I liked you from the first video that I watched. I thought you were so genuine and your story tells me my intuition was right.

[@katemurray4450]

you took the words right out of my mouth

[@BirdnanBarry]

Sucking it up, pulling up your boots straps, keeping your family first, making things work for you or making do. You are a inspiration to all young families. Proud to be apart of your YTF.

[@Juju-bm1sh]

It’s not how many times you fall down sweetie, it’s how you get back up. You are super impressive and your family is amazing. I’m sitting here watching in tears and smiling, because I’m so impressed with you and your beautiful family. Getting back up is WAY harder than falling down, and you did it. What a beautiful story and I’m sharing with my nephew and niece so they can see others doing it, family first, like you are.

[@jlawhead36]

This had me in tears and gave me the motivation I needed today. Thank you for sharing your story. It is going to help so many people and it only made me love your channel even more!

[@lenhar2211]

This is a beautiful story Elysia! Still watching and I'm so happy for your family. You should be proud of yourselves.

[@katevoris8811]

You won me over with the car repair - the first video I watched. 😄 While it wasn’t typical of your content, I now see how it reflects your determination and desire to inspire others. Happy New Year.

[@jhmaness1]

Thank you for letting me hear your story. You and Philip are amazing and a real inspiration. I’m 76 years old and have had a wonderful life so far, but you have made me want to do more for more. God bless.

[@kathycourtney7958]

[@mascharff56]

Living well is the best revenge. In spite of the challenges that 2020 has offered us, you are a shining inspiration of what is possible.

[@faysalkus1083]

Have you watched Curiosity Inc. from Edmonton. He and his family have made major changes and also given back immensely. I am happy you have done so well. I am retired but still look forward to all the future changes. Life is great as long as you put family and the little things first.

[@fb9001]

Fay Salkus now I am curious about them too

[@marylynngottler7055]

I am absolutely in tears listening to this. Your story parallels our own family story in many, many ways. You are so brave and resilient!!! Your example to your children is a strong and powerful one. All of your videos have inspired me greatly and I love them even more knowing the background to your creative business! God bless you and your family in 2020 and bring you peace, joy and prosperity!

[@thebradoctor]

What a blessing you were able to return home. This morning my prayer circle discussed God will shut doors to protect us! Praying for you to reach your 100K subscribers sooner than you imagine. You are offering more than trash to treasure inspiration. You and your family are showing the world good, old fashioned family! You are Role Models: in more ways than one! Excited to see your creations and channel growth throughout the New Year!

[@joycejohnson7061]

What an inspiring story of overcoming & not giving up! It is so true that good can come out of something terrible. There is is saying that goes, "Gold is tried by fire, but good men (or women) by adversity." It is those hard times that make you stronger, make you step by and re-think, refocus, and do something even bigger & better! Love y'all's story, admire your grit & tenacity!! Love your channel and all the wonderful, creative, beautiful diys you share with us all. Thank you for sharing, thank you for your inspiration. May God bless your every effort & your beautiful family!

[@joanncarr4079]

Congratulations on weathering the storm! You are where you need to be. We all need you and your wonderful projects and ideas🤗

[@lupegriego7498]

You are such an inspiration. We all have our ups and downs but our inner strength and God’s blessings gets us back on track. Best new year to you and yours!

[@cindycowsill5144]

Elysia, after crying my eyes out I was left with so much hope and inspiration. Your relationship with Phillip takes my breath away and your dedication to your children is amazing. All too often we forget about other people's struggles and focus way too much on our own little world of problems or wants. You blow me away with your kindness, generosity and selflessness, even after everything that you and your family had to endure. I adore you and I am your biggest fan. This world is lucky to have you .❤️

[@janer2703]

Tears, here. Of joy! You ROCK, Girlie! I LOVE your journey story. Stay creative. Hugs from Cleveland, oHIo. YOU keep on upcycling!!!

[@squishy1324]

[@lindamccutchan1321]

Your an amazing person and thank you for sharing your beautiful family. The good and the bad, because that's how life works. Thank you!

[@alwaysinblue]

A few years ago we went through a very similar experience. We moved to the east coast and it was the worst move we have ever made. We moved back broke and without any place to live. But...We made it! You made it!! You start over, but not from failure, but from experience. And I hope your channel continues to grow and that your business will continue to thrive. Blessing, little one. 💝

[@Paperlover123]

You guys are awesome....and man, you got the best mom and dad in-laws EVER!!!!!!

[@dianastokes740]

So glad that something that went so wrong, has turned out just right. Life has handed you challenges, but you came out on top. I enjoy seeing the things you turn into a treasure. Keep up your awesome work.

What an amazing story! Life can be incredibly difficult sometimes but you don't appreciate the highs if you don't have the lows. Our family has gone through extremely difficult times too (a daughter with stage 3 cancer.......she's 10 years cancer free) but we are soooooo much closer now, we never take the good times for granted, family is precious. Thank you for your bravery in sharing your story, we love your videos!

[@g.r.m.treasures2465]

Just watched you pick through the dump. We don’t have them here any more,but wanted to share with you that memories flooded my mind of my mother taking me to the local dump to pick. I lost her several years ago,and I love the memories you helped invoke. Your story is touching and inspiring. God Bless you and your family in the years to come.

[@maribellcarpenter3052]

WOW! Thanks for sharing your story. I'm sure it was difficult to share. Your message encourages other to stay faithful and focused on God's plan. Thanks for being an inspiration!

Wow! What a story! Maybe a book? My first degree was Early Childhood. I knew you were a soul sister! I admire the way you're giving back. I'll check out Etsy. Thanks for sharing your soul!

[@awesomesauce7535]

Such an inspirational story! Your in-laws were so right to say to believe in yourselves-we are all so glad you did🙂 Loving this channel 💕

[@ginnyj7449]

I only recently found your KZbin channel but I’m so glad that I did. It’s by far my favorite channel to watch. You guys are so inspiring and I absolutely love your creativity.

[@meawilde5439]

Elysia and Phillip you guys are such beautiful people. The Mother Earth needs more families like you. Many Blessings Mea 🙏 💜

[@mabragg65]

WOW! My first thought was; God bless you all. My second thought was; what you all have been through has destroyed many families. You are so blessed to have one another. I subscribed to your channel at the very beginning. I could sense there was something very special about your spirit. I wasn't wrong! I'm subscribed to many DIY channels... this is the first time I've ever left a comment. Your story of survival touched me deeply. Keep the faith Elysia. You've got this!

[@ElysiaEnglish]

Appreciate the support 😀

[@cindypurvis9097]

I've been inspired since the first video I saw. Your way of teaching speaks clearly to me and makes my projects so much more accessible. Can't wait to create more in 2020.

[@deborahdrake4997]

You are a courageous, authentic and beautiful person. As the new year rolls in I hope your family continues to prosper and are blessed beyond your wildest imagination!

[@janwages8435]

God Bless. Love from North Georgia Mountains. I'm starting my channel at age 59. It's never to late to go for your dreams. You are such an inspiration.

[@erino3644]

I found your channel about a month ago and I fell in love with your happy disposition and your creativity. I am so happy for you and your family. You have endured and come thru on the other side. So happy for you.

[@cherylcooke4308]

What a wonderful story! God Bless The English Family!

[@doggiemama7192]

What an inspiring story. I'm so happy that things have worked out for your family. Your in-laws are very wise! Best wishes to all your family for the coming years. 😘❤❤❤❤

[@donnakloss4625]

This video made me cry! I'm happy I found you on youtube! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Enjoy your ride :)

[@elviagalvan78]

Wow! Thank you for sharing something so personal & open your heart on how you and your Hubby do whatever it takes for your family.....praying all is well, I’m still sharing your KZbin channel to friends who love your farmhouse/bohemian chic style. I tell them, you can create it on your own for the fraction, & you are saving old furniture. Blessings to you in 2020!...... 🥰

[@Barribam]

I love that you both get to enjoy your new jobs. It really shows in all of your vids. ❤👍

[@jorayadams2363]

Elysia you are so amazing and sharing your tears hit me to cry along with you! I'm a sensitive person and feel everyone's emotions, it hit home. So blessed that your journey took you to a positive outcome in the end. I love the positive energy you give and I was so happy when I found your channel 6 months ago. I love the idea of working with my husband, it's so awesome you 2 get to work together. Such a inspiration to others... I have always enjoyed taking someone's trash and fixing it to fit into my decor, there were times when some people would laugh that I'd pick up things that others had thrown out, but I knew that I could make my home look beautiful without spending money. going through a divorce while raising 3 young kids was definitely a challenge. I ended up struggling with depression but having projects to keep my mind busy I was able to push through and changed my negative to a positive, loving life as it unfolds! I love that you shared your story with us and giving positive advice to help others. Once again you are AMAZING! ❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️

[@VaLonFrandsen]

This is so amazing, I love your story. Your great words of wisdom are so appropriate right now. Do what you love and even if you have nothing you can still make it out of it.

[@katharinetalarico4569]

Hi Elysia! I have only been subscribed to your channel for a couple of weeks now, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR TRASH & THRIFT TO TREASURE VIDEOS! But after watching you on this one, I want to TRULY THANK YOU FOR inspiring me to follow my dream of being able to stay at home with my husband right next door to my oldest daughter and her family-with my 2 granddaughters! I have been out of work for almost a year because of some very similar reasons that you and Phillip had decided to make your big move. I had decided then that I can no longer work in the mainstream workforce - and that I have needed to find a better balance between my life with my husband while he continues to work from home, spending time with my family, and to find a way to be able to follow my creative work and projects, in a way that can hopefully generate more of a cash flow, like you! After watching you in this video, it helped me to see that im not alone in my journey of needing to make a huge change in my life! It definitely will be a challenge for me to pursue this, but I know we can do it! SO THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR INSPIRING ME TO FOLLOW MY DREAM! HOPEFULLY SOME DAY SOON, I'LL BE STARTING MY OWN CHANNEL! KEEP YOUR AWESOME VIDEOS COMING!

[@margaretphillips1983]

Just want to say your story reminds me of what I and my family has been thru! My problem was how can I move on? One thing is I am creative but I was in a standstill and depressive mode and could not see beyond me to create which I love doing. Just listening to your story I now know exactly what to do next from today on. You and your videos are a mixture of creativity and really everyday life - so uplifting to watch. THANK YOU !🙏!

[@Seriously-though]

I adored your personality and your passion to create for saving our planet...I adore you all even more. Your beautiful story is generous for those who struggle..I know any who hear you will agree..totally inspiring Love you love your channel..keep up the great work..my mother always told us growing up..if God brings you to it, he’ll bring you thru it. No clue of your belief..but A higher power says you and your family deserve so much!

[@tinagroulx5291]

Thank you for sharing your story. My family went through something very similar with packing up and moving away and having things be less than ideal. We too took the plunge and moved home, but it took us a year to make that decision (yikes!). Family, friends, and community are such a huge part of life and should never be taken for granted. Love your channel! Cannot wait to see what you do next.

[@tparz37]

I just found you last week & have watched every video & just found this one this morning ❤️❤️❤️ I love your channel & your family next for your family a TV show you are that good at what you do❤️❤️❤️

[@sjay65]

Blessed to find your channel. Your creativity is God given and your personality inspirating to so many ! You and your family are the bomb !
