In reply to Maiasatara. Hi! I’m so sorry I haven’t answered that question yet. Here’s the entire story. Ten years ago when I started my blog, I made a YouTube account and posted videos. As a newbie, I didn’t understand that you could only use one account across the board if you wanted to monetize videos, so I ended up using one for my blog and another for youtube. Because of my ignorance, I ended up losing my first YouTube channel AND my videos, because in my technological ignorance, I didn’t have them backed up or anything. Now, I know better, but between my kids, learning all the stuff that goes with blogging, equipment, and starting in product development, remaking them got pushed to the back burner. ESPECIALLY, since 15-20 second icing is now a widely accepted term. I figured with the amount of stuff online, it might be redundant? In any case, I see where you’re coming from, and I’m sorry if I frustrated you. That’s the last thing I want to do. I have big plans to reshoot some of these videos in 2020, though, so if you’re willing to stick with me, I’m working on it. Thanks for your comment and perspective. Xoxo Callye

Hi. I’m trying to understand why you’re answering every question except – WHERE ARE YOUR VIDEOS? There are some cookie people who are not pulling their videos so for others frustrated by broken links just take a minute to do a YouTube search. I heard in 2019 people who make videos kids might watch are getting less money somehow or being held to a stricter standard but I JUST heard this so I haven’t researched yet. HOWEVER – a person giving a class in this might make $200 bucks for a few hours, they are schlepping equipment and buying new materials each time and expending the effort over and over and over again. A video might get hundreds of thousands of views and continue to earn after expending the energy ONCE. Suddenly video producers are pulling content because they want more money? It seems like it’s already a pretty unfair income based on effort compared to, say, a JOB, so I’m having a hard time getting on board with sympathy here. I’ll really have to do more research here. At least Sugarbelle taught things. Some YouTubers put their groceries away and clean their houses in camera and make money so think about they for a second…

I’m having a hard time with my colors bleeding into one another. I know it has to be a consistency thing doesn’t it? What do you suggest.
