You should do a CVS vlog how to get those deals 😊. Yes, those Nutcracker were so pretty. If I could, I would get a couple. Enjoy your day. I look forward to the next one.
Yes, yes you should get the nut crackers. I'm glad to hear someone say they are tired of the neutral Christmas. I have always loved the reds and all the bright colors. The neutrals are pretty for others, just not me.
My encouragement (?) I use when I want something that seems pricey is " but I'll use it for yrs. so I'll get my money's worth". :-) Love those santa suits. I framed a bag one year and hung it on my porch.
Hi Genevieve. I love the round tins,all three of them!!Love the idea of hanging the Santa jackets on a rope or heavy twine in your laundry room!!Also,the idea of cutting pictures on a bag to frame is a fun way to decorate also!!I have done that with cards,vintage cards are nice for framing and displaying!I can't wait to see more!!!Claire will be mesmerized when she sees the tree and lights and a lit village,OMG!!!😁🤶🎄🎅❤
Also, you should do a small tree in Claire's room. She will love it and look forward to having her very own tree and seeing the lights as she goes to sleep. I did for my son and later in life he told me how he always loved it. I used what is considered a vintage tree now that I made in ceramics. When he told me that, I gave it to him.
Some great finds, DG always has great items..❤❤❤ the Santa pic idea…I’ve been searching for a Santa pic, with no luck; now I’m going to shop for gift bags and make my own…😅 thanks for the idea! 🎄
Thank you so much! If you can, try another one if it’s local enough. It’s bizarre how two stores 20 mins apart sell way different/better things! My local store stinks lol
I also put small lighted and decorated trees in my boys room. I let them decorate them. Then I did same with my grandchildren. One of my favorite Christmas pictures that I have used for many years is a Christmas card I received from a friend. I loved it and she had said it was going to be her last year for sending cards. She has passed on, but I always think of her when I get that picture out. Nice haul from DG.
Me, too - I made a family photo gallery in my dining room so we could all look at pictures when we have holiday dinners, especially - I mostly had all the frames hoarded when I started & I had painted them with blended colors to go with my decor - I get a lot of oohs & ahhs over them & brings back memories of those no longer with us
Your explanation of the pride in your last name is so sweet. I am sure your husband is very proud of you. My dad had a massive alcohol addiction and my sister, and I were treated like we had the same disease. I had no pride in my last name I just wanted to be known by my first name.
I just love how you are decorate in traditional colors for Claire ❤ And you make me want to go to Dollar General tomorrow!! Last year was the first time I started getting Nutcrackers!! I love them 🎄🦌🎁
Can’t wait till your next videos. Looking forward to some crafty videos. Happy to hear there’s still some that wait till after Thanksgiving to start decorating for Christmas this year it’s kind of hard because Thanksgiving is late.!!!
Hi Genevieve and Claire ❤ u are so right I didn't think I would love the nutcracker but I just went to Ross and they had some cute nutcracker cookie jars always Laura ❣️
I went onto The Graphics Fairy and downloaded the same vintage Santa’s last night and framed them into vintage frames they are stunning! Just another idea for you.
Here in Idaho we don't have a Dollar General, your other Santa head you should place it on Poster board or card stock paper on a Large Tongue depressor from the Dollar Tree a put in your Hutch...Idaho
@ haha 🤣🤣 I miss cvs with their extra bucks thing! It makes buys the fun things easier to justify 😅 We don’t have where I live now. Only the pharmacy inside target
We do not have Dollar General here where I live in Ontario canada. All we have is Dollarama and Dollar Tree and they don't have nearly what you are showing from the Dollar General in your area. You are so lucky!
Yes the nutcracker is cute, I saw him there, I get a lot of cute things at Dollar General ,love it. I go to CVS too a lot. I have the extra bucks, I get tons of good deals there. I have the rewards I pay 5.00 a month get to spend 10.00 a month and the percentages off etc, I make out there. Both stores are close to my house. Take care.
I make beautiful seasonal pictures from Dollar Tree gift bags and Goodwill picture frames. I can give them as gifts, and the ones I keep, I can simply switch out the pictures. 😊😊
Hello sweet friend! Hope you had A nice weekend!😊 I know DG's are everywhere, but girl we have 2 that are 2 blocks apart on the same road, same side. Then least than half a mile down there's another one on the opposite side of the same road! Like 3 in one mile on the same road!🤯 What in the world?? They all sell the same thing! Loll 🤦♀️ They do have lots of good decor for all the seasons & holidays! The tins really are pretty, love the plaid! I agree, the sides are the pretty part! Those will be very pretty stacked! I would just leave them to age naturally, for that nice old patina. I have some old tins but in looking for more to decorate the tops of my cabinets. I any to use old tins, copper kettles & old coffee grinders, and greenery of course! Its so tough watching our babies letting go of the baby things, growing up. It was always heartbreaking for me! My DIL took my granddaughter that was born month before Claire, her bottle a couple weeks after she turned one, in September. But she started her with the sippy cups that have the really soft nipple like mouthpieces. Now she drinks frei pottery much any sippy cup. She still wants ghee "Ba" but she does good with the cups. The nutcrackers are really pretty! Go back to CVS & get the nutcrackers or you'll regret it! JS! Oh the Santa jackets & idea is so cool!😊 Your wooden "H"..i have the "L"! I bought it awhile back, in the spring. I kept it on the top of my electric fireplace with some other decor. Its really cute! The wreaths would make a really cute small garland in a jute seeing too. I'm excited to see the village houses you painted! I know they're so cute!😊 You would probably have to hot glue the string to the back of the cookies head, like where you would have a hole if they were plastic. I'm sure they would crumble if you tried to put A hole in them! Ohh wow I love the bells!😮 And yes I'll def ck these 3 DG stores here by me to see if they have a set! They look copper or a bronzey color, great size & awesome price! I'm sure I'll change the color too. I'll watch your DIY first.😉 I know i can use antiquing wax and/or rub & buff, that would be simple. But texture would be really pretty too! Maybe some dirt rubbing?🤔 Mmmm i hope i can score a set!🙏🏻 Oh yes girl, definitely frame the Santa bag! I've framed several Christmas bags & cards! You can get bags & cards for any holiday or season.. or even for a birthday bag for a birthday party. I got the idea from my MIL.. she loved the red trucks at Christmas & framed a bign8×10 one from a bag. It was beautiful with A red bow on top. I framed one that was just a print for fall/thanksgiving in just a simple 8x10 Dollar Store frame & glued some silk fall leaves & little scarecrows on the frame. I also did one that was sparkly snowflakes & glued some of the snowflake ornaments on the frame. You can use a plain frame & decorate it for that pretty printed bag, or any bag! And its simple, easy, and inexpensive! Possibilities are endless!😉 Yes that Santa looks really vintage tho. (Lol..i hoard frames!🫣😄) If you have a piece of green or red ribbon & a couple of little jingle bells it would be cute up in the top corner! You can also use glitter glue to decorate the picture, to make it a little extra. Ok enough ideas😄 Enjoyed the video & talking your ear off🫢 You found some great things, thanks for sharing with us! Excited for your decorating videos! I pray you have a blessed week my friend!🙏🏻
Havn’t even finished the video, and I had to say I love the tins… I love the look when you can decorate with them, especially when they are plaid…I’m mad at myself I went to a thrift store this morning and dollar general is right there, but decided not go in, I would have for sure gotten a tin or two, I do collect them I did well at thrift store though, I bought a few vintage Christmas books for my vintage magazine rack Great haul ❤️🎄❤️ I got a letter from CVS saying I am in the top 10% of using rewards and coupons in my whole State… I work the system there at cvs the cashier always teases me and says they owe me $ lol
Apparently there are different "levels" of Dollar General stores, which I had never realized before. When I could never find the decor I see online at my DG'S, I asked the manager one day, why I never see it there. He answered "Oh we're just a "such and such" level store (I don't remember what he called it), and we don't get all that stuff here." Who knew? 🤷♀️
That makes sense then! My local store is not good… The one I’m filming in is in another town, still close to me, but that does make sense now! My local store didn’t have hardly anything that I found in this haul! But DG seems to be all over, def worth a shot to pop in a few!
You should do a CVS vlog how to get those deals 😊. Yes, those Nutcracker were so pretty. If I could, I would get a couple. Enjoy your day. I look forward to the next one.
That would be cool! I’ll keep it in mind. Thanks for being here 💛
Yes, yes you should get the nut crackers. I'm glad to hear someone say they are tired of the neutral Christmas. I have always loved the reds and all the bright colors. The neutrals are pretty for others, just not me.
Me too!! I love color for Christmas!🎄
The white and beige might be ok for winter but too boring for Christmas.
Great ideas!! Thanks! And yes, we also wait to decorate too until after Thanksgiving. 😊
It’s such fun watching you have fun! Carry on!
Loved all your Christmas finds! Gonna steal the little Santa’s with the clothespin idea! So cute. Thank you for posting
Love your Dollar General Haul!❤
Hi great idea with the Santa Claus frame brilliant ❤
For gingerbread cookie garland, hot glue a paper clip to back. Seeing the magic of Xmas through Claire's eyes makes me want to go to the Harring home!
Love that idea, thanks for sharing! & awwww thank you 💛💛💛💛
My encouragement (?) I use when I want something that seems pricey is " but I'll use it for yrs. so I'll get my money's worth". :-) Love those santa suits. I framed a bag one year and hung it on my porch.
I bought those same ornaments for my granddaughter’s tree and the gingerbread ribbon.
❤❤Nice haul thanks for sharing and your right it's flying off shelves crafting in my therapy room😊😊
Cute stuff...never have liked nut crackers lol...have fun girl❤🎄
The gift bags at Walmart are simply amazing this year. I live in a log cabin so I scored some amazing winter scenery!!!
That’s awesome!!!

Love Dollar General decor for all seasons! I finally scored one of their big Santa pictures this year on canvas! Love it!
Aw I saw those online! My store didn’t have any but they are gorgeous! Good score
Some great finds, DG always has great items..❤❤❤ the Santa pic idea…I’ve been searching for a Santa pic, with no luck; now I’m going to shop for gift bags and make my own…😅 thanks for the idea! 🎄
Yes! Such an easy diy!! Have fun💛
The Santa jacket ornament would also look cute on miniature wooden clothes hangers.
Omg if I could find some, YES!!!!
Love that idea!
You are just the cutest!! Your Dollar General is so good , I’m in Alabama ours not so much. Loving all the content. God Bless 🎄
Thank you so much! If you can, try another one if it’s local enough. It’s bizarre how two stores 20 mins apart sell way different/better things! My local store stinks lol

Love the Santa jackets! So darn cute!
Love the Santa photo idea.. you made me lol because I am a picture frame hoarder..😮😂😂
Me, too - I made a family photo gallery in my dining room so we could all look at pictures when we have holiday dinners, especially - I mostly had all the frames hoarded when I started & I had painted them with blended colors to go with my decor - I get a lot of oohs & ahhs over them & brings back memories of those no longer with us
Beautiful haul! I’ve bought bags before and framed them!😊
Your explanation of the pride in your last name is so sweet. I am sure your husband is very proud of you. My dad had a massive alcohol addiction and my sister, and I were treated like we had the same disease. I had no pride in my last name I just wanted to be known by my first name.
I just love how you are decorate in traditional colors for Claire ❤ And you make me want to go to Dollar General tomorrow!! Last year was the first time I started getting Nutcrackers!! I love them 🎄🦌🎁

Hi Genevieve and Claire ❤ u are so right I didn't think I would love the nutcracker but I just went to Ross and they had some cute nutcracker cookie jars always Laura ❣️
Hi Laura 💛💛 Yes! Something about these nutcrackers this year! Haha!
Mother Thyme on UA-cam made a wreath using the gingerbread cookies. It was really cute!
That sounds adorable! I need to check that out!
I went onto The Graphics Fairy and downloaded the same vintage Santa’s last night and framed them into vintage frames they are stunning! Just another idea for you.
Here in Idaho we don't have a Dollar General, your other Santa head you should place it on Poster board or card stock paper on a Large Tongue depressor from the Dollar Tree a put in your Hutch...Idaho
Yes to the cvs nutcrackers! 😂😂
I knew I liked you! 😜
@ haha 🤣🤣 I miss cvs with their extra bucks thing! It makes buys the fun things easier to justify 😅 We don’t have where I live now. Only the pharmacy inside target

Aw that’s a bummer. They have some great finds!
I love Dollar General but i always forget about going there because its not convenient. Thanks
for the reminder
Yes the nutcracker is cute, I saw him there, I get a lot of cute things at Dollar General ,love it. I go to CVS too a lot. I have the extra bucks, I get tons of good deals there. I have the rewards I pay 5.00 a month get to spend 10.00 a month and the percentages off etc, I make out there. Both stores are close to my house. Take care.
Me too, both are super close to me! CVS is great for deals!
I know what you mean about some nutcrackers looking weird, but yours were cute! You come up with the best ideas🙂
Thank you! I love those nutcrackers too! 🥰
A heated ice pick might work to put a hole in the cookies - I would spray them with a clear matte urethane
I agree with you on the neutral Christmas, not me . I have always loved my red and green for Christmas. ❤❤
I make beautiful seasonal pictures from Dollar Tree gift bags and Goodwill picture frames.
I can give them as gifts, and the ones I keep, I can simply switch out the pictures. 😊😊
That sounds amazing! 😍
YES YES YES
DG does have some nice items.
Cute items - no Dollar Generals in CA in my area.
YES 😂 Yes yes!
Yes go back to cvs for the nutcrackers!

Hey my sweet friend!!! Always love your comments, you’re never talking my ear off 💛☺️ I’m blessed you’re here! Thanks so much, have a wonderful week 🎄
I have the same letter thing.
Havn’t even finished the video, and I had to say I love the tins… I love the look when you can decorate with them, especially when they are plaid…I’m mad at myself I went to a thrift store this morning and dollar general is right there, but decided not go in, I would have for sure gotten a tin or two, I do collect them
I did well at thrift store though, I bought a few vintage Christmas books for my vintage magazine rack
Great haul ❤️🎄❤️
I got a letter from CVS saying I am in the top 10% of using rewards and coupons in my whole State… I work the system there at cvs the cashier always teases me and says they owe me $ lol
Aww vintage Christmas books sound beautiful! But yes!!!! You go girl. It literally pays to shop at CVS, I try to tell everyone I know! Lol
Yes
Your little nut crackers are in the Dollar Tree Plus section for $5.00. They have a snowman, Santa, gingerbread man, and the nut cracker.
Oh wow!
Apparently there are different "levels" of Dollar General stores, which I had never realized before. When I could never find the decor I see online at my DG'S, I asked the manager one day, why I never see it there.

Damn now I got to go to dollar general lol

You could just paint the lids with spray paint...quick redo!
Very true!
🎄🥰✅🎄

Ooooooh def!
