    This woman must have BOUNDLESS energy. I’d be exhausted for weeks after just decorating my house. I sure af wouldn’t feel like crafting. And everything she makes is stunning! Talented doesn’t begin to describe her and I’m very happy she’s like that haha! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everybody. Lol

    Imagine the people who have lived down the street for decades driving by that home and finally seeing the porch light on and a tree in the window. What an incredible feeling that must have been.
    The most beautiful home in all of the land. What a dream Christine- And you’re living in it! 🖤 I couldn’t think of a more deserving person for this home to come back to life with as its new owner & caretaker.

    You know I grew up loving to watch Martha Stewart, specifically her Halloween episodes. When I watch Christine I get that same feeling each time I watch her! That feeling of comfort and just straight creativity. Of course Christine has her own style and that just makes it all the better!
