[@shelley_quilts]

Cindy ... once again you have made so many GREAT DIYs ... making it hard to pick a favorite!! My son is grown & lives too far away for my granddaughter (she is 6) to enjoy here at her Grammy's house. But, if I have to pick a favorite one it would be the tree with the cans!! Thanks again for sharing such wonderful ideas ... I appreciate you so much. Have a blessed week!!

[@monarchmomdiy]

Thank you so much for your sweet comment Michele!

[@teresanegron6045]

What a great idea for the countdown on the charger!! Love it!🤗

[@monarchmomdiy]

Thank you Teresa!

[@dorothybeattie8057]

Hello,
I just wanted to let you know if you don't know already. You can use garden gloves that have a silicone base for the hot glue. So your fingers don't get burnt.
Hope that helps.
D

[@monarchmomdiy]

Thank you. Did you see I got a new spatula thingy to use to press down hot glue?

[@robinellis9957]

These are so pretty! The baby sock one is just darling and would be perfect for new parents or grandparents. Between this video and the other, I still haven’t decided which one I will make lol! I need to hurry up and choose one but they are all so good.

[@monarchmomdiy]

Thanks Robin! Have fun and be sure to come back and let me know which one you made!

[@darlaslate3415]

I really like the 'sock' tree calendar.

[@monarchmomdiy]

Thanks Darla

[@jackifinland1470]

[@gwendolyn411969]

Love them all but my favorite is the match boxes and the toilet paper. Will make them. where did I get the Christmas numbers from?

[@monarchmomdiy]

I just typed the numbers in word and printed them out

[@gwendolyn411969]

@@monarchmomdiy thanks

[@sharonrudy470]

Hi Cindy! The amount of time you took to create these was so much appreciated. They are all amazing. I thought it would be the sock Christmas Tree and then you showed the can Christmas Tree. Oh my gosh! All of them were incredible. I think I am going to go with the sock Christmas tree though. They can all be reused for sure, but I think that one would be fun to change the socks every year. Thank you again so much. You give all of us so much inspiration.

[@monarchmomdiy]

Thank you so much for your sweet and encouraging words Sharon!

[@kathysmith5156]

Cindy , what department in Walmart did you find the little houses advent. Was it in Christmas or party goods?

[@monarchmomdiy]

Christmas. I think by the cards, wrapping paper and gift bags

[@amievenskoske8472]

I like the socks and charger but I won't be making any my daughter is grown up

[@monarchmomdiy]

Thanks for watching Amie!
