Mary please show us your storage room and organizing for all your home decor! Would LOVE to see how you organize all the decor you have!
Mary, quit apologizing for something that you either bake or cook. Who cares if it is organic or not. It all looks very good.
You are right! There’s also the folks out there that think it all needs to be gluten-free. The only people that need that are the ones with celiac disease or sensitivity.
Yes, please Mary, and I love seeing you making traditional, normal food as our elders used to cook! Very refreshing!
It’s a natural reaction for an apology to come out.. I’m the exact same way- I seriously don’t think mary is sincerely sorry but it’s makes her feel better to say “sorry”.. it’s a part of her personality and who she is...*MARY I LOVE THE WAY YOU ARE PLEASE DON’T EVER CHANGE A THING FOR ANYONE ELSE❣️🥰
I’ve been watching some of your older videos … you are amazing!! I love all the ideas you have and how nothing goes to waste. I’m inspired each and every time I watch you.
Thanks for showing us the " mind change part". I do that all the time. And we got to see both options. 😍
Yes! I liked watching that part too! It turned out PERFECT! 🤩
Dear Mary Loved this video, listening to you talk about butchering chickens it was something that my family and grandmothers did as well, there were nine of us so my parents taught us how to raise and butcher. So it was passed onto me. There is nothing that taste any better. You are such an inspiration. I have learned so much from your channel. All the Christmas decor is stunning. I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and Blessed 2023🎄🎉🎊
I love how everything turned out, especially your card tree. The recipes all looked delicious. I always enjoy your videos and you're definitely one of my favorite RUclipsrs.
I’m glad you used the powdered snow. It looks realistic. Your dishes look pretty in the cabinet! You’re one of the hardest working women I’ve seen. I’m sure your dinner was delicious!
Greetings from NC!!! Thank you for keeping life simple and sweet. Our world is in total chaos, we need simplicity,charm and lots of love when caring for our families. YOU DO AN AMAZING JOB ❤,thank you for all your hard work🎉
I love your second display of your White House’s! I can so relate to having a mind change within a mind change 😂 Appreciate you Mary!
Love Love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love and one more thing, I love love love everything!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mary, I have a project that I don't think I've never seen you make it on a RUclips, but you might already know about it. Take your old Christmas cards. Put the back of the Christmas card if you want to on the back of the piece of 2 / 2 / 42 / 6 sand them down, paint them, make them look old paint them white and sand them off and take them a little bit around the edges. Then put the Christmas card. On the front glue it on the front and you can do some little embellishment.If you want to end in the corner with a little bow or some green me off of berries is just so cute.It's just it looks just like something you would make and you would have in your house so you might want to think about that with your old christmas cards
This got us in a mood to decorate- so serene and comforting. Your card tree shows how crafting skills can really make a home a haven!
Hi Mary, greetings from rural Queensland, Aust. I have a confession to make! I have NEVER in my nearly 72 years, Never sent a Christmas Card. I was a working mother of 3 boys, an RN and was always busy working or studing. I used to tell friends not to send me a card as I never have time to do the same. In fact, I can remember getting a card for the letter box once, opening it to see who it was from, then putting it in the bin as I walked inside. I did however phone my friends and relatives and have a chat catch up before Christmas. I don't remember ever having Christmas Day off work until much later in my career when I could pick and choose my work hours. Anyway have a happy and safe Christmas 2024, it is coming up soon enough.
Mary I love you just the way you are please don’t change to please others❣️🥰💯
It is always so fun to see what you are up to. I love the simplicity of your Christmas decorating. The green dishes are beautiful! I love the Christmas tree card idea!! I also appreciate the recipe and dinner ideas. I am always up for those!! You are so fun to watch!! You inspire!!
You are so incredible! Thank you for sharing! Your followers love you!
I loved seeing you give the cat some treats. He looks like he is much loved!
Mary, thanks for sharing these delicious looking recipes. Your home looks beautiful.🎄🎄
You look good in that green dress at the end of the video.
Your videos are calming and refreshing. In a world of darkness and craziness, I know your message is clean and wholesome. thank you
You are absolutely my favorite to watch. I have gotten so many ideas from you. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
Merry Christmas, dear Mary! God bless and keep you and make his face to shine upon you and your family, as we remember the dear Baby, our Savior.
Mary, changing our mind is the way to improve things. If no one ever changed their mind there would never be any new inventions, no new discoveries in the medical field or any of that. We would be stuck in time. Also, I make those cookies every year they are my absolute favorite! They go by so many different names all around the world. I have heard rum balls, bourbon balls, Russian tea cakes Russian tea cookies, I have taken to calling them pecan snowballs. So absolutely delicious no matter what they're called! Merry Christmas
We call those snowball cookies. Thanks for the reminder. I’m going to make these for my 85 year old mom❤
We just processed 37 chickens to fill our freezer. It is the best feeling knowing that you are eating your own chicken that was fed well and so much better taste wise - a lot of value for a little bit of effort.
So many fun ideas! Who doesn't like cookies?? So yum!! Winner winner chicken dinner with stuffing....score!! Thanks for sharing!! 😊❤
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. After my daughter passed away 2 years ago the holidays have been exceptionally difficult. This is the first year I’ve actually enjoyed all the cooking and baking. I want to try your dressing. Looked delicious. My wish is that you and your family have a very Merry Christmas.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
@@donandlisalackey8745 thank you ♥️
Mary, once again, you have managed to wow me with your aesthetics! The simplicity of it plus the energy and heart that goes into each design project you undertake are its most endearing quality. Keep doing what you do, Mary. All best!❤️
PS. I love the subtle way you’ve managed to add color to your attire lately.😊👍🏼👍🏼
Mary, I love when you talk about the weather! I must be old too!
I like the fake snow too. Lets a person see the scenes better! Yummy Dinner! Your stick tree idea is GREAT!
Oh my..the shelf is very beautiful...but I did love the green trees with the white ones...it all goes together beautifulfy.......💖
I love how you decorate! Your home always looks so warm and inviting. Love it all!
Mary, your green and black plaid dress looks so beautiful on you! You are such a gift and an inspiration to me. God bless you. ❤
You've blessed us with so many creative decorative ideas! I think the trees, snow & white churches will work all through winter!
Don't mind you changing your mind--I think we all do!
I love the idea of all whites. I found you 2 weeks ago and you got me up from the chair... I've painted my front wall surrounding my Christmas red fireplace, grey green and White cliff beige. I love it! Now on to the rest of my entire house. Haven't painted in 25 years, my how time flys! Thank you Mary🌟😊
Everything looks beautiful! Those Russian, Mexican cookies or wherever they are from are my Favorite! So simple and so delicious. I make them all the time.
Funny story. When my mom was in hospital after having my sister, my dad who grew up on a farm and I had a whole chicken to cut up to fry. It grossed us both out so much we ate out the next few days! That was 1974. He is 87 yrs old.
I'm watching this again for the 3rd time since you put it out at least. I have one serving platter from that ivy dish set, I really love it. So neat to know that there is the possibility of finding an entire set! I never get tired of watching your videos and often watch them multiple times! Thank you for sharing what you do Mary!
Beautiful kitchen, love the card tree 🎄🎄 21:39
Wow I luv that larger apron🎄🎄🎄The house scaping is beautiful🤍🌲🤍. Enjoying the simplicity immensely 😊😊😊
Love everything you do. Love the card tree what a beautiful idea to show case your cards. I tape mine to my closet door lol so maybe I could do what you did I just love it. ❤️ Your home is absolutely beautiful. Thank-you Mary for sharing all your great ideas with us. You are so blessed with all your talents.
Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄❄️⛄️🦌
I love all of your green and white for Christmas, very serene and pretty. Btw, I also butchered chickens when I was a teenager, I learned to cut off the heads, dunk in hot water and defeather the birds right down to gutting them and cutting them up to be frozen. I loved working alongside my siblings and parents while we put away the chickens.
I am going to make that broccoli salad, I already have the ingredients, we will enjoy it tomorrow. Thank you for the video, I always enjoy yours.
Your home looks so beautiful with all the white and green. Food looks delicious as always!! The Christmas card tree is absolutely perfect!! Merry Christmas and God bless.
Watching your videos is both inspiring and a balm. Thank you!
Love all of your decorations !! You always make everything look just perfect. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
The tree for your Christmas cards, is beautiful! I love it! Your kitchen is gorgeous!💚🎄❤️
I always look forward to Wednesday to watch your videos! Merry Christmas to you & your family.
Your simple elegance is stunning. Such an inspiration! You always do such a GREAT job. Thanks for bringing us along!
Love the sweet and happy music 8.48.
Good morning, Mary! I like that you changed your snow from batting to glittery powder. I was thinking the batting looked like a blizzard had covered your village. :) Your kitchen looks so inviting - so simply beautiful!!! And I love your twig card tree!!! What a great idea!!! I wish I would have room for one. Thank you for sharing another inspiring video!!!
Mary you are very bless amazing person. You don't have to apologize for anything. Loves
love the way you village turned out. The nativity is so cute.
Love the card tree and the snow around the houses.
I’m from South East Texas, that’s stovetop stuffing. Interesting stuff
Merry Christmas, Mary. You are a gift to us all!
You are amazing, all the work you do and never seem tired or anxious!
I enjoyed watching you doiing everything in this video Mary. Thanks for sharing your lovely ideas. The tree you created for displaying your cards is my favourite! Merry Christmas and amHappy 2023!
Mary everything looks so pretty. What a clever way to display your cards. You supper looked delicious. Have to say i really liked the beige sweater you were wearing.
Nice video - thanks. Love the look of the trees, churches and houses with snow on the shelves.
You are so enjoyable to watch. Vanilla is so easy :) For the size bottle you have, fill 2/3 full with Vodka and 10 high grade vanilla beans (sliced down center) Put lid/cap on, and place in cool dry dark cabinet. wait at least 3 months, I check it every couple weeks, shake, and make sure beans are below alcohol level. Best at 6 months and over .Beautiful dark color. You can add more alcohol or beans at any time. (Rum, Whiskey work also) Merry Christmas!!!!
Hi Mary everything looks beautiful 😍 i love everything you do. I have been following you for 6 years now. Happy Birthday for Saturday wishing you many blessings on your special day 🎂 🙏 your birthday 🎂 is on the Same day as my son. Xx
Organic valley is a great company☺️. Love your white village houses!
Love how you decorate for Christmas. It’s very charming n cozy. Some people tend to over do it everywhere. I’m not that type of person. I just like a few things here n there. For example like yours. I love those cookies you made. They’re my favorite all year around. Your right many names for them. I remember the first time I watched my Mama make them, they became our traditional cookies in our home at Christmas time.
Wishing you n your family a memorable Christmas with much love, joy n laughter.
♥️😊👍🌟🌟🎄
I have never made dressing like that, can’t wait to try it !
As always, everything you touch is beautiful !!!!
Blessings
Good choice on the change of snow . It looks beautiful ❄️❄️
You always do everything so eligant and beautiful.
OMG the sweet kitty cat ate a little onion piece that fell to the floor and then she didn't like it and spat it out!!!!! Oh I so love the kitty.
BTW, I want to thank you so much for the recommendation on the towels for cleaning windows (forget the name already). I cleaned all of my windows and my gosh what a difference!!!!!!
Now please tell e how to clean?wash them, there is a lot of dirt I picked up.
And of course your decoration is always on pointe. Cheers and Merry Christmas
That broccoli salad looks delicious!!!! Everything looks so delicious and your kitchen looks beautiful!!!
I made from scratch dressing for Thanksgiving and everyone just loved it. They all asked what kind it was lol I said DYI Laura dressing 😋 I love cooking from scratch!!
Mary, you have such a way to make everything so beautiful and cozy! Thanks for sharing!
I absolutely LOVE the card holder! It’s perfect on the black wall. Merry CHRISTmas my friend.
Delightful video, Mary! A mixed bag of holiday delights. I love all your choices. Hope your Christmas is wonderful and blessed.🎄😇
Mary, I found a wonderful way to have snow on my entry table and for my village. I bought a length of white fur fabric and cut it to fit. It fluffs up and really gives the look of snow, with no mess, and the little trees and houses stand up in it just fine. I really enjoy your videos. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
I love your last choice the best! So beautiful!
I never thought of putting carrots, eggs and milk in my stuffing. I use onion, celery, chestnuts, and sausage. I wouldn't.mind trying yours. It looks delicious.
Love seeing what you come up with for decorations. Love the green dishes. What a great find. Merry Christmas to you all!
I love your Christmas village display and Christmas card holder! Your plaid apron and green plaid dress are adorable! Merry Christmas to you and your family and a blessed New Year!
Love your redos it's your critical eye aiming high. Good for you. I live your styling way and your talents!
When you finally put the little green trees and fake snow with the white houses, I’ve thought-Perfect!!
I always enjoy your decorating videos, and especially this one. A merry, blessed Christmas to your family.
Mary, you seize to amaze me! I had to smile when you talked about dressing a chicken 🐔! Merry Christmas 🎄
I so enjoy watching your videos. You have such great decorating ideas. Every room so comfy and calming. And watching you cook is always joy as well. Brings back memories of my grandmothers and mother cooking using only natural ingredients, generally from home gardens and local butchers who only sold the best. Merry Christmas to you and yours. 🎄
Love these ideas! Simple and not expensive, perfect! The broccoli salad is one of our favorites here in the upper Midwest. I like to add salted roasted sunflower seeds and raisins. Yum
Mary….you are just so cute! Everything you do is done so thoughtfully! I love the simplicity of your decor. The ivy dishes are beautiful….I have a few of them. Merry Christmas!
Bring back so much memories of raising chickens, the trig tree🎄 .when we lived on the farm.my mom and grandma did a lot of things you did and talked about. How exciting it was for you to share these.Thank you for sharing these with us mary.
Loved the green & white dishes! I have had restaurant type dishes for 35yrs ! Green & white, too. I was amazed you had set up a similar winter scene with white buildings..I,too had et up such a scene. Merry & Blessed Christmas to you & your family. Love your videos!
We used to call them Russian cookies and I love them!
Your decor so beautiful and delicate!!! Also you made my favorite cookies!
You always have interesting topics to talk about , and love the food you make it always looks so good. Love the new dishes and your village and tree shelves. Everything looks great, the tree card holder is neat. Thanks for sharing, God Bless your beautiful family.
Mary! How ironic you mentioned the homemade vanilla extract. I just watched a video last night with Kelly Barlow showing us how to make extracts! The vanilla extract she was making look exactly like your bottle except it was a little clearer because it has to sit for a few weeks. You may want to check that out as I know I am going to try it as well! Especially since you say it's a wonderful and extracts are extremely expensive. I'd think I'd used it a lot more if I had these larger quantities and they were homemade and at my disposal. She also did lemon, almond, coconut, Orange well, all in all she did seven different ones! I know she would be very happy if you viewed her site as she is going through some terribly difficult times right now but managing to keep upbeat for the most part.
Love this chanel😍😍🤗
I absolutely love everything you do and every video! Thank you Mary!
What a great idea on the branches tree you made for Christmas cards. Very creative.
Thanks for sharing. Might try that one for next year.
I just made broccoli salad for our Christmas dinner. Everyone loves it. I use mayo, vinegar, salt, pepper and sugar for the dressing
I was looking for away to display my Christmas cards. Love how you made the tree out of twigs. Might have to try to make one if these.
You are so gifted with home improvement and designing I'm in awe...of your God given talents....truth I learn different looks techniques in design listening as well as watching you. You instruct as you carry on... natural I mean, not poorly scripted..
I appreciate that thanks
Everything looks so pretty! I especially love the twig Christmas tree for your Christmas cards. Merry Christmas!!
Another beautiful video - thank you, Mary. I adore the village scene on your shelves - wish I could do the same but I've never seen those houses etc in South Africa.😢Wishing you and your whole family a blessed festive season and a wonderful 2023.
Mary you have the magic touch for making everything look inviting and beautiful, Merry Christmas!
You always have such good ideas! The footage of your cat is so cute. Cats always amaze me!
Mary, I pray you have a very merry Christmas. You bring me so much joy with your videos. You were the very first RUclips channel I started watching, probably right after you started sharing. Thank you ❤ and may you continue to be blessed with creativity & success! Merry Christmas 🎄 Happy New Year🎉 Hugs! Debra
I printed out your print outs and they look soooo pretty!! I’m so glad you did that tree I was trying to figure out how to make it all go together and now I know!!! Thanks for all your hard work!!! 21:54 10:08
