#2024Plans #WordofTheYear #2024Goals #NewYear
I’m a newbie to your channel. I enjoyed this post so much. We are now retired but because of health issues we can’t travel. I just started coloring to help me deal with my pain. I am so sorry you weren’t appreciated for your generosity.. there is no excuse for bad manners. I don’t think we should ever take for granted for kindness’s shared. I hope some will watch this and reach out to you. I look forward to getting to know you.
I live in Washington State. Years ago I lived in England for 2 years. We lived in the Cotswolds. I worked in Stow-on-the-Wold. I miss living there so much. Blessings. Debby 😊🩷
Hi Debby! Thanks for subscribing, I have a friend who lives in Stow-on-the-Wold! 🥰
Hi Lily, hope that you have some amazing times in Roland. He looks amazing 😊
I'm looking forward to the decluttering videos, I've already started & the British Heart Foundation are making a huge collection today (5 banana boxes crammed with unused kitchen stuff, a few cardboard boxes filled with books & 5 bin bags with unused craft stuff) I made the decision to get rid of stuff I liked but won't ever use so I'm quite sad to see some things go but the feeling of getting rid of stuff out weighs the sadness. If that makes sense!
I'm happy for you that you will definitely be having Wednesdays off this year I can remember your last years goals videos which does prove that good things come to those who wait! 😊
Happy new year! Glad you have concrete plans to work less - more balance is also on my list!
Some people can be incredibly thoughtless re acknowledgments - I don’t understand it at all, and don’t think it’s an age thing, because I know people of all ages like that.
Looking forward to the decluttering videos - it’s always fun watching someone else organise and get rid of things. Super glad you’ve managed to move your office out of the craft room - hope that makes a massive difference to how much you want to use it! The motor home plans sound very exciting - wishing you all the best journeys for 2024.
Thank you Lydia! I wish you a wonderful 2024! 🥰
LOL re the 'thank-you notes' my Mum always made me sit and do that - people seem not to be able to converse now/interact and I wonder if they/we are beginning to assume this use of computers all the time means we think people can read our minds and actually know our tone of voice - I'm probably wrong judging by the ignition points not guarded by :)s. best of luck with 2024 :)
Congratulations with the new home on wheels! As for the craft room, mine looks pretty similar! 🤣🤣
Haha, I'm glad I'm not alone!
In my defence, its a lot tidier now. Managed to get it straight before Christmas. There's still too much stuff in it though 😆
Hi Lilly Wishing you a really happy 2024.Thanks again everso much for my chalk pens and coloring books ...I used my pens in my sketch book , thankyou xxxx . like you…. time has really sped up .We moved house in April 2023 barely remember… as we have been crazy busy ..... Had to buy a planner Diary to get me back on track , need time to create. I am 47 going on 48 in April …been soooo tired, no inspiration.... that's why I got a planner hahahaha. Also getting a Puppy at some Point, this year…Another thing I want to start saving again as my hit Wishlist …is near the end …I love Roland he is plush wow brillo. my word is Control ! I wish you all the best 2024 You will hit your goal xxxx Thank you so much for sharing xxxx looking forward to All your video’s this year Whoop whoop
Aww thanks Beth! You have great plans... and a puppy! Yes!
Hope you have a wonderful 2024! 🥰
How fun! Enjoy your new camper! ❤
Thank you! 🤗
Happy new year to you, ppl can be so rude and a thank you is so easy to say to show appreciation xx
Congratulations on your upgrade!! I hope you have a great 2024!!
Thank you! Hope you haveva wonderful, healthy and stressfree 2024. You deserve it! 🥰
Ooooh, Roland is looking fancy! ( and thankfully nothing ratty about him!😂🐀) I'm sure you will have some wonderful trips in that! Sounds like an exciting year! My craft room needs a bit off an unhaul really, I have a lot of card and scrapbook stuff that I just don't use, but I just somehow can't let them go, ( Just in case!) Might start packing some of it up and lofting it, to see when I next feel the need to use it. I'm saddened that some folks couldn't even manage a thanks for the stuff you sent, that's really poor behaviour. I've been lucky that people I've sent stuff to, have been wonderful and grateful and I was delighted to see them using stuff that's just been sat here. so sorry. Hoping that perhaps hearing you say it will make them think about their rude behaviour. (although sadly if my classroom is anything to go by, perhaps not, I feel like I spend my life explaining manners) Enjoy your new adventures, I look forward to hearing about them. xx ❤
Hahaha I'd forgotten about Roland Rat! I keep thinking of the chubby boy from Grange Hill whenever I say Roland 😆
Sounds like the same as my scrapbook stuff, it's been years since I used it... but... you never know, I might start scrapbooking again... 🙈
Happy New Year! You're new motor home looks amazing 😍 Good luck with the decluttering and organsing - one of my goals for the new year too so I look forward to seeing your progress. If you're in need of new video ideas, I'd love to see what supplies and books remain and why 🙂
Thanks! Happy New Year to you too! Plenty of stuffs still remains...lol.. but I will revisit it all during my craftroom decluttering 🥰
Love Roland Awesome. I Can Not Believe Some Did Not Say Thank You, Some People Just Don't Have Manners. Selfish Rude Ignorant, I'm Sure There Are Other Words 😊. I'm Colouring 1 Of The Picture's You Sent Me. I Hope This Year I Am Not In So Much Pain, 🤞🤞. I Want To Grow More Veg Going Try Marrow's Or Courgette, Peas, Carrots Brocoli, Onions, Kale, Spinach, Sweet potatoes ( I grow spuds in pots) loads Strawberry Plants, We Planted 1 Pear Tree, 2 Diff Kind Apple Trees, 1 Plum, Don t Have Greenhouse No more. I Don't Live I Big House, It's An End Of Terrace Of Only 4 Houses, Got Back Garden On Huge Slope, Front Garden Not Huge, Got Side Garden Put Fence Up So Dogs Can Go Out Have Wee An I Don't Have Go Look For Them If Chucking Down, Or In The Dark. Oh I Grow Flowers Too, Last Year My Gardens Were Not Really Bothered A Lot With, Our Son's Bought Us Shadow A GSD Beautiful Dog, Our Other Little Welsh Kelpie Had A Stroke Left Her Paralysed Had Be Put To Sleep, 😪😔Heart breaking. I Coloured A Lot This Is My 2nd Year Colouring,
Ooo growing fruit and veg sounds amazing! We planted 3 dwarf fruit trees in our garden about 10 years ago and both the pear tree and the apricot tree give loads of fruit now but the plum tree didn't survive.
Hope you are in less pain this year too 🥰
Hi Lilly! Happy New Year sweetheart!!! So sorry for the late comment…..i try to catch up with vid’s. Whow! Your motorhome looks awesome, that would be nice for explore the world! I am so sorry to hear that people not respont on your generosity…..it did not take a long time to say thank you. Lilly THANK YOU for the lovely videos’s and enjoy this year full with nice colorings and journey’s!!! 😉
Aww thanks Linda! Happy New Year to you too! Hope you have a wonderful 2024! 🥰
@@ArtJourneyUK Thank you, Lilly! 😘
Happy New Year! Congratulations on Roland! I hope you have a wonderful fun new year!! I am sorry some people you sent things to didn't think to say thank you.
Thank you! You too!
First i like to wish you a happy and colorful new year packed with a lot of adventures 😘 second i think its simply rude to don’t say thank you after all the effort and kindness you put in those packages. And last i cannot wait to see what 2024 will bring on the channel! Im enjoying your content a lot. Big hugs and a huge thank you for the smile on my face while watching your videos🤗
Aww thanks Amanda! Hope you have a wonderful 2024 full of colouring and jigsawing! 🥰
so many fantastic tips 😊😊😊
Hi Hun happy new year to you and your husband I am so glad you got to upgrade to a more spacious motor home thank you so much again for the parcel I'm so sorry if I was one of those people that you mentioned I know you reached out to me too I did get it the day you reached out lol I just want you to know how grateful I am to you and to Claire for the nomination looking forward to more videos from Lily this year and just wish you all the happiness and hope you reach all the goals you want to and glad your gonna work less you deserve it 💜💜💜💜
Hey gorgeous! No you're all good and you said thanks! Hope you have a great 2024! 🥰
@@ArtJourneyUK you too lovely Lily 😘💜💜💜
Yay! Hope we see Roland this year.😁 Looking forward to the declutter series I am still decluttering some of my hobbies after we last spoke can't believe how much I got rid of but it does feel good. Still keeping my diamond painting small might get bigger canvases later but only what I will start right away 😇("Update"-the lady who I gave my new draft table to finally said thank you 😵💫) That was a lot of dosh to spend out on gifts NOT to receive a thank you Lily, it was always custom in my day to say thank you even if you didn't like what you received....perhaps your gifts would be better received at a children's hospital or something. Love and hugs Mo xxx😘
Yes, I agree! When you calculate what 50 books adds up too... even at £5 a book that's £250 just on books alone! I easily sent out over £500 of goodies! Still, learnt my lesson now!
Happy New Year to you lovely Mo 🥰
Ooh look at Roland! Looking forward to seeing what you get up to. Happy New Year 🎉
I know! Isn't he lovely! I'm going to be the wandering colourist!
Happy New Year Sonya! 🥰
Great plans! I love your new van!!!
Thank you! 🥰
ooooo congrats on the beautiful new motor home hope you get to use it lots....lovely plans for 2024 and I love your word of the year
Thanks Emma! Happy New Year to you 🥰
I’m so very glad your life is getting easier. As you said I know you worked so hard to get here but now’s the time to enjoy!
Exactly! I knew that changing the structure at work and spreading the responsibilities across a matrix of roles allows for better scalability... and a reduced workload for me! I'm so excited for 2024! Happy New Year! 🥰
Lovely video - it was like having a chat with a pal 😊. Love the new motor home! So excited for you & hubs to have adventures. Looking forward to your home decluttering too - loved your old decluttering vids - have a Happy New Year Lily 🎉
Thanks Jackie! Happy New Year to you too 🥰
Congratulations on your new motor home, looks amazing xxx
Aww thanks Vickster! Looking forward to a few years of touring now! Happy New Year my lovely! 🥰
Happy New Year Lily! Sorry to hear that you were on the receiving end of lack of basic manners, it doesn't take even a minute to type a thank you note these days. I loved your decluttering series so I've just subscribed to LifeJourney and look forward to the next series - and following along on your Roland adventures of course!🚍🙌
It wouldn't surprise me if those who didn't acknowledge receiving their parcel are selling on what they received from Lily!
Aww thanks you! Happy New Year! 🥰
@@leonnehaaijman4709 ya just never know these days! 😅
@@leonnehaaijman4709 you may well be right
Happy New Year to you Lily! I hope you enjoy lots of new adventures in 2024 in the new motor home. Your giveaway was so generous and it's disappointing to hear that some of the recipients couldn't be bothered to acknowledge your kindness.
Happy New Year to you too! 🥰
Marvelous! My own plan for 2024 is to end the year with fewer possessions than I started it, and to do art every day. Thank heavens for teleworking. It will extend my career by at least eight years. Happy trails to you! ❤
Ooo that's a good plan! I hope to end 2024 with fewer possessions too... I might keep a tally!
Yes, if I still had to travel into the City every day... I would have already given up work, the commute was so draining! Happy New Year! 🥰
What exciting news! I was so disappointed thinking you were giving up the motor home completely 😞 and then jealous when I saw the new one 😂 Thanks for sharing your plans, happy new year to you and I hope you bring us along with you in 2024!
Isn't he lovely? I'm so excited for this year! Happy New Year to you too Jackie! Thank you for your always lovely comments! 🥰
@@ArtJourneyUK I am well jealous 😉😁 Roland looks fabulous and I am sure Mr B and Robbie will love it having you to themselves a bit more! ❤️
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! I'll be expecting Roland to be "rolling in" to the drive sometime in 2024 😅😅
Absolutely! We'll be seeing you in June sometime! 😉
Roland is a very handsome chap indeed, I'm not even remotely envious lol. We had touring caravans for years, right up to when the kids got to the age of not wanting to come so we sold up. Having the extra space will be amazing, our last van had a fixed bed in a separate bedroom, pure bliss not having to make up the bed every night.
I loved your decluttering videos so I'm looking forward to the next series, really need to do my house so hoping for inspiration.
I don't have a DP stash and I'm not building one either, I've the painting I'm working on which was a Xmas prezzie from my son, and two others that I bought when DAC had the black Friday sale, that's it and it will stay that way lol.
Oh no, so sorry for being one of those that you had to chase re. my sisters parcel, I did have a million things on my mind though 😍
Anyway, back to swatching my Prismacolors now that the 2 missing purple pencils have arrived, they were £155 from Amazon, it's the older set from when they were swapping out the 2 pencils but hey ho, good price that I couldn't resist lol 💜💜💜
OOO I saw that bargain price for Prismacolors, I would have snapped them up too... if I didn't already have them!
Ah no wasn't thinking of your sister, there were many others who I hadn't chatted to, your sister had no idea who I was or what it was!
Happy New Year to you lovely Lorraine!
That is very interesting to hear, I’m from England but have lived in Vancouver 🇨🇦 most of my life, I’m a gen X by the way the forgotten generation, and I thought it was that English are more polite than Canadians and never even thought it was a generational thing but with what you said with the packages makes me think that it might not be an English vs Canadian thing! Interesting 🤔. Alll the best for 2024!
I was surprised. Maybe people are just too busy now. Maybe they are used to getting many things in the post and whatever I sent was one of many packages in a sea of packages. Just struck me as odd that some people don't even acknowledge receipt. I blame Amazon 😆 Happy New Year! 🥰
ROLAND!! That’s what I named my British Siri voice! It’s because he helps me rooooll down the road! Haha
Hehe! Rolling Roland lol!!
How Are You Feeling? X
Lily, I don't want to be more of a downer on the subject, but when it comes to people responding after receiving something from someone... I own several second hand shops on the internet and I send about 10 parcels a week with them. The amount of people that even care to send anything besides just pressing the 'pay' button, is remarkably low in my experience. Now I do understand that you gave them a gift, rather than fulfilling an order they paid for and a thank you is a bit more common or appropriate in your case. But all I mean to say is that I think the landscape of the internet, as it has been in the last 10-15 years, has made us so 'lazy' when it comes to putting effort into communicating. And that simply because communicating is now so easy with the internet and social media, that I am pretty certain this is not an age-thing or young-people-thing. I see it everywhere with all kinds of people.
Interesting theory. When someone sends me a gift, I always say thank you. You're likely right that communication has become lazy indeed. Happy New Year Astra 🥰
What????? i can not believe that people didn't say thank you. My mom would kick my butt if i didn't say thanks and i am 51 😅😅😅
I'm 56 and my mum would kick my butt too!!
You can always send the items to a pensioner (me) and get a thank you and a heart emoji.
I'd be happy to! You'd probably write me a thank you card with a fountain pen! (Like the good ol' days!). Happy New Year Peter! 🥰
@@ArtJourneyUK Because of the grandkids I have a left handed fountain pen when they saw me struggle with a right handed unit. As I was doing (assisting) with their homework it seemed only right.
