Thanks for the quote of the year - "Hold my scissors." I love how each of your gift ideas isn't just an item, it's a memory to treasure. Thanks for the inspiration!
Bonsoir Alisa, je vous regarde depuis la France et suis ravie d’avoir des sous-titres 😅 mille mercis pour toutes vos belles idées et créations. Je vais m’en inspirer avec plaisir. Je vous suis depuis pas mal de temps, suis abonnée, mais ne vous ai jamais laissé de commentaire 🤭J’aime beaucoup vos vidéos et votre bienveillance est un véritable atout. Je vous souhaite beaucoup de succès et de bonheur. Amitiés de France 💕
I started making a crochet ornament to add to gifts for my direct family. Everyone gets the same one, after a few years they’ll have a nice collection! So far: a snowflake, a Christmas tree and this year a snowman!
You are a precious Santa's elf. Thank you, Thank you! Your daughter's best friend is so blessed to have your family in her life. What a joy to share. My college daughter would wear at her age!
Beautiful video Alisa. The hooded scarf is soo cute. I am so happy you like the dino fabric. Hoodie you made is beautiful. Can't wait to hear about Artemis's and her friend reaction to matching outfits
I wear basically the same colours as the ones your hubby likes, so to me the burnt sage of the sweatshirt is 10/10 🤌🏻🌿 Also, then you can wear it outside of the festive season! I love a useful gift 😍
I am so glad that I found your channel! Your creations truly are amazing and your enthusiasm is contagious! Thanks so much for sharing your videos! Have a blessed day!
First time seeing one of your videos. I heartily agree with the comments regarding your creativity and kindness and all the good things said about you! ❤
I have a recipe for homemade natural deodorant! Mix equal parts melted coconut oil, baking soda, and arrowroot powder OR cornstarch (arrowroot is more effective), and several drops fragrance oil, then pack into dispensers when firm enough. I make this for my husband and myself and it's all we use. Bulk Apothecary sells a coconut oil that has a higher melting point of 92 degrees. Most melts at 76 degrees - if that's all you can find, just keep it in the fridge (I keep the extra there), or try adding a bit more of the dry ingredients to stiffen it up. It takes a while for your body to adjust to it, and the old deodorant to all be gone from your underarms. And ladies, to shave, just get your underarms wet any time of day. No need to soap up because they won't be sticky at all. Plus you won't have that stiffness in your shirts from commercial deodorant. Natural is way better. Merry Christmas, everyone.
I make the baking soda version, and find it works great. Summer definitely requires fridge storage and a bit more of the dry ingredients. I found the orange oil I used created oil stains on my shirts sometimes, so that's something to be aware of might happen. I've seen a number of suggestions to put it on at night, instead if the morning, and that works quite well, and reduces possible clothing transfer if you wear nicer things - as opposed to "work" clothes.
@@lynn858Check out the 92 degree (melting point) coconut oil offered by Bulk Apothecary. I find I don't have to refrigerate it. Also, I find this deodorant washes out, whereas the store bought versions make the underarms stiff. It sometimes helps to spritz underarms with a vinegar solution before washing, if you get oil stains or that odor synthetics develop - which I find has lessened dramatically since I stopped using commercial deodorant. And wow how easy it is to shave the pits! Cheers! Merry Christmas!
Yesssss, here's the Members Extra - th-cam.com/video/nHOvvsteqGg/w-d-xo.html and... I think you can get away by making the same size for all of them (I think) :)
Eh....I think I had a few of such instances over the years... And I was pretty upset, but I decided to bounce back from it for my own sake. My mom says: "if you don't throw your own party - no one else will". But I totally understand that we are all different and my hope that my excitement and joy can rub off on others :)
I appreciate your thoughtfulness in sharing your ideas with us and your sweet personality. Can you please tell me where you found the sage French terry? It's a great color for my husband, too.
And if anyone is less than pleased with the fact that you gave them a "homemade" or up-cycled gift - feel free to give them nothing next year. :) Or, a card noting the donation (financial or homemade) to the charity of your choosing. Gifts should be given to whom you wish, and when you feel like giving them, and never because you "should". It's companies that profit off "should". Gift for the joy of it.
My daughter would love that hat/scarf/mittens thing. 😊. Do you think the small, flat zipper pouch would hold a travel size packet of Kleenex? Like the little plastic ones that you can put in your purse?
Hmmm... not sure... It has been a while since I bought any kleenex, but I do give dimensions in the video where I make the pouches (and you can choose your size), so you can compare that with the dimensions of the kleenex container.
Thank you for all of your amazing ideas and helpful tips. How did you add the "Handmade" label to the darling hoodie? It looks like it's printed on the fabric. Thank you in advance for your answer.
I am so glad you are enjoying these videos :) about the label - that's the new kind I tried. Take a look at episode 4 in this series (link in the description of this video) - I talk about and show how these labels works and how they look and how to get them on there.
Hello there, I found mine in the Cricut Design space, but if you want to make your by hand - just google it, I am sure you will find plenty of templates. you can also simply make your own, I have done that before - very easy! :)
@@maliniebasdeo6587 I forgot to mention it in the video, but a few years ago if I spotted a little box I liked - let's say someone gave me candies or smth else in a nice little box - I would carefully take it apart at the seams and then copy the "pattern" and cut it out of my own paper and glue it back together :)
I couldn’t find the quote for “ king of Fluffies allegably”🎉 can you tell me more? I have a six year old granddaughter, and it sounds like it might be a funny TH-cam, or some thing that I could share with her…
It is a combination of two quotes :) That's how my daughter says it, lol :) On Dinsey (at least here, in the USA) you can find "Bluey" cartoon, it is a very kind hearted cartoon, with some good stories and ideas for family time, I hope you enjoy it!
Argufuffly sew! Ha! Ha! And we know you speak and write in several languages fluently putting us all to shame. LOL! We're enjoying your channel so much!
Sorry if I seem rude, but is '(allegably)' part of the quote, and supposed to be spelled like that, meaning allegedly? Sorry if it's a word there, it isn't used in the U.K....I don't think!
@@mog-gyveroneill2500 no worries at all :) it is like an inside joke. I did another T0shirt that says "ew, David..." and it might seem weird, but for those who know - they know, lol :D
Actually, it is "allegably" in the quote :) that's the point, it was said by a little girl that heard this word for the first time so she repeated the word incorrectly, from a cartoon that we like.

Hahaha "Hold my scissors!"

So many wonderful ideas. I'm sharing this with my daughter and daughters of my heart. Thank you for sharing your creativity with me. 🎶💖💐
Thank you for compiling a variety of crafts into this one video, absolutely love gifting in ALL the crafty ways!
Beautiful video Alisa.
The hooded scarf is soo cute.

Such great ideas!! I love the story of how the hooded scarf came to be hehe 🥰🥰🥰
It is supposed to be "allegably" :) it is not a mistake :) but I thank you for looking out for me. It is a line from a cartoon that we like :)
Best show ever! I've not met a child or adult who hasn't loved it. 💙🐶

@@rds1717thank you!!!❤
Beautiful ideas! I'm doing some tea towels this year. Oh my word love the conversation about the hoddie scarf ❤
Right? :) I just need to make sure that she does not discover that this is a great way how to make mommy do things, lol :)
I LOVE your daughter's hat, scarf, mitten combo! I think I'll make myself one. 🙂 All the ideas are great.
Awesome gift ideas. I can see a child putting their little treasures in those mittens also.

😚 captivating video, you certainly get me in the mood for sewing. Thanks Alisa
Brilliant!
Hold my scissors ✂️❣️
I am so excited for the hood/scarf tutorial! I can't wait to make one for my 9 year old.
Wish you had a tv show, you’re great!
I really enjoyed watching this video, thank you xx
