Holy moly. People really discard a video because of length? Wow. I look at the video as a learning tool. There are so many amazing artists to watch and learn from. My word is peace. Always peace. It covers quiet, respect, at least for me. Have a blessed new year you deserve it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️😘. I do the multi tasking thing and not finishing what I started. It’s called ADHD. I take meds but I swear there aren’t enough meds in the world to straighten me out! He’s adorable. A true artist in the making
The ending of this video is the best part. Seeing your little guy show us his masterpiece......priceless! Love Kelly videos no matter how long they are. Time flies watching you. And I always learn something new. 👍🏻👍🏻 I never worked in a food related job. I always wanted to be a nurse ever since I was a little kid. My first job was working in a home for physically & mentally challenged kids. I loved it!! I love all food, and yes, I have a sweet tooth. Used to never gain weight eating it. Boy does that change after menopause!🤦🏻♀️ My word? I haven’t decided on one yet. Maybe strength....or endure. I still have to think about that one. Happy New Year to you! I am proud of you for getting through the past year with grace.
Look at your son! He’s getting his light source down on that green teacup! I love to see the littles watch and learn - they pick up so much just by paying attention. You’ve got a great kid there, Kelly.
I have 4 words…HOPE, KINDNESS, GRATEFULNESS, & LOVE are my words for this year; I’m praying that kindness follows hope, gratefulness & love overcomes us ALL!!! United we stand, divided we fall y’all, a very healthy, blessed, & prosperous new year to everyone!!! I tend to walk in place if it’s a longer video than usual, Lord knows I need the exercise, so I’m grateful for you Kelly & the longer videos, I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS!!! Stay beYOUtiful inside & out!!!! Love to all!!! 🥰🤗💝💐. Thanks for sharing your time and creativity, this card is magnificent (as usual)!!! I can’t forget to let Nathan know, his card was gorgeous!!! 🥰🤗👏👏👏!!!
My word is "grateful". Having a debilitating nerve disease, I need to be more grateful when my body allows me to move a bit longer or more than what is my new normal. Your peanut is so very sweet and wants to be just like Mommy; it's such a blessing. May God continue to watch over the two of you and bring you happiness, and an abundance of love. Be well -
My word would be grateful ... to be grateful for all who are in my life and all that my life is, and make sure all around me know how I feel. Love you is not a word that can be said too much to those you are grateful for 💜
I lost my son July 10 th. 2018 heat stroke 🥵 in Las Vegas he was only 34 but I enjoy hearing your stories I just received his ashes today it is very difficult but watching your videos help me feel better I love watching you color it’s so soothing ❤️❤️❤️❣️
💜💜💜 his attention to the details is PERFECT! I hadn’t thought of a word yet but now HAVING thought about it it’s Grace! Do all things with Grace! BEAUTIFUL CARD and I totally see beedboard
Only one word wow so hard to choose....unity I guess would sum it up. I wish that honesty would effect most, love to effect some and unity would effect all. Thank you Kelly for sharing you life events with us it goes to show that you can have a job that effects you emotionally, physically and tasking and still have time to craft to help cope with day to day life, not to say being a parent. Thank you
Wow this is so realistic! My word for this year is Praise. Like thankful but two parts to thank God for all in this crazy world and pray for all those I am in contact with - everyone can use prayer! My first project this year will be making Thank you cards for my daughter who is having a baby in February!
Beautiful card design and, as always, the coloring is fantastic! My first job, besides babysitting, was at an A & W Drive-In. To this day, I do not drink root beer and it took a long time to eat hamburgers again. I was the fry cook and I smelled like french fries daily. Talk about the need to multi task! Thanks for all your videos and boo to the people who think they should be critical enough to give you a thumbs down. Let's see some of their work!
I'm currently watching this video I "liked" and your talking about not watching because of video length 😒, I won't watch a video that's under 10 minutes because whatever they're trying to teach is going to be massively sped up so there's nothing learned! I truly appreciate you giving so much of your time to actually teach us and I love your honesty, generosity to share everything and that your incredibly real! Please stay you, your awesome!
Touche’ on your “word” for 2019. OMG, before I heard your word, I was thinking of positivity. Great minds think alike & I agree, there is way too much negativity out on Social Media especially (along with cramming down our throats, in my opinion, how we need to address and “call” people by their identifications). Can’t we just say Hello & be done with it. Off of my soapbox, I love the colors on this card. Very vibrant and happy.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos...I can sit and watch you all day. Your coloring is absolutely fabulous and it has encouraged me to get back to learning how to color and blend with my Spectrum Noir markers. Thank you so much Kelly...you're a blessing...❣️
Yes, I finished your comment out loud...God is Good...All the time! Grateful is my word. So many things to be grateful for. TFS your amazing talent. Enjoyed watching the way you lay out the one layer card. Maybe I'll practice that tonight with my some of my new stamp sets. Still need lots of practice with the copics but I keep pushing on.
I love your videos, whether they are 5 minutes or 50! Your talent is extraordinary and I have learnt so much from you in the short time I have been making cards and watching you tube videos. Please don't stop making long videos filled with information, they are awesome!😍 My darling Grandma who I adored and miss everyday used to say- By the Grace of God go I. And I truly believe that! 😍
LOVE all of your “long” videos...yours are the first ones I look for! You’re amazingly talented and I completely relate to you in your storytelling!! I always learn something from you & am in awe of how you make your artistry look so effortless. You bring such joy to my life, as I’m sure you do for so many others!
OK now....I have a hard time with shadow and light and it is something that I continually work on...with that said, Nathan sees it right away and incorporated it in his card. He is so awesome!!!
You a a precious gem. Positivity oozes from you with every breath that we see and hear. Keep on with your wonderful videos - they never seem long because spending time with you is such a blessing! Here's to moving forward in 2019 xx
I have really learned that stressing over things I can’t control is harmful to my health, so I think positive and hope that are Country will heal from this horrible administration, thanks for sharing I always enjoy your videos and they help me stay creative. Happy New Year
Wow! I love this card!😍 I'll come over and drink some coffee with you! And I also love the long video's. Every time I learn something new. How to color gold, how to shade. I make screenshots of your copic combo's and use them when I color, or when I want to buy new copics. My word for 2019 is OPTIMISM. The last few years my health declined very fast, physically and mentally. Due to a lot of medical issues I was bedridden for most of the time last year. Now my doctors have started several treatments to lower my chronic pain, fatigue, depression and increase my oxygen level. I'm a person who's cup is always half empty, but this year I want to be more optimistic and have a cup that's half full, or be thankful that there's something in my cup anyway. Being optimistic that I will be feeling better, getting more energy so I can do the things I love, like papercrafting and coloring. I've really missed that the last year. Thank you for your positivity, energy and creativity. I really love your video's and the story time! By the way: are the spiders finally gone? Big hug from the Netherlands!❤
I just grab a cuppa coffee or a cup of tea and sit and enjoy. This was such a beautiful card. You are so very talented. It is just so much fun to watch your videos and to listen to your stories that I feel like we are best friends. I have learned so much from watching all of your videos and learning new techniques. I love the detail that you show to us on all of your videos. We are all at different levels and even for experienced crafters, you inspire them to be better. Happy new year and lots of love to Peanut oh and tell him that we loved his card.
I know I say this all the time...but I really do LOVE your videos. I learn so much...every single time. I've always been amazed how you can go in at the end and outline your card. I have the same exact marker but my hand obviously is NOT as steady as yours!! haha!!! Oh my goodness....Peanut did a fantastic job of coloring his card!!!! Love it! Thanks for sharing with us!
Beautiful, both of urs. Lovely color combination. I've never worked at McDonald's it has been 30years since I ate there. As a woman I too have gone from one thing to another and another. Just the way it is. 😁 Wishing you, peanut and wonderful family a blessed New Year.
I enjoyed this very much. The story about your morning before work was great. I sure do the same craziness! Your little boy stories are my favorite. He sounds like a very sweet little boy. Your use of design and balance fascinate me. I am getting braver. It is so hard for me to see shadows. Thanks for all you do.
Kelly, not even half way through this video and need to comment. Yes, my time is valuable as you say, but it's a choice of mine to spend that time with you and watching your videos, for more reasons then to just learn from your amazing talent. I aspire to be a blessing in the new year. Whether it's in the things I say, things I do, or just a smile I give someone. So my 2019 word is"Blessing". I will head over to the blog. Kelly, thanks for being a "blessing".
Love the card and Peanut is just too cute for words!!!!! Word for the year...hmmmmm, change and acceptance. I know 2 words but both very powerful for me. Happy New Year!
My word is kindness. I love the card. I’ve been collecting teacups and teapots for years and years. Happy new year to you and Peanut! I hope 2019 is full of great things for you!
You make a oops look great! lol I love your videos...your son really good for his age! Hope he always loves art 😊 my grandsons have been scrapping and card making since they could hold a crayon. They are 9 and 11 and still love making cards and drawing.
The tea cups look amazing! I always have YT videos playing even if just in the background while I’m crafting or something. I don’t always have time to sit and just watch but I do often go back and review specific things I know I wanted to see if that catch my attention. Love your chats too - ty for sharing with all of us.
My word is Hopeful. I am having double knee replacement surgery this year and I am hopeful I can still get downstairs to my craft studio and that I can boogie in the next New Year for 2020. I do love a good boogie.
From concussion, to lump in neck, to fractured and artificial elbow, to vertigo to low vitaminD, to needing additional imaging after mammogram I am personally praying for a better new year!! Renewal is my word
Kelly, you are an amazing card maker/designer, an awesome colorist, and hands down my favorite TH-camr. I love that you share your life experiences with us including the good, bad, and ugly! I wish the best for you in 2019.
Stunning card! I had originally thought the flowered tea cup would overpower the 2 others but there's a beautiful balance. You did an amazing job with the teacups & the background. I love how you just take on (what I call a huge challenge) like it's no biggie, then teach us all these tips and tricks. Can I just say how AWESOME you are! God bless you and Peanut ❤ XOXO Here's to a happy, healthy New Year 🥂
Love these gorgeous cups, those colors make them pop. I'm the same way when it comes to task when I start doing something in the house , almost every single time, lol. Hope your holidays were joyous!!! Tfs.hope you have a blessed day and yes god is awesome !!!
Happy New Year, Kelly! Positive is a great word. (Though you always seem so positive, so I don’t know why you have to remind yourself about that!) I find myself pulling away from people who are negative about everything, so positive is good. It’s encouraging and uplifting and we definitely need more of that. My word would be thankful... mostly to God, because, as you said God is good... even in our dark times, we can remember He doesn’t make mistakes and He knows what is best for us and what will make us grow. So thankful that I have Him to lean on. Your card is just gorgeous and even though I don’t tend to do one layer, colouring-intensive scenes, I still watched every 38 minutes of your video... let’s be honest... to listen to your stories! Thankful to you too, for sharing yourself and your talents! 💕
Not to copy you but definitely positivity. My first thought on anything is usually negative. Mostly I come around and see the positives in a situation though! Have a good week with your little Peanut! Good coloring by you and him!
Wow #peanut even shades and highlights like yours. He is precious! I remember when my son was little and wanted to be doing the craft along side me. Precious memories!
Thanks Peanut for such beautiful cups. Loved your art work. Ok now to Mom's coloring...loved it. My word would be civility. Actually have 2 words, second would be peace. Thanks for sharing your talent, time and stories. Hope this New Year is a great one for you and Peanut.
Your card is beautiful, Kelly, but I think Peanut’s card is my favorite 😉! I wish I had just an ounce of your talent, girlfriend! And you are so right...God IS good, ALL the time! Happy New Year...I hope 2019 rocks your world in all the good ways!
Our family calls it " squirreling" going from one thing to another to another, be it chores, cleaning, talking. Lol! Awesome story time and beautiful card. My word. Security. Yes, God is good and 2019 is going to be Awesome. Happy New year to you and Peanut.❤✝
Very cute card! I really like watching you color and shade with Copics. My one little word for 2019 is Create. I want to create more cards, make more scrapbook pages and crafty decor projects. 2018 was difficult for me as well. I had quite a few health challenges last year. This year, I plan to create and play more, even on days when I am hurting or depressed or anxious. I'm tired of pain controlling my mood and my plans for the day! 💜
My first job was at an A&W, for years I couldn't stand root beer! I love it now though! Your work is amazing and I love the processs as well as your real life. My word is "listen". I want to hear more from others. Thank you.
I love to watch you doing your cards talking about your son. I drive through Cleveland to go home to my hometown. I live in Pennsylvania now my word would be keeping a positive attitude this year. I have 2 son's with Autism my youngest will be graduating in April this year from Point Park University he made all A's & B's this semester he has positively has shown me you can achieve it if you really want it. Have a great new year
Beautiful coloring, love the layout of the card. Btw, I have the sweetest tooth of all. I have a least one candy bar a day, if I don't, I feel depressed, lol. My favorite candy bar is Hersheys layer cookie crunch in the purple package, you have to try it--sooo good, they also carry a dark chocolate with mint in the green package. My word for the year would be employment. I was out of work for 5 years & need to go back now, pray for me, lol. Peanuts card is awesome!!!
Daughters first job was at Subway, even after 10 years i still can't stand the smell of it...great job little man...wishing you and yours a wonderful and successful 2019...
This was such a perfect way to start my morning, I get excited when the videos are long. Your such an awesome teacher and I can easily listen to your stories while watching and learning. Maybe because I’m a women!? LOL Nathan has your artistic talent, so awesome!💌
I watch your videos all the way through Kelly, or what's the point in watching any of it if you don't. I learn so much from you so I'm Allestree going to support you. Tell peanut I love God card and he's nearly as good as his mommy. Looking forward to many more videos of yours during 2019. X
More caring in this world would be so wonderful. My 1st job was at Grossmans whish was like a small time Lowes home improvement store. Had a great time there with my friend and we found it funny that our managers name was Charlie Brown! LOL. Went on to work in the animal field which was my passion for almost 20 years till I was injured on the job in 2006 and became disabled. Now I work part time at Michaels craft store (which I love and it supports my craft habit lol) but is very hard due to all my health issues. But, thankfully I have great managers that are good to me and CARE about me (unlike where I was injured) and it keeps me going even though I deal with pain every day. I am a single mom too and its tough. So having people who care can mean the world. Love your videos and thanks for sharing all your wonderful stories! Happy New Year!
Your videos are my breakfast companion so I love long videos. Also I watch 3 hour streams by my arty friends so your videos are short to me. It's all perspective. Love the teacups and the background is awesome. I always learn something. thanks as always for sharing, Yeah Nathan!
I love your videos. I worked at a Steakhouse for 2 weeks as a teenager. Some old man pinched my butt so I quit on the spot lol. I LOVE desserts also. Wishing everyone a Peaceful and Prosperous New Year.
I know I’m a little late to the party but this is just so beautiful and inspiring. Funny, I always get so excited when I see a “long” post. I just get comfy and settle in for some good learnin’! Thank you for all you give, I appreciate it and it adds positivity to my life which is kinda rare these days.
My word is also Kindness. If Peanut likes baked beans, try putting them on buttered toast! Tried it in England a very long time ago and loved it. Still do as a matter of fact. Happy New Year to you and your family. I love watching your videos and I always learn something new. Thanks so much.
Hi there my wonderful friend! 💗 I hope u and peanut had a wonderful Christmas and great New Years! THANK You so much for putting a smile on my face every Time I watch you!!! U truly have helped me in so many ways! I’m in a emotionally abusive relationship ( he’s the president of narcissism!) I’ve been putting up with this for 7 years, becoming more and more depressed! Once I found you and some of the other girls, I started to come alive! I also see how amazing you are/have been going through ur changes in life!! U have inspired me to get back into my passion of art and given me strength to start making changes this year!! This Will be the year of “ doing me!” Like u say!!😊 I’m actually excited and nervous about accomplishing this big change! ( He went to prison for domestic abuse with his 2nd wife!) He was also very vindictive with her and new boyfriend! I could go on, but long story short I’m scared!) I’m getting professional help, but any input would be great (considering u dispatch!) Again thanks so much!! ❤️❤️❤️ PS I tried leaving a comment on ur blog (not the first time I’ve tried!! 😂) and still did not succeed?!😫 Love Love this card!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love your card look like you could pick up a cup and have a pleasant afternoon with it. Like the way you did all the cups make the plain ones into you art, love it. Thanks for sharing your story as well hope you have a wonderful New Year and I really enjoyed the learning process for the picture to give it life. TFS.
I would watch a 2 hour video of you just coloring and telling stories. Cant wait til you do a FB live and we can actually be a part of the conversation lol!! I had a hard time picking a word this year but my word is accountability. I want to better holding myself accountable and my children accountable for their actions and also for taking care of myself this year.
I love the fancy tea cup. Guess I need to buy that stamp. You sound a lot like me, I’m a snacker/ grazer and Love those sweeties. My son-in-law’s mother brought over 23 kilos of chocolate from Scotland 😬 I guess we’ll be good for a while. I too have shiney squirrel brain. Start on things and it leads to another and another and nothing gets done . Too bad we don’t live closer, we could run in circles together with our sweet spaghetti brains. Happy New Year! Oh, and God is awesome. I couldn’t have gotten through all I did after loosing my husband but God provided a way and I’m so very thankful.
love the cups and the picture and think it was a lot of work...I know what you mean by revisit it....get some ideas on how to deal with the issues and you can really move forward again. This is one way to learn...so I'll be looking forward to some of your ideas on how to do it again. Happy New Year to you and Peanut. He has a nice mommy...........pat
Holy moly. People really discard a video because of length? Wow. I look at the video as a learning tool. There are so many amazing artists to watch and learn from. My word is peace. Always peace. It covers quiet, respect, at least for me. Have a blessed new year you deserve it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️😘. I do the multi tasking thing and not finishing what I started. It’s called ADHD. I take meds but I swear there aren’t enough meds in the world to straighten me out!
He’s adorable. A true artist in the making

Girl, you crack me up! I’m a big fan of your stories, your coloring and your precious Peanut!
This was darling, Kelly. Thank you for your artistry, generosity & fabulous personality.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos...I can sit and watch you all day. Your coloring is absolutely fabulous and it has encouraged me to get back to learning how to color and blend with my Spectrum Noir markers. Thank you so much Kelly...you're a blessing...❣️

Wow! I love this card!😍
I'll come over and drink some coffee with you!
And I also love the long video's.
Every time I learn something new. How to color gold, how to shade. I make screenshots of your copic combo's and use them when I color, or when I want to buy new copics.
My word for 2019 is OPTIMISM.
The last few years my health declined very fast, physically and mentally. Due to a lot of medical issues I was bedridden for most of the time last year. Now my doctors have started several treatments to lower my chronic pain, fatigue, depression and increase my oxygen level.
I'm a person who's cup is always half empty, but this year I want to be more optimistic and have a cup that's half full, or be thankful that there's something in my cup anyway.
Being optimistic that I will be feeling better, getting more energy so I can do the things I love, like papercrafting and coloring. I've really missed that the last year.
Thank you for your positivity, energy and creativity. I really love your video's and the story time! By the way: are the spiders finally gone?
Big hug from the Netherlands!❤
So far so good on the spiders. Sending up prayers for your good health and positive outlook this year! XoXo
Love this card and coffee! I also worked at McDonalds for my first job...I did the birthday parties and drive thru. Peanut's cups are awesome!!!
I just grab a cuppa coffee or a cup of tea and sit and enjoy. This was such a beautiful card. You are so very talented.

I love the cups Kelly , everything is so pretty!
I love peanuts cups too, so colourful!
Oh and I love long videos 👍🏻
Amazing card to start an amazing New Year! Peanut’s card is great! Love how he colored a highlight on his mug! TFS!!
I know I say this all the time...but I really do LOVE your videos. I learn so much...every single time. I've always been amazed how you can go in at the end and outline your card.

Your card is absolutely gorjus!! The colors are so pretty and the way you hand drew the table and wall, OMG! TFS💖💖💖
Love the card and Peanut is just too cute for words!!!!! Word for the year...hmmmmm, change and acceptance. I know 2 words but both very powerful for me. Happy New Year!
Incredible card with amazing detail and I love your little guy’s card❤️
My word is kindness. I love the card. I’ve been collecting teacups and teapots for years and years. Happy new year to you and Peanut! I hope 2019 is full of great things for you!
Beautiful! So talented!! Your son did amazing, too!!
You make a oops look great! lol I love your videos...your son really good for his age! Hope he always loves art 😊 my grandsons have been scrapping and card making since they could hold a crayon. They are 9 and 11 and still love making cards and drawing.
You are fantabulous! My word for this year is SERENITY! The kind that us single moms rarely get!lol
Amazing card love the cups , Kelly my word is respect.
The tea cups look amazing! I always have YT videos playing even if just in the background while I’m crafting or something. I don’t always have time to sit and just watch but I do often go back and review specific things I know I wanted to see if that catch my attention. Love your chats too - ty for sharing with all of us.
I know what you mean about he onions. I also worked at Mc Donald’s for a couple of years in the 80’s when I was a teenager. Beautiful coloring😍
My word is Hopeful. I am having double knee replacement surgery this year and I am hopeful I can still get downstairs to my craft studio and that I can boogie in the next New Year for 2020. I do love a good boogie.
From concussion, to lump in neck, to fractured and artificial elbow, to vertigo to low vitaminD, to needing additional imaging after mammogram I am personally praying for a better new year!! Renewal is my word
Kelly, you are an amazing card maker/designer, an awesome colorist, and hands down my favorite TH-camr. I love that you share your life experiences with us including the good, bad, and ugly! I wish the best for you in 2019.
Stunning card! I had originally thought the flowered tea cup would overpower the 2 others but there's a beautiful balance. You did an amazing job with the teacups & the background. I love how you just take on (what I call a huge challenge) like it's no biggie, then teach us all these tips and tricks. Can I just say how AWESOME you are!
God bless you and Peanut ❤ XOXO
Here's to a happy, healthy New Year 🥂
Love these gorgeous cups, those colors make them pop. I'm the same way when it comes to task when I start doing something in the house , almost every single time, lol. Hope your holidays were joyous!!! Tfs.hope you have a blessed day and yes god is awesome !!!
Adorable card Peanut made. Just like mommies. 😍
Happy New Year, Kelly! Positive is a great word. (Though you always seem so positive, so I don’t know why you have to remind yourself about that!) I find myself pulling away from people who are negative about everything, so positive is good. It’s encouraging and uplifting and we definitely need more of that. My word would be thankful... mostly to God, because, as you said God is good... even in our dark times, we can remember He doesn’t make mistakes and He knows what is best for us and what will make us grow. So thankful that I have Him to lean on.
Your card is just gorgeous and even though I don’t tend to do one layer, colouring-intensive scenes, I still watched every 38 minutes of your video... let’s be honest... to listen to your stories! Thankful to you too, for sharing yourself and your talents! 💕
Have a wonderful New Year! Peanut did a great job on his hot cocoa mugs!
Not to copy you but definitely positivity. My first thought on anything is usually negative. Mostly I come around and see the positives in a situation though! Have a good week with your little Peanut! Good coloring by you and him!
Love watching you color and create! ❤️
Absolutely fabulous coloring. You r the queen of copics !
Wow #peanut even shades and highlights like yours. He is precious! I remember when my son was little and wanted to be doing the craft along side me. Precious memories!
Thanks Peanut for such beautiful cups. Loved your art work. Ok now to Mom's coloring...loved it. My word would be civility. Actually have 2 words, second would be peace. Thanks for sharing your talent, time and stories. Hope this New Year is a great one for you and Peanut.
Great job Peanut. Your picture is as good as mom's.
Your card is beautiful, Kelly, but I think Peanut’s card is my favorite 😉! I wish I had just an ounce of your talent, girlfriend! And you are so right...God IS good, ALL the time! Happy New Year...I hope 2019 rocks your world in all the good ways!
Love the tea cups, I live in England and hav3 watched lots of series of this is us , just so good xx
Our family calls it " squirreling" going from one thing to another to another, be it chores, cleaning, talking. Lol! Awesome story time and beautiful card. My word. Security. Yes, God is good and 2019 is going to be Awesome. Happy New year to you and Peanut.❤✝
Nathan, you have a good eye for coloring. Keep doing lots because you are good at it, young man.
Love your card! And Peanut’s too! For 2019, I choose Happy!
And Happy New Year to you.
Very cute card! I really like watching you color and shade with Copics. My one little word for 2019 is Create. I want to create more cards, make more scrapbook pages and crafty decor projects. 2018 was difficult for me as well. I had quite a few health challenges last year. This year, I plan to create and play more, even on days when I am hurting or depressed or anxious. I'm tired of pain controlling my mood and my plans for the day! 💜
Love the card peanut is quite the budding artist. Thanks for sharing and showing us the process. Take care.
Gorgeous card, I don't mind long videos.,this one I watched while having breakfast.
Love all your cards, of course, but this one is genius!🤚🏻
I am amazed at how you color you cards!! They are beautiful beyond words!! Also loved peanut's card!!
You do such beautiful work! It's like "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie" one thing always leads to another. Your peanut is adorable! Happy New Year!
My first job was at an A&W, for years I couldn't stand root beer! I love it now though! Your work is amazing and I love the processs as well as your real life. My word is "listen". I want to hear more from others. Thank you.
I love to watch you doing your cards talking about your son. I drive through Cleveland to go home to my hometown. I live in Pennsylvania now my word would be keeping a positive attitude this year. I have 2 son's with Autism my youngest will be graduating in April this year from Point Park University he made all A's & B's this semester he has positively has shown me you can achieve it if you really want it. Have a great new year
Congratulations to both of you! You clearly did an amazing job raising an incredibly resilient young man!!
Happy New Year. Beautiful card. Peanut did a great job too. I love how you kept going with the background and patterns that you weren't happy with.
Beautiful coloring, love the layout of the card. Btw, I have the sweetest tooth of all. I have a least one candy bar a day, if I don't, I feel depressed, lol. My favorite candy bar is Hersheys layer cookie crunch in the purple package, you have to try it--sooo good, they also carry a dark chocolate with mint in the green package. My word for the year would be employment. I was out of work for 5 years & need to go back now, pray for me, lol. Peanuts card is awesome!!!
Daughters first job was at Subway, even after 10 years i still can't stand the smell of it...great job little man...wishing you and yours a wonderful and successful 2019...
This was such a perfect way to start my morning, I get excited when the videos are long. Your such an awesome teacher and I can easily listen to your stories while watching and learning. Maybe because I’m a women!? LOL Nathan has your artistic talent, so awesome!💌
I watch your videos all the way through Kelly, or what's the point in watching any of it if you don't. I learn so much from you so I'm Allestree going to support you. Tell peanut I love God card and he's nearly as good as his mommy. Looking forward to many more videos of yours during 2019. X
More caring in this world would be so wonderful. My 1st job was at Grossmans whish was like a small time Lowes home improvement store. Had a great time there with my friend and we found it funny that our managers name was Charlie Brown! LOL. Went on to work in the animal field which was my passion for almost 20 years till I was injured on the job in 2006 and became disabled. Now I work part time at Michaels craft store (which I love and it supports my craft habit lol) but is very hard due to all my health issues. But, thankfully I have great managers that are good to me and CARE about me (unlike where I was injured) and it keeps me going even though I deal with pain every day. I am a single mom too and its tough. So having people who care can mean the world. Love your videos and thanks for sharing all your wonderful stories! Happy New Year!
You are so talented, incredible, I admire your skill. Thank you. Envy you.....................................
What a pretty card, Kelly! And I love your stories.
Your videos are my breakfast companion so I love long videos. Also I watch 3 hour streams by my arty friends so your videos are short to me. It's all perspective. Love the teacups and the background is awesome. I always learn something. thanks as always for sharing, Yeah Nathan!
I love your videos. I worked at a Steakhouse for 2 weeks as a teenager. Some old man pinched my butt so I quit on the spot lol. I LOVE desserts also. Wishing everyone a Peaceful and Prosperous New Year.
Beautiful....I love it....HAPPY NEW YEAR 🥂
Spoke too soon! Love the gold on the cups and we’ll, the whole rest of the card!
I know I’m a little late to the party but this is just so beautiful and inspiring. Funny, I always get so excited when I see a “long” post. I just get comfy and settle in for some good learnin’! Thank you for all you give, I appreciate it and it adds positivity to my life which is kinda rare these days.
Love the different coffee flavors you put in. Very nice!
My word is also Kindness. If Peanut likes baked beans, try putting them on buttered toast! Tried it in England a very long time ago and loved it. Still do as a matter of fact. Happy New Year to you and your family. I love watching your videos and I always learn something new. Thanks so much.
Turned out gorgeous. Wishing you the best in the New Year.
Absolutely beautiful.....as usual. Love your videos.
Beautiful card Kelly and a woot woot to Peanut for his card!
Hi there my wonderful friend! 💗 I hope u and peanut had a wonderful Christmas and great New Years! THANK You so much for putting a smile on my face every Time I watch you!!! U truly have helped me in so many ways! I’m in a emotionally abusive relationship ( he’s the president of narcissism!) I’ve been putting up with this for 7 years, becoming more and more depressed! Once I found you and some of the other girls, I started to come alive! I also see how amazing you are/have been going through ur changes in life!! U have inspired me to get back into my passion of art and given me strength to start making changes this year!! This Will be the year of “ doing me!” Like u say!!😊 I’m actually excited and nervous about accomplishing this big change! ( He went to prison for domestic abuse with his 2nd wife!) He was also very vindictive with her and new boyfriend! I could go on, but long story short I’m scared!) I’m getting professional help, but any input would be great (considering u dispatch!) Again thanks so much!! ❤️❤️❤️ PS I tried leaving a comment on ur blog (not the first time I’ve tried!! 😂) and still did not succeed?!😫 Love Love this card!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Have you spoken to your local police department? Is the abuse ever physical? Is there a reason you cannot leave?
Love Peanut's tea cups. He has your talent!
Love your card look like you could pick up a cup and have a pleasant afternoon with it. Like the way you did all the cups make the plain ones into you art, love it. Thanks for sharing your story as well hope you have a wonderful New Year and I really enjoyed the learning process for the picture to give it life. TFS.
Aw that is so cute that he did a card exactly like yours! Happy New Year! :)
I would watch a 2 hour video of you just coloring and telling stories. Cant wait til you do a FB live and we can actually be a part of the conversation lol!! I had a hard time picking a word this year but my word is accountability. I want to better holding myself accountable and my children accountable for their actions and also for taking care of myself this year.
Awwwww love Peanuts coloring
I love the fancy tea cup. Guess I need to buy that stamp. You sound a lot like me, I’m a snacker/ grazer and Love those sweeties. My son-in-law’s mother brought over 23 kilos of chocolate from Scotland 😬 I guess we’ll be good for a while. I too have shiney squirrel brain. Start on things and it leads to another and another and nothing gets done . Too bad we don’t live closer, we could run in circles together with our sweet spaghetti brains. Happy New Year! Oh, and God is awesome. I couldn’t have gotten through all I did after loosing my husband but God provided a way and I’m so very thankful.
Such a fantastic card, so love your colouring and scenes you create
love the cups and the picture and think it was a lot of work...I know what you mean by revisit it....get some ideas on how to deal with the issues and you can really move forward again. This is one way to learn...so I'll be looking forward to some of your ideas on how to do it again. Happy New Year to you and Peanut. He has a nice mommy...........pat
