Thank you for the support!Made With Melanie - A Feature Documentary by Robert HamMelanie Ham2022-07-29 | "Made with Melanie" is the life story of Melanie Ham; a military spouse and mother, a daughter and friend, a maker and crafter, a successful business woman, YouTuber and entrepreneur, a woman of faith and a cancer warrior.
When Melanie was diagnosed with an incurable rare form of Sarcoma in 2020, Robert asked her if he could film their story not knowing what would happen. This film is the result of a life lived with passion by an extraordinary woman.
There are an immense amount of vulnerable (and potentially triggering) moments in this film. Our collective family have watched and approved the film, and Melanie had given me permission to be very open with it, hence the freedom to film so many private moments. This film is meant to share the incredible light and life of Melanie, thank you for watching.

I have been hesitant to post a tutorial for these because there has been a lot of debate around how effective they are. However, last night our mayor requested that everyone heading out of their homes wear a mask like this. So, now that our leaders are asking us to wear them, I hope that you find these useful. Please stay safe everyone!
These will not protect you from the virus, they help keep our germs to ourselves and from touching our faces while out and comply with the requests from our leaders to wear these. Wash your hands, friends!
