Thank you very much!

Closed captions would be WONDERFUL. This is the reason I cancelled my other subscription, several years ago. You, obviously STILL haven’t done anything about it.

Love the video and the project. I was looking for something easy and quick to do for our church shut-ins as a thinking of you gift. Someone had donated some Christmas themed material so I think I will get some fall material and do the two sided seasonal theme mud rugs. Great idea and I think these elderly folks will enjoy them. Thanks for sharing. <3
Thanks so much for this really cute and fun idea!
This demonstration was so helpful for Xmas gifts with fall colors on the opposite side.
