wow, so much to say here! the “always pan” was such a find!! I love that you went for it with the champagne batwing dress. it definitely does have ‘20s flapper butterfly Halloween costume vibe; honestly such a look. also, I love your commitment to snacks. finally, my one resolution for the new year has been incorporating more dopamine-dressing-style color into my life. so far, finding your channel has been great for inspo!! hope your ‘23 is going well, Kathleen!

That dress is SO Auntie Mame. In my book, that’s high praise. Just in case you wondered. Highest fabulosity rating.

[@freelancespirit]

Yay! I’m so happy Gus is comfy being on camera. Loved your little new years montage. So cozy. One of my New Year’s resolutions is to make more time for hobbies. I also want to make time for creating art.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Haha I'm glad, too! He and Kashi are a lil' dynamic duo. I also want to make more time for art & creative hobbies. Maybe you need to start making YT videos to force you to do them? Heheheee 😉 Thank you for being here, Kyra!!!

[@mermtato]

Sooo...I've decided to start from your oldest videos, because ma'am, you are my jam; and lo, and behold there you are with the exact sake cups we had in the 90s up here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada :P we ended up either donating them or selling them at one of our yardsales before we had to move. Wouldn't it be amazing if it was those same ones that some how made their way down to you in Ohio 20ish years later??? Anyway, between the way I gasped when I saw them and your general fun vibe I thought maybe you'd get a lil kick out of my storyyy :B

[@cremeuxkraft9019]

[@KathleenIllustrated]

aw thank you, spidey friend!!! I'm on the same page - more art in 2023! Appreciate you

[@FunFanRandomerz]

What I would love to see is more diy/upcycle/thrift flip community stuff maybe like a lil group chat on some platform where the whole community can share and get involved with little challenges. I’d love to get back into sewing and being part of an online community would definitely get me more hyped up to do things. But also no pressure since I can imagine having to run another thing outside of KZbin could be time consuming. Either way love what you are already doing gal and keep it up 🌸💕🌸💕 But If anyone has any suggestions to already existing online communities that sound similar let me know!! I need more sewing hype in my life ❤❤❤

[@KathleenIllustrated]

paulina!!! i LOVE that idea and it's definitely something i've tinkered with in the past... 👀 i'm happy to hear that there's interest in building a community off of YT. thanks so much for your encouragement! Hope your new year is going well so far :)
