Beautiful work thank you for sharing this ❤

Hi Becky .I am so sorry it has been stressful and so so sorry about your Dad. Your hair looks lovely. Thak you for sharing you gave me a bit of a giggle .like you, I have had tough year struggling to craft and sketch. Happy yuletide and blessing for 2025.

My favorite is the polar bear on the left

Becky, those are _not_ failures, They are simply unfinished. Mega-diffference!!!! This year has not been easy for you, so sit back, relax, know that you've done your best and be proud of all you've achieved, not only with YT, but in the stressful life you and the family are having to deal with, 24 / 24, 7 days a week, without a break. (The Nullabor Trip was a great getaway, but the home stuff goes with us, doesn't it!) So here are five big hugs (one for each of you!) and a massive <envy> for your lovely haircut! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

I'm happy to see you are doing well, your hair are beautiful ❤️

I had so many ideas for projects that I never got around to, I so feel this 😆

Yes to flip to page in 365 and then do it on camera. Merry Christmas, I hope you had a relaxing time off. Blessings to you in 2025 and strength for your Dad 🙏🏻🫶🏻

I don't comment that often but I do watch all of your videos since I started watching you at the end of last year. I always get excited when you post a new video & always enjoy & feel inspired when watching them so I just wanted to thank you & say I appreciate the work you put into them. Hope you have a lovely new year ☺

What a trip! Thanks for sharing. I love that you added all your souvenir pamplets. Your video was so informative. Well done!

Thank you for another year of art, crafts and all around fun videos. Your hair is too cute! I do the same when summer hits us in the southwest. 🥵🏜 Happy Holidays! And best wishes for a happy, healthy New Year!🥳

I watched the pottery throwdown with those jugs, too! 😂 best wishes for you and your family. ❤

merry Christmas Becky - you give us such joy! Gorgeous hair! Best wishes for a healthy year for you and your dad!

2024 has been a horrible year. Let's hope 2025 is a better year for both of us.

Thanks for the review. I had no idea they had two sets of each I love all the colors but my favorite is sap green and imperial purple. Your eagle is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!

I have the same jug in blue. One time I was accused of putting water on the table at every meal just so I could giggle when the jug gurgles. Well yeah, might as well explain that the sky is blue!! The art book looks fun but just remember it's there for you, you're not there for it. Sounds like you made the right call on all these things.

I have really enjoyed watching the videos you have done all year. The Nullarbor one was so good as we're so many others (too many to mention) looking forward to seeing what you have for us in 25 but also hoping you get a good rest and wishing better days ahead for your dad. Thanks for being my mate through the year 👍 I've enjoyed the few little chats we've had 😀 Merry Christmas to you, Nick and the rest of the family ( Gandalf and Trixie too) and happy new year 🎉

I love your hair. Haven't cut mine in forever. I started my art business this year and new art channel as well. But I also had so many things left unfinished. Hopefully in 2025 we can finish all our unfinished projects. Happy Holidays Becky.🎄🎁

Have a great break, Becky! Your unfinished pile isn't too bad, actually. I wouldn't want to go through mine, LOL! Looking forward to 2025!

Merry Christmas Becky! I hope you have a lovely break and get to do some creative stuff just for you. All the best for the new year xx

Your videos always make me happy, I hope your Dad feels better soon and gets through this. I hope you enjoy your break and thankyou for entertaining us. Have a great holiday and happy new year! I love your cats and your hair looks amazing!

Take the time you need and reassure yourself that we are here when you’re ready. (Your hair looks fabulous!) Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Becky, thank you for all of the videos and inspiration over the past year. Do not apologize for taking time for yourself. You have had a stressful year and deserve to take time for yourself to reset and recharge. We will be here in 2025 whenever you are ready to start sharing content again. Looking forward to another year of watching you create wonderful art. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, Nick, Gandalf, and Trixie! Enjoy your time off!

Your hair looks so cute! I got a chuckle out of your t-shirt 😂 I'm in the US and saw that video sometime this year. I bet he's a national treasure lol. I hope the new year brings better health for your dad and other loved ones. Merry Christmas!

I'm glad for your dad that he has such a caring daughter. Happy holidays

Didn't get to order my photo magazines as I did not have enough work for most the the year. Didn't even do the index photo album for my 2023 artworks

I didn't get to make any Christmas presents this year but did 46 hand painted Christmas cards instead. Baby Yoda with a Santa hat or nothing!

I love this❤❤❤❤❤ sooo inspiring!

That 365 day book I have one somewhere haven't even started it yet. On my list for this year

Becky sorry cancer socks. I have several in my family who have it. Make sure to take time for yourself too. Thinking of you and your family. I love your hair and your videos, Merry Christmas and see you in the new year.

My best wishes to your father 🙂.

A number of years back Lindsay 'The Frugal Crafter' did a BIG Marie Kondo sort out of her studio - she had A LOT OF STUFF, it took her a number of months to get through all of her things and organise them and to her credit she has managed to maintain the studio in an organised way, she says it's life changing and she feels sooo much happier for it and most importantly less stressed and overwhelmed by all her stuff and wondering how many lifetimes she'd need to use ALL the products she has.

Your hair looks great Becky!

Looking lovely Becky!!!

Wishing you and yours a very happy holiday season! Take good care of yourself!💜💜💜

Merry xmas to yourself, Nick and your dad 🎉

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you & your family Becky. Hoping for the best in 2025. Enjoy your time off. 😀😸🎄🎇

It's such a weird concept to me that it's christmas and also summertime somewhere on the world 😂

The cover page for the one sketchbook is lovely!

"Somedays it's impossible to be creative!" thanks for reminding me that, I need to remember that! Sometimes I guilt myself into trying paint something even though I'm not feeling it!

Further from the comment I just left on your Alkali Creek Art advent calendar unboxing video from last year. I just looked on Miranda's website, for anyone who is interested, the Da Vinci 13 half pan paint set appears to still be available from her for $US53.00, which includes international postage. Equates to approx $A85.00, which (IMO) is not unreasonable. So sorry to hear about your Dad, it must be so stressful for all of you. I do hope his health improves. Thanks for all your videos Becky, I have enjoyed them. Have a good break and recharge your batteries. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Kind regards and cheers. Heather

Dear Becky = hope you have a happy xmas, a good new year, and the much needed rest. Hoping your father heals well.... Warmest greetings to you and Nick and your cats and All. (YES re the prompt book, those are often fun on youtube. Do it for us.)

Ok, I am an idiot. 😆Do you guys still celebrate Christmas even though it's summertime for you, or do you wait until December?

Hi Becky, I came to look for this unboxing after watching today's post. I was very interested to watch the swatching of the Da Vinci paints, as I've seen many people rave about them. (One of Jane Blundell's three favourite brands, according to her website.)They are hard (impossible?) to buy in Australia, as you say. Jackson's stock their brush sets, but not the paints. They do look nice though! I guess you'd have to get them direct from the US and pay the postage. Oh well. But my main comment is about the Fabriano Artistico paper. IMO they make every brand of watercolour look amazing. My favourite paper by far (I've never tried Arches though.) But it's so expensive, so mostly I just use the Baohong CP, which is okay and certainly much better than cellulose/wood pulp paper. Thanks for sharing this unboxing, I'm always interested in your thoughts. Cheers. (PS your painting is very cute.)

Sorry to hear about your dad but glad he’s being kept a close eye on. Absolutely love your lil Buddha I thought it was already printed in the book 😮 hope you manage to have a good Christmas zx

Congrats on what you have accomplished this year Becky, which has been a lot! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, Nick, your Dad and kitties!

Thank you for the year of smiles Becky! Wishing you and Nick a happy Christmas and an enjoyable break. See you next year. Love to your dad.

Wishing you and your family a happy healthy 2025. I am looking forward to a new year of positives myself. Good looking hair! Seems you have many successful creative accomplishments and you have left space for more to come. Take care of you 💙

Wishing you, Nick, and the fur babies a wonderful break. Plus wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year. Sorry that life has been so difficult for family members and changed your plans during the year. Your attitude of “such is life” is the best, you can only do what you can do, unfortunately takes time to really learn that. My suggestion would be, when you do start the studio, do EVERYTHING, drawers included, so music on, and then play with rearranging things and cleaning. You have achieved some wonderful things in 2024, especially the massive drive across the Nullarbor and the accompanying journal. Maybe the other coaster set could be dragons dressed up in Easter clothes, who knows, no doubt you will come up with something special. So here’s to lots of fantastic videos for 2025, lots of happy days and wonderful memories and adventures ahead. Looking forward to what you do come up with for video content over the coming year 💕💕💕

Merry Christmas young lady. I hope your new year is better than the last one for your father. Leave be with you and your family always.

Your hair looks great Becky. You’re not alone in running out of time to do everything this year. I’m not sure where the time went. Oh well, there’s always next year. Have a great Christmas and New Year 😊
