love Story dies and stamps used with Perfect Pearls was so informational! I had no idea that Perfect Pearls could be used in so many ways! Thank you for another incredible video. I loved it.... and.... I love Stacey's laugh. it's so infectious! Thanks. so much!

So guess I am going to pick them up again and hopefully remember all the ways you used them. Thanks so much for bringing back the instructions as to how to use them. Your dies and stamps look wonderful so much you can do with the sets. I really do need to take a look and see these plus your other ones if you still have any left. I would love to see the snowman one and the deer. Oh well I did miss that utube but maybe I can still take a look and see what they look like. Thanks for sharing all of your talents.
