I'm favoured, $60K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America ❤️❤️❤️
Wow that’s huge, how do you make so much in a week
I'm 37 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??
I earn from investing in the digital market with the guidance of Elizabeth Marie Hawley Brokerage services...
After I got upto 300K trading with Mrs Elizabeth Hawley. I bought a new House and I'm now able to send my kids to a better school in the states thanks to mrs Elizabeth. When someone is straight forward with what he or she is doing people will always speak up for them.
Wow wow please is there a way to reach there services, I work 3 jobs and trying to pay off my debts for a while now!! Please help me
You never cease to amaze me!!! That village is totally awesome and made with very little expense. Just lots of imagination, nimble fingers, and a couple of tools to help. God truly blessed you and gave you a gift. Bless you dear woman. ❤️
Thank you very much! You are so sweet, Nora! 😊
I agree!
Everything looks marvelous! I love the mailbox!
Wow your tiered wood village is magnificent! Way better looking than the $300 inspiration!!! Now you’ve got my wheels turning. I think I’ll make your upright wreath idea for a centerpiece. The mailbox was so clever as well as the book and radio! Thank you for a wonderful inspirational Monday! ☃️🦌🎄🎁🍪🎅🏼🔔⛪️
I agree
Thank you, Bren! I think when you say “now you’ve got my wheels turning” that is the BEST compliment of all!
@@CanterburyCottage i’ll have to share with you what I end up doing. I’ll send it to you on Instagram.🎄🦌☃️
Oh Sherry! You made my heart smile so much with your little villages! When my sons were little they loved two ceramic houses I made while taking ceramics classes. They were mesmerized by them with their little bridges and streams. Now my grandson is just like his Dad. I loved them all so much! I may have to dig those little houses out of storage and give them a new chapter by adding snow! Thank you so much for reminding me again of how the "little things" really are the big things!😊
Oh, yes, I’m sure your grandson will love those little houses (and they will stir some memories for your son, too)! 🥰
I can't pick a village that I like best because they're all so beautiful.
Sherry your heart must be so full with all of the people who love your mind, talent and kindness you bring to us. I truly admire you as a crafter and the beautiful person that you are. ❤
Our Dear Ms. Sherry: They are all lovely, but the wreath-village- candle holder: chef's kiss!!
Absolutely gob-stopping!
Oh, thank you! 🥰
I loved seeing all your ideas. I made a more primitive version using small cardboard boxes and utilized small limbs off of a tree that died on our property this year. I made a cabin village. I used the petal pieces of pinecone as the roof shingles. I put led tealights in the bottom of each one so they will light up. I used empty tp rolls formed into cones and used the petal pieces of the pine cones to make trees. Painted them green like all the beautiful pine trees we have on our property. I love that I was able to use treasures from our little piece of heaven.
Oh, Carolyn, that sounds just lovely!!! It must have taken hours to “shingle” those roofs (but so worth it, I’m sure)!
I would like to see a picture of Carolyn's village maybe you could show some subscribers efforts after being inspired by you. I am sure it would be popular.@@CanterburyCottage
My favorite was the mailbox diorama! Inspired by your original idea, in addition I think it would also be cute to add a few Christmas cards sticking out of their envelops somewhere on the mail box or inside of it to sort of keep the theme of it being a mail box where one would receive said Christmas cards.
I really liked the mailbox and the radio diaroramas...such neat ideas❤ I have used the balsam houses as well in my Xmas decorating but not to your extent...gets me thinking🤫
The Balsam Hill inspired village is amazing. Well done 👏🏼
Thank you! 😁
Sherry, all of these villages are adorable - only because of how you put them together!!
Oh, thank you! 😊
Sherry, you are AMAZING !!! WOW, each village is awesome ! I have never been a big fan of Christmas villages, but yours have definitely changed my view !
Thank you so much!
I liked the book, the mailbox, and the radio best but then I’m a kid at heart and I love a diorama. I always think “oh I could do that!” in my Dad’s old toolbox or an old cheese box, but the likelihood is slim. I do so love watching you do it and appreciate that you show us your “oops!” moments, too.
Thank you! I adore dioramas!!! When my boys had school projects that involved creating shoebox dioramas, I was always more than happy to help! 😜
You are my cheap hero!! I cannot abide most prices and watch RUclips for ideas and you NEVER disappoint. Your stash is astonishing. I don’t get many Christmas cards anymore, but your use of them is inspirational. The book idea might be my favorite but I fear if I tried to replicate it there might be a disaster.
Oh, thank you, Susan! I would recommend using little houses with holes in the back, and you’ll be fine! 😜
If I could hit the like button a million times I would. These were phenomenal. Your tiered village was better than the original.
You’ve done it again! You have managed to be so creative and do unusual projects that are within most everyone’s reach! I just love your style!
As usual you have outdone yourself. The radio looks like an old fashioned Tv. We use to make Diaramas using loaves of uncut bread, Cut out the middle of the loaf leaving an opening oval big enough to fit what you wish in your scene. Mini trees, snowmen, small mirror or a pond, let the loaf dry out before placing chalking for snow sprinkle with glitter or fake snow. Tie a ribbon around and display on a breadboard. You can make a doll house room, gingerbread house, mini kitchen, fairy garden or whatever you want. Leave the loaf plain or paint with a clear coat like Mod Podge. You can bake your own loaf or pick some up at a bakery. Thanks for sharing, Sherry!
WOW!! Oh my goodness Sherry you are amazing!! My grandsons would love all your amazing villages! Very detailed and makes your imagination run wild! In a good way!😊 I can tell you are a teacher by your wonderful projects. You are awesome!!! Thanks for sharing. Praying the Lord will continue to bless you and your family. ❤
OMGOSH I can’t even begin to tell you how awesome and beautiful all of those Christmas Villages were. You are so gifted. I think this is my favorite video ever.
Last year, inspired by one of your projects, I made my brother a village using birdhouses. I placed it on a large wood slab from Hobby Lobby. I even had enough space to put in a Christmas tree lot using tiny bottle brush trees. 😊 Every year I display a village I made for my dad, many years ago, using plaster paint-your-own buildings from Michael's. While I don't have space for your fabulous 3 tiered village I'll keep it in mind for my other brother. And the cute wreath village would make a beautiful centerpiece. You come up with the most amazing ideas Sherry. ❤
I’m an author so the book idea really impressed me! I have downsized and haven’t taken my village out since I moved because I felt I had no room. Now I can display it again. Thanks for your creative ideas!
I’m so glad you liked this idea, Cathy!
I’m only halfway through but your creativity amazes me. (Late day today for me- I try to watch the moment you come on.) You make everything beautiful and in a time-crunch, too! Thank you, thank you for all you do for us. I have so much admiration and express it less eloquently than I’d like to but you are appreciated. As ever you are the Queen of Decordom.
BOOM!! Out of the ballpark!! These 5 villages are absolutely amazing!! TFS
All your villages are so awesome. So much better than what you could buy in the store. Your village is much nicer than the Balsam Hills one.🎄
How perfectly charming your Christmas villages are! The Balsam Hill dupe is spectacular.
I love how you keep things budget friendly. Always amazed me on how you can take things people wouldn't even touch and turn them in something amazing and creative.
Love love love these little Christmas villages. The mailbox and tiered village are gorgeous.
Oh, thank you, Sally! 😊
You are the queen of the crafting world 🌍 You have truly got the talent to do anything.
Oh, Tracy, you are so very sweet! 🥰
Sherry, you truly are an inspiration. I was set to say your $300 dupe was my favorite but then you went and put a Church in the mailbox.❤❤❤ I also love the clock radio. Quite frankly I always love it when you outdo yourself. Thank you so much for all you do. God bless you.❤
I was surprised at how cute the second wooden village turned out! ADORABLE. But I would have garbaged it up with froufrou because if there’s no glitz on everything, I can’t sleep at night. AND, I would have tried to make the buildings myself and the project would have languished for years in my craft room. Well done, Sherry!
I was just thinking about all the different versions we could create. Maybe we should have a Christmas Eve online 'party' where she shows viewers renditions of her ideas. I like the pastel 'sugarplum fairy' colors.
Thank you! 😊 I had to constrain myself with that village because I always think more is better, too!
I can't stand how much I love ❤ your little village!! That little bridge is the epitome of you!! Everything is just so clever. 😂
Thank you so much, Lynn!😊
I loved all of them. My favorite was the radio.
Sherry, I loved your villages with a special fondness for the mailbox village! My heart is full with your wonderful Christmas crafting! Thank you!!🎄🏠
The first one was so magical, but they all were filled with creativity! As I age my Christmas villages and other decor have become tired, you have inspired me with ideas to update and incorporate them into scenes! Blessed holidays!
Loved the wreath village...AND ... the clock village....AND ... really loved them ALL... THE large wooden village is a work of art....you should be SO PROUD of that one....!!!! it's a true labor of love for crafting and DIYing...Blessings for the Season ❤😊
Oh, thank you, Barb! I was really pleased with how the wooden village turned out! 😊
Sherry once again you have outdone yourself. I love each and every village!
Each and every one can be stored and pulled out year after to enjoy again.
Santa and his reindeer would look great on top of the old radio village. ❤❤
Hi Sherry, these villages are all fantastic!! I can't pick a favorite; they are all so charming. You have an endless supply of creativity and I'm always a fan of your work. 😄😄😄
Thank you so much! You are so sweet! 😊
I don’t know how I miss this diy because I always look for your videos. I have collected small houses and you have given me so many ideas.Thanks so very much,Terri
My favorite project was the large wooden village. Absolutely beautiful.
Thank you so much! I am really pleased with how it turned out, too!
I couldn't possibly pick a favorite, I love them all!❤
I love the depth the clock radio has with the picture behind the houses. You are incredible.
Hi Sherry, the letterbox village was my favourite, because the contained space for the lights made it glow so nicely.
I love the clock radio diorama Christmas scene!!! You always have the most creative ideas!
Just spectacular!!! I cannot choose just one. They were all gorgeous and could be something you could pass down to your children and then their children. Oh to have half of your skill and imagination. Bravo Sherry.
Thank you so much! You are so very sweet!
Wow!!!! Your first project with a book for your house base is so neat!
.And of course, your clock radio creation is super cool.
Well, I've never seen mailbox or radio villages, and I have to say that I'm impressed...except I keep hearing the dogs barking "Jingle Bells" when I look at the radio! I didn't think the book village would work out, but it's really cute. Your fireplace village is way cuter than Balsamic Hill's. And your wreath village is cuter than Martha Stewart's. Your cleverness is amazing!
Awesome Sherri!! Love them all!!
Maybe the wreath but the radio and the mailbox and that large village you just nailed it!!
I love all the villages but my favorite is the wooden one!!! You did a great job !
Always clever ideas here SHerry - thanks for sharing some fun new ways to display our Christmas villages!!!
So beautiful, all of the village are enchanting but the Balsam village dupe is just fantastic. I love your attention to detail. You’re so talented.
Thank you so much 😊
Not only was your balsa village less expensive, it was so much cuter! I had my doubts about the wreath while you were constructing it, but I think it's my favorite. I love the deep woods feel of it with all the different greenery. Thank you as always!
Thank you! 😊
Your creativity knows no bounds. I was without words when I saw that radio village! So unique and definitely one of a kind. But I think my absolute favorite was the fireplace village. Who needs a roaring fire when you can have that beautiful lit up festive cheerful village to look at throughout the winter time. Outstanding job!❤❤❤
I cannot believe how talented and creative you are! Your Balsam Hill village dupe was better than the "real" thing! I would much prefer yours. 😊
Love the fireplace dupe. I am inspired by this to remove the 'innards' of a broken small electric freestanding fake woodstove to insert a village inside. I will probably donate it after the holidays, since I have a tiny apartment. But creating it will be so much fun! Thanks for inspiring us. I think you are clever to post videos on Monday. Makes Monday fun. Instead of being tired and grumpy, you put a smile on our face and uplift us with your creativity. Thanks so much. ❤
Oh, Serena, I love the idea of making over an electric fireplace. I wish I had thought of that! I’ll have to remember this for next year!!!❤️
@@CanterburyCottage
"Wood stove."
Oh my goodness Sherry! Every single one of these is amazing! That mailbox totally blew me away! The wreath is amazing, and the book is fabulous! So many great ideas for a village, and I'm just trying to decide what one to try! Sherry, your imagination is wonderful, and I just love your channel. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us. You never ever cease to amaze me!
Oh, thank you, Valerie! I’m so glad that you enjoyed today’s video. ☺️
Sherry, I love all your little villages, they are adorable. It’s so hard to pick a favourite but I think it’s going to be the first one and also the mail box, it’s so hard to choose a favourite though. You are such a talented person. TFS.
I can't pick a favorite. They're all so unique and beautiful. You are so creative. ❤
Good afternoon, Sherry! I adore Christmas villages! So excited to see your beautiful & unique village diys. Thank you for inspiring! ❤, Bobbie xoxo. P.S. Oh my goodness!!! They all turned out beautifully! My most favorite has got to be the large wooden dupe & the clock radio. Brilliant ❤❤❤❤❤
Good afternoon, Bobbie! Thank you so much! It’s supposed to be in the 60’s tomorrow, so I am going to try to get some outdoor decor up. Then, I’ll start inside.
Wow, you are SOOOO impressive!!! Love your "Balsam Hill" creation especially!!! Always love everything you create! You make me feel useless😂😅😂😅
The wooden Christmas village is my absolute favorite. The wreath Christmas village is so unique and the village inside the mailbox is really thinking "outside the box". You are amazing!! Now, I want to make a Christmas village and I was never interested in doing one before. Thank you for the inspiration!
Loved, loved, loved them all!!! But my favorite was the large houses tiered on the wood. You inspired me to try a winter scene for my fireplace for after the holidays. Thank you for sharing your creativity.
WOW Sherry you have outdone yourself! That wooden village is amazing. Even though I watched you do it, I still have no idea how you made it look so good. I just love watching you create ❤
HI Sherry! I got the two things I purchased from you today. I adore them, you always make the cutest things. It is so very hard to pick one when I love them all. I look forward to every Monday, it's like being a kid again anxious to see what's in store for us. Thank You so much for all the work you put into every video. God Bless. Hugs, Rebekah
I am so glad you enjoy my videos, Rebekah! I really appreciate your loyal support! You are such a sweetheart!
You amaze me every week. Your patience, attention to detail & little extras compete every project and they all look fantastic! I loved the wooded houses, but I think the mailbox was my favorite!
The first one is so cute! It looks like a pop-up book.
Your spirit brings J0Y to us each week Sherry! And I also sense your heart is filled full with J0Y to create Christmas decorations we'll all love and enjoy with our family's! What great ideas and so very well made that give me cozy feeling just looking at each one. You are such a joy and thank you for all your hard work...I'm so impressed with all your designs just amazing!!
I loved all the villages. My granddaughters watched with me they were mesmerized.
Your mind is the most creative of all my favorite RUclipsrs. I can have some great ideas but zero follow through since after my workday or workweek-I have ZERO energy or desire to start a project. Maybe I'll hit that Lottery one day and I can get some fun things done at home! Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and projects with us!❤️
I loved all the Christmas villages as each one was really awesome. My heath crapped out at age 67 which was my last hospital stay a few weeks ago so it has been hard for me and our record snowfall has not helped my disposition. Your videos really help and I thank you for being who you are. 😊😊😊😊😊
Sherry, you constantly amaze me with your unlimited and inventive imagination. I just don’t think my brain works this way, but I am happy to try to copy some of yours if that’s okay with you. I am unable to do crafts at the moment for various reasons, but so look forward to next year following you and your wonderful imagination. I think the reason I like your channel better than some of the others is that you always try to be as economical as you can. If you need to buy things you get them at the best price and tell us where. I live on the other side of the Atlantic and also live on an island in the English Channel called Jersey that is only7x9 miles . Our selection is somewhat limited and expensive. You give me hope to keep going .
I love all the villages including the bird house one you did last year. Thank you. Have a wonderful Christmas Season when it arrives!!
Thank you for all your lovely comments, Deborah! 😊 I have never heard of Jersey, but I just looked it up. It certainly looks like an absolutely wonderful place to live even if things are hard to find and expensive. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas as well!
The mailbox is adorable!! The radio is cute too. My favorite is the second one!!
Thanks for including some villages that are small for those with limited room as well as of course a small budget as well!
Absolutely!😊
All unique, but my favorite was the all wood houses! We’ll done, Sherry!
Your fireplace village is way better looking.❤. I absolutely love the book village. I must say you never cease to blow my mind. Ok so the clock radio village is now my favorite 😅. 😊❤
Oh thank you, Margaret! I’m so flattered that you liked these! 😊
@@CanterburyCottage I love them. Mailbox, book, lol, they never crossed my mind. 😍🥰❤️
The little village is adorable.
Each village is fabulous…if I have to choose it would be the one in the fireplace.❤
The Christmas Village is fabulous and I'm sure it will be cherished for many Christmases to come. Thank you for sharing your talent and inspiration. Enjoy the coming holidays!
Your wooden villiage is stunning! It looks so much better than the expensive inspiration piece.😊
Love the mailbox Village
Your village is prettier than the Balsam Hill one. You are so talented.
The wreath one is my favorite. I might actually make that one. I love the tiered one, too!
Wow, the one in our fireplace is just amazing!!!
Amazing, as always!! The balsam hill one was really awesome, but I think I want to make the mailbox village!! I have a HUGE old mailbox that I've been holding on to, now I know what to use it for! 🎄
Oh, I’m so glad I could share an idea for your old mailbox! 😊
Well Sherry, you did it again….. you just blew me away with your magical creative touch of Christmas villages. There’s no way to pick a favorite as I felt they were all magnificent.
Now I’m kicking myself for getting rid of all my Christmas village houses n churches. Oh well, I can start over collecting them once again. I loved them all!
♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍🌟🌟🌟
I create small towns with mini houses all year thru out my home, so I can tell you i am going to create all 5 of these for Christmas.....I had no idea Amazon had these tiny houses....what Fun !! Thank you so much for sharing these ideas, 😍☺
All of these are so cute! My favorite might be the mailbox one... or the radio one... or... nope, can't decide.
I think, though, that this season I'm going to be making a village similar to the one you made from birdhouses last year. I love them all.
You continually inspire me with your creativity and ability to turn something into something totally new and outside the box. I love every one of the house projects in this video. The mailbox one you made a few years ago has always been a favorite. My husband replaced a mailbox at work and brought me the old one home to recycle. It is a large rural mailbox so I can get more houses in it. I absolutely LOVE it. I can't wait to get it out to decorate this week. But I love the book scene and radio scene as well. And my son's new house I can see the wooden assembled houses sitting on his fireplace!! Just beautiful. Thank YOU
Oh, thank you, Sandie! I would love to see your mailbox! One of my husband co-workers gave me two old mailboxes, and it was one of hers that I used in that video. She really loved how it turned out and asked if she could have it back! (I happily gave it back to her!)
Even though using Department 56 pieces made my Villager heart cringe, the results of all your villages are amazing! Very creative and invoke that sense of nostalgia and magic, which is why I love village-ing in the first place. Lovely video and very inspiring! ❤
I had so much fun creating a mailbox village. Thank you for the inspiration!
First village was great with the small figurines. 😊
Your creativity never ceases to impress me. I’m absolutely amazed by the things you back gorgeous as always.
Thank you so much, Janice!
I was so looking forward to this video! I have enjoyed the previous Christmas house videos from past years, so was hoping for one this year as well! I can not pick a favorite! The first one with the book village, I absolutely knew was going to be my choice, until I saw the second one. Then the mailbox village was shown, and I was so indecisive that I decided to like them all. It was very coincidental that for the village wreath, I was laughing to myself that there was no ice skating rink in the center! Then, sure enough, ice rink in the mailbox! The dupe of the village is incredible. I preferred yours!
Oh, thank you so much, Jeanne-Marie! 😊
They were all beautiful, but the tiered village was my favorite.
I love all things miniature, especially diorama, so I really enjoyed this video. My hands-down favorite is the beautiful mailbox.
The mailbox was my favorite!
EXCELLENT job, as always, Sherry! I LOVE your version of the Balsam Hill village; yours is even BETTER!!! The wreath village is adorable as well! You're SUCH a creative and clever girl! BLESSINGS to you! ❤💚
I love them all, but the mailbox was a favourite. 🏡🎄
Love, love the wooden village and the wreath village..all your ideas are amazing..you give me such great ideas..thank you so much!!
You are so welcome! Thank you!
