Mass Making - Wk 205. - Library Pockets

[@cathypreaster1210]

I remember that “struggle” when my kids were little but, cheer up because it’s COMPLETELY the opposite when you are a grandmother - you are suddenly awestruck with adoration for every little thing they do! 👶

[@DorothyJanetoo]

Ha ha - that's the truth! I tell my daughter all the time how much more I like my granddaughter!

[@jeannetimme7337]

So true! We all met at a pretty nice restaurant, and our youngest grandson was sitting proud as can be in his Batman cape and mask! LOL!

[@theposhmaniac5169]

I love your sharing w us! I'm still biting my tongue re: "strong advice." My child's now 6'3" & genuinely an adult! I realize he's bright, & was raised to think for himself, so I force myself to just let it go! I saw that Killer Whale documentary too. Those poor doomed seals. So heartbreaking. But then I saw another where it really showed how much of a family the Orcas are within their pods & how they depend on each other. Very difficult to watch tho... The world's definitely opened up re: needing to stay tethered in 1 place for a job, etc. Perhaps you could arrange a longer stay-cation in Thailand to see how you like it. Maybe a house sitting situation or something like that. I've been so lucky to have lived in Europe in several places due to my husband's job. Plus traveled a lot all my life; w/ family / husband & alone, both before I had met him and then after he passed away. Your likes & needs change dramatically as you grow older too. Pay attention to availability of decent health especially. I flew back to the US for my annual exam because I loved my OB-GYN! Took too long to find her! And it was very hard to find a comfortable hair stylist! It's so funny what you'll miss when you're elsewhere. Much easier to get homey stuff now but shipping $$$ may eliminate any longings! Until yiu canbactually travel, you could try living as tho you were there...eating only what's available there, avoiding everything that you won't have there, etc. Even try to duplicate wearing similar clothing, etc. Might help you start on a wonderful journey. Bon Voyage! XO ✨️

[@lauragaudry3402]

Had to laugh about your daughter wanting to spend her pocket money on sweets. When my grandson got his first paycheque from his part time job he promptly went to the grocery store and spent $80. on snacks! 😂. Definitely not what I would have suggested but hey, he didn’t ask. Another great video. Hugs and blessings, 🤗❤️🇨🇦

Wonderful pockets and papers love the weekly mass makes ❤

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much Sherry, I love hanging out on our mass makes too xx

[@NotTooShabbyChic]

[@helenhartley6904]

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Awesome, thank you for sharing how you’re going to use yours xx

[@tenshizara5557]

So pretty 💕

[@51Saffron]

Yes, I do hold bite my tongue, but recently it escaped and I did say something to our daughter. Surprisingly she compromised, she is much older now. Love your ideas and encouragement you give.

[@lalagamma4452]

Exquisite Tina. My daughter and her hubby went to Thailand with their besties. They were Maid of honor and groomsmen here in the besties wedding. Then they had a traditional wedding there for the grooms family. They were blessed to see so much of the country. As a matter of fact they saw parts of the country that were erased by a tsunami a year later. I listen to my grown children but I don't get involved in their disputes. Thanks for hanging out and having a playdate with me. I was able to do a lot of stuff in a glue book. Huge HUGS! Namesta 🐞🐞🐞

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

I bet they had a great time on their trip to Thailand, especially with the grooms family who knew the area and best places to see. Was that the big tsunami of 2004? Or another more recently? Gosh you’re good not getting involved, it’s soooooo hard sometimes 🤔🥴. Thank you for hanging out with me and glad it was a productive hour in your glue book, have a fab day xx

[@lalagamma4452]

@@shabbydabbydoodah yes the 2004 tsunami. Sad that all of that national beauty was lost. Huge HUGS! Namesta 🐞🐞🐞

[@NannieStoke]

These are great Tina , when my children were little and the pokemon cards came out, my kids weren't allowed control of the file folder....they didnt put the cards in the correct slot and it did my head in 😂.. they also had to check with me before they were allowed to trade any....they laugh about it now..thank God lol

[@bettylongshore9594]

Kids are so funny when they want to wear "odd" outfits to school or public places. They see themselves in the limelight and when it doesn't go as planned its your fault!!!!! I love the stories you share when you are mass making!!!!!!! Love your papers!!

[@soymilkmuse]

I always enjoy your mass makings and chats! Thank you, Tina! 💕

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much xx

[@emmkaa2099]

A few hours ago my grown son and I returned from a trip more than halfway across the country to a state we are now hoping to move to in a little over a year. He'd been there this past summer so knew his way around quite well and still I had a heck of a time keeping quiet about "turn here" and "go that way", so yeah, no, it never gets easier to not "mother" your children. 😫 You're alright! 🥴 Love you, sweetie, MK 🤗❤️🌵❤️🤗

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Haha, it really is just the natural instinct isn’t it? Wow, I love how brave and decisive you are, moving half way across the country is a massive step, your positive zest for living your best life is so inspiring. Have a wonderful Wednesday xx

[@soshabbyandprim]

Great inspiration! Thank you❤

[@bettylongshore9594]

I comopletely didn't mention how wonderful your library pockets are. I'm going to make some this afternoon!!! I heard you say the other day you were gifted a whale tail punch. Well, I bought myself one and I want to make a library pocket and attach one of those tabs on top. I am obsessed wth them!!!!!!! haha!!!!!!

[@dadwelch]

Hi, I have been enjoying your videos for such a long time, but first time to comment, cos I just want to say thank you for sharing your joyful and deceptively spontaneous style! Sometimes I think, ‘no don’t put it there’, and then always have to wind my neck in, cos at the end of the make it always proves Tina Knows Best! And for sharing your heart too! As for being a mum, yeah we all do the don’t spend it on sweets thing, you are not alone! We’re mums and part of our job is to encourage them to make the ‘wise and sensible’ choices, but some times it’s their job to challenge us to see the joy in making the slightly silly ones. It’s taken years to learn that with my sons, you sound like you’ve got there a lot quicker than I did! Bless you x

[@MyrtisJackson-d9d]

Hello How are you? I hope you are better. I am smitten with your videos. I have tried watching other channels and I always come back to you. You have this uniqueness about you when you are creating. I am drawn in. I an inspired to be my creative self after watching your videos. Thank you for the boost to keep busy and be creative. It is what I was born to do. I love to beautify every thing I touch. Thanks for inspiring me to create. Please continue to be just who God created you to be, Tina lol where is your cup of tea? 😍

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh my gosh, thank you sooooo much for your lovely comment, you’ve literally made my day, thank you 🥰. Yes I am feeling much better today thank you, sat replying to comments with my first cup of tea of the day before I go to the gym 🤗. Thank you again for starting my day with such a wonderful comment to read xxx

Great pockets. Love the roses and Valentine papers. Tfs ♥️♥️ My children are grown and still come to me for advice but I don’t interfere. Now I have a grandson to love and nurture and I am having the best time being a Nana. 😍

Hi Tina, absolutely lovely pockets. Thank you so much. I am also a little to controlling what my kids buy with their pockets money (I know it is there money and they must learn to make their own choices, but it is not easy). And Thailand sound absolutely amazing, I hope me and my family will be able to go their next year. Take care and have a wonderful week.

[@susangazawaypapercrafting3749]

Tina, what kind of printer do you use? Your colors look amazing!

Love the final product. Where do you purchase your big bling pieces? I love those bows you made! I can’t wait to get my order from your online shop. So excited to see the things I watch you make in person!

[@magnoliahillpapercrafts]

I'm hearing you about being a mum and I hate to say, lol, it doesn't change when they grow up. Mine are 39, 37, 31 and 29 so guess what 😂😂😂, still hard to keep my mouth shut 😅

Lol you have more glue issues than anyone I've known🙈. Hope you're feeling less shaky today🤗. I find the little quilting clips very handy and quicker, you get loads really cheaply too! Nice kit idea. Lol British weather highs "at least it's not raining" 🙊. A musical? 🙈. Yeah the book is always better for me too. You've got to admire the pure bravery and kindness of those who saved Jewish people, especially the children. Oh I definitely want to see the Bob Marley film, I loved him! The guy looks perfect for it. It's my favourite accent too (Irish being a very close second).lol yes we have to really bite our Mum tongues😄. Lol I made my son a spider costume, looked fab but cumbersome and he wore it all day bless him. Oh no, right up to the school gate? 🙈. KIDS! Mind you we didn't listen either😄. Yep, were soft touches! We make the rules then get all soft 🙈. We still have to limit the sugar though so you weren't wrong! Hard not to be a 'helicopter mum' 🙊. It's not just you🤗. Lol it'll be Christmas again in a minute🙈. Exercise is the one thing I miss the most, I love how it made me feel, emotionally and physically. Lol could do with more bin collections for what we pay! 30p???😱 whaaaat? It's 50p to 'spend a penny' 😄. Postage is probably cheap too. After 34 years together we don't bother with Valentine's day 😄. Yes nature is brutal🙈. Those papers are good for anniversaries too. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖

[@melloneyward]

Where can I get some of your paper packs, not digital I don’t have a way to print. I love your flower collection

I can't watch some of the nature shows that depict animals being eaten or suffering. I know it's a balance of nature, but I can't watch. I made a bunch of these the other day when Rachel did them friday for the weekly challenge. Yours are beautiful as always Tina thanks for sharing. 🙂❤️

[@suzannemurton4112]

Just had to laugh at myself, the pocket you made with the valentine paper has a couple on it but from a distance their heads look like eyes of a monster and it wasn't until you showed it nearer the camera I realised it was their heads, have I completely lost it or did anyone else see it x

[@kristinagathercole6848]

From my view your nails look great, and I can't see you shake😊❤

[@angie-tq4ew]

The 90s are filled with shows of sexual innuendo between adults that goes right over the kids' heads. I don't have a problem with that. The problem is when the children themselves are acting out those scenes, or heaven forbid, are aware of what they are being asked to do (the worst). He knew what he was doing then; he knows now what he did; and the only reason he gives two-shits about it is that he's now being called out on it. The bottom line is that he used his power to manipulate. It's happened before, it's happening now, and it will continue to happen.. "You made me do it." Words we hear from manipulators over-and-over. "Sorry, but not sorry" is their motto.
