They really are aren't they. My beautiful grandma lived to be 105 😱 And, on her 100th birthday, as well as a telegram from Queen Elizabeth, many people in our village made her a hamper. So much thought went into it...she cried happy tears. She was born in 1907, so they put in a brand of tea called 1907 ...her name was Violet...so there was a box of violet creams...and so on . I made her a little scrapbook. I had a photograph of her wedding cake, which my grandad had made.... They didn't have a wedding photographer, so I don't know who took the pic of the cake (priorities 🤣) I also contacted relatives and one of them came up trumps with photos of my grandad from when he was in his early 20s and an apprentice baker. My Grandma had never seen those particular photographs before. I thoroughly enjoyed making it for her. I often found her looking through it. I have it now, as she died in 2012 . I miss her so much. Gosh, I didn't mean to write such a lengthy comment, but I hope somebody might like to read it. God bless all in Sherry's little UA-cam community. May you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving day and Christmas. ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Had to giggle with the box clock - now instead of you looking for clocks, they're finding you! As usual, I loved everything. My favorites are the candles.
Sherry, I’m not sure if they are still coated but we use to make candles in paper milk cartons. We cut the tops off the carton to whatever height we wanted. Melt your wax. Place in the wick hanging from a pencil. Then put some crushed up ice cubes to about marble size in the box. Pour in hot wax to however tall you want. When the ice melts pour out water; you have a lacy candle. You can spread some whipped wax on for snow and or sprinkle crystal glitter on. You can use red or green glitter too or red or green wax. We loved those candles when we were children; they looked magical to us.
Congratulations to your son and new daughter-in-law! So exciting! My daughter is getting married next year so I will be using some of your wedding inspired ideas for them!
Congratulations on your son's marriage. What a lovely Christmas gift for you! A new family member! May the new couple be blessed with a happy healthy long life together.
Firstly I send my heart felt congratulations to your Son and his future Wife on their wedding 💒 . ❤. I wish I was one of your friends who were gifted one of those wonderful craft gifts. I really liked the idea of a book and the velvety book marks. They looked lovely 😻. X
@@CanterburyCottageIt does seem hectic, but what a lovely way to celebrate every holiday from now on. And depending on their jobs, they could possibly have a mini vacation every anniversary!! I loved your designs of course, but that is each and every show that you grace us with. Wishes for a beautiful wedding and Happy Thanksgiving.❤❤
Sherry, you are the quintessential DIY Genius! Every project, every creation is unique, personal and thoughtful. Thank you for these wonderful gift ideas. Congratulations to your son and his future bride on their nuptials.
You have such great vision! I love how you look at something like the lamp & re-imagine what would have otherwise gone to the landfill. Very inspiring! All of your gifts will be so special to their recipients. Congrats to your son & new wife…how exciting!
I noticed your earrings immediately because, as a snow lover, I know that metal snowflake earrings get caught in long hair - you have the perfect solution!
I love the lamp idea for the earring holder. I like it with the bulb in because you can see the earrings better but the brass door knob sure was impressive.
I absolutely loved the soaps and I made a batch of them today to include with presents, thank you so much. I love your channel, I am a paramedic and crafting helps balance out the stressful days I sometimes have. Blessings to you and family on the joyful occasion of your son's wedding. I LOVE DIY gift ideas, as I love to give a unique gift that is not just what everyone sees in the shops, more please!!! Thank you for what you do.
Thank you so much, Helene! And, thank you for your service as a paramedic. I could not do what you are doing; I would be in tears every day. It takes a special person to do what you do.
@@CanterburyCottage Thank you so much, it is an honour to serve the community, but yes, days can be hard. I try to balance that by doing creative things, and so enjoy your channel x
Congratulations on getting a Daughter! I have always been in awe of your ideas and now am happy to read the lovely poem you wrote. I feel very privileged to be able to enjoy your creations each week. I go back and watch the previous programs you’ve provided- all are special. Thank you Dear Lady. (I did recognize the earrings 🤓)
That jewelry holder out of an old lamp is the best idea I’ve seen in a long idea. How clever are you sweetie. Thanks so much I’m definitely going to be on the hunt in thrift stores to make that
What wonderful ideas,loved them all. The wedding gifts were awesome,I love what you did to the box with th clock.Thank you for sharing your talents with us and I hope the wedding was awesome.
I love all of your videos. Your creativity is unmatched in my opinion. I have to say your gift idea videos have always been one of my favorites. They are always so creative and unique. I loved absolutely everything your created and shared in this video. The clock box was my absolute favorite. It is such a beautiful and sentimental gift. The entire gift basket you created was amazing. The champagne bottle in the lantern was a genius idea and turned out beautifully as well. I could then go on to oist every other project in the video. Thank you for sharing such stunning, affordable, creative and easy to create gift ideas. Wishing the newlyweds a lifetime of love and happiness. Congratulations to all ❤
Your kids must be so proud and happy to have you in their lives. Their gifts are wonderful. All of your creations are beautiful, but my favorite is the clock. Makes me emotional just to think about receiving such a meaningful gift... Thank you for sharing with us.🥰❤
Hey, Sherry, a quick way to get tissue paper ready for the printer is to run a line of glue stick around the edge of printer paper and attach the tissue paper to that. If the tissue paper is wrinkled use a dry iron to smooth. Thanks for all the great ideas you share with everyone. ❤️
What awesome gifts! Your son and his wife to be are a lovely couple!! Congratulations!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ I’m sure they will really appreciate the thoughtfulness of your gifts ❤
I love to make bookmarks, they can be personalized and made special for gift giving. Congratulations to your son and daughter in law! I am such a sap at weddings, I always cry.
Sherry all your creations are made with so much love, care and thoughtfulness! Just adore everything. The clock is beautiful and the baskets are gorgeous. I’m sure your new daughter-in- law realizes she has the best mother-in-law❤️
I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness and care with each project 💚 From the Jam & Jelly idea, to the candle topper’s and the unique cereal box green candle ( wowza ❤️) I adored every gift idea. Your family is so lucky to have you !!! Happiness ! Happy Holidays! And congratulations to the newlyweds 👑👑 Cheers 💛💛
Sherry, you are amazing. Your ideas are out of this world. Loved all these wonderful gift ideas. So darn creative n your snowflake earrings look sweet on you too. ♥️♥️🥰👍👍👍👍🌟
Another great way to personalize Dollar Tree glasses is to use glass etching cream. You can use ready made stencils, or create your own design with your Cricut. My daughter did this with glass mugs for each family member for Christmas a few years ago. Mine was a sketch of my dog, my son the chef had kitchen tools, etc. It was easy and fun
Love the soap idea as it brought back memories of my mother doing this very thing to bars of soap she displayed in a hand painted ceramic dish, so pretty.
Sherry, when you close a jump ring you should go back and forth in opposite directions once or twice and then close it. That will allow it to close completely. I make sterling silver jewelry and that was one of the first things I learned. There won't be any overlap❤
@@CanterburyCottageyou don’t pull it apart. You open the ring like a gate, hold open side of the ring steady and use another pliers to pull the other side towards you, insert your chain, the close the jump ring back the way you opened it. You don’t squeeze it together. Not sure if that helps.
I love the way you reused the candles to make new, awesome ones like the rectangular four wick one. I absolutely am going to do this with my unscented candles I have that are literally just sitting around. Perhaps giving them a new look will inspire me use them more often.
As usual, everything is gorgeous! I have started to try and give only gifts that are useful, and that won't just be tossed into a drawer, after Christmas. These ideas fit the bill perfectly. I actually have 3 fancy bars of soap I want to use, now all I need are the napkins!
All of these gift ideas are fantastic! Your imagination and know-how is unmatched. I can't pick a favorite - again - but there's not an "undoable" one in the bunch!
These are such beautiful and thouvhtful gifts. I am definitely going to try many of them for my large family. I have 8 grown kids, spouses, and 12 grands to buy for this year. I always prefer to make the gifts personal and thrifty. Congratulations on the wedding! It is great when the family grows. Enjoy the wedding.
Definitely planning to try a couple of these for some coworkers and family members! So fun and creative! Thanks Sherry! Congratulations to your son and fiance! Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Sherry, congratulations to your son and new daughter in law. Thanks for sharing the candle tips. I’m envious of how well yours turned out. I struggle with ratty looking homemade candles. Also enjoyed the soap and earring diys.
Thank you so much! Katherine. If your candles sink in the middle, you can heat up the surface with a heat gun until wax fills the hole. Then it will solidify level.
I love the cooking basket you did. I also belong to a book club and I think I will make some of those earrings for them for Christmas this year. Thank you for sharing your creativity and talent with us!
Congratulations to your son and daughter-in-law. I am trying to imagine a woman dating your son, then finds out you are a UA-cam DIYer of fantastic gifts, decor, ideas. Both of the women must be thrilled to have you as a second mom!
Congratulations to the newlyweds! I also was married this time of year, the day before my birthday. I'm impressed you managed to make us a video in spite of how busy you must be. I'll consider it another birthday gift 😂. I will have to remember to make bookmarkers for the students I tutor. With nearly a hundred students, it's very cost effective and a great way to use up a plethora of ribbon and embellishments in my stash. As an avid reader, the earrings I would like as well as gifts for my teachers. My first graders made me a lovely gift book. Each child wrote a card they decorated and the teacher stapled it together. It's a wonderful way they use to celebrate any classroom birthdays. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and UA-cam friends. 🦃
Thank you, Serena! Yes, as a former teacher, it is hard to find affordable gifts for all of your students. I always appreciated when students took the time to write me a card or letter. Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!
Congratulations to your son and new daughter!!! Loved all the ideas but I think for me, the jelly jar , soap and candles ideas are very doable. I’m also thinking about the book markers but in a more masculine theme. I planned on making coasters as gifts this year as generic family gifts. Now I’m second guessing myself. Thank you!!
The newlyweds' gift will be awesome. I like the doily snowflake earrings. The lamp is a great gift that I use during power outages. I love a good homemade bookmark. The candle troghe is a great gift or deco. I love them all and will try them all.
I liked the idea of the tiny ornament inside the drink glass. (As I thought about it I had to chuckle as you’d only know you had your own glass once the drink was almost gone)Only joking as I watch my glass at a party. lol
Wonderful ideas and so beautiful. I've always felt that handmade gifts are so much nicer and mean so much more, because you took the time to create a one of a kind gift with special meaning. Your family and friends are so lucky to have you as part of their lives. Happy holidays to all of you!!
Congratulations on the upcoming wedding! The newlywed basket is a very thoughtful gift. As for your earrings, I didn't notice them but I did notice the lovely green sweater you are wearing. I think I will be making the Jam Jar and the candles. Both great and easy gifts (right up my alley)!
Sherrie, these ideas are pure genius! I would be so pleased if someone gave me any of these, following your ideas. You are so thoughtful. I wish your son and future daughter-in-law a lifetime of joyful, fulfilling years! 💗💗💗💗 I'm going to try making the tiny book earrings:-)
Congratulations to you and your son on his upcoming wedding! You must be so excited! Wishing the upcoming nuptials wedded bliss. As always, I love your frugality and your thoughtful, creative ideas- keep them coming! Have a safe and blessed Thanksgiving as well!🤗😘
Sherry!!! Oh my word! Your videos make me feel so happy! I've been struggling with my mental health since losing my job in April. I'm nearly 60, and finding a new job isn't easy at my age. Your videos are simply wonderful!...the music, your voice and your absolutely spectacular creations really lift my spirits. Thank you!! How lucky your children and daughters in law are too receive those beautiful and thoughtful hampers! Just out of interest Sherry....would you consider adopting a 59 year old lady from the UK? 🤣 I wouldn't be any trouble. 😂🤣😂🩷
Oh, Violet, you are so sweet! I am so sorry that you are having trouble finding a new job. I will keep you in my prayers. And, if you ever come to Illinois, please stay with me!
Congrats to the newly weds. Hope all goes well. You made some awesome gifts in your video, thr6 are all gorgeous and very thoughtful. Nothing nicer than a homemade gift, made with love. The gifts you’ve made and put in the basket are absolutely gorgeous Sherry. Your DIL is lucky to have you as a MIL, Both of my MILs were both evil and that’s the plain truth. I have always accepted any partner my kids have been with, even if I wasn’t keen on them, they never knew that. I treat them like they are my own children. Enjoy the wedding.
I would love to receive any of these as a gift. Congratulations to your kids on their wedding. You must be very busy so thank you for sharing this with us!
With older folks who have everything they need, consumable gifts are appreciated.
you right i dont know what to buy to my parents cause they have all tehy need so now we buy good food and make pretty gift boxes
Yes, that is a good point! ❤️

These are such beautiful and thouvhtful gifts. I am definitely going to try many of them for my large family. I have 8 grown kids, spouses, and 12 grands to buy for this year. I always prefer to make the gifts personal and thrifty.
Congratulations on the wedding! It is great when the family grows. Enjoy the wedding.
Thank you so much, Shelly! What a joy to have such a large family!
You can also hand paint on the soap and then use melted clear wax to paint a thin layer over the hand painted picture
The engagement clock is so sweet!
Thank you!😊
Definitely planning to try a couple of these for some coworkers and family members! So fun and creative! Thanks Sherry! Congratulations to your son and fiance! Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Sherry, congratulations to your son and new daughter in law. Thanks for sharing the candle tips. I’m envious of how well yours turned out. I struggle with ratty looking homemade candles. Also enjoyed the soap and earring diys.
Thank you so much! Katherine. If your candles sink in the middle, you can heat up the surface with a heat gun until wax fills the hole. Then it will solidify level.
I love the cooking basket you did. I also belong to a book club and I think I will make some of those earrings for them for Christmas this year. Thank you for sharing your creativity and talent with us!
Congratulations to your son and daughter-in-law. I am trying to imagine a woman dating your son, then finds out you are a UA-cam DIYer of fantastic gifts, decor, ideas. Both of the women must be thrilled to have you as a second mom!
Thank you so much! Both girls are so sweet and love telling people about my YT channel.
Congratulations to the newlyweds! I also was married this time of year, the day before my birthday. I'm impressed you managed to make us a video in spite of how busy you must be. I'll consider it another birthday gift 😂. I will have to remember to make bookmarkers for the students I tutor. With nearly a hundred students, it's very cost effective and a great way to use up a plethora of ribbon and embellishments in my stash. As an avid reader, the earrings I would like as well as gifts for my teachers. My first graders made me a lovely gift book. Each child wrote a card they decorated and the teacher stapled it together. It's a wonderful way they use to celebrate any classroom birthdays. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and UA-cam friends. 🦃
Thank you, Serena! Yes, as a former teacher, it is hard to find affordable gifts for all of your students. I always appreciated when students took the time to write me a card or letter. Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!
The glasses with the little animals are so much fun.
Thank you, Lou!😊
Love having you visit me in my home early in the morning. You are so creative!!
Thank you so much, Annie!
Lovely gifts
Thank you, Corinne!
Congratulations to your son and new daughter!!!
Loved all the ideas but I think for me, the jelly jar , soap and candles ideas are very doable.
I’m also thinking about the book markers but in a more masculine theme.
I planned on making coasters as gifts this year as generic family gifts. Now I’m second guessing myself.
Thank you!!
Thank you, Gigi! I do like personalized coasters, too-maybe, with pictures of pets!
Your imagination goes on and on with no end in sight! Happy Thanksgiving!!
Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!
Thank you for all the great ideas! Congratulations on your sons wedding🥰
Thank you!! 😊
The newlyweds' gift will be awesome.
I like the doily snowflake earrings.
The lamp is a great gift that I use during power outages.
I love a good homemade bookmark.
The candle troghe is a great gift or deco.
I love them all and will try them all.
I liked the idea of the tiny ornament inside the drink glass. (As I thought about it I had to chuckle as you’d only know you had your own glass once the drink was almost gone)Only joking as I watch my glass at a party. lol
Such great ideas, Sherry! Wonderful video and your family is lucky to have you choose such thoughtful gifts!
Thank you so much, Kristina! I would wish you happy Thanksgiving, but you’ve already celebrated, haven’t you?
@@CanterburyCottage Yes I have, in October haha But, let me wish you the happiest Thanksgiving! I hope it will be filled with family and loved ones.
I just love them all, but especially the candles!!
Thank you, Suzanne!
Wonderful ideas and so beautiful. I've always felt that handmade gifts are so much nicer and mean so much more, because you took the time to create a one of a kind gift with special meaning. Your family and friends are so lucky to have you as part of their lives. Happy holidays to all of you!!
Thank you so much, Terry! ☺️
Hello and Merry Christmas. Your creativity blows me away. What great ideas 🎉🪅
Congratulations on the upcoming wedding! The newlywed basket is a very thoughtful gift. As for your earrings, I didn't notice them but I did notice the lovely green sweater you are wearing. I think I will be making the Jam Jar and the candles. Both great and easy gifts (right up my alley)!
Thank you so much, Katherine! That sweater is from Amazon! Blessings to you and your family, too!
Once again, you don't disappoint with great ideas! I don't know how you manage to have an endless well of fresh creations❤🎉‼️
Thank you so much, Lynn!
I had forgotten about tissue paper decorated soaps!!! ❣️😉 Wonderful gifts Sherri!!

Thank you! Going to make the doily earrings now!😘
Yay! Hope you love them as much as I do!
😱pedazo de regalos, claro que los haré😍😍😍😍🙋♀️🤗🌻
Thank you!
I tried the soap last year! I found napkins with collegiate mascots and created special soap for friends and family! Fun!
That is awesome! I love the idea of using college mascots!
Sherrie, these ideas are pure genius! I would be so pleased if someone gave me any of these, following your ideas. You are so thoughtful. I wish your son and future daughter-in-law a lifetime of joyful, fulfilling years! 💗💗💗💗 I'm going to try making the tiny book earrings:-)
Now I have to go make a bookmark for my planner. I love that idea. They were all Great as usual.
Thank you so much, Sherie!
Just wonderful ideas! I love the personal touches❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Hope you all have a wonderfull wedding day. My favourite was the little soap bundle ❤
These are my favorite videos of yours! You're so amazing, Sherry!! Your ideas are just perfect!
Wow, thank you!☺️
Congratulations to you and your son on his upcoming wedding! You must be so excited! Wishing the upcoming nuptials wedded bliss. As always, I love your frugality and your thoughtful, creative ideas- keep them coming! Have a safe and blessed Thanksgiving as well!🤗😘
Sherry!!! Oh my word! Your videos make me feel so happy! I've been struggling with my mental health since losing my job in April. I'm nearly 60, and finding a new job isn't easy at my age. Your videos are simply wonderful!...the music, your voice and your absolutely spectacular creations really lift my spirits. Thank you!! How lucky your children and daughters in law are too receive those beautiful and thoughtful hampers! Just out of interest Sherry....would you consider adopting a 59 year old lady from the UK? 🤣 I wouldn't be any trouble. 😂🤣😂🩷
Oh, Violet, you are so sweet! I am so sorry that you are having trouble finding a new job. I will keep you in my prayers. And, if you ever come to Illinois, please stay with me!
Congrats to the newly weds. Hope all goes well. You made some awesome gifts in your video, thr6 are all gorgeous and very thoughtful. Nothing nicer than a homemade gift, made with love. The gifts you’ve made and put in the basket are absolutely gorgeous Sherry. Your DIL is lucky to have you as a MIL, Both of my MILs were both evil and that’s the plain truth. I have always accepted any partner my kids have been with, even if I wasn’t keen on them, they never knew that. I treat them like they are my own children. Enjoy the wedding.
I would love to receive any of these as a gift. Congratulations to your kids on their wedding. You must be very busy so thank you for sharing this with us!
Thank you! Yes, it’s been quite hectic around here. 😜
Happy Wedding and Congratulations! These gifts are all so thoughtful. My kids appreciate thrifted items too. 😊
Thank you!! 😊
These are all lovely and creative. Congratulations to the soon to be married couple!!! ❤❤ Happy Thanksgiving to you Sherrie. ❤
Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!
That particular pen is my favorite too! Love your videos! Merry Christmas!
