Sending so many hugs and mental wishes for you to feel better and get some of your strength back. I have had persistent health issues over the last few years and am still trying to get over a bout with a nasty respiratory virus myself. Multiple tests ruled out strep, flu A/B, RSV and Covid, but upper respiratory junk turned into bronchitis and then pneumonia. I 100% know what you mean by depression getting a foothold and seeming to take over in times when you just consistently do not feel well, and you’re exhausted all the time but also sick of being sick. You’re not alone. You did a fantastic job on this video. Sending you wishes for more joy this holiday season to overcome some of the bad thoughts. ❤
Thanks for sharing all these great goodies Alysa. Everything looks great, especially all those beautiful pens and trays. I have wondered about those coffee scented pens....because I LOVE coffee...LOL. Have a good week, a Merry Christmas and feel better.
Super cute stuff! I got Winter candy apple putty from Joanie with my pen and it smells so nice! The first swampwood pen you opened makes me think of like the northern lights on camera!!!
I love seeing all of the goodies and I love that you find all these fantastic Canadian small shops! That’s excellent for the Canadians in your group! I know shipping is horrendous for you guys from the states! I know I take advantage of the new shops and order from them to the states. It’s well worth the price of shipping!
Yes the past two years we've had lots of Canadian shops pop up. I still order from some of my fav USA shops but yes the shipping can be a bit much more often its if we owe any duty or if it was sent UPS and we have a massive broker fee (one time for a munimade order I had to pay an extra $60 on arrival for example and more then half of that was a broker fee!!)
Take care of yourself and I hope you get better soon. With all the unboxing pens, wax and puddy I want to use my pens again but I keep going back to my tweezers. The purple (my favourite colour too) pens are gorgeous!
@@thediamondstitcher Hey! Oh, it's been quite a tough year for me healthwise. I'm really trying to come back and be present! I MISS this community so much!

Thank you very much! I hope your lungs heal soon and thank you for the kind words!!
Feel better soon! The small shop haul was a good one this week. Love the pen from Joanie. It's beautiful. You will enjoy that one for sure.
Thanks!! Joanie does turn great pens!! I have a few blanks on the way for her to turn!
Feel better soon! Thanks you and to all the sponsors!
Thanks Linda!!
I'm going to say that I loved everything that you showed us. ❤😊❤
Thanks Diane!
I definitely hope you’re feeling better than this now. Take the time you need to rest. Thank you again and again for all your support. 💗
Thank you Carrie!
Hi Alysa

Thank you Patti!

thanks Carol!!! You would love the coffee pen the scent does get more faint over time. Have a Merry Christmas too!

Thanks!! I wish we could see the northern lights from my area but I live through all our east coasters

@@thediamondstitcherI find that just crazy! Now you just need more Canadian small shops to sell diamond paintings as well!

Thank you Diana! I have never been able to use the tweezers to place diamonds. IT would be much cheaper if I could!!
True. But they aren't as pretty as pens. I do do the checker board method when I'm in the mood! Then the pen comes out.
Some great pens!
Thank you!!!
Oooh I need to try that puddy shop! I love trying wax alternatives!
Hello friend!!! How have you been?! Long time no see/talk. I hope you are well!
