I love the beautiful photography in every segment. Whether your children, or the cat on the bed, or the dog resting so lazily on the sofa, every picture is a masterpiece.
Finally, a refreshing DIY deviation from the dozens tension rod/fake norfolk pine garland and HomeGoods/Marshalls hauls out there! I love how your stamps are atypical but still festive! Such unique perspective, THANK YOU!
The paper bag snowflakes!! What a simple, affordable, low-effort but big-impact decoration! Loooove.
Oh the beaded stars are a wonderful way to use up old beads! Love them!
Hi, I am a new follower. Love everything you shared. I live in PA and look forward to seeing more of your Christmas projects. Your daughtes are adorable and congrats on your new pregnancy. I will be praying everything goes well. I am 58 and grandmother to 5. I became disabled in 2000 and live in chronic pain. I enjoy watching the primitive and home DIY projects. Blessings~ Sandie
I just found your channel last night. I love your style. You are methodical and calming. Can’t wait to see more. I immediately researched your wooden stamps and shipped one to my daughter in Idaho. She’s an art teacher, mom, nature lover … she’s going to love it.
I’ve used stamps for years with cards, etc.
You have a beautiful earthy style. Can we go shopping together lol…. I love antiques & your home. ✌️
I have been using stamps for many years, very versatile. I made the paper snowflakes with my granddaughter last year and they were so lovely ! Also beautiful with white bags.
I absolutely love your dogs, so sweet ❤. I love the idea of using stamps to make your own wrapping paper. What a great idea!
Absolutely beautiful! I am looking forward to the next videos, thank you!
Girl you do you. Every length is fine. You just put out whats on your heart to do.
I just discovered your content this morning.
You have a gift in the way of bringing a wonderful, curated order to mind!
In a few days, I will be unboxing our Christmas history. I so appreciate finding you and your inspiration as I edit and style Christmas this year.
Over the years we have made our own gift wrap using stamps and various mediums.
One year, I wrapped all the gifts in plain paper. I then laid them out on a canvas drop cloth in our living room. The kids painted mountain forests on the packages. Before the packages dried, there was a light-snowing of clear glitter!
I am pleased to meet you, Ozark Dwellers!
I’m really enjoying your channel, your design style, and seeing your kids and furry kids!
Just discovered your channel and it is beautiful. Simple and lovely handmade projects, lovely daughter and don’t get me started on the pets! I look forward to your future videos.
Love your interior of your home would love to see the exterior with view of the mountains ❤ also love your fur babies!
I've made my own stamped paper before.. but the paper bag snowflake tutorial is new to me!! That is such a simple project but the finished result looks much more difficult to execute! Thank you for sharing this! Im definitely going to make some this year. I like the idea of even using the wrapping paper as tablecloths ..
I really enjoyed your tutorial on making the beaded star. I would enjoy seeing more diys and longer, once per week videos. 😊
Thank you! Will do!
New to your channel and really enjoy your content 😊. Years ago I did my own wrapping paper with cut potatoes that was fun too. And I have made those paper snowflakes before, and just an fyi, I had my grandsons with me and didn’t want them using the glue gun so we used a glue stick and to my surprise they stayed together well.
I cannot wait to see your nursery with stamps. I need inspo for mine!
Good afternoon from Toulouse (France),
As for videos, do what you like, it's your channel. Where your sensitivity and your personality are expressed.
Personally i like your sens of taste, making something new whis something old or doing things yourself, it's also what I like to do the most and why your channel speaks to me. See you in your next video. bye
So kind. Thank you very much, and grateful to have you 😊
Just found your channel and I adore it! I'm an artist from Norway. Love nature, natural materials and crafting - and I find your videos very inspiring! Very much like your long videos. Super calming and a treat to myself, to take the time to sit down and watch with a cup of coffee. Mant blessings to you and your family ❤
As you were stamping the paper, I thought that the mushroom stamp would look great on linen curtain panels. Your home is beautiful. I’m a new subscriber and I look forward to more of your videos on handmade items.
Ive just found your channel and I'm in the uk. Lovely home, lovely content and a lovely calm vibe. Thank you for a super chilled space to come to and being able to watch your makes. I can see you love your fur babies and children very much. Thanks for slowing me down during the crazy season.
Ok, on with my day of crafting ❤ blessings to you all
I loved the paper bag star . You could find white paper bags or paint or draw designs on the bags. Love it . Thank you
Great idea! I actually just did a few white ones. Love the painted idea. Thank you for your feedback!😊
Love your calico cat!
Hi! I am from Brazil and I just found out your channel and I am obsessed!! Please keep doing vídeos!
I like the shorter more frequent podcasts. If it’s going to run an hr I don’t have time to watch. Loved the bead star ☃️🙏
I just found you this morning and the feedback from me on your videos is this. I agree with a shorter intro. I love people like the Garden Answer who just do a blog type style (that may not be you). But, just take us along for what you are doing with styling projects. And more videos. Shorter is fine.
I love home made it is far better than shop bought
Thank you! Agree 😊
I just discovered you and love everything. Thank you for bringing ideas that are so different from everybody else. The colors, the textures, so beautiful. I will be happy with once a week or more often if you can……
So great! thanks so much!
Omg that was beautiful!!❤❤🎉
I came across your videos very interesting I adore vintage decor… I would love to see more of your home decor…
Thank you so much! I want to do a home tour sometime, but in my upcoming video you will see a little more of it.😊
Your calico kitty!!! 😍😍😻
Her name is Olive. She’s a fierce one. Keeps all the unwanted things away lol 😊
I thought your intro was just right! Long form video is great and posting as often is as good for you and your family is fine too. 🥰
I love your channel! This is my first time of joining you and I must say it is delightful. Looking forward to your next post. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Everything is so cute 😍😍 I need to get me those scissors 💖
Beautiful video, beautiful projects! I’m going to subscribe and watch past videos now. I’m going to share with my best friend that also enjoys making things.
Loving more and more the handmade, old fashioned Christmas decor over the Target plastic junk.
LOVE those bead starts, I’m going to have to try them.
Love your content , so relaxing . Reminds my of my childhood . Love longer video’s ❤️
I am so glad I found your channel! I adore your aesthetic and feel super inspired to bring some of this vibe to my home here in CA:). Looking forward to your future content.
your video is perfect in length and content, please go on 🥰
Enjoy this length of content!
I adore your content!!! Keep going! Weekly and about this length would be great for me but I will watch whatever you do.
Hello from Bunbury western Australia x x love
I absolutely love your channel! Everything about this video was beautiful. Your home. Your dogs. The cat. Your daughter. And you. I would love longer Videos!
Hello. I just discovered you and have subscribed. Looking forward to watching your older videos. 😊
Beautiful ideas for Christmas, thank you so much! I LOVE your dogs and cat too!
Thank you, Sally! Really appreciate you.❤
I would prefer longer weekly videos over shorter or more frequent. Your home is absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you so much! Good to know.😊
Hi!
I discovered your beautiful channel today with this video.
Regarding to the feedback asked: I personally enjoy very much the length of this video,the intro and the aesthetic.I think the pace is great and the type of crafts very inspiring and eco friendly.What' s the rush anyway?☺️As our attention spam gets shorter in our fast paced society,it is a great opportunity to work on that and enjoy slowing down (great for mama Earth too😉).
I think one a week is great,to give us time to try out some of your ideas too and feel inspired!
Thanks for the beautiful footage!
Happy holidays and cheers from France,
Athéna
Just caught your channel for the first time & I am loving the paper bag stars & the bead star especially. I prefer a shorter video with the crafts, as it's easier for me to keep track of which video to go back to when I wanto to recreate a craft. On the same note, instead of using the title to describe your channel, I prefer to have the title say what's in the video, like "Stamping Designs, Paper Bag Stars, & Bead Stars." That way, when I'm looking in my Christmas playlist, I can easily find the video I want. But for the house tours, a longer video is fine with me, very relaxing. Thanks for sharing!
You are very talented ❤
Lovely channel ! Just love your kitty Olive, so cute ❤ Best wishes from Cape Town South Africa
Hello captonian
I'm so happy that I found your channel. New subscriber :)
Hey there! Just found you. We’re also in the Ozarks! NW Arkansas. Just love your home and your DIY ideas.
Genius decorations. Thank you for sharing
You are so welcome! Thank you for your support. :)
@@OzarkDwellers btw I’ve shared video with four others. Again great video for those who like yo make their own decorations
Inspiring. I have tons of beads. Going to give this a try. Thank you
Thank you so much! Oh, good!! I’m so bad with tech, but if there is a way to share, I would love to see! Enjoy ❤
I just found your channel and I love the natural decorating as a artist it appeals to me. I
Myself I’d like shorter and more frequent videos…that way I can see more ideas when I spend time on You Tube.
I think I’ll buy beads and bang them up a little and stain them to look old. I think it might look ok…yours are very nice thou.
I took brown paper and tore pieces applying them with glue to my old plywood floor in my studio…..looks great.
Also as a past faux finish artist may I suggest you can take pieces of brown paper and apply it to walls or furniture and give it a leather look.
I’ve done many murals some 30 ft long 10 ft tall for restaurants…..loved it but I’m retired now….scaffolds are not easy to crawl onto…lol
From experience I would suggest that you ink your stamp by placing it rubber side up on the table ( or hold it). Then tap the ink pad on the rubber. You can then see if you have fully cover the stamp (it also keep the stamp edges cleaner). It may take a little longer to do this but the image will be “cleaner.” Just my two cents 😊
Great tip!
Your dogs are tooo cute!❤
Oh, thank you 😊
So excited to find your channel! I’m sure you’ll be a great success. 🎉👏🏻
Thank you so much!!
What a lovely idea: DIY wrapping paper! Also loved seeing the pups ❤ What kind of dog is the one that was laying on the couch in the beginning? So sweet!
Just came across your channel, and I love it, your kids are so beautiful and your dogs omg, I really love long vlog and I love every thing country and vintage. So excited to continue watching what and how you decorate for Xmas. 😊
Thank you so much!!
This video. Was. Just. Perfect. Lovely. Bead work. Congratulations. On your new little one❤
Thank you so much!
Cool content. I agree that there is a lot of photography with your adorable animals. More to the projects and shorter animal content. 😂 love how you strung the star so we could get the concept. Stamping paper is genius. Doing that this year too!
Thank you very much! Appreciate your feedback and you! 😊
Hello from France. So glad You Tube thought I might be interested in your videos. Love it! Will be watching the rest of your videos tomorrow and I am looking forward to see more.
Oh, I’m so glad to have you! Thank you 😊
Hello from central Texas love your videos I came across your channel yesterday so glad I did keep up the good work!
So kind and so glad to have you! 😊
Love your channel, new subscriber 🍁👍🏻
I loved this! I really resonate with your desire to make these special items yourself!
If I can offer some feedback, I loved the length and I don’t mind only one post a week, I would just suggest a shorter intro, and maybe showcasing a little summary for the first 30 sec?
Also sharing where to find the products you’re using, or offering alternatives?
And lastly, please introduce your pets! Every time you showed them I thought you might share something about them and they are just too cute to not be introduced ❤️
Keep up the beautiful work!
PS. Your table has inspired me to try tackle my farmhouse table which has an ugly yellow varnish and I want to sand it down to make it look just like yours!
I have just stumbled onto your channel while searching for unusual handmade Christmas decor and I fell in love immediately. Love this type content, though I loathe the words "high-end", something doesn't have to be high end to be gorgeously beautiful and desirable. I see it used so much on here and just feel it's over-rated. Your content will stand on it's own, give it time and I believe you will reach high subscriber numbers. And, as for frequency and length, I think between 15 - 30 minutes is good. Anything longer than that could cause boredom, unless you are giving detailed instruction on a lengthy project.
I look forward to seeing what you create, as I am certain it will bring inspiration to anyone looking for off the beaten path crafts and diys.
The stars you created with beads are stunning, I will be trying my hand at making some for myself and to give as gifts.
So glad to hear! Really appreciate the feedback and you! 😊
I am using the IOD puppy and kitten stamps on my wrapping paper this year.
So fun!!
Thank you
You're welcome
I just found your channel! It looks like you’re in the beginning stages of your UA-cam journey. You’re going to crush it!! Love the Comte and can’t wait to see where you go from here. 😊
So kind. Thank you so so much, and grateful to have you! 😊
Enjoyed your video very much and your crafts are lovely. I have subscribed so will now blitz through previous ones I haven’t seen and look forward to the next one too. Thank you for sharing. Following from UK ❤
Thank you so much!
New sub...love your style looking forward to the next video
Welcome! Thank you so much, and grateful to have you! 😊
Delighted to have discovered your channel! (Subscribed!) Congratulations and best wishes for continued success and increased viewership. I'd prefer longer content, weekly, but I think the most important thing is to make the process sustainable for you and your family. I know consistency is crucial for the UA-cam algorithms and to manage expectations of your viewers, but avoiding burnout is even more important. Again, my thanks and best wishes!
Thank you so much!
Love your home and ideas! New subscriber here!
Oh, thank you! So grateful to have you!😊
I want to see how you make your garland!
Stay tuned 😊
💗💗👏👏👏
Long format please!🙂
❤
Hi I absolutely loved your blog it was so refreshing and relaxing I’d like to see how you would dress your dinning table for eather thanksgiving or Christmas dinner thankyou so much 😘
Oh, thank you! I love that. I will for sure do that! 😊
@@OzarkDwellers 😘
Hello from WA state!
Fun video.
Can you tell me where you got the metal stars that were laid out as you made the beaded ornaments?
I would prefer weekly videos with longer content. The table you were working on is beautiful. Do you sell any of your gorgeous things you make. Thank you,
I prefer 15-25 minute videos over the longer ones.
Hi, I am new here and excited to follow! I love learning new things. I have used stamps for a few things but hadn’t thought of wrapping paper! Fantastic idea! If I may ask a few questions, you spoke of sizzers, do you mean to cut out this many bags we will need an extra strong type of sizzler? Next, as I watched you string the beads to make the adorable stars, you mentioned thread, on the video, it may have been a trick of light but it looked like nylon fishing line? If I am correct, is that because it is less likely to tangle or break?
I can’t wait for your next video! Thank you for sharing the knowledge that you have gained with us!
I love watching your video. Your ideas and creativities were very interesting. I would prefer for a longer video that maybe can be produced like once a week? Thanks!
Thank you, Sylvia! Thank you for the feedback!
@@OzarkDwellers You’re welcome😃
What a fun video! Love the look of handmade!!! Where did you get those scissors at? Can’t wait for more crafting videos! A few shorter ones a week would be great!
Thank you so much!! I got them off of Etsy. I would search artisan made scissors. If I can find the link I’ll provide it. :)
Can you please tell me where you got the mushroom stamp? Thank you!
Hi Jessie, I am so glad your video just popped up on my menu, I really enjoyed it - I’ve subscribed now too and look forward to your next video. I too, would love them longer and would much prefer to hear your voice in your tutorials rather than music. Love your crafts and it’s lovely to see your daughter is so interested too. You have adorable furries too! I thought at first your black and white dog was a Bearded Collie (I am mum to one called Flora) but I think it might be a BGV? Congratulations on your baby news. Sheena (uk) ❤
Can you share the green color of your kitchen cabinets please?❤❤❤
Hi there! I have been asked quite a few times. Let me see if I can find it and get back with you. 😊
@@OzarkDwellers yes please I’ll be waiting super excited I Wally’s love to paint my babies room that color! Thank you
What kind of paper did you use for your wrapping paper?
Hello! I am new to this channel, enjoyed it so far, thank you for your time and gifts. I just picked up a leather string of old sleigh bells. The leather is very brittle. Any thoughts on making them more better😂
Thank you so much, and glad to have you! I would look up some sort of leather reviver. They have products that I believe are oil based and may help bring a little life back. I love those btw. 😊
@@OzarkDwellers Thanks, I’ll look for some!
I like the mushroom stamp... where might one purchase it?
Thank you! Englishstamp.com 😊
I just found your video and enjoyed it so much. May I ask where I can find the wide wrapping paper and those delightful stamps please? I look forward to purchasing them for this holiday season. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I don’t know if you have a local hobby lobby, but they have really good sized paper that is affordable. If not, Amazon is a great place, but it can be more expensive because of the size. Just make sure and check the dimensions. The stamps are from English stamp.com. Good luck! 😊
@@OzarkDwellers We do have a Hobby Lobby nearby. Thank you for replying.
Where did you get the pattern for the knitted Christmas stocking? I would love to get a copy! That is something I really want to make! Thank you!
Thank you! I actually adjusted it a bit so it may be a little different. The pattern is from Knit Collage (Their yarn is so good too). 😊
Hello, I’m new to your channel. I subscribed. 😊 I love your kitchen cabinets. Did you paint them? If so, what color did you use? And I love the paper stamping idea. Very clever!
Thank you! So thankful to have you! 😊 We did. :) We actually built the house about three years ago. You aren’t the first one to ask. I’ve got to find the color. When I do, I will let you know.😊
@@OzarkDwellers It’s no wonder many are asking about the paint color because it is gorgeous! That’s wonderful that you built your home. It’s very beautiful. ♥️♥️
Did I miss it or where do we find that fox stamp?
I really like this! If I can give a bit of feedback, the intro is way too long, we didn't get into the topic of the video until after 3min. You might lose people that way. I would give a shorter intro and then give more info/appeal to subscribe/like, etc halfway or at the end of the video.
Thanks so much for watching! Definitely will take that into consideration.😊
@@OzarkDwellers really liked this, will certainly watch the other ones and subscribe!
I will also agree with this. I love the content that you have, but it's a bit drawn-out. I start losing interest when thing's move too slowly. You have an exceptional eye for design. Best of everything to you and your family!!
I love your intro!!! It was beautiful and I appreciate the animals included!! For crying out loud skip it if you don’t like it!
There is an option to watch it in faster speed, if your in a hurry.
What is the pattern for the knit stocking??
