OK folks here's the first of my Question & Answer videos. If y'all remember I did a giveaway last month and had people ask questions for me to answer as I've had a lot of these questions asked over the last few weeks/months so I got them all in one spot, wrote them all down and answered them all!
Hence this being part one of three LOL!
You can watch directly on YouTube HERE <-----click!
Talking about the affiliate links in the beginning of the video - not all the links I use are affiliates - but the ones that are, as well as the small banner ads in my sidebar all help support me and my munchkins at no cost to you. When you watch the ads that roll before my YouTube videos, or click on the links/banner ads and then place an order I get a kickback (which varies - it's small but it ads up - the actual logistics of it all I'm a little fuzzy on LOL!). I have had a lot of people ask if I do my blog/You Tube full time (that's actually a question in one of the upcoming Q&A videos I think), and while I do put a LOT of time and effort into it (I spend more time at my computer with a huge cup of coffee that I need to give the computer a name I'm thinking - we're in that sort of relationship it seems LOL) - as of right now it's nowhere near enough to live on. It basically helps fund what I'm already doing here on my blog and on YouTube, and helps with some of my bills and whatnot.
I never used to talk about any of this on here as it was just not that big of a deal - it was something that went on behind the scenes that helped out here and there with random crafty purchases etc. Now with the major changes in my life and the fact that I'm a single mom of 4 I've decided to try giving this whole blogging/YouTube thing a HUGE effort (because with 2 of the 4 being several years away from being able to attend school it makes no sense to get a job outside of the home as I'd be paying more for child care than what I make - trust me I've run those numbers and they're depressing). We shall see where it all goes!
I will say I have really been enjoying my crafty mojo coming back in full force, and creating and sharing so much more frequently with y'all here. My hope is to keep up this pace to a degree - though again to be honest with y'all it is a LOT of time and effort. We'll just have to wait and see how it all pans out over the next several weeks/months!
I can't end this post without saying THANK YOU to all of you for your support. I so very much appreciate y'all visiting me here in my little corner of the interwebs, and all the likes/thumbs up/comments/questions/support have been wonderful. I always say paper crafters make the best community of hobbyists - 99% of them are amazing (and we'll just not talk about the 1% LOL). I've really been enjoying all the interaction on here, on YouTube, my Facebook page and whatever other Social Media accounts I'm on (I forget some days - they're all linked under my profile picture at the top of the sidebar here on the right). You guys are the best!! ((((hugs))))
Here's part 2!
