    Congratulations to Allie & Logan for being in the adoption process. May our good Lord BLESS them with baby/ies / child/ren 💝. A warm neck wrap sounds delightful TOO.

    Oh Mary,how lovely! The best thing about this is when you’re done there’s no need to box it all up to store. Also, I love the fact if more people did something like this less money would be spent at the big box stores,and would go to small businesses & one’s community. What a way to honor bringing a baby home for a beautiful couple. I’m ordering a neck wrap today! Blessings to you and yours Mary. Your videos are always full of beautifully inspiring ideas that don’t cost hardly a thing. ♥️🌲💫

    Mary, your ideas are so inspirational! Whenever I feel stagnant in my decor I immediately go to your channel. I am a prim person as I think I mentioned before and I'm starting to go more white and I just feel like it lifts me spiritually!!Your mantle needs to be on a cover of a "Using Naturals in Decorating!".

    Mary, this is lovley and the fact that you didn't spend money on it is a good lesson for us all. A tip to make things last a bit longer is to spray the decidous elements with cheap hair spray from the dollar store. That is a trick from an art teacher. You can still do this in place if you don''t mind the spray getting on your mantle. Thank you for sharing.

      Where I live in Canada we have four distinct seasons, always. My sister and I phone each other every year when the first snow falls and then we laugh and plan our trip into the woods for our Christmas tree and make a day of it. It is the most magical time of the year and my favorite time for evening walks. Vicki...don't let anyone rain on your snowy dreams!!! 🤗❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄Take care, God bless.

    Lovely! I didn’t have time to watch so I cheated & skipped ahead. I’ll go back later to watch the whole video. I loved how you placed the blanket so gently around your kitty. Mine would have jumped up, ran off & came back later to snuggle with the blanket - not me. Lol.

    Mary, 3m Command Cord Bundlers would come in handy for securing the branches without having to hammer in nails. I don’t know how long they’ve been around, I just found out about them a few days ago. I think they are brilliant.
    I love the wind swept look of the branches and greenery on the mantle. Beautiful as always!

    Mary, that is really beautiful. If you use a fine mister, they should last well during Christmas. I love how your cat just becomes part of the decor. My cat would tear that all down. My cat will eat any plant, so I have to stay with artificial. However, he does not bother any decorations or the tree. The snow looked so pretty.

    Well your Christmas decorating with a cat is looking different to mine. We have two kitties. They'll be 2 years old in March. As I was putting decorations around the mantle etc, the two of them were systematically knocking them down to the floor again followed by a wrestling match with a santa and a penguin!!! Little divils. They're just lucky I love them so much.
