Okay, huge observation. You have some of the most important (in my opinion) traits for crafting. You love to upcycle, you're cost conscious, you're talented, and overwhelmingly patient. Your patience in developing your projects and your patience in responding to comments. You just seem to be a really neat and very kind lady. I'm learning more than crafting techniques from you and I'm grateful. Kudos. Continued blessings, dear.
Thanks so much for the kind words❤️ I appreciate it
I think you are very generous to share the ideas and techniques with which you make money. Many people would not do that.
True
Glad your enjoying ❤️
This is so true! I have learned so much by watching your videos alone!
Where would i get the recipe fir your chalk paint please.
Your channel is so inspiring!@OurUpcycledLife
@@I-serve-you-tea😊
I'll just drop off my "stash" and pick it up when you're done working your magic! 🤭
Wouldn't that be nice . . .
No, wouldn't that be lovely!!! we would sing all the way home. For those that are a lot younger than me, that was a song Julie Andrews sang I think in the Sound of Music, but it could be Mary Poppins. Anyway, it is a lovely old song and I just could not help but attach it to your response Donna.... hope you don't mind.@@donnabrasher3303
lol too cute!!!
Oh no!!! My stash is already too big!! Hahaha
Me too pleeeese😊
The glass jar with the hole in the bottom is a fly trap. Flys can crawl in any direction but can only fly in straight lines. A mixture of borax, sugar or honey and water is pored into the gully at the bottom of the jar. When the flies land usually at the bottom opening after the luring smell of the water and honey they crawl in and drink the sweet poisonous borax water where they become trapped and can’t fly up or down to escape. It works quite well.
Yes exactly
It is a bug catcher, my aunt had one…..memories ❤
I really want some ones old bug catcher now! 😂 this lady just works magic to create so much beauty, otherwise I would never be on the lookout for some ones old dead bug stash!
Glad you enjoyed!
I REALLY like that you do so many projects!! I also love that you give plenty of instructions and product details but move at a speed so that the viewer does not lose interest.
Thank you so much!
I agree.
Thank you so much. I’m enjoying my first video with you. Happy Mother’s Day (this weekend)
Welcome and thanks for watching. Hope you find lots of great content.
The salt and pepper shakers would be cute with bride and groom photos at the head table or as placecard holders with family/guest pix for each person at a dinner.
Oh great idea
Is there anything that you can’t do?!?!? I love that you’re living your best life! TFS!!!
Yes! Thank you!
I love when you do the multicoloured chippy paint. I haven’t tried it yet. I need to thrift the right thing to paint up.
I think the glass bee hive thing is a wasp catcher.
I love the salt wash! My favourite paint technique
Eeeeek those little blocks were adorable...i REALLLLY need to order some of those word pages😮😊😮❤
Glad you enjoyed
So many fun and amazing ideas, techniques and results! Thank you so much! One less item in a landfill is one less item in a landfill!❤
You are so welcome!
I absolutely love that burning method and have used it- it is amazing and almost magical
It really is!
Love all your ideas!! ❤❤
Thanks so much 😊
Really like the green/stone color pitcher vase. You were blessed to find the perfect ‘Oops’ paint and this uniquely shaped vase.
Exactly! I am so jealous of that paint color for $3! I just bought a similar vase, same sand paint, half this brown color and the top half is a dark blue, from hobby lobby. It was on sale for $12 from $45. I thought I had a deal but now I don’t think so!
Thanks so much 😊
That burning technique was amazing! I hadn't seen that one before.
I love it!
Thanks for the great ideas! Everyone can apply these techniques to make items their own.❤
Absolutely!!
Oh, love these! ❤🎉
Thanks so much
Love all of your artistic ideas.. beautiful
Thanks so much 😊
Thanks for the inspiration. I turned a dead tree into garden markers with your transfer technique using polyacrylic. I had a blast. They turned out great
How awesome!!

Lamp looks 1000 times better.

Thanks so much! 😊 Glad to have you here
I think the younger as in millennial generation has more inner strength. They are faced with different emotional challenges and some that are timeless.
I see them like emotional
suffragettes. They will speak up for themselves. This is not a blanket statement because mental health is not one size fits all. I do admire their strength And as a older woman I wish that that spark had been planted in me.
They are whiners who think no one ever experienced challenges before them. They’ve been handed everything by two income parents for far too long! Thanks to working moms.
@@user-gw5kb4in6x unfortunately not under my roof. I guess I'm not as financially elevated as you.
Super brava ❤
I would love to say which one is my favorite, but I just can’t do that! That’s because you’ve absolutely made picking just one totally impossible! Soooo many wonderful ideas! You are truly talented & extremely creative! God has blessed you & now you’re blessing all of us by sharing! I can hardly wait to make a bunch of these! Thank you!! 😊
Oh thank you!
I love your ideas and creations…I don’t think you need a graphic on everything though…😊
I agree but on the other hand for selling purposes they always do better ❤️
You are so creative. I love the way you took random objects and made them unique.
Glad you enjoyed
Watched all of this nearly 3hrs long, and thoroughly enjoyed all of it. You did some great creations and have given me some wonderful ideas and techniques to try, so thank you for doing this video, it's proven to be a great help to me. 🥰🇬🇧🐾🐾💖

I have a shelf full of old candle jars, candle holders, mason jars and i've been trying to figure out what to do with the. I watched your mason jar video yesterday, I'm so excited to turn them all into something new. Going to sit down tonight and watch your videos. Love this channel so much : )

Darling, creative and sweet lady! Love your channel - but frankly I cannot input almost 3 hrs at a time. Suggest biting them up say like 4-5 ideas at a time. Believe you would get many many many more hits......LOVE YOUR CREATIVITY! THANK YOU FOR SHARING! YOU ARE AWESOME!
So glad you’re enjoying! You can skip around and watch in segments when you have time ❤️
The bee hive thing is a wasp trap. It needs a cork or stopper in the top. Add sugar water in the bottim.
Yes exactly 👍
It's a waspcatcher the beehive... ❤
Yep❤️
This video is too long for me. I tried watching it multiple times and even though I mark down my start/ending times, I just can't stay focused. I do like you creativity and have used several of your ideas. Hoping future videos are no longer than 30 minutes
Thank you for your inspiration!
Oh yes I have lots much shorter. Usually only have one of these a Month

Love everything Lol except for the succulent because I happen to be the only person in ALLLLL of the entirety of North America who dislikes them🤦🏻 which of course leaves more for y'all to love!
BuUuUuUt AnYwAyS I do love, doing the reverse transfer method but learned that the white glue I tried because I was out of the other annnnnd I'm here to say that there's a difference!😆
My whole design just slid right off the piece right in front of a friend I was just saying that you don't have to buy the expensive stuff.......it was like a slow moving nightmare......yup where I had to eat crow🙄 a giant piece of humble pie😉 Neener neener flavor but LoL we all know, we need those moments to keep life funny, at times when we might take ourselves a little too serious😏 and let's face it 🙃 that's how we find some of our favorite techniques and pieces!!!
Through the mistake of" less than perfect" turns out to be some of our best!

lol!! This made me giggle 🤭 I’ve been in those situations before ! Fake it till ya make it ….❤️
Hi I've just subscribed to you chanel and you have opened my eyes regarding the printing you have done and how many products you have made I can't not get the stickers for the wording I need as I'm in the UK but now I can print what I like in what font I like so I thank you for that .
So glad to have you following along and that you found some great content enjoy
Okay watching this again!!! I’ve picked up those blocks, I have a laser jet printer…ready to go!!! What size font did you use and do you have a recommendation for the font type?!?!? Please and thank you!!!
I have lots of graphics in my Etsy store ❤️www.etsy.com/ca/shop/OurUpcycledLife
I’d like to hear how much you sell the items for and how do people use the little building block signs in their decor?

Bee glass is a wasp catcher
It is a wasp catcher. I have one.
Wow nice ideas. Just subscriibed.
Thanks for subbing!
I suggest nailing that horseshoe to the block of wood using actual horseshoe nails. Just a suggestion. Enjoy your show your video lots of good ideas thank you!😊
Great idea!
I enjoy watching each one of your videos, you are so talented. I tried something and it didn't work for me. I painted a set of metal candle holders with primer and when it was dry I spray it with hair spay , then chalk paint, the end result was a mess. I'm sure I did something wrong.
Yes it won’t work with chalk paint has to be acrylic paint
I noticed you say Polycrylic even when you're using Varathane sealer. I think you mean polyurethane. Polycrylic is a specific brand.
Have you ever tried black paper with white lettering and transferring onto a black piece?
The white will just show up as black from underneath as you can’t print white ink
I have thrift purchases piling up in my living room now. I'm not sure if I should thank you for the inspirations or curse you ;-) One thing I'm unsure of, when you print off your laser jet graphic should you use it right away or does it matter if it sits a few days?
You can leave it for a time and it will work fine
@@OurUpcycledLife Than you.
That beehive thing about the 50 minute mark, I found some variations to be priced from a few hundred to a fee thousand dollars depending on age but apparently it was used to catch wasps or flies from what I found.
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
Cute signs brand name toy blocks are larger…
