I FORGOT to explain something! Were you wondering why I turned the egg cups inside out?! The egg carton cups were rounded on the sides but flat on the bottom. At first, when I “massaged” them, I was hoping to round them out. When that didn’t work, I thought to turn them inside out. Turning them inside out also concealed the imprinted little design on the bottom of the egg cup.
thanks! all egg cartons are not created equal, lol, one i had was too stiff to do it, another one from egglands best brand was much more pliable. i thought it was very tacky of your friend Deirdre to charge for her little snips of printables in her Etsy shop especially when you are kind enough to give links to free much nicer printables. her skill does not hold a candle to yours.
Thank you for sharing !! I’m going to have to try the pill bottles to see if I can make that. It’s absolutely adorable 🥰!! I started making some Halloween 🎃 ornaments out of cardboard ❤I had no idea 🤷♀️ I could even do that and they turned out adorable for my Halloween 🎃 homemade tree 🌲!! I’ll attach it on my craft channel it’s called Trends By Jenn
I love this! In 1979 my dad was stationed in Crete with the Army. We cut a big branch for a Christmas tree, leaned it against the wall, and made all our ornaments out of spools, toilet tissue rolls and everything we could get our hands on! Your projects are far more sophisticated than what we could do as kids, but the spirit of your creativity sure evoked those memories of making something from whatever you have!! And loving it!!
I was teaching class on Saturday. Our tree got delivered. The kids were picking up their toys. My daughter said let's put them on the tree! They used hair ribbons and scrunchies, too. When I got home I was blown away how darling it was!! Teddy bears and cars...cute under the tree!! And this is why their dad is more fun than me!!
You are brilliant! I loved all of them. It's important that people still know how to make something from almost nothing, you're keeping this tradition alive. Thank you.
I absolutely lover ALL your videos. You are so clever & as I don't throw anything out & keep it in my kraft stash, will do many of your ideas. So so beautiful & feel so great when I create something myself. Thank you for your inspirations.
Your Shiny Bright match boxes had me at HELLO. (I am not going to be able to sleep I am that excited!) And that baby block...HOW EVER DO YOU COME UP WITH SUCH BRILLIANT IDEAS? 👩🏼🎓
Lovely Sherry! This episode was very nostalgic for me because I remember making ornaments with my mom out of junk and foraged things. My mom died when I was just 21 years old but she filled my childhood with things like this. I believe she is the one that formed me as a Maker/Up-cycler. Thank you for the tender memories. 💜🤟
I am so glad that you enjoyed the video, Lisa! I am so sorry that you lost your mother so young, but you are lucky to have such lovely memories of her. My mother died in a car accident when I was a baby, so sadly, I have no memories of her. My dad remarried and I was raised by a wonderful woman who was my “mom.” She passed away from cancer a few years ago.
There just aren’t enough words to express how darling, creative, unique, fun, memory-connected and affordable ALL these ideas are!!! Seriously!! The baby block idea??? OMGoodness!!!
Oh, thank you so much, V! I’m so glad you liked today’s video! I came up with the baby block idea a few weeks ago, and I couldn’t wait to include it in a video.
I’m on the hunt for baby blocks now! I want to make one for my 4 yr old granddaughter and one for her sister who is, so far, scheduled to arrive November 17!
I was just reminiscing about making paper snowflakes and other Christmas decorations in grade school. I sure hope that children today get to have these sweet experiences, too!
I love all these. Especially the bells made with the pill bottles and egg carton. Something I have a ton of. I’ve been saving my pill bottles to make a lighted garland with them for Christmas. Idk how it will turn out but in my mind it’s beautiful. But I’m sure I’ve got extra to make some bells. I really enjoyed the video. I think using recycled items to craft with is more my favorite than any other. Thanks! ❤️💜💚
I could watch you everyday! I can't wait to try that baby block ornament for some special newcomers to out family. Thank you for your wonderful videos and projects.
I love them all, especially the matchbox shiny bright ornament boxes. I remember that brand from my childhood, and we carefully kept our glass ornaments in those original boxes.
Ohmygosh Sherry these ornaments are all absolutely beautiful! Who would of thought they all started as junk! You are one very gifted lady! Thank you for sharing your God given gifts with us all, you've given me so much inspiration! God bless you and your family abundantly in all things and much love from me too! ❤️🙏🥰😘😊
That "snowball" ornament is beautiful! These are all great ideas. I have something I do to make ornaments with trash. I save the metal ends from canned biscuits or canned crescent rolls. They are the perfect flat, round surface to use as an ornament, and thin enough so that a hole can easily be made in them for a hanger to be placed. Sometimes I paint them, and then I mod podge a vintage looking image inside the part with the small rim. Sometimes, I allow them to rust a bit ,which they do pretty quickly if you wet them and let them sit for a bit, then I mod podge an image inside and spray sealer all over to keep the rusty look. They need to be sealed either way. They turn out some very cute little, simple round ornaments. Almost forgot, I have also painted them and stamped them with a Christmasey image, or used small molds to glue on, then painted. Again, they are a perfect ,flat enough, round surface to place anything on and make a cute ornament. The kind I get, the paper comes right out when I open them,so I just wash the metal discs and use them this way. I've even stuck them on wreaths before, and nobody ever could tell what they once were. So, just a low cost, basically free, ornament idea, and one that can easily be done with kiddos since they don't have sharp edges. Happy crafting!
Crystal, what a fantastic idea! I know exactly what you mean; I have some Pillsbury crescent rolls in my refrigerator that I am going to have to eat this week! 😜
When I first started watching this video I thought the first item you made, the Bell’s was going to be my favorite. I almost started writing to say I love the bells the best, but then I watched the next item being made and I loved that……the next item after that I love that it……it just kept going. Your ideas are amazing and come out beautiful!! YOU ALWAYS inspire me💗😀
I love this so much! Homemade ornaments are the best and they carry our memories through the years. I love reading everyone's memories who shared here in the comments! Here's mine- About 15 years ago, I was at "starting over" point in my life, so was a friend/neighbor. We were both single moms and didn't have extra money to spend on decorations. We challenged each other to spend $5 or less to decorate our trees. She made bright stars from neon-colored plastic straws for her tree. She also visited bars and restaurants to ask for some of those little drink umbrellas for her tree. Her tree was whimsical and bright! I picked up pine cones from my yard and shells at the beach. I attached gold curly ribbon (all I had) with the only glue I had, Liquid Nails! 😂 I added some clear glass angels from Dollar Tree. My tree had a different beauty. It was natural and woodsy beachy. Both our trees were beautiful! We made cookies and hot chocolate and invited the neighborhood children to come see our trees. The children loved it ❤️ I still have those ornaments. I mean, they're put together with Liquid Nails. I'll always have them! 😂
I love that you two know each other. I watch various videos and think, “Wow! She should meet ********. They would make the best of friends.” And....there you two are. I absolutely, positively love your projects and the baby block is my fav. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Brandy! I thought of that idea a few weeks ago at the doctor’s office. The receptionist was showing off pictures of her first grand baby. I’m so glad you like it! 😊
When I think of how many of those medicine bottles I've thrown away, I could have bells all over my house! Of course it takes your creative mind to think of turning them into bells, I never would have come up with that. Thank you, Sherry, for sharing your beautiful creations.
These are lovely, the mushrooms are definitely happening. I love the tree slices with the words too. I made many shapes with twigs one year (my all hygge Christmas 😊) and some of them came out looking a bit Blair witch project according to my sons. The bits of decor in the middle was perfect, I’ll do that next time.
You do come up with the most unique ideas 🙂 I really liked the round wood with the paper strips, also with you tearing them it looks like snow dripping at the bottom. The bell was so pretty. The mushrooms are darling. Thank you 🍁
Oh Sherry, what a wonderful surprise for you and Deidre to do a collaboration! I love Deidre’s channel as well as yours. Sherry, all of these ideas are just wonderful! But my favorite is absolutely the baby block ornaments. Since I have become a grandparent this year, I will be making lots of ornaments for our little bundle of joy! Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you, Lee! I, too, love Deidre’s channel. Congratulations on becoming a grandparent! I am so ready for grandchildren, but my boys don’t seem to be in a hurry to mark this happen! 😜
All projects absolutely adorable, as always, very clever and creative. My faves were the pill bottle bells and the baby block - what a beautiful, one of a kind memory that little block is. TFS
Thank you, Annie! 😊 Funny thing-I came up with the baby block idea at the doctor’s office (of all places)! The receptionist was showing me pictures of her first grand baby!
These projects were wonderful Sherry! The 'bells' looked real and very old. The snowman made out of three lids was adorable. The ornament made out of the larger lid was very pretty. The match boxes were too cute. So, so clever.
The baby block ornament at the very end is by far my favorite Christmas project I've seen you create this year and last year, too. I'm going to save this idea now. Then I'm going on a hunt for wood blocks.
Growing up in my family we learn to decorate our Christmas 🎄 with what we had I’m from Mexico 🇲🇽 up until 13 years old I leave in Mexico I’m now 72 years young ,enjoying your beautiful show ,which by the way I had made many of your crafts today I pick Christmas 🎄 and the mushrooms 🍄 for my gifts to my family in thanksgiving.thanks for sharing 🙏🏼😍
I love the bird houses. They are darling and would look nice on anyone's tree !! The music paper trees are just adorable. They will look nice on a tree or as a garland ! I also love the twig snowflakes. They are darling.
These ornaments are terrific. I’m definitely going to make the bells and I think the leather trees would look adorable with letter beads hung across them like garland. Thank you Sherry
Love your “junk” ornaments! After each one I would think, that’s the one I like best! Brought back memories of making ornaments through the years! Believe it or not, I still have dried milkweed Santa’s after twenty years! Blessed and safe days!
Oh, thank you, Debra! I came up with that baby block idea while sitting in the doctor’s office (of all places) a few weeks ago! I couldn’t wait to try it out. I’m so glad you liked it!! 😊
Ann here Sherry. You amaze me with simple unique diy's. I know now I can use all our medicine bottles. I love the bird cage out of sticks in your yard. How brilliant. Now these wood rounds are adorable.
I love everything small so I squealed when I saw the shiny bright match boxes. I'm going to fill mine with small shiny beads! Thanks for the great ideas. 🤯💝
Oh, thank you, Jean! 😊 I am so glad you enjoyed the bells. Thank you so much for the Super Thanks-that is so very kind of you! I will use this special gift to buy craft supplies (because a girl can never have enough)!
As if you could get any better?!? What a fun surprise to wake up to this morning!! I absolutely love watching both of you and have used many of your ideas for myself! I cannot pick as favorite as all the ideas are so very good!! Loved this so very much!
Thank you, Cynthia! I love making these “junk” videos. It is such a challenge to see what can be done with something that otherwise would have gone in the trash.
In the antique store where my booth is located, some vendors sell boxes of Shiny Brite ornaments in their original boxes for $50!!! And, people will pay that much!
Sherry, they all turned out fabulous !!! I LOVE to make homemade Christmas ornaments !!! Years ago, my family and friends would have an ornament swap, and the ornaments had to be homemade, it was so much fun seeing what people could come up with.🎄🎄
These are absolutely delightful! This brings back sweet memories of my mum-the most resourceful woman I ever knew. She has been gone 5 years now, but her lessons to me live on in me and in the 4-H kids with whom I share them. 💝
Wow wow wow! I love these things! I have collected pill bottles forever. I loved the bells and all the other ornaments you created. I’d love to see more! Thanks for sharing your ideas and teaching us how to do them. ❤️❤️❤️
Good afternoon, Sherry ! Yay! Can not wait to see your Christmas diy treasures! I'll be sure to visit Deidra's channel, too! Something to watch as I recover from a terrible cold. Thank you for sharing! 🎄🎄🎄🎄
I couldn’t agree more!! I’m fed up with the regurgitation of Dollar Tree remakes. At first it was fun to see how creative folks were but now they are tearing apart stuff to remake it into something not even as nice as what they tore apart to begin with! These crafts were adorable and very creative, yours and your collaborator friends both!! Great collab, thanks so much!!! THIS was fun to watch!
How fun to see you and Deidre together! I hope we see more of you two collaborating. I think it is wonderful that so many of you are a community. Sherry, you are something. I can't even pick a favorite this week. I second a previous comment, I could watch you everyday!
Oh my gosh woman! Lol. I’m sitting here shaking my head and laughing in amazement at you! You just blow my mind every single time with your creativity!! You don’t just blow my mind with one project but with another and another and another!! Lol! You have been truly been blessed with a talent that’s for sure!! Thank you for sharing your talents and creativity with us!!! Oh yeah, loved this collab! Great idea
My jaw dropped with the things you used to make these very creative projects. Holy moly they came out fantastic. I will be making the bells. Thanks for posting
Beautiful ornaments you is sou gorgeous , thank you very much to share this incredible, D I Y Christmas ornaments . Thank you very much for ideas inspiration 🥰
U R AMAZING!!!! I cant BELIEVE what u can come up with....Those Bells ....WOW! I was sitting on my couch watching and was thinking about the pill bottles that i have on hand and saved because they would come in handy one day and was wondering what i could make with them and i also have an egg carton that i saved because i just knew it would come in handy one day....well yep! Thanks to u the day has come!!!
I've done it again, and commented too soon. Those mushrooms are adorable,Sherry! Love those! I've got to learn to watch them all before commenting,since I know they'll all be great.
There is a new baby in the family I'm going to make the baby block for. What a wonderful idea. I'm going to try and add a photo too. Thanks for the wonderful idea.
Those blocks are FANTASTIC! What a wonderful idea that was! And the bells are impressive. They look 100% like the inspiration photos. Thank you so much for sharing these with us!

everything is awesome but I love the bells and the mushrooms especially.
I do appreciate your attention to detail (even with junk). One man's trash is another's treasure!

Oh, thank you, Cinder! 😊
Yes !!! It’s so easy to put two store bought items together and call it a diy , that’s why I love Sherry ‘s talent ❤❤❤❤❤
I absolutely lover ALL your videos. You are so clever & as I don't throw anything out & keep it in my kraft stash, will do many of your ideas. So so beautiful & feel so great when I create something myself. Thank you for your inspirations.

Wow nice comment you must be a thoughtful person to drop a wonderful comment on this one i hope you are safe and sound in health?
Everything is fantastic. The baby block is genius.
There just aren’t enough words to express how darling, creative, unique, fun, memory-connected and affordable ALL these ideas are!!! Seriously!! The baby block idea??? OMGoodness!!!

Baby Ophelia did arrive on November 17!
Love the nostalgia! Oh, how I long for that wholesomeness...
I was just reminiscing about making paper snowflakes and other Christmas decorations in grade school. I sure hope that children today get to have these sweet experiences, too!

We have a little friend due to arrive Dec. 14. I can’t wait to get his birth information so I can make an ornament!
I love them all, especially the matchbox shiny bright ornament boxes. I remember that brand from my childhood, and we carefully kept our glass ornaments in those original boxes.
Thank you, Linda! At the antique store where I have a booth, Shiny Brite ornaments in the original box can sell for as much as $50!!!
Sherry your "brass" bells were GENIUS! As always, I enjoy HOW your mind works and your creativity brings your ideas to life-TFS :D
Thank you, C.J.! I’m so glad you liked the bells! 😊
What a great video!! I love all of these amazing and unique crafts, the music, and the tone of the video. It was time well spent! Many blessings.
Ohmygosh Sherry these ornaments are all absolutely beautiful! Who would of thought they all started as junk! You are one very gifted lady!

Omg, I do the same!
Sheri, My favorite is the mushroom's love them, then the block's, can't wait to do these!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

The ornaments are all great & will be doing them with my Grandkids. We love doing crafts together.
I love the pill bottle bells! It just goes to show you that you can make beautiful ornaments from junk. I love both of your channels.
Thank you so much, Dawn! 😊
Love these. I've had a woodland & vintage tree for years. My favorite is the mini shiny brite boxes. So darling. 🥰🎄🐦💕
Loved the block with baby info - that is a great gift to give new parents!
My two favorite DIY'ers in one video!! Doesn't get much better than that!!
Thank you, Lisa! 😊

I so look forward to your videos. Your creativity seems to have no bounds!! My favorite this week (really hard to choose just one) is the bells! TFS
Thank you so much, sweet Mary! 😊
My favorites are the brass bells and the bird cages but I loved them all (as usual!). So fun and inspiring!
Thank you, Carol! 😊
You always make the most ordinary look extraordinary. I think the twig snowflake is my favorite!
I love that you two know each other. I watch various videos and think, “Wow! She should meet ********. They would make the best of friends.” And....there you two are. I absolutely, positively love your projects and the baby block is my fav. Thanks for sharing!
I absolutely LOVE the baby block. I have a new granddaughter so I plan to make one for her. I always love how creative you are.
Thank you, Brandy! I thought of that idea a few weeks ago at the doctor’s office. The receptionist was showing off pictures of her first grand baby. I’m so glad you like it! 😊
When I think of how many of those medicine bottles I've thrown away, I could have bells all over my house! Of course it takes your creative mind to think of turning them into bells, I never would have come up with that. Thank you, Sherry, for sharing your beautiful creations.
You’re hilarious-bells all over the house!🤣 I’ll have to come up with another idea for them. You might not want bells up all year long! 😜
These are lovely, the mushrooms are definitely happening. I love the tree slices with the words too. I made many shapes with twigs one year (my all hygge Christmas 😊) and some of them came out looking a bit Blair witch project according to my sons. The bits of decor in the middle was perfect, I’ll do that next time.
You do come up with the most unique ideas 🙂 I really liked the round wood with the paper strips, also with you tearing them it looks like snow dripping at the bottom. The bell was so pretty. The mushrooms are darling. Thank you 🍁
A Collaboration made in heaven! Particularly love the baby's first ornament.
Thank you, Beth! 😊
I love this! If you had twice as many lids you could make the snowmen double sided!
That’s a great idea, Krickette! 🥰
Just amazing how real those bells look! Love this video!
Oh Sherry, what a wonderful surprise for you and Deidre to do a collaboration! I love Deidre’s channel as well as yours. Sherry, all of these ideas are just wonderful! But my favorite is absolutely the baby block ornaments. Since I have become a grandparent this year, I will be making lots of ornaments for our little bundle of joy! Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you, Lee! I, too, love Deidre’s channel. Congratulations on becoming a grandparent! I am so ready for grandchildren, but my boys don’t seem to be in a hurry to mark this happen! 😜
Oh my!!! I love all of the ornaments!! You're imagination is incredible!! You're a joy to watch every week!
Thank you, Mary! I really appreciate those kind words! 😊
Sherry, I can't believe how amazing those pill bottle bells look! No one would ever guess.
Omg ladies! Sheri and Deidre together, my perfect duet. What a treat. 💕
Keep shining on! Thank you so much for your continued Inspiration ladies. 🌞
You are so welcome! Thank you for those kind words, Elise! 😊
Two absolutely talented ladies
All projects absolutely adorable, as always, very clever and creative. My faves were the pill bottle bells and the baby block - what a beautiful, one of a kind memory that little block is. TFS
Thank you, Annie! 😊 Funny thing-I came up with the baby block idea at the doctor’s office (of all places)! The receptionist was showing me pictures of her first grand baby!
I can’t believe how pretty you made these! Love it!
These projects were wonderful Sherry! The 'bells' looked real and very old. The snowman made out of three lids was adorable. The ornament made out of the larger lid was very pretty. The match boxes were too cute. So, so clever.
Those ornaments turned out beautiful I can't wait to see what Deidre shows us.
The baby block ornament at the very end is by far my favorite Christmas project I've seen you create this year and last year, too. I'm going to save this idea now. Then I'm going on a hunt for wood blocks.
Growing up in my family we learn to decorate our Christmas 🎄 with what we had I’m from Mexico 🇲🇽 up until 13 years old I leave in Mexico I’m now 72 years young ,enjoying your beautiful show ,which by the way I had made many of your crafts today I pick Christmas 🎄 and the mushrooms 🍄 for my gifts to my family in thanksgiving.thanks for sharing 🙏🏼😍
I love the bird houses. They are darling and would look nice on anyone's tree !!
The music paper trees are just adorable. They will look nice on a tree or as a garland !
I also love the twig snowflakes. They are darling.
You two make me smile! I'm so happy you share your talents with us!
These ornaments are terrific. I’m definitely going to make the bells and I think the leather trees would look adorable with letter beads hung across them like garland. Thank you Sherry
The white paint really makes the details of the church really pop! Really like the way you make multiple hang tags.
I loved all these projects!! Looking forward to turning trash into Christmas ornaments.😊💕
The birdcage is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your inspiration! 😍
Two of my favorite ladies! Faithful follower of both of you!!! How fun is this!!!
awesome Crafters I watch both of your videos Faithfully
Love your “junk” ornaments! After each one I would think, that’s the one I like best! Brought back memories of making ornaments through the years! Believe it or not, I still have dried milkweed Santa’s after twenty years! Blessed and safe days!
Thank you, Alice! That is amazing that those milkweed Santa’s have held up for so long!
Just adorable. I don't know if I'd call it junk😍, more like found objects. They are so sweet. TFS. Can't wait to watch Deidre's video.
Those bells!!! I wish I would have seen the baby block idea years ago, so adorable! Thank you for all of your great ideas and inspiration Sherry.
Oh, thank you, Debra! I came up with that baby block idea while sitting in the doctor’s office (of all places) a few weeks ago! I couldn’t wait to try it out. I’m so glad you liked it!! 😊
Ann here Sherry. You amaze me with simple unique diy's. I know now I can use all our medicine bottles. I love the bird cage out of sticks in your yard. How brilliant. Now these wood rounds are adorable.
I love the mushrooms, I think they are very whimsical! And I also love the “woodsy” vintage birdcages! Just awesome, everything!
Thank you, Sarah! 😊
I love everything small so I squealed when I saw the shiny bright match boxes. I'm going to fill mine with small shiny beads! Thanks for the great ideas. 🤯💝
Oh, Celeste! Putting little shiny beads inside is a brilliant idea! Love love love it!
I'm also going to try the lid snowmen, but with small, medium and large size lids.☃️. Thanks for firing up my imagination.
Thanks! I just love the bell idea!! Thank you for making my days just a little more creative!
Oh, thank you, Jean! 😊 I am so glad you enjoyed the bells. Thank you so much for the Super Thanks-that is so very kind of you! I will use this special gift to buy craft supplies (because a girl can never have enough)!
Love all your diys!!!😘
Thank you, Carolyn! 😊
As if you could get any better?!? What a fun surprise to wake up to this morning!! I absolutely love watching both of you and have used many of your ideas for myself! I cannot pick as favorite as all the ideas are so very good!! Loved this so very much!
I'm amazed at your creativity and how great everything turned out! Such inspiring ways to keep stuff out of the trash!
Thank you, Cynthia! I love making these “junk” videos. It is such a challenge to see what can be done with something that otherwise would have gone in the trash.
I love the vintage matchbox ornaments box!! We used to have those brands for our Christmas trees!! 💜
In the antique store where my booth is located, some vendors sell boxes of Shiny Brite ornaments in their original boxes for $50!!! And, people will pay that much!
Sherry, they all turned out fabulous !!! I LOVE to make homemade Christmas ornaments !!! Years ago, my family and friends would have an ornament swap, and the ornaments had to be homemade, it was so much fun seeing what people could come up with.🎄🎄
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 YES YES YES!!! The ABSOLUTE best creators and crafters collaborating!!!
These are absolutely delightful!
This brings back sweet memories of my mum-the most resourceful woman I ever knew. She has been gone 5 years now, but her lessons to me live on in me and in the 4-H kids with whom I share them. 💝
Thank you! I sure hope I can share some ideas that you can use with your 4H kids!😀
Darling, Darling, Darling Projects!!! Always so clever!
I’m fascinated. It is so relaxing and uplifting to watch you create.❤
Oh my goodness Sherry, each ornament is so precious !!!! I love the mushrooms and the bird cages !! Hope you have a great week !
Your attention to detail is second to none! I love each of your projects!
Sherry, the pill bottle bells are wonderful...they look so much like the metal ones. It is amazing what a little creativity and hot glue can do.
Thank you, Gale!
Wow wow wow! I love these things! I have collected pill bottles forever. I loved the bells and all the other ornaments you created. I’d love to see more! Thanks for sharing your ideas and teaching us how to do them. ❤️❤️❤️
You are so welcome, Cathy! I will see if I can come with another idea for those pill bottles. You probably don’t want bells out all year around!
Good afternoon, Sherry ! Yay! Can not wait to see your Christmas diy treasures! I'll be sure to visit Deidra's channel, too! Something to watch as I recover from a terrible cold. Thank you for sharing! 🎄🎄🎄🎄
Good afternoon, Bobbie! The weather is crazy. It is going to be in the 70’s this week, and down in the 30’s this weekend! Prime cold and flu season!
These are incredibly creative ornaments. While they were clever DIYS, my favorite of all was the bells made from pill bottles. Just a genius idea. ❤
I love your content,you are really creating ,not just glueing together Dollar tree merch and calling it crafting .You really inspire me
What a lovely compliment, Christine! Thank you! 😊
I couldn’t agree more!! I’m fed up with the regurgitation of Dollar Tree remakes. At first it was fun to see how creative folks were but now they are tearing apart stuff to remake it into something not even as nice as what they tore apart to begin with! These crafts were adorable and very creative, yours and your collaborator friends both!! Great collab, thanks so much!!! THIS was fun to watch!
How fun to see you and Deidre together! I hope we see more of you two collaborating. I think it is wonderful that so many of you are a community. Sherry, you are something. I can't even pick a favorite this week. I second a previous comment, I could watch you everyday!
Oh my gosh woman! Lol. I’m sitting here shaking my head and laughing in amazement at you! You just blow my mind every single time with your creativity!! You don’t just blow my mind with one project but with another and another and another!! Lol! You have been truly been blessed with a talent that’s for sure!! Thank you for sharing your talents and creativity with us!!! Oh yeah, loved this collab! Great idea

There is a new baby in the family I'm going to make the baby block for. What a wonderful idea. I'm going to try and add a photo too. Thanks for the wonderful idea.
