HI Mary, a little helpful advise for you regarding soaking your floral foam. Fill the sink or bowl with water, then gentle leave the foam on top and let it soak on its own, it will start to fall to the bottom when it is fully saturated, Do not force it under the water or run the tap on it as this causes airlocks and you will always end up with a dry unsaturated area in the middle of the block. It only takes 15/20 minutes to soak a full block this way. If your foam is old it is more difficult to get it to take up water. Linda (retired florist)
You, Mary are so creative and inspiring! Your channel is definitely one of my favorites! I currently have a lot of primm decor but because I love your house so much I'm starting to add more and more white and it's so refreshing! There is nothing prettier than white and wood! 🤍🤎 Thank you!!!
Your precious kitty just tickles me! He wants to be wherever you are and seems like he wants to help you do everything...if only he had opposable thumbs! Great video...will start working on gifts now for December 2020! Thank you!
Hello lovely lady. I just want to say I stumbled across your channel a couple of months ago. YOU ARE AMAZING. As is the content of your videos. I am a disabled lady here in the UK and am a lover of all things crafty,sewing,crochet. I can relate to so many of your videos. Thank you for inviting us into your world. Sooo looking forward to your next videos. Happy Christmas to you all. Much love Jackie in the UK 🇬🇧 😘 xxx
All projects looked great and seem very do-able. I am a total pushover for snow men and so the sock- and-rice snowman will be the one I do! Thank you for sharing your creativity! !!
I Love these ideas, will definitely try lots of them! Just a quick tip from my days as a florist-- to soak oasis completely without any dry air pockets inside, fill the sink with water, float oasis on top and let it sink naturally. It only takes a few minutes, when it has submerged itself it's ready to work with. Running the tap on it and covering the outside with water before it has time to sink traps air inside so no matter how long you soak it the middle stays dry. I hope this info saves you time and helps your flowers to live longer in future:) thanks for the great videos!
Cute ideas! I especially like the paper trees and stars. I'm a scrapbooker and card maker so I have tons of paper! Good projects to make with children, too.
I absolutely love your wreath and the paper cone trees. I had no idea the trick to make a cone was to cut out a wedge in a circle. Thank you so much for sharing.
Merry Christmas Mary. I love your videos so much. I look so forward to each Wednesday to see them too. I love what you do and who you are. You are a blessing to my family and I.
Amazing job as usual. Cannot tell you how much I look forward to your videos. I wanted share a tip I learned from a florist years ago. If you are using floral foam the take a bowl of water and let it float. It will slowly soak in the water and sink. When it get fully submerged on its own then you know that the inside does not have any dry spots. Cannot push it down into the water. I noticed there were a few dry spots on yours. Probably does not matter so much for boxwood but can make a difference for flowers. Thank you for sharing these lovely projects.
I've been watching your videos for awhile and really enjoy your beautiful white cottage home. I'm absolutely in love with the beautiful clean, farmhouse cottage style! I haven't seen anything in your home that I don't like, it's just gorgeous and I wish I had your amazing talent. I loved these adorable DIYs you did in this video. So cute! Hugs from Texas!
Mary, you are gifted in so many ways. Thank you so much for your videos and ideas. I like them all, but my favorite is the ☃️ Thank you so much for the ideas. I love this season ❄️
Mary, I love the stars. I was following your folds exactly (I thought) but could not get a star. Finally I realized I was watching the process upside down through the camera angle and when I began placing every open edge and fold accurately to my body as they are to you, I got a beautiful star. I liked it so much I used it in Children's Church as an activity connecting to the Bethlehem star. Thanks for sharing!
What great, frugal decorating ideas! That family frame idea is amazing! Loved the light through each frame piece! Each Christmas I allow my four grandsons to make a project to take home and you’ve given me so many to choose from! Thank you for the inspiration and for the lovely Christmas music accompanying the videos! 🎄✨🌟
Mary you surprise us with your creativity! I just love the cute items you create! The more I follow your channel, the more I am in love with! 🤗🤗🤗👌👌👌⛄🎄⛄🎄🎁
These are all just so adorable and special. The boxwood tree 😘😘😘. The music stars... I want to make and use in wreaths and garland . Love the eucalyptus wreath ... really beautiful and simple. 💚. Oh my the lantern , just wonderful. Everything ❤️💚😍
Just recently found your channel, so I'm doing a White Cottage Co. marathon (we're still in shelter in place where I live so your channel has been so helpful in keeping my mind off of everything going on now with the virus). I know it's only May but I can't wait to try some of these. Thank you!
Dear Mary. May this Christmas season brings you Joy, Health and Happiness. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thanks for sharing all your good work. Your'e amazing. xx
Your video clips have never disappointed us. I love all your ideas of Christmas decoration, simple but unique, no needs to depend on spending lots of money. Thoughts and ideas, doing it by ourselves are much more precious. Thank you so much for always sharing so much joy of life with us. By the way, the cat is so cute, he/she is your best audience and companion, his presence always adds lots of fun to your video.
I certainly enjoyed all DIY's you shared; they are soooo cute! I have completed all my decorating but will make some of the trees, stars and a snowman this week. You are very talented. God bless.
Mary you amaze me.....you can do so many adorable decor & signs. It’s so neat to see it all done on a budget, you have so much talent. Thank You for sharing ❤️🎄💚🎄❤️🎄💚 Merry Christmas 🎄
All the boxes. Pretty ✅ Cute ✅ Adorable ✅
