Whoever made the card with the orange flower, you make very classy cards!

I loved seeing the supplies your mom gave you and to hear you speak about her. Wishing both of you the best. I am 67 yrs old, my folks have been gone for over 25 years. I think of them often, so grateful for the memories. Take good care of yourself😘. I love your videos and attitude ☺️. Yes, I would love to see you create with these pastel pencils, as I have not used these, but thinking of buying some. PS. Love the painting at the end of the video.

what a beautiful treasure from your mom, to have received some of her art supplies. She sounds like a wonderful mom and I am sorry that she is in hospice. Keeping you and your family in my prayers.

I'd love to see any of your artwork any old day!

So good to have your mum's art supplies, they'll turn out to be more and more precious as time goes by! That charcoal white is the best white pencil I have and I have many brands!

Looking forward to seeing artwork using those pencils! I’m praying for you and your mom.

Sandy-thank you for sharing your inherited art supplies. Especially pastels…these are what re-ignited my own artistic journey, and were given to me by my mom, her own art supplies she had stopped using. She lived with us for the last 3 years of her life and was an amazing artist, my inspiration & best friend. She told me “All of my art supplies & drafting tools…I want you to have those.”

When you got the soft pastels from your mom it ignited so many wonderful memories in my mind and in my heart. Our mind are always with us, and art is so personal & tangible. I treasure my mom’s paintings, her skill in teaching me, and her generous gifts to me. I know you feel the same blessed abundance. You and your family are in my thoughts❤

Happy Birthday. The pile of shavings is oddly beautiful.

[debbiefinklang]

What a treat! I loved all your information on pastels and sharpening. I’d love to see more tutorials using pastel pencils.

The pile of shavings and dust from the pencils looked like art😊 And the freshened up pencils looked like supplies that will bless you with memories whenever you use them.
Praying for you and your mom ❤

I live 10 minutes from Frederick. Lifting you & your mom in prayers.

What a blessing to have your mom's pencils. Each piece of art you make from them will remind you of her (not that you will ever forget her). Love to see your animals, so that's my vote for the pastels! Hugs and prayers.

[scarlettHischild]

Absolutely! I would love too see artwork with your newly sharpened pencils you just did. 🙏🏻🥹

This was such a wonderful video. Sending prayers for your mom and your family. Thanks so much for sharing.

Your mom sounds like a wonderful person.

Prayers for your Mom, you and your family Sandy. I have some oil colored pencils ( Derwent), from 1985! Full huge set in the tin. They out preform any pencil I have ever owned. eBay was selling them for $1100.00. But to me they are priceless. I think of the days of being in photography school, and “ hand coloring” old black and white photos. Then came the digitized computer world, to end my career. Lol.. all good though. BTW, I sharpen everything with an electric Exacto Sharpener.( the big one with 3 different size holes.) It works great! Prayers girl! 🙏🏻❤️🖌

[criswalton]

So glad u r home. Continued prayers.

Happy birthday from someone else who celebrated the big 60 in February

I knew I had to write this before watching this video. I made that mistake on your last post and I was crying to much.
I lost my 90 yr old mother a year ago and my father 7 yrs ago. There is a permanent hole in my heart and life. I lost my youngest brother, 1 yr after my mom.
Just know you are in my thoughts and ♥️. I understand the pain. 🤗
