    It turned out fabulous! Thank you for your step by step processes. I am planning on a Christmas at the zoo in a couple of years. I have gotten so excited with planning my 2024 village, that I have blown my budget already! Lol, Too many awesome things to buy. Thanks again, Miriam, you are greatly appreciated.❤

    So gourgous Miriam, you did an outstanding job. I especially loved the penguin enclosure. Thanks for this video, we just lost our 17 year old cat. Watching this put a smile on my face. Your zoo will be a great addition to your village. Take care dear lady.

      Hello Donna,
      I am so sorry to hear about your cat. Loosing a pet is like loosing a family member.
      I’m glad to bring a little joy to your day, especially after your loss.
      Take care Donna!

    You never stop amazing me with your talent and design skill. Your Zoo concept is Tremendous. It looks like the most Expensive items in
    your Layout was the Animals themselves! The way you created your cages in a very affordable way ....Fantastic! Loved your individual breakdown of steps for Video watching! Score a 10 for Miriam's Manner.

    • @MiriamsManner
      @MiriamsManner  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Robin,
      Thank you very much! Thank you so much for mentioning the animals because I forgot to add them to the list. The animals were pretty affordable too. I think they were 12.00 on Amazon. I will find the link and post it in the description box.
      Thanks for noticing the step breakdowns, I am trying something new. I put time stamps for each step in the description box to make it easier to find the steps while someone is building. My foam was free so I believe the zoo cost me approx 85.00 to make.

    Oh my goodness!!! Miriam!!! You have completely outdown yourself. This display is awesome! I can't imagine all the hard work you put into it, but you make it all look so easy. I was at work yesterday morning when Mom texted me that you had your new video up. After she watched it, she said she was ready to start hers. You are so inspiring. She did notice in one of your scenes that you were wearing a sweater. Did the temperatures dip into the low 60s?? hahaha
    I have to say your poor little hot knife made me laugh. All bent and loose. Too funny. It may not be in the best shape, but it's still doing the job. Try to be a bit more gentle next time. I love how you have some of the animals perched atop stones. It really adds to the realism. Using the wire for the cages was genius and worked perfectly. Don't even get me started on that penguin enclosure. The "glass work". The pond. The penguin sliding down the ice ramp. That part alone made me smile.
    That's one thing I can always say about your videos. They make me smile. Your creativity. Your warmth. Your sharing of your gifts with us. Your encouragment as we share our gifts with you. This is one of the few channels that I can visit and feel safe and secure and all the problems in the world aren't important. It's like visiting a dear friend. Thank you for that.
    I haven't been doing too much smiling lately. A week ago Saturday, I had to say good-bye to my dear kitty. His name was Tarot and he was 16 years and seven months old. He had some health issues that I discovered last summer. He was a trooper and my miracle kitty, but the time had finally come when I had to say good-bye. I know he is now healthy, happy and surrounded by family members both two-legged and four-legged.
    It will be difficult planning our this years village and setting it up without him here to share with me, but I know he'll be watching from above. I really haven't been giving my village all that much thought, but after seeing what you've accomplished, maybe I better start. It is the first of March. So first a zoo and next a carnival??? I love carnivals. This is going to be a spectacular village for sure!!
    As always Miriam, thank you for sharing your gifts, talents and love of Christmas villages. It is great appreciated. Sending Peace and Blessings to you and your family.

      Hey Lloyd,
      You crack me up. 😂🤣 We actually did have about 10 days of really harsh weather. One day it actually snowed about 20 miles away from where I live. The snow melted before it hit the ground but it was a actually that cold. I think all the storms in surrounding states really affected us.
      My poor hot knife has seen its last project. I did finally get a new one so I won’t have to struggle with that one anymore. I love how you always notice the small details that I try to add to my builds. It’s nice to know others notice and appreciate them like I do.
      I’m so glad you feel happy and safe with my channel, hearing that means so much to me. I have a genuine love for people and I do my best to share the love God has placed in me with others. I am glad that you have received it in the manner I give it. I know the world would be a better place if we could all show love and kindness towards one another.
      I am deeply sorry to hear about Tarot. You are the third person to mention loosing a cat after that long in about 2 months time. I can’t imagine having your dear pet be a part of your family that long and no longer be with you. I pray the pain of your loss doesn’t stay long and that you have joy when you remember Tarot.
      I am super excited about the carnival. I have been wanting to do a carnival for years and I finally get to do one this year. I think I will take all the time I need planning it out because I want it to be magical.
      Well, tell Mom I said hello and give her a big hug for me. God bless you two and talk soon! ☺️

    Hi Miriam!! You outdid yourself once again! Your zoo village turned out phenomenal! My favorite part was the penguin enclosure; that looked so cool! This really inspired to think about what I want my village to look like this year. I really want to incorporate a drive-in movie theater to my Christmas village this year; so I've been researching ideas online about how I want it to look!

    • @MiriamsManner
      @MiriamsManner  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello Nikita,
      It’s good to hear from you. Thank you so much! This zoo presented some different challenges that took me a while to figure out but I’m very pleased with the way it turned out.
      A drive in would be awesome. They actually have drive in screens for the village that work. Have you seen them? Your village would be so next level with a drive in.
      Im so excited for this Christmas because so many people are coming up with fantastic ideas for their villages. I look forward to seeing them all.
      I attached a few links below for you for different drive in options. Hope it helps! 😄

      I did commit to buying more village accessories and supplies every month to go with the mountain and lake were building later this year. Thank goodness we have your videos to rely on for support. At first we were thinking of doing a residential area but now we decided to do a camping oasis. We like to go camping up at Mt. Charleston(Las Vegas) every summer, and when I saw all the village camping accessories, we changed our minds.

      Hello Elena, I am far from a sorceress. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. 😄. I have not yet worked with putty but I have been wanting to use different sculpting clays this year on my next project.
      Do you work with putty? If so, any tips?

    This is so awesome! Thank you. What size is your base, please?

      Hello Suanne,
      Thank you very much! This is a pretty large base. It is 4’ wide by 3 1/2’ deep and 10” tall.
