Thanks so much, Mark! I’ve been experimenting with how to make the thumbnails pop while keeping them true to the vibe of the channel, so I really appreciate hearing that they’re standing out. It’s always a balance of fun and function-what draws the eye but also represents the content well.
@@DrCrankyPantsReads I too fiddle with the thumbs [that don't sound right] ... and am never really happy with them. I just cannot bring myself to do the Edvard Munch pose too much, so obviously remain outside the room... ahh well.
Thank you! Glamour was such a staple-always full of fun, fashion, and just the right amount of advice. I used to read it when my babysitter Lori was with us-she’d always have two or three issues tucked in her bag when we went to the beach. Do you have a favorite issue or feature that stands out? Glamour definitely had those iconic moments that just stuck with you!
I love your wreath! I don't currently subscribe to any magazines, but maybe that's why I'm so drawn to certain RUclips channels that provide me with aspirational crafting content. Hand-sewn 17th-century ball gowns, anyone? I also think the reason cookbooks have pictures is to spark that same creative yearning. However, the best cookbook for actually making me a better cook and baker doesn't have any glossy pictures of the finished work at all, and that's Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. So what lights our imagination is different from what actually teaches us the process, but both are necessary. Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much! I love how you put that-aspirational content versus practical instruction. Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking is such a perfect example of that balance. Her words teach, while the imagination fills in the rest (though, let’s be honest, I sometimes want a photo to reassure myself I haven’t completely butchered the recipe). And yes, the same is true for crafting-I get so inspired watching those intricate projects, even if I’m sticking to hot glue and glitter chaos over here. Hand-sewn 17th-century ball gowns? Aspirational to the max! Merry Christmas to you as well, and happy creating!
Thank you! It was a fun (and glitter-filled) project that I am happy to have done but glad it's over. Save for some tweaks I'll make when I go to store it doe next year, that is.
I think your wreath looks terrific. And I feel your pain about no wreath having enough nooks and crannies. I did a variation on this wreath for a friend last Christmas. My brief was Anthropologie and not Martha. I ended up using Small Wooden house ornament miniature building Table Desktop Home Decor Nordic Style Kids Christmas gift Small Crafts and they worked great. 😁 Then the trees might have become wooden. And then a couple of animals showed up.
Thank you so much! I love that your Anthropologie-inspired wreath took on such a creative life of its own-wooden houses, trees, and even animals? That sounds absolutely delightful! I looked up the Anthropologie wreath, and you’re right-it’s definitely adjacent to this vibe. 😍 And I have to say, when you mentioned having a hard time hearing me on a previous video, I felt duty bound to make the sound as good as I possibly could this time around. So when I was troubleshooting the audio for this video (to no avail, sadly), I was absolutely thinking of you. Hopefully, I'll nail it next time! 😅
@@DrCrankyPantsReads I had no problems hearing you. A little ebb and flow but whatever. Over Black Friday I picked up some wooden house fairy lights and am almost tempted to try another wreath because those little houses make it seem a lot easier. Good luck with your future crafting.
@@DrCrankyPantsReads I'm trying to track down a photo. I know one exists of the gift recipient holding it up. I'm considering doing a version of the Light-Up Demi Village Wreath from Pottery Barn because in comparison it looks like a 45-minute project.

One thing for sure is how well your thumbnails stand out.

This wreath has also lived rent free in my brain! You've inspired me to finally commit. Planning on some up cycling. So exciting!!!
THIS IS OUR YEARRRRRRR! I am so glad I'm not the only one!
Can’t wait to see how it turns out!! 😍
@@dbprofesh PLEASE KEEP ME IN THE LOOP! I am all about supporting reading and craftiness!
Checking in - how's that wreath?
Wow! Also, my magazine of choice was Glamour😊

@ Is there a picture of this wreath somewhere? I am so curious how yours turned out!
