Well done daughter, God has a plan and all will be well. A really great idea with the scripture cards loved them and when I am back in my happy place I might decide to make one too. The collaboration was more than-a success it was wonderful, a big thank you to you for organising it for us. love Mum xxx

[@wendyengland2530]

I love this!

[@mzo707x]

What happens when God had a terrible plan~and all will never be well ❤️‍🩹 again? 😢

[@eileenantignano2549]

We will not go anywhere!! When you are ready to come back we will be here!!

[@janicestevens8469]

The new kit is incredible and the freebies are so generous! I can't imagine what you're going through right now with a move and concern for your boys. With prayers from all of your followers, your faith and your super powers, you and the boys will prevail! I promise to watch your videos to help keep the channel numbers up and I hope others will as well! There are so many wonderful videos to see! Be sure to take good care of you! Love to you, your boys and your sweet mom and whole family!

[@katherinehawkes]

I'm praying for you and your family, Rachel. Thank you for sharing your personal information. I am in a similar position: After almost 50 years of marriage, I am leaving our home and having a small in-law apartment built at my son's home. It is so unexpected and stressful, but I believe God will provide for our needs and support this transition, protecting all involved. This collaboration has been a wonderful distraction for me throughout the month. It has been simply wonderful and I am so appreciative. I pray you continue to be blessed and feel the love of many who support you in your choices. ♥♥♥🙏🙏🙏

[@denisemosur3084]

Both you and your mother are so lovely. May God grant you the strength & the courage you need to get you through these challenging times. And may he shine his blessings on you and your family.

[@missyleftrick5525]

Oh Rach I am so sorry you are going through a rough patch. The unknown is always scary but you got this! You have so many people praying for you and sending strength and love! We will all be here when you come back! ❤

[@lloydg8273]

Rachel, you have done an amazing job with this collaboration, the kits and all the freebies that you've shared. This year has been a very rough one for so many people. Sending Strength and Healing Prayers to you and your boys. So often we feel alone in this vast world, but God is always with us. When I was recently dealing with a rough situation, a dear friend shared this message, and it's stuck with me. "What God closes, none can open, and what God opens, none can close." One day at a time. One step at a time. Peace and Blessings!

[@lisastevens2607]

It may seem un-doable and really scary but you have the strength and the courage to make it through. Remember to draw from the strength of your family, friends, community, admin and your faith when you feel weak and know you are never alone in this journey. Much love to you Rachel and to your boys as you head down a new path in this life’s journey. Ohhh and don’t forget all those super powers you have in your toolkit. 💙🦋 Xxxx

[@karlahartzog6485]

I had a “start over” when I was a younger woman. It was the scariest and the most rewarding, exhilarating time of my life! The new life I built is so, so much better than the old. I pray that experience for you, Rachel!

[@kerriebetts3994]

Oh Rachel, I'm so sorry for your tough time. None of us can be certain of what the future holds, but I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. I wish you all the best for whatever the future brings. Just keep strong and everything will work out just as it's supposed to. Sending you love and hugs

[@KikiIannazzo]

Rachel, I am so incredibly sorry for what you and your family are going through. Please know that we are all thinking of you and will continue to support you however we can. The road ahead is uncertain for us all and the only certainty is that the good Lord above is with us. Guiding us, loving us, and forever IN us. Sending you much love and showers of blessings.

[@kaybarrera6537]

[@lindasparks7131]

No words to express how my heart breaks for you! 😢 I wish I could wrap my arms around you and hug you in comfort!

[@eileenantignano2549]

Rachel. This colab was wonderful. Thank you so much! You and your boys are in my prayers! You will come through this. You have a huge support system. We are here for you

[@selinagreenow8642]

So I’ve already commented but I had a phone call this morning that has left me in tears and will have a detrimental impact on my health (fellow Energy Limiting Chronic Illness person here). Tears have dried (for now) and I’ve printed the verses and backed them with the gorgeous papers from your new kit. Now I’ll be trimming the pages (all trimmings kept and donated for the local hedgehogs!) and cutting out the verses as a mindfulness task. Thank you ♥️

[@amberjordan8559]

Thank you so much for the Christmas collaboration. Last year was my first time joking and I loved it. This year did not disappoint, it was just as fun and just as beautiful a kit. Big hugs and know people care.❤

[@kellymorrison1648]

Oh Rach - thoughts and prayers are with you and the boys. Sometimes things happen for a reason! You will come out of this stronger than ever.

[@calkath]

This is the first collaboration I have participated in and it has been so fun! ❤ I have found some new creators to follow too! Organizing this event was a lot of work so thank you so much!

Lovely, as Bella said... God has a plan and we're all praying for you.

[@DonnaFernandez74]

I absolutely love this idea and will definitely be making my own journal with daily encouragement cards. My heart breaks for you and the kids as you go through these changes, especially right here at Christmas, which just adds to the stress. I will try to watch previous videos while you are gone and will definitely be keeping you all in my prayers as you go through these very difficult times. I appreciate all you do for the crafting community and pray that we'll all rally behind you and support you now when you need it the most.

[@TammyBosshardt]

Bella, the new kit is beautiful. I love the colors. The scripture cards are lovely to have too. My heart goes out to you, and I will include you and your boys in my prayers. I am sending lots of love and hugs your way. The journal turned out lovely. I have enjoyed the collaboration, you put a lot of work into it. Thank you, thank you. I thank each of the collaborators too. I have learned a lot.

[@kykategray]

What a beautiful and thoughtful gift you have given us in your dark and uncertain time. I paused and said a prayer for you and the boys, and will continue to pray for you all. You definitely have your mind set on what is most important, and He will guide you through. Much ❤️. Now, I’m off to your shop…

[@carrieerickson2139]

[@LiesjeDeVries]

You will be okay! It's tough, but you will be okay. I know, I've been there, I despaired, but after a year I realised I survived! Cry as much as you want, there will be a day that you will smile, because you made it! Thank you for your hard work on the collaboration. It was my first time following a whole month. It was not easy to keep up, so I can't imaging how hard you must have been working. Sending you strenght and hope.❤

[@helenjohnson9066]

Sending lots of love and prayers for you and your boys Rach, have faith and know that all will be well!!❤🙏

I’m sorry you are going through a hard time right now. Be strong! Have courage! New beginnings are always scary. You can do it! I’m sure everyone will watch and rewatch your videos until your return. You are in our hearts and my prayers are with you all!

[@edwardhandziak4219]

Prayers for you and the family. This collaboration has been awesome, am doing a lot of the beautiful ideas they have been giving us, thank you so much. Can't wait for the new one. God has you in his hands, God Bless you. Judy C.

[@aspiretoinspireartscrafts6248]

I enjoyed watching your collaborations and being part of your design team for a lil while and a member in your Facebook group. I greatly appreciated that you gave me that opportunity. Now, being diagnosed with many health issues, my life has turned around tremendously. But here I am grateful to accept my limitations in what I can do. Looking at the bright side, I was given a saying that if you were in a round table with everyone putting their troubles on the table and you had to pick one, you would take yours back. Yes, you realize your troubles are not that bad. Look at the “unknown” “that change’” of being a good change. Not knowing what trouble you are going through, Rachel, just know that you will over come it, once you are ready to step over that stone. God will protect you and guide you through these difficult times.

[@aspiretoinspireartscrafts6248]

[@sygarris1]

You will be in my prayers as life changes for you. God will guide you and keep you, please keep faith in that. My heart is breaking for you and your sons. Thank you for all you do for our community and for others. God Bless you, sweet lady.

[@lisasmith287]

This will be my first collaboration that I have watched every video - thank you for a great kit and putting this amazing team together. Looks like I will be buying this new kit too, it looks wondeful. I really like this idea for an advent calendar. I will keep you and your boys in my prayers, as well as your parents as you make your way through these next few weeks, praying for strength, guidance and encouragement. Please know you have a large community lifting you up in prayers and who will support you by watching videos and making purchases from your shop.

[@crystalrue1968]

I'm so glad you have your faith to lean on through this trying time. I know it feels as though the world is falling apart, but God has you in his palm and will shelter you through this storm.

[@TracyCollin-k7d]

This new kit is absolutely stunning! I’m so glad I decided to become a member. It is well worth it, as you are so very generous! I am truly sorry to hear you are going through a rough patch. My prayers are with you and I hope that once you are settled you find true peace and happiness. ❤️

[@wildrosebohemian]

Well DOne Rachel. What a whirlwind month. Thank You so much for all you do for your community. So many freebies.. the quotes are so delicious!.. Love the dd project. The quotes are awesome. Will be praying for you and your boys. Will continue to pray for you...

[@LifesEverAfter]

Many thoughts and prayers for you and your family. I am a true believer that God does not give us more than we can handle. You have been a big inspiration to me throughout my short time of journaling. Take the time that you need to get your life and new journey into place. I have no doubt that all of your followers will give you the continued support that you need. God Bless and take care!

[@christine0nowell757]

Sweetheart, stay strong I did this many yrs ago, left with 2 children and a suitcase, rented a place to live same time of Yr as you. 40 plus yrs later, very settled many adventures on the way, and have been blessed. The worst time is at the start, but have faith, and you will get there and become much stronger in the process. Your Xmas kit arrived yesterday and it's so gorgeous, good luck on your journey of life xxx

[@cindyjanssen9021]

Rachel, you are one of the strongest women I know. With support from family and friends, you and your boys will look back at these difficult times and realise the strength you have.

Prayers for your strength and courage. Thank you for all you do.

[@DeeFrancis-y7y]

The freebies are wonderful. You have done such a great job with the kit and collaboration.

[@outerrimarts1370]

This is a great idea. I will be trying to make one. Thank you for all you and your mum did to put this collab together. It was my first one and I loved it! I love going back and watching past videos. Will be catching up on your past ones. I am praying for you and your family. You are in His hands. One of my favorite scriptures is Proverbs <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="185">3:5</a>-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight." I have this scripture hanging on my bathroom wall so I see it several times a day. It settles my anxiousness about the future. All the best to you. See you when you get back! 💕

[@DanaCreatesStuff]

Rachel I am fairly new to you and your mom's pages, I have to say you both are the sweetest genuine crafters I've watched. Stay strong, it looks like your followers (including myself!) will help all we can with watching your older videos so you can "do life" during this challenging chapter of your lives! Prayers and virtual hugs any time you need it..... Much love from a new friend in Oklahoma💜💙💚

[@JuliaWilliams-i2q]

[@janhopper3332]

Rach, this year's collaboration has been so lovely and creative...so many wonderful talented people including your mum, Bella! I've learned a lot about how the whole month functions and wend my way through it, especially when I miss a day or two. Hope you, Gez, and Steph are all feeling better. Your mum gave an update for Gez's husband and that he may go home soon. Keeping your mum and you in my prayers with all you are dealing with in moving.
