I love you videos - short or long - See you at the Texas Miniatuare Show. I wasn't able to get in the class, but I sure your students will do great.

Queen City is doing something that could work for you where she cuts up her videos and makes shorts from them. It’s just another way you can use the content you already make. You’re doing great!

🎉I have tons to sort it's surprising when I take things out the boxes but my excuse is I have 5 houses to do hehe 🎉😊

I don’t watch shorts but my kids do. I think the fad will run its course.

I love Bailey sooo much!!

🎉totally understand your need to rearrange things . I had to learn to say no 🎉😊 Bailey is cute 🎉

🎉you can do some math on a project for your kiddo. Measurements etc 🎉

🎉your not the only one that's losing it lol 😅😂😊😊

🎉I love the Fairfield house it's adorable what scale is it? 🎉

🎉I wish I could come to texts and see you 🎉😊

🎉 and your stories are so good 🎉😊

🎉I prefer long videos shorts are not great 🎉

🎉I home schooled my youngest he just did not cope with it he is on the autistic spectrum. 🎉

🎉I always forget the community tab lol 🎉

Thanks for the update. Cheering you on with homeschooling - it's fun and hard, I'm sure you'll be amazing! I love your videos and you've inspired me, thank you so much! My thoughts and prayers (and views!) are with you!

❤It's not just your opinion, Ann Reardon did a whole video about UA-cam algorithm, videos & shorts😢!!! I think it's a control issue by company/corporation/people (already rich, getting richer) who want a bigger slice of Their pie😢!!! Do you have a relationship with neighbors or friends who are homeschooling? Maybe you could get something started similar to play dates, and share the load with other parents with whom you trust? IDK because I've never homeschooled on either side or known anyone else who has. Good Luck though this place in your life, I'll wait & patiently be here❤!!!

Don't worry, Aira, we are here to support you. I think it'd be interesting if you could incorporate your children into your projects as part of a subject like math or science. I even think your vlog could include a session with you interacting with your children, if you're okay showing them to the world. Either way, I'll be looking forward to whatever you decide. Sorry if I misspelled your name.

So happy to hear that your child is doing better. Very concerned however with the news about the UA-cam platform's changes to revenue earning and how it will affect so many more motivated and creative artists like yourself. I appreciate the time you take to explain so many of your techniques, and do not mind at all viewing lengthy videos, although unfortunate that attention spans seem to be dipping due to the need for immediate gratification and lack of patience from society at large, and that you, and others like you, are being penalized.

Yeah, Bo Welch is an odd individual with strange and unusual designs but, that's why Tim Burton likes him so much (that he returned for Batman and Batman Returns). I also like Julie Berghoff and Jennifer Spence. They seem to live in that same kind of universe of Bo Welch but really love the deep blacks, greys, and of course Marlboro reds which attracts the minds of James Wan. Welch used similar color pallets for Batman Returns. Tim Burton, James Wan, and Alfred Hitchcock are my absolute favorite Directors and visionaries but you need solid Production Designers such as Bo, Julie, and Jennifer to design and build those sets. It's a cool project. Very laborious but should turn out really cool. This is the second video I've seen of this project..... No wait the third because I saw the fridge, but the first was the garage and apparently I need to see the film again because I was scratching my head over it. I thought Adam was in the celler or basement when Jane peers through the window, laying on the ground so I figured that was a cellar, but then they tell Lidia they'll build her a dark room in the basement. What had me scratching my head about the garage is that Adam and Barb can't leave the house and Barb is griping to Adam after their death she can't properly clean anything because the vacuum is out in the garage sooooo, that confused me so I'm gonna have to review that and see if the garage was attached to the house at the very bottom, which seems to be a hole in the story with the vacuum thus creating the idea the house is abandoned and dusty when Delia, Charles, and Lidia move in...... If the garage is attached to the house, it's part of the house Barbara can go to to get the vacuum but she can't because "they can't leave the house"......5

I am SO here for the studio vlogs!!!! While I LOVE your build videos, I also really enjoy vlogs!!

I think you are making really smart choices. You've got a lot to deal with and major changes take lots of time and energy to implement. I'm particularly impressed with your realization that you need to say no to keep as much control as possible of your schedule to help yourself with this transition. Good luck with all of it. I will be here watching everything because I love your content! In fact I'm working on a project right now using techniques I learned from you!

You are an inspiration! I have learned so much from your work. I also like longer videos, but I watch the young'ns scrolling endlessly never concentrating on one thing and dispare for our future. Thinking of you and your family. 😊

I like videos that are 20-30 minutes, and yours have always been watchable. However, I'm not a Tim Burton fan at all, so content focused on that theme is not interesting to me. Although I expect I can still learn wonderful techniques regardless of the theme... 😁 You teach us science related stuff in your videos... I have no doubt you'll do a fabulous job teaching your kids what they need to move ahead in the world. The schools certainly aren't what they were in my day, unfortunately. Your kids are going to be better off homeschooling! You can do it, mama!

Do what's best for you and your family!!! We will support you. Prayers for you and your family!!!!!❤❤❤❤

I enjoy whatever you post.

17:33 implying that Ayra has multiple Batman action figures with stiff capes 😁idk why that tickles me so much

Life throws us all curve balls. Being flexible is the only way to survive these things. I had a heart attack last year and have had to make a lot of changes. For example I've only just started driving again one year on. Embrace the changes and keep moving forward putting those you love first. Wishing you all the best. ❤

Good luck with the new plans, and the home schooling. I will still be looking for long form content, so will definitely be sticking around.

You know I'm all for you doing your store stuff on channel. I watch your kit tutorials every time you add one, even if I haven't bought the kit yet. I just love watching you put them together. I think that'd be a great way to promote your store. When you make a new kit. Do a tutorial on here, and paint it up, etc. how you would for one of your room boxes. I"m just happy with anything you post. I'm not technically a fan of shorts, but between shorts and nothing, I will take the shorts. They just remind me too much of tiktok content, and I rather dislike tiktok. (just my opinion, of course) Love and prayers to all of you. Bailey is adorable, but Stormy has my heart.. hehe

Please no shorts, don't pander to the morons.

I graduated from an online high school, it was the best decision I ever made. It was scary at first but was the most positive experience I had during my school career. I think it will end up being a good thing for your family. 🤍

Omg I love Bailey!

I like the idea of vlogs, alternative cardboard house, long vids but really enjoy shorts too. Good luck with home schooling and restructuring your time

UA-cam is pushing shorts so they don’t have to pay creators as much. Ann Reardan from How to Cook That recently made an awesome video about it. No one I know comes to UA-cam for shorts. We like UA-cam for the long form content. In any case, Ara your community loves your work and we’re more than understanding when it comes to having to make adjustments for the sake of your family. I’m a parent and I’m sure many others are too. The most important thing is that your child’s health is stable. Dealing with new issues can be frightening but your family has persevered and I’m so happy for you guys! I enjoy the shift of focus and look forward to the Cardboard House 2. Keep up the great work! We look forward to it!

It is absolutely amazing! I love it. It is as busy as it needs to be. The mushrooms are great - in a bad way of course - so colorful, so devious and creepy. You are an inspiration. So creative. Thanks for sharing. Your videos are the best.

It is good to hear things are getting more leveled out. Nothing worse than having no idea when someone is sick. Especially one of your kids. I homeschool for a couple of years with my two kids. It worked out well for them both. They entered back in at Jr and Sr high. I think that worked out best for them too. They were both more sure of who they were. An academically they did wonderful. And you do have the advantage of computer at home. There are many homeschooling groups and just support now. You are not the first UA-cam creator I've heard the same thing from.🤔 Be well to all of you. And your little guest.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💕💕💕🎉🎉🎉

I dOnt watch any shorts. Will watch whateverelse you post. Thank you

I have been trying for like a GOOD 2 weeks now to build a model Beetlejuice house (outside only). I am totally a beginner/dabbler builder. I made the Nightmare on Elm Street "popsicle" model from the movie and it turned out amazing. But, for whatever reason, the braincells in my head have been misfiring when it comes to this project. I'm making it out of foam board and cardboard. I've worked out the outside walls/shape, but the roofing is what's driving me insane. If you have any tips/tricks for the roofing I would be forever grateful...😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

So if we hear heavy breathing in the background we won't worry. 😉

No worries, take the time and room you need. I will keep an eye out for your videos as they post. Take care and be well 😊

For the homeschooling, my brother was homeschooled for a few years. One thing that worked for him was focus on 1 subject for 3 weeks, do the final for it, be done for that school year. Wait a few weeks, then power through the next subject. I know it's atypical from standard schooling, but it's an option (maybe). At least there's a few more resources now than there was in early 2000s 😂. If possible, a dedicated "School only" area may help. Wish you the best of luck in homeschooling and your kids ^^. You got this ^^. 9:40 Yes. I have a few "White Whale" projects that are a giant wall for 1 reason or another.

The shorts are a trend, and I feel like they are taking over many platforms. I like making shorts because they are quick and easy, but I prefer my longer videos because I also have a background in art education. So I enjoy making the project videos, but as far as the editing, the shorts are a nice break. This is all completely understandable. My kids are grown amd yet I am still in high demand, 2 out of 3 live at home with me and my daughter, being one has 2 humans that belong to her..lol😂 having my 2 grandkids and 2 adult kids at home makes it hard to work, its my only way to stay sane..😂 then when they are all away for days at a time its hard and sad..its a "can't live with them, can't live without them" situation. I admire that you are prioritizing and glad to hear that family life is coming along. Changing your normal routine is hard, but change is also just another chapter in our lives. Hugs and High Fives.. you got this, my friend!! 🫂✋🏽💪🏼🥰❤

Don't be afraid of homeschooling, it feels scary when you're starting but you'll soon get into a groove and become confident. My daughter went back to public school this year (9th grade) after being homeschooled since 4th grade, and it was such a wonderful experience for us both. It may take you a while to figure out what homeschooling looks like to your family, but you will. My advice--take a few months to "deschool" and feel out how you and your kids learn. If you can, connect with a local homeschooling co-op where you all can meet new friends, share curriculum, and get support. There's so much curriculum online and in the community you won't want for anything. You'll be great!

Good luck Ara. I will be grateful for anything you have the time to post. I have learned so much from you - all for free. Of course your family and earning an income must be your priority. I will always watch no matter how much or how little. And I am just going to pop in and check out some kits!!!!

Pug!!

I'm so excited you're doing another cardboard house! Best wishes for all the changes you are facing.

Have you considered a virtual school? I went to one for middle and high school cause my mom coudln't teach at that level. K-12 International is an option if your state doesn't offer a public virtual school.
