My son was born on December 18th, so I don't decorate for Christmas until after his birthday, so this is early for me. I do get a wreath before that, but nothing inside. He's 38 now, but I remember all the stories from folks with December birthdays that complained about not having a "real birthday," so my husband & I vowed that he would always have a birthday.
Total last minute-er here 🙋🏼♀️. I wasn’t all jazzed to decorate last week but I got the flu. Now I’m not interested. OK, I am interested but I don’t want to do the work 😂
Wonderful ideas! But, IMHO your SMARTEST and most GENIUS idea is that finger protector on your index finger when using hot glue. OMG! I could have used that idea YEARS AGO! Thank you! Hugs and Blessings.
lol right she’s golden! My Mom was always up until dawn on Christmas Eve finishing gifts sewing cooking now it’s my turn to get the home all pretty and stocked up for Christmas cookies snacks etc . Merry Christmas everyone 🥰😍🇨🇦🎄🎄🎊🎊
Ok, you are too sweet!! You're videos always make me smile or laugh or both!! You have such an amazing mind to come up with these great projects!! I love all of them! THANK YOU!! ❤️🎄🎅🏼🤶☃️🦌🎄❤️
I took the same Dollar Tree vase & and used clear gems and a color changing LED puck with remote on my table. Now I want to add trees to the outside like you did.
OMG I love you!!! I watch you everyday even if I dont want to do the craft your making lol You make me laugh and smile and god knows I really need your contagious joy in my life right now. Thank you thank you thank you.... your awesome. Oh your also wicked smart with the crafts. Your tutorials are very clear and precise and simply a joy.❤❤❤
I love love love them !! So adorable, especially the last one , Nutcracker!!!! You always do such a great job with all your projects!! I can't believe how talented you are it blows my mind every time I watch!! Thank you for not leaving out us last minute Crafters !! Your just so Awesome!!! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
I'll be hunting down those window clings & make that tray for a wreath attachment! Think I'll paint the background off white or navy, then mod podge. Love it!
I made the plastic bowls and they are fabulous. And thing I learned is that when you use metallic paint you can still see the pretty design. The acrylic or chalk paint does not show the pattern afterward. I am not a christmas person. However to hubby and I do M/M Santa 🤶 🧑🎄 and have a ball with that. If I get any decorations out it is minimal. The plastic bowls are dishwasher safe
I adore you! I wait so long to decorate and craft that the season is almost over 😢 Sometimes I think its a waste doing anything at all. But you're right! We aren't there yet 😊
You are not alone my friend! I think some of our best work is done under pressure 🤣🤣 I love everything you created! The last one is so amazing. I love the nutcracker lights! It’s just beautiful ❤.
My daughter's birthday is also December 18. Always celebrate her birthday. Every other year she would have sleep over party the week before her birthday.
My late Dad’s Birthday is December 15, my Mum’s is December 17, I had a Friend who has passed, her Birthday was Christmas Eve, and my middle son’s is Boxing Day [December 26] ! I always try to be organised and have everything done in time to just relax and enjoy Christmas, but always run like a headless chicken 🐓 right up to the very last second! Maybe next year!? 🤣 Wishing you and yours a Blessed and Merry Christmas 🎄🤶🎅 Hugs 🫂 from Scotland 🏴 UK 🇬🇧 ❤❤
I just LOVE U !! U are sooooo beautiful and fun and sweet !!! Omg 😂love watching u U make me smile !!! I do party decorating constantly ! U are just so awesome !!! Lol
These are all so cute Collette!!! Yeah imma last minute girlie as well but as long as it gets done right??? Love them all!!! TFS Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year 2025....🌲☃️🥶❄️🌡️
Dishwasher safe mod podge at DT? Shoot, I haven't seen that, yet! I hold bowls the same way, but a little grip handle made with pinched painters tape inside does work 😂 Cute projects. Thanks. I am not last minute but create up to the last minute!
I have 3 kids and i haven't started shopping yet. I just cant bring myself to drop a bunch of money when my kids already have everything they could ever want. I am starting to panic a little though, not gonna lie😂
I try to at least get the 🌲 tree up Thanksgiving weekend because I direct my church’s Christmas pageant every year. Well this year my husband booked a cruise for the week after Thanksgiving. So I am going crazy trying to decorate and get the pageant put together. I think my head is going to explode. I love Christmas, but this year is hard.
I love your ideas! But I really love #2 and all the (cranberries) berries, never to much! P.S. I'm not sure if you said where you got the nutcracker lights, but I needed to ask? Thank you again, so much "I love them"!
I’m not last minute by choice, my Christmas spirit is definitely there in like late October on (ok, who am I kidding, in July I definitely experience some 🤭) but life stuff brings most elements to become last minute. These are so awesome, Collette!! I bet those little painted plastic bowls would look amazing on the chargers! I won’t ask if anything is food safe 😉, but how did those plastic chargers not melt/warp with your hotter than the sun hot glue? I suspect I would end up with warped or outright melted even though mine isn’t that hot.
My grandson's birthday is the 16th of Dec. My brother was the 24th of December ( Rip) i have a great niece expected on the 22nd. It's been a rough year, i spent a month in hospital with long covid, the hurricanes and the destruction we're still going through, stepdad has prostate cancer so we've been running everywhere to doctors and ERs. I've got my buying done just can't get energy to wrap. Merry Christmas to all, God bless us everyone. 🙏🙏🙏🎄🎄🎄🎅🎅🎅🤶🤶❤️♥️♥️

My daughter was born on December 15th- the same day as my dad. I always want to make sure she has her own day also😊
I'm a January 9 baby.
My birthday was always an after thought.
Nobody was in the mood for more anything by that time . Hahahaha
My b'day is December 24. Fun times 🙄
My birthday is Dec 26th, my mom always made sure Christmas 🎄 and my birthday were separate. It still is today, I make sure of it 😊
Great idea!
Every year I think this is the year I'm going to be one of those ladies that is going to shop early, decorate early, etc. ..lol..never happens...
RIGHT?!?! I do the same thing!! 🤪🤪🤪
Same!
Same!!

I'm last minute too. I also cannot cut a straight line.
So I get the spirit right after Thanksgiving then it leaves for several weeks until christmas.
Maybe just put it over a can or a cup while painting?
Well, pickle. I read the comments and missed the blooming vid.
Oh, well, thats ok, i like to hear you talk, so im fine watching again
