Thank you Susan, for sending Elise a love package! We all love her but you took the time to really show it! Blessings and love to you, wherever you are!

I so enjoyed watching you open Susan’s gifts and seeing the joy her gifts gave you! I’m an artist and that book about Frida Kahlo was so nice!!! I’ve had birthdays when no one remembered me!!! Not that presents are what makes a birthday, but Susan is such a treasure to make yours special!!!

I didn’t realise that you actually have quite a large garden, both front and back. That will certainly keep you busy and give you pleasure, no matter the season. 🌻

Your garden is coming along! Some suncatchers on the windows will help let the birds know it's a window and stop them from crasing into it. Lovely early birthday gift! Happy spring 🌼🌱

Just an idea 💡 you could put what we call a “lazy Susan” in that corner cabinet, I’m not sure what you call them there but it’s a spinning corner cabinet! They are really useful for corner cabinets.

Use Crazy Glue on your oven door 😊

I absolutely love the big windows looking out into your beautiful garden. Thumbs up for the kitchen. You have really transformed your house into a lovely and cozy home. The package from Susan was very special. Sharing parts of your life with us brings such joy to our lives. A gift from a stranger simply shows how much you are loved and appreciated. Enjoyed seeing the joy on your face as you opened the gifts. It is nice to see love and kindness extending across the world.

I admire your “do it yourself” attitude. It’s fun to learn new skills.

It was my first day at a new physically straining work. I worked 6 hours this time but I feel like I've worked 20.

Yes, the sun glasses definitely rock! They add a touch of glam. What beautiful gifts from Susan; she is a thoughtful and generous person. I must say, you have many fans that enjoy what you share about your life with us. In a year's time, you'll find it hard to believe how far your garden and home has come. It is fun to watch someone else do all the work :)

It was so cool watching you open the gifts from Susan. And you rock those sunglasses! i can tell she put a lot of thought into those gifts. And you deserve all of it! Your garden is looking great and you’ve made such beautiful improvements in your home. Watching your videos lights up my day! Happy birthday Elise!

That was so sweet of you Susan. All those gifts were so thoughtful and so her! You really nailed it!

How kind and generous of your friend, Susan to send you an early birthday present. Each gift inside seemed so thought out and perfect for you.🥰. Your garden is pretty already; I can’t wait to see it all in bloom. I know it must take effort to put together these videos with the music, outfit changes, positioning of the camera, etc……… I appreciate it and love watching them.❤️

Gosh Susan, what a kind and generous soul you are!

Watching your vlogs is like dropping in for a cup of tea and a catch up with a cool friend. The best part, is seeing how relaxed and comfortable you are in a home that feels lived in. Still empty shelves and a little work to do, yet it seems like you've always been there. Wonderful atmosphere. ❤

Susan, you’re an amazing and awesome woman for doing what you did. Elise was like I’m going to be 29 and after the gifts her smile lit up the room. 🇺🇸 ❤🇺🇸❤️

Those sunglasses are giving Elton John vibes and I love it

Great progress Elise! I’m always impressed at your gardening and renovation skills. Thanks for sharing!

I watch because I am living vicariously through you. I also would love a little bungalow, away from everyone, that I could fill with books and art and plants. I’d fund it with a little boutique shop and online sales, like you. I’d add a cat (or two) and a car. No, scratch the car, I’d have a truck and a motorbike. If it could be by the sea too?? Now that would be perfection. Sending love from the UK you beautiful girl ❤️

I have a Granddaughter who is a ginger and she hates it, I love that you embrace it, and thanks for the entertainment value you bring😊
