[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

[@mariamangion21]

So proud of you for getting sponsored! The quality is amazing & the brick books turned out AMAZING! Well done sweetie 🥹🩵

[@diananicolecornejo]

Any advice on good modern prayer books?

[@mariamangion21]

Can we just appreciate the content she makes for us!! You keep us so entertained and your videos never disappoint! You have made such a great impact on my life 🥹 I feel like if I spent a day with Allison, I would immediately be happy for the rest of the week 🤍So glad I found your channel on 21st Dec 2019!

[@BetsyBHAPPY]

We feel the same way😊, I just commented the same, that her videos never disappoint, it is so true!!! I only found her channel on Sept 2021 and I loved her since

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Thank you so much, Maria 🥹🦋🌸 I’m so grateful for you and hope you are having a beautiful day! Thank you for being the best. 🎀

[@rabearisoa]

yes

[@canditamcdonald9880]

Yes I always look forward to her videos ❤

[@shygirlshar8509]

I honestly visit her channel 2 days a week just to escape the hussle & bussle of my city-high rise world & also to romanticize a softer lifestyle for myself. I remember the very 1st time her video popped up around Christmas 2020 & I was intrigued to see more of her lifestyle each season. It's one of my favorite channels, hands down. She has a way of bringing us into her world 🌎 for a moment through a camera lens. 📷

[@abbiegrier207]

the brick books turned out so adorable and so good!! i highly recommend spraying them with a sealer so they don’t wash away in the rain or fade so fast from the sun

[@mariasantiago1249]

The “garden books” came out so, so adorable. Not sure if you’ve already did this… you may want to put a sealer on them so that your art work doesn’t fade or wash out with the weather. Love this!!!💕

[@SeaMistLights]

Lovely Allison. I rarely comment on videos, but I just want to tell you how LOVELY your videos are. They completely give off warm, cozy vibes and make me long for crisp weather, cups of tea and the coziest book to read on my round couch in my book nook. I know that that is your aesthetic and also some of your great joys, and so I wanted you to know that you indeed inspire others in that way. Your channel is a pleasure, and brings a sense of calm. Bless you!

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

How absolutely wonderful are these words of encouragement…thank you so much 🥹📖🌸

[@lonnessaowensby3429]

Dear sweet Allison I have been a quiet video watcher for about a year now...I think 😉. I just had to comment for the 1st time & tell you just how much this beautiful video touched my soul. The segment of the rain & thunder with the beautiful music you chose in the background seriously made me cry & moved me to give thanks to father God. Something so simple that some take as an annoying hindrance to their day caused me to pause in being so grateful for windy, warm, rainy days. Thank you for all the beauty you emit from inside to us & for the beauty you capture through your camera. We'll done!! 🌿

[@mamtagada]

Your love for books, craft and garden is phenomenal ❤

[@fegrace_1]

I really like the book brick craft. I will definitely make my own. Suggestions: Maybe consider putting a clear finish/paint over top of them to help them weather the sun, storms, and all the other elements. Also, they have rain barrels that you can attach to your gutters and it will catch the rain, you can then hook a hose up to it and use it to water your plants/flowers. Thanks for sharing this video I love peaceful rain!

[@jenstickley361]

Allison these brick books are soooooo special. ✨ You did such a precious job! Thank you for always spreading joy! 🐌 You make my sweet little life even more beautiful. ☀️

[@mariahwyant]

Also I love when Brandon said it's like paradise back here I smiled

[@terryspease41]

Good afternoon Allison, you make the most beautiful relaxing videos! I remember watching your videos long before you got married. Just out of college I believe. The candy corn garland hung across your fireplace. 🧡🫶 Been many many years. Everything is just lovely 🤗🍂🍁🍂 Enjoy your day!

[@rainbow616]

As always a beautiful video 💕 The footage of the caterpillars and butterflies is breathtaking. So sharp. You're so creative Allison like with the bookstones at the end. I love how you romanticize your life and thus our lifes. Watching your videos is like watching a fairytale. Your videos are always so colorful and with attention for detail. I love that so much!! 🙏🥰🌺🍀

[@adriennehart7453]

Allison, you should invest in a rain barrel!

[@klementinatani3313]

When it rains there it feels like it’s raining here in Athens, where is so hot that u can’t go outside!! Thank you for sharing with us the 🌧️ days ❤

[@dianejohnson7235]

How cute are those brick books!!!! Can't wait to see where you place them!!!

[@HarryThomasPictures]

Rainy afternoons can be soothing, your butterfly mug is the best🤩🦋☕️. Your updated camera works magic. I've got my cup of tea in hand ready to be inspired by your magical content after a long day✨️!

[@kimmbond2052]

Hey Allison, I think you should put a clear coat on those cutie books so they don’t “run” in the rain! Love them. They are adorable.💗🌸

[@ursulag3254]

How precious are those chubby caterpillars. We have so many here in Queensland, Australia. The most amazing one I've seen (it literally takes your breath away) is the Blue Ulysses butterfly which is a bright electric blue colour and they can be pretty big too. Also the birdwing butterflies are beautiful too.

[@operacionanaconda]

The proyect of the books OMG 😍😍😍 I NEED to do this myself!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@readsandeats2263]

Loved the Brick Books, they look great. Rainy days are so great for cosying up on.

[@xokelseyxo9238]

Dearest Allison, You're a tangible reminder that each moment we are given is a very sweet, precious gift from the Lord. Your pure joy for the mundane moments is truly inspiring and contagious. It is so obvious that Jesus shines within you. You are a beautiful blessing to those who are lucky enough to be in your life orbit and to this world. Thank you for always sharing your journey here on earth. I believe in Earth Angels and I truly believe you are one of them. I pray that you, Brandon and Palmer continue to have the most beautiful, magical, peaceful and happiest summer season! ☺❤🌷

[@lonnessaowensby3429]

I so agree!!

[@justinasouza2311]

Just love your day vlogs and your crafts are so inspiring! Thank you always for taking us along. You’re such a bright light!

[@mitziestefaniademaa9492]

[@Laurajessica_]

Another beautiful video Allison. Those book bricks are precious! 🥹💖

[@juli844]

You keep me so inspired and wanting to make a more beautiful life for myself and those around me. Thank you so much❤

[@Crystal-ie2mb]

Such a fun and beautiful video! I’m also a fun of any stationary store. I still love going to hallmark and even some local postal shops have such cute things. I’ve been obsessed with cards since I was a kid. Love the craft painting idea, so creative and beautiful.

[@nicolechammas5800]

Allison, I would like to share with you the way I make a salad with the Couscous semolina. Ingredients : parsley, fresh mint leaves , green onions, cucumber without the seeds and tomatoes. Finely chop the parsley, the mint and the green onions. Cut into small cubes the cucumber and tomatoes. Mix all the veggies with the Couscous semolina. Seasoning : salt, lemon and olive oil. 🤌🌺🌺

[@saramarques7986]

Great recipe! I usually make a lot of couscous salads, my preferred one is with grilled cubes of smoked tofu, 1 boiled egg, shives, basilic leaves, asparagus, olives and I choose between red pepper/corn/ sweet peas or mushrooms . A drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice. Salt and white pepper.

[@isabellalacy9901]

Ahh Allison! I love this so much and I’m so obsessed with your content. I also love how crafty you are! It’s so fun to watch you make things. Ilysm and I hope you’re having an amazing day! 💕

Our sweet boy! 🐶📖

[@nancyk777]

Your videos instantly make my day brighter! You're such a joy to watch and I'm so grateful for you and all the hard work you put into each and every video.❤ The garden bricks look amazing, I can't wait to try making some myself, it's such a lovely summer craft idea.

[@leslaedennison3604]

Love the book craft! I think it would be even sweeter to select different sized bricks and small pavers, and even wood scraps to give the display a more realistic quality since books aren’t all uniform sizes. And, seal them with a waterproof sealer to protect them from the weather. Although, I have done outdoor crafts with acrylics before and the acrylic paint holds up very well.

[@BetsyBHAPPY]

Hello sweet Allison! You look so pretty on that intro, you have a special spark! I am ready to enjoy a new video🤗. Your videos never disappoint 🌸🌸 have a wonderful rest of the week!🧡

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Thank you so so much! You are so kind to me 🌸🥹🦋 I hope you have a beautiful rest of your week as well!

[@mariahwyant]

I'm so thankful you posted a video today. I ended up taking a mental health day. I just haven't bee doing well this week mentally with my depression and anxiety and all of that. But so happy you did. I hope you have a good rest of the week. If I would have worked today too by the time tomorrow came around I would've worked over 100 hours. Just within 2 weeks.

[@colleenlewis790]

The brick books are so adorable🌸

[@mootmootmootmoot9933]

[@scrapin4mhe]

One suggestion, make sure you cover those cute books you painted with a fixative so the rain doesn’t wash the acrylic paint off.

[@lotuspetal5143]

[@IslandTime79]

I enjoy your videos so much. Your garden is really beautiful-especially for this hot florida climate. I do have a question though. How do you keep from being eaten up by mosquitoes? I also live in central Florida, on the east coast and I can’t be in my garden or patio without getting lots of mosquito bites. Any tips?

[@romanianlicious]

Love your shell bracelet, where is it from? ❤

[@phantombladesmith]

You are so talented

[@connieshyne1358]

Can you tell me the hair products she used? It turned out so great.
