8:06 Thank you for the ducks Gabi ✨🦆🦆💛✨

5:37 THIS PART IS TOO REAL 😭 I love this video because your apartment doesn't look like an IKEA showroom. It's much more realistic and has so much personality.

It's not a failure. Think of it as being successful in two things instead of one. And many people don't enjoy working for themselves. I thought I wanted to make a living from my writing and I realized it stunk, and I'd rather give and sell cheap. Success means different things to different people.

it was the best idea ,congrats🎉

this was really reassuring to watch. i'm in a similar boat. i wanna quit my job to pursue my passions full time but every time i take some time off, even for a few days or weeks, i feel an insane amount of stress and usually don't leave my room or talk to people for days. it's good to have a balance of working 3-4 days a week! :)

I needed to see this today. I start a new job on Monday and it’s my first 9-5 since my business started to tank, hoping to find new avenues with a lot less stress after this new path!

Your painting are so beautiful! I think you must sell them individually as art print in the future. And I like your new hair.

I appreciate you making this video to share your going back to work story. In the height of the pandemic, I quit my job to 1. be able to do remote learning with my kids when schools were closed and 2. (bonus) focus on my writing. While I achieved a lot of writing goals and put in a lot of work trying to find an agent, I did not achieve any commercial success with my writing. Which was disappointing, but it is what it is. 4 years later, schools being back open full time for half that, I am now looking to go back to a more traditional job. I'll always have my writing as a hobby and maybe even break into the market one day. But the truth is, like you mentioned, I also had a lot of trouble managing my own time during my "chasing my dreams" phase! I didn't write nearly as much as I would've liked to, but then I did have a good time enjoying the flexible of my long work break. I'm lucky I was able to chase my dreams in that way at all... and learned a new appreciation for people who actually grind at their passions to make it viable job. I am not that type of person and that's okay.

Everybody has square toes! At least, we're usually born that way. And then shoes ruin them.

34:40 Aww, i love that you picked mona duck for august! my name is lisa and i was born in august too, so i‘m totally headcanoning that as the reason haha (ˊᗜˋ*)

I loved all the ducks in the park! it's fun to pick out each one

Such a nice idea and wonderfully executed ❤

Working remote and four day work week!? Guuuuuurl you’re winning!!!!

May and August paintings are my favorite! They are so good, haha :]

I love all of them!!!! Waaaw! Great idea! ♥

This was so much fun to watch and see the full creative process of. I love seeing how you adapted all these famous works of art and found a way to integrate ducks in them 😆 I think my favorites are February's The Kiss and December's Starry Nights.

How cute! I am so proud of you for finishing that project!

Are these also going to be available as prints, I'd love to put my fav on the wall behind my bed, a blank space I'm still looking to fill with art😊

Can I please have a duck planner! Version of this!

Loved loved loved this! How adorable!!! ❤

Does anyone know what size ipad that is?? Also, adorable calendar 🥰

it turned out so cute!! I think the starry night, the swing and mona lisa are some of my favs🦆🧡

I can't wait to buy a calendar! I might get two so I can give one to my sister. Love your work

I never buy calendars, but yours is an absolute must!!! Your ideas are insane and I like your representations better than the original! The swing is my favorite.

28:52 Buddy Daddies! Very similar premise, but very different characters. It's one of my favourites and really surprised me in the storytelling and character development!!

I LOVE IT! super cool and fun idea <3 Ducks are the best!

OMG spy family is sooo soo good! I recomend you to watch Buddy Daddies, it has a similar vibe hihihi oh, Yakuza's guide to babysitting is on my list ✨✨

OMG this calendar looks amazing and I can't wait to buy it. Having my 2025 duck filled will be amazing!

Your calendar is amazing!!! Congratulations!

This vid was so fun to watch!! Proud of you for finishing the calendar ... I feel you on setting ambitious personal deadlines 😅 you're inspiring me to get my sh*t done!

Love that I found you. Work life balance is so important. Visited your shop & got the notepad!

Please please, ship to the UK or also make a digital downloadable version! The illustrations are just too adorable and I would love to see them everyday in my home <3
