CHANNEL UPDATE _ CheapCraftyGirl & CraftyGirl Vlogs

Update from My Channel

I just wanted to let you guys know that I've been thinking about my content and I don't want to put up something that maybe nobody really wants to see. But again, I am surprised by the amount of people who have been requesting for them to come back. I did return from vacation not too long ago, it was very much needed. I didn't get sun poisoning this year oddly enough, I got the tannest I've ever been isn't that just ironic? I completely avoided the Sun and I got the most tan I've ever been, not one single burn and yet I T so I guess that's the key don't don't intend to tan and you'll get tan, I don't know but it was it was a great trip. I really really needed it. Um I did get quite a few things I was going to do like a vacation haul but I don't know if it's that interesting for you guys, it's just kind of like a couple shirts and hats as you all know um a mug and magnets and things like that. So if you're interested I can do a video about that and then maybe I can kind of dive in and tell you guys what I did so if you want to see that give this video a thumbs up, so that I know how many people kind of are interested in that. Um I do want to be able to put out content that the majority of you really do want to see and cuz I know that I have like I have some people here for my planning videos and I know I have some people here for my DIYs and hauls or even all three, um so and I haven't forgotten that I want you guys to know that I know there are certain of you who are only here for certain content. So I'm going to do my best to make sure that you know you get the content that you have been used to from me all right.

Now, I'm actually going to go ahead and film a Dollar Tree haul that I got weeks and weeks ago before I even went on vacation and you guys have probably already seen this out in Halland um but I want to go and share with you guys what I got and and why I got them. You know how I do with my Dollar Tree hauls, so I'm going to go ahead and wrap up this video and then I'll transition into the Dollar Tree haul. Hope that you oh you know what I think I was supposed to oh okay so another reason so scratch that not ending this video just yet.

I also wanted to include in this video someone left a comment and asked why I don't comment on my um how why I don't reply to comments and so I didn't want to just respond to that in a comment I wanted to address it so that everybody can hear it. Don't know who's going to like this response who's not going to like this response it doesn't matter to me, I'm just going to tell you exactly the reason why uh there's actually multiple reasons and they are as follows.

The number one reason why I don't comment is just time honestly, I have been so tiring and when I put up a video it's solely for you guys but I do read every single comment and the majority of my videos I actually have to approve the comments. So if your comment posts, it's because I approved it.

The second reason why I don't comment is just a battle Within Myself particularly um and this is just how I handle things. But in the past when I've commented I have felt guilty for not being able to comment and reply to everybody that bothers me very much and and then for the ones that I do, I don't want you guys to feel like I purposely pick some comments to reply back to and so I just kind of feel like for me it's just a no-win situation. It's just this inner struggle I have with myself for that I want to be able to talk to everybody and so the solution in my head is well if I can't respond to everybody, I'm just not going to respond to anybody at all because I don't want it to look like I'm picking and choosing and it doesn't feel right if I can't say something to every everybody but then I know there's this little other part that's like well it's something is better than nothing. But I just, I struggle with it you may not understand it or some of you may not understand it but it makes me truly feel guilty a lot of the times and it just simply bothers me.

So those are my reasons why I don't comment on your comments. Take it or leave it, but that's how I feel about it all right now.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enoh so here are my socks I was looking for all right here's the deal so okay I have been very very busy in the last Almost year um I have just been swamped with work to the point where when I film after work and on weekends I'm just mentally checked out and I'm done and I know you guys understand that and with the move and everything and I don't need to rehash it but I did want to do an update video don't know how long this is going to be because I can chat with you guys but I wanted I felt like I owed this to you guys especially for those of you who've been watching me for years and I was in a pattern of almost uploading every single day and now it's to the point where you're like you're probably wondering what's happening what what should I expect from her Channel and so I wanted to go ahead and sit down and do this video and talk to you guys about that and what my plans are so that's so that's what we're going to do so I have to say one of the things that I've wanted to improve for you guys is you know being able to be in front of the camera and not looking like Goldie Han and Death Becomes Her okay but if at the rate that I'm going I've never going to put up videos which is why you haven't seen any videos from me because I'm just like oh I don't want to look like this and but for right now I want to do videos I miss you guys so much for me the people watching me I have more in common with you guys than I do with some of the people that I'm around every day um the people that I'm around don't necessarily you know have the same Hobbies as me and everything that I do between planning and DIYs you guys love it and I get to share that passion with you guys and it's like you know when you have something exciting to tell and you want to tell your friends or family that's how I feel with you guys so when I get to find something at Dollar Tree or when I get to do a DIY it's you guys that I want to share that with so I have really really missed filming so I hate hate to say it but this is what you're going to see for a while so I mean okay I don't even think I ran a brush through this it's the reality so what to expect I really want to keep crafty girl where it has always been at least for the past two years I want to film every day I want to show you guys my hauls I have done so many updates to the house that's I want to get back to that I want to put out videos consistently so that you know what to expect my planner videos it's like I've been saying it I'm going to get back on track I'm going to get back on track and then something happens to where I can't get back on track and I'm trying to figure it all out I truly am I have to say that this is how crazy my life has been that I don't plan period so I don't just plan for the sake of YouTube I plan because I'm a planning kind of girl I need to plan that's just how I do things I haven't even been I haven't written a scratch of anything into any one of my planners because I'm beyond busy so anyway the goal is to get us back there especially when I start thinking about fall I'm so excited for fall I can't even talk about it I can almost smell it anyone else feel the same way um I follow a lot of like fall um what do they call um what do you call that on Instagram user um account account is that it I follow a lot of fall accounts on Instagram and I love it it's getting me super excited I enjoy every season though to be honest I never want to take anything for granted but um I'm very excited for fall cuz as you know it's my favorite so I'm very excited about that and I want to make sure that I get to a point where I can put up those videos and put and get my schedule down so that I can share fall Decor DIYs with you guys so that's the goal I'm not trying to go away but I again that's the purpose of this video so that you know kind of what's happening it's probably nobody you also maybe some of you are wondering about my Vlogs I have to say I am very surprised by the amount of people who have missed my Vlogs now I've certainly loved doing them but as a YouTuber I tend to kind of I love Vlogs as as most of you know so it's surprising for me to find out how many of you love mine particularly cuz I don't personally think it compares to the ones that are out there um cuz I tend to be really uncomfortable filming in public so I don't always do the best job of giving you guys a view of everything that I'm doing for that reason so I don't know yet what I'm doing with crafty girl Vlogs I know I want to continue vlogging I just don't think that I can at the rate that I'm going obviously I don't think I could do daily Vlogs I mean crafty girls suffering and and I want to be realistic so maybe I'll do like a weekly Vlog so if you're interested in that um let me know I just don't want to put up something that maybe nobody really wants to see but again I am surprised by the amount of people who H actually been requesting for them to come back I did return from vacation not too long ago it was very much needed I didn't get sun poisoning this year oddly enough I got the tannest I've ever been isn't that just ironic I completely avoided the Sun and I got the most tan I've ever been not one single burn and yet I T so I guess that's the key don't don't intend to tan and you'll get tan I don't know but it was it was a great trip I really really needed it um I did get quite a few things I was going to do like a vacation haul but I don't know if it's that interesting for you guys it's just kind of like a couple shirts and hats as you all know um a mug and magnets and things like that so if you're interested I can do a video about that and then maybe I can kind of dive in and tell you guys what I did

want you guys to know that I know there are certain of you who are only here for certain content so I'm going to do my best to make sure that you know you get the content that you have been used to from me all right so that's it for my update I'm actually going to go ahead and film a Dollar Tree haul that I got weeks and weeks ago before I even went on vacation and you guys have probably already seen this out in Halland um but I want to go and share with you guys what I got and and why I got them you know how I do with my Dollar Tree hauls so I'm going to go ahead and wrap up this video and then I'll transition into the Dollar Tree hul so I hope that you oh you know what I think I was supposed to oh okay so another reason so scratch that not ending this video just yet I also wanted to

me truly feel guilty a lot of the times and it just simply bothers me so I hope that answers your question out there for the person who asked why I don't um take it or leave it but those are the reasons why all right now I'm going to go ahead and end this video and we'll or I'm going to film The Dollar Tree haul so if you want to watch it I'll see you guys there bye\n"
