I am so glad to see you back. One thing I really appreciate about your channel is that you are truly genuine and not just making videos for views. I missed your videos and I figured you were taking care of you. Here’s to a happier 2024.
What a lovely comment Brenda! I feel so touched that you missed me. December was a hard month…I was taking care of my eldest daughter, she’s going through a tough time. Her Sister was helping a lot too and we are determined to be strong , powerful women who support each other! I missed you tube, as it’s my happy place, but my children always come first for me! It’s just so great to come back to such love,y comments. Thank you, Ali xxxxx
Your comment means the world to me. Thank you for taking the time to comment. It’s so lovely for me to feel so cared about. Sending you my very best wishes, Ali xxxx
So happy that you're back Ali!! Missed your videos a lot, they are always such a joy 😊 I am glad you were able to take some time away from social media too, it always refreshing to have a break. I hope you & your family are doing well and had a wonderful new year ✨️can't wait to see what creative spreads you come up with!
Aaaaaw thank you Jo! My eldest daughter is having a hard time right now….so my New Year goal is to support her in every way I can. We are going to be strong and powerful women 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻Happy New Year to you Jo, Ali xxxx
Hi Ali, welcome back. Happy New Year. I hope you managed to celebrate the festivities with your family. I also hope things are going well with your therapist. Its luvly to see another video from you and look forward to more. Luv the SL cover 😊 ××
Hey there! Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Christmas wasn’t the best for us this year…but that’s ok. We’re a close family and we will support each other whatever life throws at us! My daughters and I are strong women. Thank you also for your concern. My therapy is going really well. It’s hard but it feels like it’s really helping so worth the tears! I hope YOU had a good Christmas and I wish you a really Happy New Year. Big hugs, Ali xxxx
How lovely to see you back. I have missed your videos so much 😊 I love theTSL cover, it looks stunning! I also have the same Hobonichi blank notebook (actually 2) and a matching pencil board but mine are in the A6 size, I use mine when I want to journal feelings. I love the paper so much! I use a Stalogy full year in the B6 size which I have in a beautiful Galen Leather case, I use this for when I want to write about memories from the past or special days in the present. I use a passport TN as my reading journal, I don’t write much just the title, author, when I started and finished the book and a score out 10, so I’ll be interested to see how you use your reading journal. Thank you for sharing Ali, sending you lots of happy vibes for 2024 🎉 ❤
Oh Dawn….thank you for sharing your lineup with me. I love hearing how you use your notebooks. I’m sorry I went awol and I will write a proper letter to you as soon as I can. Im so behind in my journal that I haven’t even used the lovely Christmas stickers that you sent me and I’ve just realised that I didn’t mention them in the video that went out today 😱 that seems so ungrateful! I’m so sorry and I’m NOT ungrateful and I will definitely mention them when I finally get to a flip through of my memory keeping journal insert as I’ll use them in my Christmas pages. This is the most behind I have ever been. But I’m just going to take a deep breathe and move forwards! Sending you love, Ali xxx
Thank you so much for missing me! I was so busy with a family crisis. I make no apology for always putting my children first. But I am so glad to be back in my You Tube happy place. Thank you for making me feel cared about, Ali xxxx
Thanks for the tip! I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anyone paint an etchr sketchbook cover … have you? I’m thinking that if I ever actually finish one then I could paint t the cover then as I’m not sure how it would stand up to wear and tear. But who am I kidding lol…I never finish my sketchbooks 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 sending you my best wishes, A.i xxxxx
A very happy new year to you and your family, as well, and that includes your pups! I enjoyed seeing your two new planners. The botanical cover and pencil board are so lovely! I like the idea of keeping a reading journal and am looking forward to seeing how you set that one up. I was of course happy to hear you hope to get in more water coloring this year. That is one of my intentions for 2024, too. I found it difficult last year to make the time for painting and drawing, but it is a new year and I am going to focus on nature journaling and see if that helps. Thank you for your inspiration to continue to plan out our goals and dreams, because we learn so much along the way! Cheers to 2024!
Ooooh nature journaling definitely sounds so inspiring. I so wish you lived here so we could nature journal together lol. None of my friends are arty at all. Do email pics of any paintings you do, if you’re happy to share….it will motivate me I’m sure. I’m really loving soft pastels at the moment. But they are not at all portable so I want to keep trying to improve my watercolour painting too. I get so frustrated with myself…I feel like I’m so greedy to have so many art supplies that I hardly use. But my art therapist daughter tells me not to worry as she will be happy to inherit them 🤣🤣🤣 She won’t need to wait though as I’m happy to do a cull and donate to such a good cause 😃 Oh Suzanne I’m so happy I know you, sending huge hugs, Ali xxxxx
Hey Marie….thank you for missing me. We had a tough Christmas this year, my eldest daughter was having a hard time! But we were all supporting her with love and kindness so that’s all that matters! I wish you a very Happy New Year Marie, Ali xxxx
Welcome back :) I adore your Superior Labour cover, I didn't know they were available in the UK. I think I might start saving up for one, the craftmanship is remarkable.
Thank you so much. I hope you manage to snag a TSL cover if you’d like one. Sadly they sell out fast 😬😬 I really think I should stop buying new covers now. New Year’s resolution should be to be satisfied with and grateful for what I have and stop making enabling videos lol! Wishing you a very happy new year! Ali xxxx
Welcome back, Ali! Missed your videos, and wish you all the best, hope you get better and better ^^. Love to see your lineup, mine is still not decided, im late to the party and only bought one of the notebooks i'll be using this week and it will take a while to get to me. Happy New Year! I hope 2024 will be kinder to us all. ❤
Thank you so much. I hope we’re all in for a kind year too. I’ll try and get to Instagram so I can have a peak of your lineup once you’re sorted! Happy new year to you, hugs, Ali xxxx
Happy New Year Ali! I’ve missed your videos but it’s also good to spend some time away from TH-cam, especially over the holidays. You’ve put together a great variety of journal options for next year. I like that they are not really dated but that you can dip in and out of them depending on your time, mood and inclination. A much less time critical line up! Your choice of TSL cover and Hobo combo is lovely and would be such a satisfying tactile pairing too, now I’ve just got a side bet with myself for how long before and what neat customisations you add 😉 💕😊Louise x
So lovely to see you here again! Hope you are feeling better ❤Can’t wait to see your reading journal setup. I have started one this year too, but in passport size. And I got one of those TSL covers too but in a6 😅
I’m all better thank you. Still haven’t set up my reading journal, but I will when I find time lol! I hope you love your TSL cover. I nearly bought the A6 size, I imagine it’s gorgeous! Enjoy! Sending you hugs, Ali xxx
Ali!!! Hi!! I hope you are doing well! I hope a letter from me will be with you any day! Really hope you are well 💛✨ The TSL cover is sooooo stunning 😍 can’t wait to see how it ages!! How funny! I’m using that exact hobo notebook for my academic notes this year too!! Great minds! 😂
Hi Emily, I got your lovely letter and my happy mail video should go you today! You will see how much I loved the goodies you sent to me. Thank you so much. Huge hugs, Ali xxx
Oh my…I was just thinking that I should stop buying new covers and be satisfied with what I have and be grateful and STOP making enabling videos 😬😬😬 so my apologies and I wish you a very happy new year, Ali xxxxx
@@dabblinginjournals I’ve bought an A6 one to hold a Hobonichi book for my Common Place book, it’s arriving tomorrow ☺️ (and that’s it, I’m not buying anymore!)
Dear Ali, It's so good to hear from you! Have a wonderful new year with many wishes fulfilled! Did my mail reach you in time? My Hubbie just said we should go back to England for vacation, so if that should happen we must go near Leicestershire! 😘 Ooooh I understand your joy when you held your TSL! It is very beautiful and I'm curious to hear about philosophy from you! Have a wonderful evening❤
Hello dear Kiwi Penguin, you mentioned sending me mail. I received your mail with the lovely crochet coffee cup and gorgeous leather wallet insert, but I’m not sure that’s the one to which you are referring? That is the last snail mail I received from you! I hope that is the one you mean as it would be so sad if something is lost in the post! Oooh it would be so wonderful if you were to visit England again. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Sending you hugs, Ali xxxxx
@@dabblinginjournals oh no, then it got lost! 🥺 I made you kind of a advent calendar with 4 little packages! I sent it nearly mid december, so maybe it's just late because of christmas?🤞
@@kiwipenguin1126 oh No 😱 maybe it’s the rubbish uk mail??? It’s always all over the place at Christmas. It might still arrive which would be wonderful! I once sent a happy mail to someone that never arrived. It’s so sad when that happens. But remember that it’s the thought that counts! And I love you to the moon and back 😘😘😘😘
@@dabblinginjournals let's hope it will arrive! There was some coffee in there..... 🙈😅 And thank you so much for your christmas card with the lovely pearl feather charm! I will put it on my personal journal! ❤️❤️❤️
You are NOT wrong….the superior Labor products are very expensive. I confess I feel guilty for purchasing them. I try to justify it to myself by saying, well I don’t buy many clothes, or shoes, or whatever. But it’s nevertheless a guilty indulgence which I need to think about more carefully. No doubt there are better ways to spend my money 😔 My best wishes to you, Ali xxx
