    I just want to say that I love you all and thank you so much for supporting me. I cant put into words what it means to me.
    Also, what colors are you decorating with for Christmas this year?

      @jcrefasi1 3 года назад

      I'm using white, dark red and 5 shades of green this year. Bought some supplies to make some new ornaments. Making a Scandinavian inspired rustic theme. Tiny gnome ornaments only slightly bigger than 2in tall are turning out really cute

      I don't use specific colors, just all the colors, lol! I love red, green and metallics, but really use it all.

      Love this! I am loving the blush trend, so I want to do soft greens and pinks this year. I usually do the traditional red and green, but this year calls for something different. 😊

      Maroon and gold on my tree. Otherwise, just old decorations that mean nothing to anyone else and mean the world to me. Traditional colors mostly.

    The texture you created with the drywall compound looked like wood. I kept thinking a light layering of sepia tones would look like wooden planters. But then, I saw the finished project and white was the better choice. They look like expensive decorative trees. Great job! I am learning so much from you. Thank you for sharing your talents. Your efforts for a forgotten group of young people is very important and you do it justice.

    Somebody chucked a tree in a box out in my street last year around October, they were doing a clearance. It was new, 6ft, and became our Christmas tree, looked so great with our ornaments. I also got a standing shelf and cushions from that skip!

    Hey Cory! Another great makeover! They look really gorgeous and very expensive on yr hearth!
    Re: pet sweaters, I live in the deep south and people put sweaters on their small dogs when they go out to walk/potty them when it's around the 40's outside. Which is only a for few weeks. Friends with small dogs leave them in sweaters until it gets back to the 60's. I have 3 indoor only cats and they hate the cold. They have a "cat cave" I crocheted for the oldest years ago. Now they all 3 try to squeeze into it together lol. They also have blankets to hide under lol. I keep my temp set on 65-68° in winter so they are always mad at me. 😠

    What a difference from the way you found them. I never find trees like that. Once in a while I’ll see a large one by the curb after Christmas but much too big for my small home

    • @DesertDIY
