THANK YOU for the beautiful cotton field at the end of the video. My Daddy was a cotton farmer. At the end of Summer, I always think of those beautiful fields and the man who worked so hard to provide for his family by growing and picking cotton. God Bless You for this! ❤️
Hello Teresa‼️ I want to let you know that I have to try painting a few glassware items, as you have done. I have been trying to find pink Christmas glassware of various types. You gave this great idea of spray painting some items that I already have on hand. I have always been leary of spray painting on glass. I now have the confidence to do so, thanks to you. I bought a 4-5 ft "pink flocked Christmas tree at an antique store for $20. It came with a beautiful skirt. I want to maybe dress it up and put it in the dining room, this year. I have some pretty pink bowls, plates, etc. Now I need to find my stash of Christmas mugs, knickknacks, and maybe some candlesticks to paint. I'm really excited to see the outcome.😮 You are my favorite crafter because I love how you transform unique items into Shabby Chic or French country decor.❣️ Many thanks for sharing your talents with all of us. Anxiously awaiting the next video ‼️🫶
my sister is one of those people who doesn't need anything but loves christmas. I am going to try decoupaging something like the letter holder for her.
Thank you Sparky...calling you Sparky cause you "spark" my creative juices. Love how you used the Fast Cast resin to cover up an imperfection. Thank you for sharing all you do.
Hi Teresa. I haven't commented before but I just had to thank you for your videos❣️ Your creativity is limitless dear lady. I love your sweet demeanor and soothing voice. Blessings from Texas. ❤
You can use old Christmas cards too for inserting in the frames. I have saved every Christmas card that my husband and I have received for the last 32 years! I enjoyed all your projects.
Teresa, your creativity and imagination are just amazing. LOVE you and your channel. Keep those wonderful videos coming, I love every one of them!! Blessings😇
Just found your you tube. Seeing the field of cotton brought back memories. In our family were a lot of cotton pickers. I went to school through the week then on Saturday we picked with our dad. Then we got to go to town. My dad would give us a dollar. Back then I could buy several things for that $. I don't miss it. We were poor an would do jobs we didn't like to do make a dollar.
Wow! So many wonderful ideas. I love what you did with the envelope and the stool and everything. You really have such a beautiful ideas, especially for a shabby chic rustic Christmas. Thanks for sharing. Hope you have a beautiful week!😊
Teresa these Diy's are stunning I love the white in most of these projects I have all three transfer books this year I told my husband I won't be throwing away the covers of these beautiful transfers you be silly after spending that much money on each book use everything you can. One of my favorite was that box that you use the Santa Claus transfer on plus the pitcher with those beautiful flowers I can't wait to find something to use that one on. You and Ben have a wonderful week sending you both lots of love your way.
Hi Teresa. Beautiful decor; as always. I have a bag full of red jingle bells. You gave me an idea with having them tied around a vase. Guess I'll be painting tomorrow. Have a blessed day.
Teresa, I loved all your beautiful DIY’s. Thanks for all your ideas and ways to flips and change an ordinary piece of items at a thrift store of rummage or garage sale and make it have beauty and a new life in today’s society. The poor stool dedicated his legs and was reborn to a new life and age to overcome all the hardships he had been. Now, he will “RISE UP” and help any and all the others who need assistance: plants, vases, pictures, books, dishes, etc… The legs and cross bars can be used as peduncles, framing, trunks for Christmas or any tree, etc… So sorry for such a long comment. My husband’s family lives in the Mississippi Delta. Family reunion is always the first weekend of November. All you see when you go up there is a sea of cotton. The first time I went I was so intrigued. I had seen fields of cotton before, but not miles upon miles of cotton. You would also see bales of cotton were they had started the harvest. Sometimes the harvest would be completed. It always depended on the weather. There had also changed how the bales were covered. My first trip, the bales had no covering. About ten years they had a cheese cloth textured plastic material that was stretched over the bales with a number spray painted on it. Several years later and to date, they put a solid white plastic just like what is now put on big hay bales and they are spray painted a number. When we were on our way back to Laurel, Mississippi, a few times we would stop on side of the were a firmed had been harvested and cut a few stalks of cotton. I put them in a vase on my mantle. You can not get dust off of a cotton bole, even though, I had a house keeper that came every week and my a/c filter was changed monthly. We did live on a farm and a dirt road. That is life for you. You can’t dust cotton. As I has gotten a little more knowledgeable about crafting, I could have sprayed the boles of cotton with hairspray and it might have helped stiffen the boles of cotton and the dust could have shaken of and wiped of gently with a cloth. What do you think? Reunion is coming up in November. I don’t know if I will attend. My husband and in-laws passed away five years ago and it is just me and my son and 2 grandchildren here in Laurel. My health is not the best. It is a 4 hour drive. It reunion starts Friday night through Sunday morning breakfast. Will need hotel rooms. The grandkids are 2- little girl and the little boy will be 1- on November 4th, which is that Saturday of the reunion. I doubt we will go. Mom stated little man walked a few steps today, but he didn’t walk by himself again. I am pretty sure; he will be up and walking before his first birthday. Amazing, he has achieved and developed in areas quicker than his sister. She is not developmentally delayed or anything like that; she was on point or above on others. It’s amazing that these babies are doing so well with their developmental skills. I have a friend and her grandson was walking at 9 months old. Peanut May have been, if I had gotten his walker sooner, but I am on a limited income.
Lots of great upcycles! There's also nothing like Alabama farm scenery. I was born in Geneva, Al. ( Dad was there just for temp. job right out of college (Auburn). A lot of my family live in different parts of Alabama.
We have no cotton fields in Idaho. I am surround by Agriculture. We are harvesting Idaho Potatoes and sugar beets. Cutting down the stool is a fabulous idea. AND using the graphics from the IOD transfer books, what a great idea. ❤❤ You definitely boost my inspiration and motivation. Thank You. Hope you have a happy weekend.
I live surrounded by cotton fields also and Harvest time is in progress. So glad the heat has relented. I couldn't tell you how many items I've passed up at the thrift store because they were such hideous colors. Your simple solution to spray paint them is genius! TFS
Since I recently started watching your videos, Ive started going to my local Savers which is the name of Our goodwill store near me. I can’t tell you how excited I get when I’m there, I love looking at all the things that time Has forgotten and all the new ideas I have now since subscribing to your channel. You have such an amazing Talent for taking items that most people would throw away and making something wonderful out of them.❤ Thank You! Ps, love all your videos 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Hey Teresa. I’ve been watching you for a couple years and just realized I wasn’t subscribed. I sure fixed that. I’ve never used transfers and stuff it hasn’t been my style but I’m really starting to love it from watching you and Julie over at Julie’s designs and signs. Where is your beautiful greenery that you style with from? It’s so green.. lol! Thanks for all the inspiration!
Thank you for your beautiful video especially the video of the cotton field. I'm from Alabama and it is a beautiful state. All of your DIYS were gorgeous. God bless
Super cute projects....and I loved the ending of the cotton...brought back great memories! I grew up surrounded by cotton and bean fields...miss seeing harvest time. I now see the beautiful MS Gulf Coast ! Have a great week Teresa !😺

My father in law grew up picking cotton in Haleyville, Alabama. He would be 93 now.
I grew up in Hamilton
I grew up in South Georgia and we had cotton fields all around us. My father was from Alabama. Thanks for reminding me of my home I miss so much.
Oh I just love these flips❤. It’s like the original Teresa🎉🎉🎉 Beautiful. I especially love the stool ❤❤❤
Thank you Teresa for sharing all your Beautiful projects!
Cotton! A life long dream of mine is to see the “older “ cotton gin working. I’m a quilter

Hi Teresa. Beautiful decor; as always. I have a bag full of red jingle bells. You gave me an idea with having them tied around a vase. Guess I'll be painting tomorrow. Have a blessed day.
All my stools I find , I cut down the legs I make them into planter stools ❤
