Congratulations, Lorelei!!! New things...shifts, changes. All so exciting. Sending you ease of transition and good vibes for this new chapter. :) Also.... Love you!!!!

Pretty pen and ink! Good luck on Monday; I'll be thinking of you. We just had our 1 year pen pal "penniversary". 🖋

Thanks for making these videos. Lots of fun stuff! Good luck next week.

❤❤❤😊

Hey girl! So glad you inked your new pen with the new ink. Looks like a perfect match. Good Luck on Monday. You'll rock it for sure!!!!

You have such nice handwriting!

looks like a great pen

yes! congrats! and yes, change is good! step into it peacefully - this is most definitely not a good bye. you will be fine!

Atlas is THE BEST!

I loved all the inks and those pockets Caroline made were so so beautiful!

I like that Potpourri and the Rhodolite!

So happy you liked the handmade pockets 🎉! The 2nd tea bag is gingerbread and the last one is tchai chocolate black tea 😊

I like the three new ones from Yoseka. I think the orangey one deepened in color as it dried.

Hey Lorelei! What a beautiful collection and wonderful video 🙂 Thanks for the kind words about my inks! I don't know if I could narrow down to even my top 10 favorite pens from the year... my favorite always seems to be what's in my hand 🙂

Thank you, very much enjoyed this video. Merry Christmas!

That is a very cheerful orange ink!

You'll use them next year 😂 like the orange color of that ink ❤

Great idea! Only if you have time!!

I feel like we are twinzing cause I also Spilt Vibe all over my hands and desk :)

You jinxed yourself - you said nothing exciting ever happens…! 🎉🎉🎉

I spilled my Vibe too!! It got over my other swatches and desk and oh man 😅

I know! it seems no matter how hard you try to be careful the ink always gets you! Hopefully it will be gone by tomorrow. I really like this color. Maybe in 2025 I'll try more blues. Love that little grid pad too...I really need to use more ephemera than just stickers and use up more of my stash.

Someone already posted that Quetzalcoatl is an Aztec god. If you compare representations of Quetzalcoatl with pictures of the gorgeous long-tailed Quetzal you can see the inspiration of one to the other.

Congratulations, Lorelei! It’s never too late to learn new things! Cheers to a new year, my friend! ❤

You will do great! Get a schedule for all of your house-cleaning tasks (do a little bit--but not a lot-- every day after work) and preserve your weekends for fun activities and hobbies. Meal planning is also key for your workdays. It's all about having "systems" in place to make good use of your time. Now you will look forward to your creative pursuits because they will be more precious to you, and the extra income can help fund the purchase of supplies!

It was love at first sight when I saw this pen, so much so I went ahead and bought it even though I paid a lot more due to taxes and shipping to the UK I looked everywhere here and it wasn't available. Thanks for the video showing this pen. It reminded me of a Nebula in outer space, or a scene from Star Trek !

You’ll do wonderful wherever you are, this was meant to happen! I wish you the very best! 🎉🎉🎉

I know that the tone of this video is a little melancholic, but I’m exited for this new chapter for you! Congratulations! After the first however long exhaustion, I’m sure the creative bug will come back and it’s not a hustle but joy. Something that is filling your cup because you want to do it and not a chore you have to do. Happy Holidays!

Ouuu stamps! So neat!

Good luck, Lorelei ! You will ace this new venture!!!

I think this natural for alot of people. I'm pretty sure you will create things and working outside the house might also spark new creativity or ideas. Good for you and congrats!

As a fellow maker and a small business owner I absolutely understand you. The “hustle” mentality can be draining at any age especially if you just want to create. Best of luck to you! ❤

Many years ago my husband and I received an ornament like this that a friend had made. It makes me want to try doing one myself to see these again. You’ve done a nice job! I agree that the winterberry is a nice festive red color. What’s your favorite so far?

Congratulations dear💕☺️I totally agree on working for a steady income👍🏻 u can still do the handcrafts but slower, don’t stop it all, just much slower☺️🌸🌷

That ornament is amazing!

I’m excited for you! 🎉

Well done 🎉 you'll have to organize things but I'm sure you'll manage to do that. Keep moments for creativity & for yourself 😊

I'm fond of girls stikers but I also love the B &. W dies you sent me ❤

I'm so happy for you its so rare that we find a job that reinvitorates our being. I was in the medical field for 16 years then I had a heart attack and had to " retire " that job cause it was way too stressful but now that I'm a partner of youtube Hopefully that will give me some invigoration I've been on youtube for 20 years and 13 days finally I'm a paid intern lol

Glad you liked the clear stamps, thanks for sharing their use and for the cleaning tip, I use a paper tissue to clean mine, and it's not great!

Hi! Ugh. Corporate America is yuck!!! I'm in Corporate America 😂

Congratulations! New adventures are always a bit rejuvenating. I am crap at Instagram, but I'll do my best to amplify!

Here’s to a regular paycheck my friend. You may be surprised how much stress that takes off your mind. ❤

Congratulations and good luck!

Congratulations Lorelei ♥️ everything will fall into place, just in a different way. Even if you aren't running the business at the same level, I suspect your creativity will be sparked and you'll get things done, even if you only have 15-30" to do it in a day. It'll all work out the way it's supposed to. And now you'll have a 10-floor office building full of potentially new customers, LOL. We'll all still be around. 😘

Congratulations 🎉💖...i used to deliver the bulk mail from Owego to candor and willseyville.....I kinda miss it but we have our farm now ! I wish you the best of luck!!!... Hugs and love .... (Melanie( osterhout) Hilbert,💕

Congratulations!! 🎉❤ you’ll do great and you will find what works for you online too, if you miss us - We will be Here! 💌

You will find a balance, no doubt. But, yes, it's tough to make a living with handmade items. And, personally, I much prefer to make items for fun than for a living, but that's me.

Congratulations!! Wish you the best of luck and will miss you here on TH-cam. Hopefully you’ll still be able to find some time for letter writing. No pressure though…

Ahhh yes, they both look so innocent and sweet. The pheromones work in my house. I can tell when one needs to be replaced as Bella (the aggressor) gets even more "salty" . I have an autoship set up at Chewy!!
