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

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

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!

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. 💜💜

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

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

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 .

Sandi, I really love your video's. I came across your stuff on Youtube. 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

Happy Holidays Sandi! Hope you enjoy your week off! Thank YOU for a fun year. 🥳🥳🥳

[lindafranklin]

At last...an artist who celebrates Christ and uses her art to embrace her faith...my admiration for you is growing...love your style and honesty...have a wonderful Christmas...

[janeandclementine]

Wonderful video Sandi, I consider it my 1st Xmas present. Thank you, enjoy the holidays!

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

[impish]

yay.. another fun Friday with Sandi..!!

[summersdesigns]

Merry Christmas! Your videos are such a joy to watch, and you are a bright light in this world!

[darlenesmith]

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

[Rosie]

I agree - the only videos that I’m so pleased are long ones, loved this Sandi and don’t change a thing, your videos are ace. X
