So do I. They also make great templates for multiple cuts of the exact same size….they are very versatile and you can go on and on with the ways you can use these. Thanks 🙏
Shout out from Allie! She is a rescue dog we got 10 years ago, she had been abused, she is still very shy but she is a big dog weighing 90 pounds. We love her so much!! Love your video!
What kind of dog is Allie? I rescued a scared emaciated female doberman to be a little sister to my first dobie girl in 2007. She was 1.5 years old (vet estimate) and had been abused and probably used as a breeder as she had recently had pups the vet said. She gained the needed 25 lbs and blossomed into a friendly, loving dog who especially loved children. She lived to be 15. I recently lost 2 rescued dogs I had for 14 years due to old age and health problems. They were at least 16. Still grieving.
@@gingereaves4097 my husband believes she is part lab. She has a pretty coat on her. When we go in the woods it is hard to spot her with her camo coat lol. So sorry about your dogs. I just recently lost my Shorkie.. :( We are volunteers at a state park in Alabama and to clean the sites I just take my golf cart around. Bo (my Shorkie) fell out the the tire ran over his little head. Cried so bad. He followed me around everywhere! I want another one!!
@@jackiestone3468 I am so sorry Jackie for your loss of Bo. I know you are devastated. Thank you for your volunteer work that you and your husband do. I am still grieving the loss of my Australian Shepherd mix and my Italian Greyhound-Whippet mix I had for 14 years. I am waiting for the right dog that needs me and that I can give a good home to since I have health issues and can't walk much. I may foster for a little while.
I have a grandpup named Zaveí’ who’s a Bully. She is the luv of my life and helps me cope with the depression I often suffer from due to many problems I encounter with my health. I just discovered your channel and I just want to say THANK YOU for your beautiful spirit and amazing DIY’s 🥰🙏🏼💐
I also suffer with health issues and for the last 20 years had dogs that helped me cope. A few months ago, I lost my 2 older rescue dogs within 3 weeks of one another as they had health problems also. I adopted them 14 years ago. They were 16-17.
Loving your videos! Growing up, I had a Mini Long-Haired Daschund named Feathers. Her tail was one big feather! She was the sweetest - I got her for my 9th birthday, and she lived for 13 years. Your babies brought back fond memories of her...thank you for that!! Keep on Skipping!
I really enjoyed the video and got alot of great ideas from you. Thanks. I use the matts by cutting them into 3 pieces short ways and put 1 in between the silicone ice trays from d.t. They stop the trays from nesting inside each other and take up minimal space doing it.
Fantastic ideas, the lanterns were amazing! I use the mats as a protector when painting or using hot glue. They clean very easily and don't take up a lot of space when not in use.😀 PS. I have an 18 y/o tux named Herschel who loves watching your videos with me; especially when the pups come on!
I love the lanterns you made. They looked very easy to make and super high end. Btw- While watching your DIY, Auggie heard his name and perked up to listen for it again. It was really cute! Thank you so much!!
Hi Shannon! This is an awesome video! Guess what I'm going to DT for? I KNOW I can use every idea you've presented! Also, I've learned from Jenny, from her channel Lovely Moments Creating, that you can use the thicker, 2pk cutting mats to paint on, shiny side up, and the paint easily wipes off!! TFS!!💕💕💕
I just found your channel and I am really glad I did. I look forward to your future videos and also going back and watch some previous videos. I also have a TH-cam channel. It's about crocheting and crafts. I saw these cutting mats and I need a new cutting surface. I have a cutting board and I don't feel completely safe with cutting mats because I feel it can get some pushed into the surface and leave behind bacteria.
Hi Shannon New viewer and I absolutely love ALL these ideas. The fridge liners the appliance idea, the closet organizer, the napkin ring WoW so many great ideas
The napkin ring loop idea made me also think of a fun party idea for bracelets for games by sticking a colorful ribbon through the holes can be teams games. I also use these cutting mats as dividers in between shirts on my husband’s closet shelves so the shirts can be pulled out easily without sticking to the top or bottom shirt if he pulls one from the middle of the stack. I love your videos and just recently found your channel and I am watching some of your older videos for these awesome ideas💕 Oh also if anyone remembers the shrinky dinks these can also be used for those using sharpie markers.
I'm in Southern CA near the beach and today is really unusually hot - I came right back in after taking out trash. If I want to steam some vegetables I can just take them outside!
Good idea, Teri. I am in Louisiana, and we have had a week of 100-102 degrees. I have been struggling to keep my plants alive and putting ice in the bird bath several times a day.
👍 DAmN girl!! Wasn't expecting all of that!,, but thank you for your super creative mind, I LOVE this idea,but may"bling" it up a little (in a very classy, nontacky kind of way,so ty for the 💡idea,maybe I will share on here my final product! Wish me luck 🤞
Wow Shannon - thanks for these great, clever ideas using the clear cutting boards! I am definitely going out tomorrow to pick up a few of these cutting boards so I can copy a couple of your diys! 😊
I'm a nite owl. DH wasn't. So I'd get up some mornings and he'd be chopping onions and peppers to put in his eggs and/or potatoes on that little narrow strip between the flat built-in stove-top and the front edge of the counter. I try not to complain, so after gently requesting more than once that he use a cutting board instead, I just presented him with a strip just the right size that I'd cut off the end of a DT cutting board. After that he made several custom size cutting mats to use all over the kitchen and the deck for when he was grilling. He thought I was a genius. I reminded him that I was at least smart enough to say yes!
Love this idea! I'm going to try and create some of these as gifts. Maybe with fairies, butterflies, stars or any type silloette. I will print out the silloettes on white paper in black or colored ink and adhere to the inside of cutting mat before gluing cylinder together. It would be for inside use because the weather would ruin the print out if it rained. Thanks so much!
Excellent ideas. I’m taking my gdaughter and couple of her cousins to the beach for a week and preparing for them to make magnetic boards from cookie sheets. I am adding some of your magnet ideas, maybe use fun facts cut from magazines, basic measurements, etc. it’s also 100+ here and during highest heat of the day I need something fun to keep them busy as opposed to playing games on their iPads.
Retired math teacher here! Magnet boards sound great. You could have them "challenge" one another with math facts by using magnetic numbers and maybe practice spelling by cutting out pictures and have them spell the name underneath.
@@gingereaves4097 Great ideas, thanks. I’m a retired teacher myself and have a hard time watching kids glued to their devices. I spend more time on mine than I should but I do see the damage that excessive use is doing to developing minds, or anyone for that matter.
@@lorihamlin3604 You are so correct. I have 3 granddaughters who are 17, 12, and 10. The older used to love to read books until she became a teen and got an iPhone. She was on TH-cam far too much, and it was affecting her emotional state and schoolwork. Fortunately, she listened to me and started to focus on her art and later volunteer work at the animal shelter. In 7th grade she won an art contest and a scholarship to the community college for a summer class. She is extremely talented (I can't draw a straight line with a ruler - LOL). My youngest granddaughter has been read to every night by both parents since she was a baby and kept away from screen time and tv (tv Friday night only for a movie and a very little time for a few cartoons when she was younger - 2-3 hours a week at most). Since Covid, she is homeschooled, so she uses the computer for that only. She is a straight A student and rarely needs any help from her mom who just lays out her assignments for the day. Everyone who meets her thinks she is much older (she is tall) as she is very mature and has an advanced vocabulary. Going to get books from the library is one of her favorite activities. She is an avid reader and shocks me with all the information she knows (and I am an avid learner with grad degrees in English and math and taught college for the last 23 years). I know it sounds like I am a bragging grandmother, but my attorney brother and CPA brother were very surprised when they talked to her. My son bought 20 acres and moved them from Tampa to north central FL. She started an equine boarding business and even knows about LLCs. I have know 1000s of children and adults through 43 years of teaching and going to college, and I have never met such a loving Christian, down-to-earth person in my life other than my grandfather. I am so very blessed to have her in my life! Sorry for the long reply! Keep your grandchildren busy learning without too much screen time.
@@gingereaves4097 Your grandchildren sound delightful and hoping they are happy with some open spaces. I live on a farm just north of Tallahassee. I love the area. Bugs are annoying but you learn to deal with it. My only granddaughter lives in CO but she loves coming to the family farm and spending time with her cousins. They’re aged 5-12 so still enjoy outdoor activities like building forts and digging worms to fish in pond with their homemade poles. They like to pretend they are living in the late 1800s when their great great grandfather first bought the farm. They are fortunate kids that they have such a family history and are surrounded by family that dote on them while still learning life skills that should serve them well as adults. Wow..we are proud grandmothers indeed!
Just found your channel, enjoyed all the ways you showed us how to use the DT cutting mats! I want to make the outdoor table lights! I am a new Subscriber now!!🙂
Love the ideas for scraps. I've made several square wood lanterns with the chopping mats as screens. I just couldn't toss the scraps but wasn't sure what to do with them.
Good Morning Shannon Your Video popped up on my screen and it was crafting so of course I had to watch and I'm gladI did. You have some great ideas thank you I'm going to head to the DT this morning !!! But I do have a question Can you tell me what is the name your coffee maker, I know it's a strange question but I really like it and it caught my eye LOL Thank you again for the great video and I'm heading to watch more of your videos until my DT opens.
First time seeing your channel and thought these was some really cute ideas. Thanks for sharing. I did subscribe and look forward to seeing more. Oh! The christmas stickers were waterproof? What about the puffy stickers? I thank its a great idea for my gbbs and their water bottles and i know my lil ones would drank more water just because of their cute tag 😜.. thx for the idea and love its washable 👍❤ 🙋🏼♀️🙏🏻 have a blessed day!
I don't know if this would work, but could you sandwich the stickers between the cutting mat circle and a circle of clear vinyl using a warm iron or heat press?
We have Buddy and Spot. Buddy is a Dalmatian mix and Spot is a Dachshund Beagle mix.The idea for the dog food was mind blowing. My dogs have their food and water on bath mats on carpets in their bedrooms aka Spot in my Daughter and Son in Laws room and Buddy in my brother's room. They tend to fight over food so we put their food in non common areas. This idea is so much easier than using bath mats that take so much time to throw in laundry and dry. Plus this idea I can decorate for not only bedrooms but give both dogs their individual named mats. All so the place mat Idea going to be great for birthdays and holidays, not to mention picnics or cookouts and save space too. I am also going to experiment and see if I can put Photos on them to really personalize them. The fridge idea to is going to save a ton of clean up.
Hi Shannon, thanks for all the wonderful tips. I’m reading “Pearl” by Sterling Silliphant. He is one of my favorite writers. He truly understands the human condition as does Jonathan Steinbeck, probably at my very top! If you have not these authors, please do. I confess-l’m jealous of all the good people who get to read these works for the first time! ☮️ to you, my friend!
Hi Shannon, I loved this whole video!! I'm new and I've never thought of using the cutting boards! Exciting! Will probably be doing alot of these!! I have a gorgeous Great Pyre named "Willow!!" Would love to hear a shout out!
Have you seen the colored chopping mats at DT lately? I got different colors as I also like to use different ones for different things. There's red, which I immediately thought of for meats, and several other colors.
Hi Shannon I'm a new viewer and my pooch Dodger would love a shout out from your pooch he's a chihuahua mix he's definitely got the little dog who thinks he's a big dog syndrome. 2 of my daughter's have Great Dane brothers Dodger will growl or bark really loud at them and they run away from him they both weigh over 100 lbs he weighs 9. It's hilarious. Looking forward to watching more of your wonderful crafts I will be going back and watching your previous videos as I have time to get more ideas what to make since I'm disabled on a very limited income only place I can afford to do a few crafts to keep me from going stircrazy since I'm stuck at home most days only time I get out is doctor appointments I'll stop if there's a Dollar tree close to where i am to look for new ideas to make
Oh btw,BTW, you are a regular, and chummy with your local $tree people,when they gather all their flowers that have fallen off there stems, ask to buy them,they have to get permission from the manager, she said OK she can have it for $3 for a bag full of flower heads and leaves ,can't beat that
Why? According to my doctor, it would be sanitary as I asked him if it was safe to put my dog's ceramic bowl in there with my other dishes. At Bosch, we care about all of the members of your family-from mom and dad to kids and pets-and we know that you don’t always have time to separate different types of dishes before your run your next load of dishes. That’s why it is important to look for sanitization features on your dishwasher. Organizations such as the National Sanitization Foundation (NSF), a non-profit that creates standards for public health for food, water and consumer goods, can be helpful in identifying dishwashers, like those from Bosch, that deliver the most hygienic results. In fact, each Bosch dishwasher made in the US has one or more cycles that are NSF certified and have been German engineered to kill 99.9% of bacteria, so that we can offer our customers the ultimate peace of mind. It may make you a little squeamish to put your dog's food and water dishes in with your own bowls and plates. However, it may be okay to do so if you have a 'sanitize' setting on your dishwasher. This setting would effectively kill and remove all bacteria, thus preventing cross-contamination.
That was a rude comment. As the old adage states: "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." Colossians 4:6 says, “Let your speech always be gracious [or in some versions, ‘with grace’ or ‘full of grace’], seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person. Do what you want with your life, but the world could use more kindness and less criticism.
@@gingereaves4097 perhaps it was a little rough, but soon , You will be needing that extra money that you are sending to China for your own food and gas money. But made in America has had a slogen for years, we kind of forgot. Now is not the time to squander your cash flow
@@smithlotravels364 At 71, retired with house and new car paid for as well as no debt, I have not squandered my money and have more than enough to sustain me to the end of my days. I am mature enough to do what I want for entertainment. You do what you want, and let others do the same. Everyone's life and finances are different. I would not be presumptuous to try to tell another adult how to manage their finances.
My husband is an artist and he uses the cutting boards to make stencils. 🙂
Love that idea, Katy!
So do I. They also make great templates for multiple cuts of the exact same size….they are very versatile and you can go on and on with the ways you can use these. Thanks 🙏
Thanks I was gonna say that.

Thank you for the idea about using the cutting boards in the refrigerator. GREAT IDEA. I HATE a messy refrigerator.
So glad you liked it Barbara!
I really enjoyed the video and got alot of great ideas from you. Thanks. I use the matts by cutting them into 3 pieces short ways and put 1 in between the silicone ice trays from d.t. They stop the trays from nesting inside each other and take up minimal space doing it.

Love the ideas for scraps. I've made several square wood lanterns with the chopping mats as screens. I just couldn't toss the scraps but wasn't sure what to do with them.
Thanks for watching, Anne!
Outstanding
Thanks so much Cindy!
Good Morning Shannon Your Video popped up on my screen and it was crafting so of course I had to watch and I'm gladI did. You have some great ideas thank you I'm going to head to the DT this morning !!! But I do have a question Can you tell me what is the name your coffee maker, I know it's a strange question but I really like it and it caught my eye LOL Thank you again for the great video and I'm heading to watch more of your videos until my DT opens.
Hi Shannon! If you have time, please show us your back yard (garden)! I need to renew my yard, but am lost for ideas! Inspire me please. 💚
Coming soon Christine!
First time seeing your channel and thought these was some really cute ideas. Thanks for sharing. I did subscribe and look forward to seeing more.
Oh! The christmas stickers were waterproof? What about the puffy stickers? I thank its a great idea for my gbbs and their water bottles and i know my lil ones would drank more water just because of their cute tag 😜.. thx for the idea and love its washable 👍❤
🙋🏼♀️🙏🏻 have a blessed day!
Thanks for watching Bridgett!
I don't know if this would work, but could you sandwich the stickers between the cutting mat circle and a circle of clear vinyl using a warm iron or heat press?
I’m a new Subbie, so glad I found you!
I use the cutting mats under my plants for "just-in-case" spills or leaks
Great idea Marilyn!
We have Buddy and Spot. Buddy is a Dalmatian mix and Spot is a Dachshund Beagle mix.The idea for the dog food was mind blowing. My dogs have their food and water on bath mats on carpets in their bedrooms aka Spot in my Daughter and Son in Laws room and Buddy in my brother's room. They tend to fight over food so we put their food in non common areas. This idea is so much easier than using bath mats that take so much time to throw in laundry and dry. Plus this idea I can decorate for not only bedrooms but give both dogs their individual named mats. All so the place mat Idea going to be great for birthdays and holidays, not to mention picnics or cookouts and save space too. I am also going to experiment and see if I can put Photos on them to really personalize them. The fridge idea to is going to save a ton of clean up.
You go, Rebecca! Thanks so much for watching. Buddy and Spot can look for a shout out in a coming episode.
Hello Shannon I came across your channel and I love the lanterns from the cutting board. New friend here. TFS 💕💕💕

Hi Shannon, thanks for all the wonderful tips.
I’m reading “Pearl” by Sterling Silliphant. He is one of my favorite writers. He truly understands the human condition as does Jonathan Steinbeck, probably at my very top!
If you have not these authors, please do. I confess-l’m jealous of all the good people who get to read these works for the first time!
☮️ to you, my friend!
Thanks for the great recommendations!
Great ideas😘
Hi Shannon, I loved this whole video!! I'm new and I've never thought of using the cutting boards! Exciting! Will probably be doing alot of these!! I have a gorgeous Great Pyre named "Willow!!" Would love to hear a shout out!
Will do Christine!!

Welcome Crystal!
Awesome!
Thanks Soni!!
On the first project you can also cut out some patterns and that would shine thru.
Great idea!
I folded one into thirds and put closuers on each side. Makes an envelope. I use it for craft stuff.
Great idea, Jennie! Thanks for watching.

Have you seen the colored chopping mats at DT lately? I got different colors as I also like to use different ones for different things. There's red, which I immediately thought of for meats, and several other colors.
I haven’t seen those, Teri! Now I will keep an eye out for them. Thanks for watching.
Teri...Colored mats haven't gotten to my store either. What are the other colors?
Hi Shannon I'm a new viewer and my pooch Dodger would love a shout out from your pooch he's a chihuahua mix he's definitely got the little dog who thinks he's a big dog syndrome. 2 of my daughter's have Great Dane brothers Dodger will growl or bark really loud at them and they run away from him they both weigh over 100 lbs he weighs 9. It's hilarious. Looking forward to watching more of your wonderful crafts I will be going back and watching your previous videos as I have time to get more ideas what to make since I'm disabled on a very limited income only place I can afford to do a few crafts to keep me from going stircrazy since I'm stuck at home most days only time I get out is doctor appointments I'll stop if there's a Dollar tree close to where i am to look for new ideas to make
Thanks so much for watching, Brenda! Glad you got ideas. Look for a shout out for Dodger!
@@shannonskiptomylife Ahhhhhh he will appreciate that soooooooo much.
Oh btw,BTW, you are a regular, and chummy with your local $tree people,when they gather all their flowers that have fallen off there stems, ask to buy them,they have to get permission from the manager, she said OK she can have it for $3 for a bag full of flower heads and leaves ,can't beat that
This is an incredible idea Roberta! You are a genius. Thanks for sharing.
McCall, Ruffie, chloe,Milo,Coco
I use them as Cricut mats
Spray them with chalk board paint
Great idea, Terry!

I sure wouldn’t put my plastic mat I the dishwasher after it’s been on the floor.
Why? According to my doctor, it would be sanitary as I asked him if it was safe to put my dog's ceramic bowl in there with my other dishes. At Bosch, we care about all of the members of your family-from mom and dad to kids and pets-and we know that you don’t always have time to separate different types of dishes before your run your next load of dishes. That’s why it is important to look for sanitization features on your dishwasher.
Organizations such as the National Sanitization Foundation (NSF), a non-profit that creates standards for public health for food, water and consumer goods, can be helpful in identifying dishwashers, like those from Bosch, that deliver the most hygienic results. In fact, each Bosch dishwasher made in the US has one or more cycles that are NSF certified and have been German engineered to kill 99.9% of bacteria, so that we can offer our customers the ultimate peace of mind.
It may make you a little squeamish to put your dog's food and water dishes in with your own bowls and plates. However, it may be okay to do so if you have a 'sanitize' setting on your dishwasher. This setting would effectively kill and remove all bacteria, thus preventing cross-contamination.
I hate when I watch different videos but the same old content/craft and footage is used in them.
I do, too, as well as travel hacks. I did learn something new from this one.
Wow buying cheap China crap how about comercials for something bought from USA ?
That was a rude comment. As the old adage states: "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." Colossians 4:6 says,
“Let your speech always be gracious [or in some versions, ‘with grace’ or ‘full of grace’], seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person. Do what you want with your life, but the world could use more kindness and less criticism.
@@gingereaves4097 perhaps it was a little rough, but soon , You will be needing that extra money that you are sending to China for your own food and gas money. But made in America has had a slogen for years, we kind of forgot. Now is not the time to squander your cash flow
@@smithlotravels364 At 71, retired with house and new car paid for as well as no debt, I have not squandered my money and have more than enough to sustain me to the end of my days. I am mature enough to do what I want for entertainment. You do what you want, and let others do the same. Everyone's life and finances are different. I would not be presumptuous to try to tell another adult how to manage their finances.
