Top 5 Reasons Why This Is the Only DYE Ink I Need!

[@katzbaugh9806]

Thank for this video, Mary. I recently realized that I have had anxiety since I was a very young girl. I have fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, diabetes, hypothyroidism, and a few other things going on. My Mom has dementia ever since we lost my brother 16 years ago. We’ve always been super close. Last May I started taking better care of my health. I’ve lost about 35 lbs. I’m trying to get out of my head and relax. So thank you for sharing your journey with MH.

[@marypolancodesigns]

This is so important, thank you for sharing. A friend of mine has fibromialgia as well and has started caring for herself better recently too. She has had a drastic increase in good days!

[@beverlystotz5652]

Quickly becoming a fan of CP inks! I am also a planner. Love the creative outlet it provides plus it makes keeping track of things fun! Some days do suck and there is nothing wrong with a snarky sticker to document it, but most of my spreads are positive and motivating. I have often stamped and ink blended in my planner! Thank you for sharing your journey. The stigma around mental health care really needs to be gone. You are helping!

[@marypolancodesigns]

Haha, yes I do love a little snark sometimes. I have one that says, "Today is cancelled"! lol

[@rosacaban9708]

That would make a great stamp! 😆

[@amandapeters8813]

Thank you so much for being brave about bringing mental health into the light. Remember everyone has a different journey. Don't let them alter your success. Not everyone understands what it means to be anxious or depressed and can't understand the levels of help each of us needs. It's incredibly wonderful to hear your work is paying off.

[@marypolancodesigns]

Thank you so much for this Amanda. You are absolutely right. Although I feel i have a good sense of emotional intelligence, I still never truly understand what anxiety was until I went through it. It changed so much for me and my empathy toward others.

Wow! It was wonderful to hear someone, who I admire, speak about her personal journey, (that wasn't all perfect and sunshine, rainbows and lollipops)! Very inspiring for me. Here's the BUT..., but I am old and arthritic and retired much earlier than I ever expected, so I can't get much better than I am at present. As I heard your story, I kept thinking, that's what I should have done 30 years ago. Now I have kind of resigned myself to just expect to limp along. I love your background techniques and results, as well as your finished cards. I have never subscribed to your channel, but will now, because you have become much more than just a great card maker. In my eyes you are now a real live heroine and role model!

I feel you would be a really fun person to hang with. Therefore, it surprised me when you mentioned that you were struggling. Just goes to show, you never know what a person is going through. Good luck on your journey-sounds like you are well on your way!! And keep the great videos coming. You are one of the KZbinrs I check daily for new videos. Love ya!

This seriously made my month! Thank you so much for taking the time for me. I am authentically happy when I do my voiceovers; it has been the one great release in my life from what I was struggling with. However, after I was done with the recording, it had taken so much out of me because of the anxiety. But you're right you never know what someone is dealing with. I am honored you would want to hang with me. I DO Like to have a good light-hearted time!

[@AllieinCali]

I got a free CP ink pad from SBC (full size!) and dang, it is super juicy. I have 48 of the distress oxides and if I use them to stamp, I will usually clear heat emboss it and it is beautiful! I love this color scheme! As for mental health, I am glad you are taking care of yourself. After 40, your hormones start getting really wonky, so you might have your hormone levels checked. I think as women, we tend to put ourselves last and if you're not taking care of yourself, you can't take care of anyone else. Stay strong---we are here for you! Oh, and the cards are adorable!

Then you came along with this video and totally changed my world! Im sold! I ordered all the bundles of the mini stamps I could from Catherine Pooler.

Oh that stinks, I'm so sorry! I wonder if they are working on that. I'll try to find out.

[@marypolancodesigns]

I just checked with Catherine Pooler staff and this what they said. We ship all over the globe! We also have retailers in the UK- she can try Bumbleberry www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/ Hope that helps!

You lost me when you brought an MLM into this

[@marypolancodesigns]

I'm so sorry that was the only thing you got from what I shared. My wellness journey is so much more than an MLM.
