Episode 72 Welcome Back…Again

Hello everyone.  Here I am again…..finally.  I hope you all have been well.  Thanks so much for checking back here.  I hope you enjoy this episode.

DISCLAIMER: There are 4 spots in the video where everything goes a bit wonky (it is actually quite funny as it slows down my voice too!)    It only last for a minute and then  straighten’s itself out.  I could not find a way to edit and fix it and the chances of me re- recording this episode are extremely slim SO…. sorry for the low quality of this episode but I think you will still enjoy it.  Thanks for understanding 🙂  XOXO mary

Hello everyone!!!  Another episode here…it’s a long one and it includes a bunch of things off my dish, some new projects on my dish, a small give away opportunity, pin loom class recap, Let’s go Retro! and a quick puppet at the end.  I had hoped to get it up before the holiday weekend, but alas, I recorded on a different computer and then didn’t have a flash drive with enough space on it to transfer the file!  Thankfully, Dana to the rescue today and here we are!!!  The good news about that is that I actually DID get show notes done….didn’t think it was going to happen 🙂 Enjoy!!!

**small warning**  My apologies  –  the sound quality on this one is not fantastic and there are a couple of places that my laughter and excitement get quite loud….please be aware of this especially if you are using headphones or ear buds!  sorry!!!
