Came across you today whilst planning our natural Christmas tree for next year. We aim to undertake some guerrilla decorating on a community evergreen tree where people can enjoy natural things and perhaps take something from it without it leaving a footprint on the area and it will be augmented with some bird food items. You have provided us some wonderful ideas, for which I offer my appreciation. I love your approach the inherent gentleness in your presentations. Thankyou for sharing your thoughts, ideas and family with us. God Bless you and yours. CC P.s you have a new sub here in the Snowy North East of Scotland.
I used to live in a old 1800 farmhouse, it changed my life....Oh how I still lived there.. Yes, it is that old farmhouse that will pull your heart to live a more simple live....
I'm dehydrating cranberries for our tree's garland, along with lemons, oranges, grapefruit & apples, (cranberries take a week!!) I'm also making our hearth garland from our pine tree trimmings & baked pine cones to open them. I'll also add the cinnamon & clove baked ornaments, strung on twine. I hope this turns out, I've never had a tree like this.
I forgot to add, I'm using a bunch of rustic looking bells of various sizes & types. My star is from grapevine & I may use some lacy ribbon on the tree. I also plan to place candles within the garland on the hearth. Oh, and I'm guessing you didn't dehydrate your cranberries. That's what i came here. Instructions said it could take 30 hrs, but I'm on day 2....
Hi! That all sounds amazing. Isn't it fun to make your own decorations. It's so satisfying and beautiful. No I didn't dehydrate the cranberries. They kind of shrivel up on their own.
One recipe that I seen on another channel was they used applesauce nutmeg cinnamon... And clove I believe it was.... That's all they listed... But you could probably Google it to get all of it....

So glad you found me! And I feel so honored that you would use my video for inspiration. Sending blessings to Northern Scotland! 💚

Oh I bet it was wonderful! Old houses are so charming. Especially when they have been loved and cared for 💖
My Heart Ooooozes with Gratefulness For You!
One Can Tangibly FEEL The Presence of The Lord while Watching THIS
thank you Shawn!
Your farmhouse looks like one I almost bought back home in Southern Indiana! Nice. Really enjoyed your video!

@@jenilee.thepioneerhomeI do not have a dehydrator can I use the sun ? Or oven what's best thing to do
What is the shelf life of the dehydrated fruits and those leave and berries?
Lovely video. The natural really resinates with me. I also LOVED your nativity - is there a link?
Thank you. I would have to do some digging......
Looks absolutely beautiful !
What a wonderful video. Thank you for sharing.
Your welcome! Thanks for watching
Do you have a recipe for the bird ornaments you made? Thanks!
I honestly don't remember. I think I used a recipe on the internet for cut out ginger bread. And cooked them a till they were pretty hard.
Is there a recipe for the gingerbread ornaments ? Or i have clay too ?

This was a lovely video. I feel so inspired now. Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
