Craft with me #whatsinmybox | Random ephemera making session EP 01



At least every Tuesday I will do a random session making all kind of ephemera, including pockets and tags. I will be pulling from my incompleted items box.

  1. Your round marks reminded me of using a bingo dobber. It already has a round sponge top and you can buy many colors of inks! I made a bunch of pockets and tags. Now I will make journal cards. TFS🤗. PS…take some extra vitamin C to perk up. 😉

  2. I am hoping that the support you have from almost everyone in this lovely community will drown out the few nasty voices. No worries, Karma will catch up with the nasties…it always does. Thank you for all you do…you are definitely loved! ❤️

  3. Rachel, I think you named some very good reasons to be feeling off, and probably you have still not adjusted after your vacation. I visit my son's family, across the country, for about 5 weeks at a time twice a year. When it's time to go I always hate to leave them but I'm glad to be getting home. Then at home it seems to take me longer than I think it should to adjust to being back in my regular routine. I feel tired, unmotivate, sad and yes, off. Then too, you may have some hormonal changes happening and really, the changes in our world since the pandemic are worrisome and sort of always in the back of our minds. I try to recognize that I feel unsettled and just accept it, knowing it will pass. It's just part of life and we often don't allow ourselves to really feel how we feel, because we think we shouldn't. Should or shouldn't doesn't matter. We just do. So accept the feeling, allow it, and try to stay present in this moment, right now. All is well. 🌷

  4. Let me tell you a funny story about a pig statue. When I was still working as a nurse I noticed something new in the window of the hospital's gift shop. It was a ceramic statue of a realistic looking, fat, ungainly pig wearing high heels, lipstick, and a nurse's cap! I went into the shop and talked to the manager, who was also the cashier, and I told her the pig was ugly and disrespectful to all the nurses who worked so hard at the hospital. She argued and said it was cute and funny and said she thought patients would like to buy them as gifts for their nurses! Trust me, no nurse would have been happy to receive that pig, but she refused to see my side. Finally, I asked her how she would like a pig dressed up as a cashier? Her faced turned red and her lips went in a straight line but she said she would think it was funny! I walked out and went back to my unit and told my coworkers. Two of them went right down to the gift shop to protest the nurse-pig, but when they got there it was gone from the window and was no longer in the shop! I guess she saw my point, but she wouldn't admit it. Some people!

  5. 🧚🏻‍♀️Hello dear Rachel, I’m behind with your videos. We’ve had Cyclone Gabrielle in NZ, And I haven’t had the internet for a week. Now I’m using my Mobile personal hotspot! Loved this “what’s in my box”! Such a great way to use up left over pieces! Rachel, your videos work perfectly well for me and I have no fancy technology! That’s not your worry, people have to sort these issues themselves, we’re not in school! haha🤣 LOVE all you create, you’re amazing, thank you!❤

  6. Could it be that you just came back from your family trip and you are still adjusting back to your real life. I use to travel when I sold my jewelry wholesale. I was home a week and gone a week. It was hard for me to adjust each time. As far as negative nellies go, I just smile and give it right back or ignore them. I know it’s easy for us to tell you what to do but only you know how you feel. However, please don’t ignore it. You don’t want it to pile up on you. It makes it harder to come back from it. Winter always depresses me. Feel better!

  7. I'm so sorry you are feeling off – watching your videos is helping me get back to myself, and feel creative (and hopefully BE creative) again. I hope you know how much you are valued, and that even if you are feeling down and unmotivated, you are a source of happiness for others (Lulu too). Sending all the love and support to you from the US 💖

  8. I’ll look forward to the circle stamps. 😊 I’m sorry you’re having a down time. I have them too sometimes on these grey winter days. And the negativity 😣 As much as we want it to bounce off, sometimes it sticks. Please know how much you are loved, admired, enjoyed and appreciated. 💖

  9. It’s okay to feel a glitter short of your sparkle.
    There are nasty people out there with radar zooming in like fat bluebottle blowie when they sense the mere whiff of vulnerability.
    He’s too scared to target another man … bullies always pick a gentle woman or child.
    Where’s your missing glitter ?
    You’ve had a warm Summer holiday far away.
    Had to kiss goodbye family again.
    Another long long plane trip home to a cold dark Winter.
    All on the back of years of Covid.
    You’re being a little hard on yourself …
    be extra gentle with yourself.
    BTW These blow flies hate being ignored, they live for a reaction …
    He’s not getting one from you.
    Well done beautiful girl.

  11. Rachel, you are a Beautiful person, please try not to be near Negative People, you sound like I have been in the past and even now sometimes) I am caught very quickly by these types of people and then I’m a mess to say the least and before I know it I’m drowning , they just made you so down and feeling terrible. It’s like even the things you love to see or do become nothing and there’s nothing to look forward to do or see. A good idea I found was when you.get up in the morning , put your self where you can take a couple of Deep breaths with your eyes closed, the air is amazing, open you eyes and just look around you or even the. Sky and try and think how great it was and tha hard part is remember that when you feel down during the day and do it everyday for a. Week or so, then see if it helps, take care Lovely Lady . 🦋💕🌈💜🇦🇺

  12. I echo what everyone else has said already. You ARE an inspiration to us and there is always someone on these Youtube videos that feels the need to say something negative. Ignore. I love my Rachel time. And as my daughter reminds me, I am entitled to have my own feelings, so if you feel down, don't apologize for it. Just find your happy place and spend time there, be it crafting or whatever.

  13. Hi Rachel! I'm so pleased to see so many people have expressed the same support and love that I feel towards you. I see that you read them, now take them to heart and carry them with you, especially to conquer those comments of that jerk who knows nothing about you. Don't let him steal your peace that Our Lord Christ has for you. Thanks for sharing your talents with us, you are so kind and such a genuine friend. Diane from Tampa, FL😉❣
