  1. Happy Thanksgiving! Beautiful cards. So grateful that I get to watch your video while I get ready for work. You are absolutely my cup of tea. ❤️

  2. These cards are so pretty! Even the "luckiest" of us deal with some troubles, stress, or miss someone during this season. My wish for everyone is peace of mind, body, and soul.

  3. I could hear your heart was heavy when I started the video. Sending hugs and prayers to you!❤
    I too am THANKFUL for YOU & what you have done & what you will do for the papercrafting community!!❤
    I too am a foam tape addict & I'm ok with it!!😂
    Love the cards & the PF suite!!❤❤

  4. Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you for sharing your blessings and struggles. We all have both. The key for me is faith and focusing on the blessings.

  5. I appreciate that though you’re clearly grieving, you have chosen to be a light to your family and others. That’s not an easy choice, but you’ll reap the rewards one day. Happy Thanksgiving.

  6. May God give you comfort and strength to get through this time. Just stay focused on the Lord and keep the faith. Jesus is our only hope, He is with you. Happy Thanksgiving!

  7. Exactly Kelly, where can we go but to God. He is my everything. Right now I'm dealing with my feelings about saying goodbye to my terminally ill sister. How can I tell her goodbye? I'm 76 and I've out lived a lot of my family and friends. So to cope I have to depend on the Lord. Anyway dear girl I so enjoy spending time with you. God bless you and your's. ❤

  8. Kelly, sending love and hugs. I feel you, I lost my husband 6 years ago and sometimes the holidays just hit differently. I blessed with my 3 daughters and my 8 wonderful grandchildren and that’s what I try to focus on, but knowing that the Lord, Himself wept gives me permission to feel my feelings of sadness and of gratitude at the same time.

  9. I love these cards, but even more, I love hearing about your faith, and I agree with your thoughts 100%!! Yes, we need to focus on our blessings, and it’s ok to grieve what/who we’re ,missing. Thanks for sharing, Kelly. 🤗❤️

  10. Your message and voice hit me. I so thankful and this year I'm more aware then even how tomorrow isn't promised. My cousin not even married 4 months lost his wife. She graciously donated her organs, and her light will shine on. However I know her husband/ my cousin is struggling.

  11. Ah Kelly, stunning cards as always. And just know I appreciate you for being you, for keeping it real and honest. I am in South Africa and I can't wait to check in the morning to see if there is a post from you❤ I pray that you have a good rest of 2024 and that 2025 is good to you and your family. Keeping you in my prayers, as always🙌🏻 We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here, but I have a lump in my throat, reminding me to be thankful even though it has been a tough year. Sending Love from SA❤

  12. I agree that we can be both sad and thankful. We’ve also had a really rough year and God has gotten me through it. We have survived a lot of things this year but the worst being we lost our son at 22 weeks pregnant back in June. I also almost lost my life during it. I often question why God didn’t save my baby, but I also thank him for saving my life so my other 3 didn’t lose their mother. This holiday season I am grateful for what I do have but also heartbroken for what I don’t. I will keep you in my prayers for what you are dealing with, as God knows all about it. Thank you for speaking on this tonight Kelly! ❤

  13. You are a blessing to me. I too have some anxiety I wish I could overcome and some difficult things to deal with. Hearing you share just reaffirms that I am not alone or weak. I used to have an issue with the phrase “God will watch over you and keep you safe” when things got tough. But then I realized that since he does
    love us unconditionally, when something happens that we think is bad, we must remember that just because we don’t like what happens does not mean that God forsakes us. We are but human and cannot understand his Devine understanding of what is best for us, but that does not mean it is not there. Our final destination is home with him and that is too incredible for us to imagine. So yes, we put our trust in God, who is all knowing and who loves us. It is hard to do sometimes, but it will not let us down. Thanks be to God.

  14. Kelly, whatever it is that is weighing so heavily on your heart, I hope that you find the peace that you are looking for. I hope that your family is okay.

  15. Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for sharing. Have faith, stay strong and my prayers are with you!

  16. for what ever is going on in your life, you know you are beloved by this community. and supported,. thanks as always for sharing and all the inspiration.

  17. Oh Kelly, I hear you, and can feel your pain. We’ve all got you in this community. I have followed you for many years, and have always admired you so much. You have a wonderful family. Whatever you are going through, give yourself grace and time to do whatever necessary to heal from whatever you are going through. I love your stories, and your truth. Never change the way you are, I watch you for your talent, I listen to you, because I care and feel like you are a friend I’ve never meant in person. Blessings ❤️

  18. I love your videos for the inspiration and teaching, but the bonus is that you share a little bit of your life and heart with us – and we can all relate! Happy Thanksgiving to you and to your loved ones 🩷🍁

  19. Breathtaking cards! I think I like the one with the black background better but they are both so lovely. Thanks so much for all you do.

  20. The cards are beautiful! I am glad that you showed it is ok to give yourself time to grieve , to continue to put your faith in God, and to look for those wonderful aspects of your life that sustain you while still allowing yourself to process everything that has happened. Sending prayers and hugs your way.

  21. ❤ this has been a hard year for us too and you’re very right in that you can be grateful and struggling at the same time. Lots of love to you and your family. Hard things are hard, but we can do hard things with God and the support of those around us. Happy thanksgiving ❤

  22. The cards are beautiful! You are blessed with so much talent and are an inspiration to fellow crafters. Have great day with your family & hang in there.

  23. Kelly, everyone here has already said what I feel. You are loved, respected and an inspiration to all of us. I heard the pain in your voice and I am sorry for what is causing it. I do believe God has a plan for us and he will get us through what ever he decides. Sometimes we don't understand why but God is good and give him your pain. God bless you and be strong.
