Hello! This is my first time commenting and I want to take the time to say that I’m happy for you! I’m 65 and looking forward to the changes that will come for me and I’m praying for your adventures to come! I will be here WHENEVER you return to us and I’m sure others will be here as well! BTW I love your videos, I’m subscribed and I always ‘like’ your videos before I even watch them because I know what I’m going to get! Blessings to you and your family!

Oh, I am so excited for you! Another KZbin friend of mine moved into her new home that she had built about a year ago and her home is amazing. Her craft room is beautiful. I can’t wait to see your new craft space. I just know it’s gonna be amazing! I wish you all the best on your new adventure!

@gardeninggrandma52474 ай бұрын
Gwen, the best of luck to you in your new venture. Looking forward to seeing your move and your new craft space. I would advise living in your new craft space before deciding on custom cabinets. I have built-ins, and they really don't allow for any flexibility in the room if I wanted to change things up. If it's something you really want, then go for it! Just a word of caution, but they do look beautiful!
@CreatedByGwen4 ай бұрын
Thank you for this suggestion, I was thinking about that! I've had my IKEA units for so long now and we are down-sizing so some of that needs to change. I don't want to commit to a custom option if I'm not sure I'll like it. I really appreciate this advice, I'm thinking I might do it in a few steps... eg. Move into the space, and then get the cabinets done.

Hi, Gwen What wonderful and exciting news for you. Just a suggestion, because I have a poor memory. When you don't have time to video, please try to give us a quick update on your community tab. When other KZbinrs have "disappeared" on me, I always check the community tab after a few weeks for news. I perfectly understand life changes and the need to take a break for various reasons, but at some point, no word at all, leads me to believe a channel has ended. Wishing you the best and looking forward to more exciting news. Nancy

New to your channel, so very exited for you. We had built our dream home on top of a mountain in Co, my kids were born there, it was a gorgeous home, we got to design the lower half. Years later we moved back home, Canada, and Western Nee York. Our home sold in a day with a big amount more than what we paid. I’ll always miss that beautiful customized home in Colorado, but we wanted to be near our parents as they were getting older. It was a beautiful journey. God Bless

I will miss our big customized house too... we raised our family there and it's now time to down size both the house and the land it's on so we can have more time to relax. It's been a big roller coaster of emotions but I know in my heart it will all be worth it in the end.

Unfortunately we've had large delays in the development of the parcel of land we chose, but things are moving forward now, and we should be in our new home by Christmas 2025 🤞 Love having an aussie papercrafter channel will definitely pick your brains for any local suppliers!!

Wow Gwen. How very exciting. We moved a few years ago from a large home in a bustling city where we had been for about 27 years to a smaller community and smaller house as our children had grown and left home. It was chaotic and yet wonderful to set up in a smaller, friendlier community. We now live just around the corner from our daughter, son-in-law and our one and only darling granddaughter and are delighted to be more involved with her. We are so happy in our new town. I wish you a great new and exciting adventure. I look forward to videos from you as and when you can. ❤ 🇨🇦 😊

That's exactly what we are doing, smaller home that is more manageable in a quieter neighbourhood. It will be worth it in the end, I just know it. I promise to keep you in the loop!

A new home, how exciting, wishing for you that the rest of your move goes as well as everything has so far. Congratulations! I will miss your bright banter, because besides loving your layouts, I love how you talk about them, hugs ~ Roni Sue

Congratulations to you and your family! Don’t worry about making videos for us. You are going to have lots of other things to take care of. But if you’d like to pop in every now and then to say hello, we would all love that! 😊 Looking forward to whenever your next video may be! 🇨🇦

Will do Tammy! Someone else suggested updates on the community tab which I think is an excellent idea so I'll do that.

❤ Sending up Prayers for you and your family! I know this going to be an adventure, as well as a lot of hard work! My husband and I are also facing some life-style decisions.... my Mother needs us, and we are 2100 miles away! She's legally blind, and nearly 89 years young! Yesterday was our 7th anniversarry in this house, and we are comfortable! So I will keep a watch for your updates, Gwen! Congratulations!!!🎉

Thank you so much Karen. It's so hard to know you're making the right decisions, you just have to take a leap of faith and trust all will work out! Yes, comfortable is easy... but nothing worthwhile was ever achieved while being comfortable. I know all things work for good and I know everything will work out perfectly for us both. xo Appreciate your thoughts and prayers for me and my family xo

I will do what I can... I meant to record the move out of the house and just didn't get a chance too. It's a lot packing everything up and a lot happening in the moment, it's hard to remember to set up the camera and record things. I will do my very best!!
