  2. well I prefer videos of you making something- like the box one

  3. Wonderful Box! My favorite videos are the "in the making" videos where we watch you in high speed complete a project from start to finish. The transformation is inspiring.

  4. Hi Drew,

    I'd like to watch you using the Lindy's. Also, I love seeing your vids of mini-albums. Congrats on your 1,000th follower.

  5. WOWZA!! Love the box!!! Great job!! I'm embarrased to admit that I've never seen the Moon Shadows and the other products before! I love the videos made "on the fly" that is, where we get to see the creative process at work. Thanks for the chance to win!
    Hugs!

  6. WOW!!! That box is GORGEOUS!!!!! I seriously LOVE it!!! You did an amazing job on it!!

    I like the type of videos where you do a project with talking and explanations rather than the super fast ones. The projects you make in the super fast ones are gorgeous, like the box, but as for watching the videos, I like the more personal touch of hearing your voice and personality. It's more fun, too!! :-)
    Thank you so much for all the wonderful inspiration you give us all the time. It is very much appreciated!!

  10. This box is wonderful--you are so talented.
    Would love to see more on mica. I've had all these pretty little jars of the stuff sitting here for years. I saw it demoed with a glue pad and heat gun, I think.

  11. Drew I love all your vids, but my favorites are when you show start to finish of projects and minis. I just love lindy's but only have one try me set so this would be awesome!! Love the box by the way!!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Drew, I totally loved this vid.......not only is the project gorge, the music added to the drama of the creative process. Nice change of pace to keep us interested while learning.
    I too like the videos in which you talk us through the steps of the project while demonstrating the use of various products.

  13. Love Love your altered box here~!! I am on the search for one so I can make one myself, thank you for such a great video. Donna

  14. I like tutorials of you talking. Personally I like a tutorial with several parts - as in making a mini over a week long period. Just being selfish though as I can only imagine how much work would be involved. Love all your stuff Drew.

  29. That box is to die for!! I only found you a week ago and have been staying up late at night to watch your videos..love them! I've got satellite internet which limits bandwidth use except the hours of 1 am to 6 am. I'm glad I'm free to stay up all night watching you but hate that I can't join your classes when they're live. My favorite thing to watch is altered items..lots of inspiration for me!

  30. Drew!

    Love this box! Iwould looooove to see more of your awesome mini albums! And please...I know it is early...but I loved your XMAS card series as well. It was chuck full of inspiration and I made everything you created! Big Scrappy hugs!

  33. I love anything altered that is actually functional. If it isn't functional, what is it's purpose except to collect dust? Right? :)
    Altered frames are some of the things I love to make and they make great gifts too! :)

  57. Drew, I have been following your blog, FB posts, and YT videos for a while and I LOVE all of it! You inspire my daughter, who is 10 years old!

    I love all of your projects and videos, so it is hard for me to choose. I would rather be amazed by your creativity! However, can I ask you to please post YT videos. I can't get UStream to load properly here. It is really jumpy and cuts out too much.

    Thanks for all teh ideas and inspiration! Love it all!

  71. I love the box. I am thinking, to keep dust out, I would cut a piece of transparency to fit over the mesh top before I add embellishments. This would make a lovely and one of a kind mothers' day gift to anyone.

  116. One more thing Drew - let me know if you want a YouTube video to demo this (I'm girlgeeklovesstampin) but a great product for removing those pesky labels on the bottom of wood boxes is "Un-du" pronounced undo (un-du dot com). It is really quick and easy to remove anything stuck AND if you wait for the thing to dry that you removed it will actually retain the adhesive so that you can restick it!

    ReplyDelete
  117. Hi. I really enjoy watching your videos. I guess I would like to see more of the ones where you are making something.
