I notice many people change their tree every year with a new look. I love my tree ornaments and look forward to using the same ones every year. Is that odd? It only comes once a year. I may pick up a few new things but I love the tradition of using the same decorations year after year! Guess I am just old fashion lol. Love the fact you only got a few things that spoke to you.
I really appreciate that you keep it real and look after your $. There is so much consumerism and I'm sure you must feel the pressure of being an influencer at this time of year. It's so refreshing too that you don't follow the same trends.
My daughter and I were just talking about preferring the warm lighting over LED. Something about LEDs are so harsh. I get to go to Hobby Lobby only once a year since we have to go out of town to get to one and we went this weekend for my birthday and had a ball! LOVE that store❤😊
I agree with you about LED lights. I bought them by mistake and put them in a wreath in our mud room. Bugs me every time I look at them. 😂 Gonna have to stock up on the others. I am proud of you for using restraint on your purchasing. Way too much spending and changing every year. 😊
I so agree with you about the led lights. I am not a fan either. I decorate my tree with the same ornaments every year. Even after my children moved out out on their own. I keep saying I am going to do something different and then the nostalgia gets me.
Proud of you! The spend-more-spirit can be contagious this time of year! Love the beauty your are cultivating, not only in home but also in your family and spirit. God bless!
“They’re beautiful, they’re gorgeous.. they’re expensive” me everytime I browse the hearth and hand section 😂 I didn’t know Target had all of those ornaments!! So sweet ❤
You are so right about the lights! I’m hoarding them!! AND…since I don’t care for how bright some of them are, so I sit while watching UA-cam, and color each light with magic markers. Usually brown, yellow, or orange, or a combination of all three. They stay translucent, like stained glass, and provide just the right glow. But LED’s are YUCK! I’m like you on the mugs, prices, holiday prepping, and the baby is scrumptious, and I’d be kissing those cheeks for days. ❤️ and our Hobby Lobby is out of those trees, and I found Robert Stanley big, red goblets at Goodwill for $1.99 each, which I thought was a lot, till I saw them at HL for I think $11.99 each! Half off, they’re $6!! So I was SO happy! Still had his sticker on the bottom. Happy Dance. 🕺🏼 Great video. Don’t forget I have a channel, but my cute baby twins are 24 yrs old, so I can’t have them with me. ☹️🤭
You and your daughter are adorable. Smart that you don't buy everything you see; save your money for the high quality items that you can keep for years and years. I have Christmas decor from 40 years ago (yes, I'm an oldie), and those things come back into style! 🎀
My daughter and I were at Hobby Lobby last week! Bought two gorgeous pine swags, two strands of bells on twine and some candles and holders. I just LOVE it there too. Love Lily's chubby little face. God Bless!
Agree about the lights! Hate LED lights! You should be proud as restraining what you buy! Everything is beautiful! I’m a blue person though all year long! 🎄💙🎄
The small cedar tree could be used year round. It could sit with no ornaments or you could do seasonal stuff...hearts for Valentines, eggs for Easter, etc.
I hate LED lights too. I never use them and they are so bad for your eyes. My house is so cozy and moody at night with all of our lamps and old school light bulbs. I buy old light bulbs whenever I see them from yard sales. They don’t make em like they use to. The baby is getting so big and she is just the sweetest baby!! Those cheeks are to die for!❤
Hi Kristen, I enjoyed watching your video today, your haul was nice. Thank you for sharing the information. God Bless you and your family. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Good job for not going overboard. I like all you picked up and I wish we had a Hobby Lobby in Canada. You little Lilly is just so adorable and she seems to be so easy going… just like her mommy. You have a wonderful family… the Lord has certainly blessed you. All the best to you all.❤❤
Lilly resembles Rosie 🌹 Such a beautiful family I love that you didn’t go overboard on your little shopping trip I never liked LED lights either , I found a great strand of lights that wasn’t, and I was so happy ❤️🎄❤️ I bought that little stable for my little nativity set last year, it was so darn cute ,and a great deal
Love the items you got! I loaded up on the incandescent lights. I get a few each year because I do not like LED lights at all. Warm and glowing lights are what define Christmas. And natural elements are a must.
I'm with you on the LED lights Kristen. It is getting harder to find the incandescent ones. I love to shop for new Christmas decor on a budget and only purchase what I need or really like. We are lucky to have some great little shops in our area so supporting those shops keeps me away from Hobby Lobby (❤) LOL. Looking forward to seeing how you decorate your home! Thank you much for your honest opinions and content!
Ok so I absolutely love the gingham looking short you’re wearing, so cute. I also must admit I do not like LED lights and refuse to use them 🤷♀️. I use “rice lights” on my trees and have for many years. They give a very primitive cozy look. 😊
Lily is so precious I her pretty outfit❤❤❤. I am glad you stuck to your design and not just buying to be buying. I was stuck in that and I regretted so many purchases. I tried to decorate what was popular and not what my gut told me. Like you I love coffee mugs, I can’t even drink coffee. I always used to decorate with the traditional bulbs and now with my Christmas tree that at the age of 73 we purchased an artificial tree that is lighted with soft lights. Your haul today was giving me ideas to go shopping at Hobby Lobby’s. I hope you have a great and Happy Thanksgiving🧡🤎🍂🍁🦃
Kristen...Lilly, though.. what a little angel!!! Y'all are too sweet!! I love watching your channel..your girls are precious. HAPPY ALMOST THANKSGIVING!!
I just love seeing little Lily she is so cute. Also Kirsten if you want the striped, red ribbon I had to go back in the other ribbon by the fabric to find it. I only bought 2 and wish I had bought more. I love the little tree too. Great finds. God bless
Oh my gosh that baby !!! Sooo Precious! Love how you both coordinate. You had me laughing because you always say your not into red but you keep Coming up with red items. The thing is you are attracted to red and nothing to be ashamed of hahaha I love some red here and there not lots of red or big pieces of red or a bright red but putting some out in little touches here and there looks so warm and cozy in winter. I couldn’t agree more with you about the lights . I hate the new lights So fake and overly bright no warmth just so harsh . Our neighbors did the outside of their house in blue ones and they were so blinding and ugly . I just put candles in my windows for a soft warm welcoming glow that’s all we need. You made some very nice purchases . I really loved that tree just beautiful. Speaking of beautiful you look glowing with beauty from the inside out. Keep shining the light of the lord people need to see that more than ever. God Bless you and your family 🙏🕊💕🌹
Great video! I'm running to Hobby Lobby tomorrow to get that little tree, the pinecone picks and the pine stems! Hobby Lobby is one of my favorite places to get decor for Christmas. Lily is just so precious, I always enjoy seeing her in your videos. Wishing you and your family and blessed Christmas! 🎄
Hello Kristen and sweet Lily! She's getting so big, and she's so adorable!🥰 I wish we had a target just a like closer. Its only about 20min if the traffic isn't to bad. But the area i live in is a small town that has become VERY over populated! There are dozens & dozens of 50+ neighborhoods. This time of year its even more over crowded with the retirees from up north coming to their winter home, in one of those neighborhoods. Plus they're steady building apt complexes & more housing communities everywhere you look! All that to say, i hate going anywhere, traffic is always horrific here!☹️ Lol, back to Target..i would love to have one of each of those little rolling pins, so cute! Although my fav stockings are the vintage or vintage inspired ones made from the tapestry fabric & also love ones made from quilt pieces.. but i will say those cable knit ones in Target were gorgeous! I don't think I've ever seen chargers made with greenery.. loved those!💚 I really like the garland with cinnamon, cranberries & pinecones, very pretty! I want to pick up a couple of he bell garlands.. but I'll rub the bells with antiquing wax to make them look older & not so shiny. I love all the berry stems..i love anything with berries! The faux 'sugar coated' ones are beautiful.. which are the ones you asked what they're called.😉 I agree, LED lights are way too bright! At Christmas I was a soft, warm, glow not a Star Wars battle!😄 I think that's a great analogy by the way😁 I love the cedar tree, it look very realistic! You did great with the budget, you're better than me!🫣lol You did pick up some nice pieces tho! Enjoyed the video & thanks for sharing! I pray you have a blessed & wonderful Thanksgiving!🙏🏻🦃
I cannot stand LED lights either!!! I have been hoarding the incandescent ones! However, the quality has gone down so much we just bought new ones three years ago for our tree, last season when I got them out only one lit up. How DO they die safely in a box in our closet over the summer? I was so frustrated that I got on Amazon and found tiny LED lights in warm white, and I love them. They don't get hot, don't burn out (no more digging around for replacement bulbs). The cranberries you picked up are supposed to look like old fashioned sugared cranberries, that's an old tradition. I have NEVER had a command hook that worked! Lucky you that they work for you.
You can buy a "gun" (I don't know what else to call it) that FIXES your burnt out light stran ds. You have to make sure it's a gun that's made for incandescent lights, not LED, because they do make both, but I'm amazed that it WORKS. I'm no scientist. I don't know how it works, but I have fixed and saved several strands that I would previously have just thrown out.
Good for you! I also love those types of lights and yes I have a hoard of them! You never know when things we love might disappear from us. I am totally on board with ya! ❤Also I am trying really hard not to buy new things I don’t need, so I get what you’re saying. Have fun this holiday with your “little women”! ❤
Kristen, you have great style on a budget. I enjoy watching your videos and shop vicariously through you. Living in rural Maine I am 90 miles from the nearest Hobby Lobby or Target. (Or TJ's or Homegoods... I could go on.)This has been an adjustment from living in NY state. Thrift shops here are not what I am used to either. I don't know how you manage it all so well. Wishing you a blessed holiday season with your beautiful family.
Love your finds....l wish we had hobby lobby and target in Canada l would so shop there! You must put thin velvet ribbon on that little tree.thanks for sharing your haul can't wait for the next video!
Kirsten your haul today is so nice!Love the little tree too! Lily is so so ad iui adorable!!Those cheeks!She doesn't miss a thing!! Enjoy everything!😁🎄❤🎄👍
A+ on Reserved. Fot some reason I didn't think you l8ked Hibby Lobby but I do, too. I also have to be careful about being reserved in HL. I ALSO AGREE ABOUT THE LIGHTS. HATE LED. DONT LIKE THEIR LOOK! LOOKS FUNNY! LOVE THAT TREE. MIGHT HAVE TO CHECK THAT OUT AT MINE NUT PROBABLY BE OUT. BUT I'LL TRY! THANKS!
I have colored led 🤨Christmas lights, because I couldn’t replace my original fuses on my old fashioned c-7 lights last year. It’s just a small tree used in a corner of our kitchen. I 100% agree with you…. They are HORRIBLE! I will be looking for another solution this year.
I also have a mug addiction. 12 mugs alone for me. 😂 my mum told me ones declutter but i need them all. 2 are small, 1 is even smaller. A few are bigger. Than the design etc ... 😂
I just love your videos! My daughter & I love thrifting and antiques! But I do love me a good Hobby Lobby find:) And yes I would take it as a compliment:) lol
I will not buy LED lights EVER ! I’m afraid that someday , they will only have LED . So hard to find light bulbs they are not LED . I use a full spectrum health lighting bulb throughout our home 💡♥️
I have a question about all the supplements that are sponsoring my favorite youtubers' videos. There's a new one each week or so it seems. Do you all take all of them? I'm overwhelmed about what to purchase and how do I afford them.?
Congratulations on having a day almost to yourself, and to being fiscally responsible. I mean, who says we're supposed to buy new stuff every year? Oh, that's right, the companies SELLING it. No, thanks. It's much better to re-use what you've got, maybe buy a couple of new things, but Christmas is about home and tradition -- and Jesus, of course. I love pulling out all my old favorites, seeing some family vintage ornaments, and having the grandkids go, "I remember this one ", and "Here's my favorite ". I used to buy, buy, buy, and then I just ended up with way too much! What's the point in that?? We need to be good stewards of our money and our homes, so -- high five! ❤
I have noticed that a lot of the "retail designers" such as Martha and Magnolia are copying Vintage designs. Almost like the real thing. Including Hobby Lobby so don't take it the wrong way. It's hard to tell these days if it's OLD or NEW OLD. I thought it was very fitting that Lisa from Farmhouse on Boone is building a Old New Home! That says it. Vintage items if in perfect condition are so expensive! I'm glad retail has caught on to what we like and went back to the vintage look! Your place is you and that is what matters. Not that white with gray that most have in their places now! I like beige color. It matches everything and is warm. The white/gray obsession is just a FAD and will soon be OUT. Your color choice is long lasting and you will never tire of it. At 62 I've always been a beige nature color girl. My place is beige with the 70's colors.
Have you seen the DIY videos where someone takes thrift store village pieces, or dollar tree village houses, and spray paints them all white? Ends up a high end "look", for soooo much less money.
SO proud of you👏👏👏clever girl! Well done! 😅 (was that enough reassuring praise?)😂 fun video. I too LOVE Hobby Lobby❤ That was my nr 1 wish to visit when we were in the US in July😅And they had 40% off on fabrics. I brought 9 yards with me back to Norway😅
First of all, Lilly is absolutely adorable! Those cheeks!! Precious! I'm with you about the light situation, I hate LED's. I love beautiful warm lights, there's nothing like them. I am sure that your tree and your home will be gorgeous for Christmas as always. Enjoy decorating, I can't wait to see!!! ❤🎄
Love the haul you got. And you're right..the Stanley ornaments are beautiful but to fill a tree would be way too much for me. So pretty though 🤔🤔🤔. Lily is so beautiful..I just want a spoon to eat her up. Your home will be beautiful, all done up with Christmas. ❤😊
I despise LED lights too, but there are no stores within a 2 state region that sell incandescent. What happened? Can we protest so they will make them again? Or where can we buy them? I’m willing to fly there!!!
I too live in Ontario. I purchased some red berry stems and some burgundy coloured nail polish (Dollar Tree polish is fine). Then I painted each berry the darker colour. Of course, this is tedious and not practical if you have many to do. But for a few stems it does solve the problem and gives you a better colour.
I love your stuff. Hobby lobby is my jam!!! Also, what editing software do you use if you don't mind sharing. I think i may need a new one for my channel and I think you di a great job editing on your channel.
I notice many people change their tree every year with a new look. I love my tree ornaments and look forward to using the same ones every year. Is that odd? It only comes once a year. I may pick up a few new things but I love the tradition of using the same decorations year after year! Guess I am just old fashion lol. Love the fact you only got a few things that spoke to you.
Same here :)
Same
Yes! Same! My girls so look forward to hanging ornaments as there are memories attached to them that are built upon each year.
Thats what I was trying to communicate but not good with words lol!
@@marebear09 Okay it's not just me😄
I really appreciate that you keep it real and look after your $. There is so much consumerism and I'm sure you must feel the pressure of being an influencer at this time of year. It's so refreshing too that you don't follow the same trends.

I agree about the beauty of incandescent lights! In my day, that is all that we used and they were wonderful!! Go for it girl!! 🥰
The baby girl is absolutely adorable ☺️
Agree! I thought she was so cute I inadvertently started talking baby talk and showed her to my husband. Plus that bow wrap is adorable!
Kristen your videos are the best and what gorgeous daughters you have! Love all your finds! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
I agree with you about LED lights. I bought them by mistake and put them in a wreath in our mud room. Bugs me every time I look at them. 😂 Gonna have to stock up on the others. I am proud of you for using restraint on your purchasing. Way too much spending and changing every year. 😊
I agree I DO NOT LIKE LED LIGHTS. 💯 back your statement!
I so agree with you about the led lights. I am not a fan either. I decorate my tree with the same ornaments every year. Even after my children moved out out on their own. I keep saying I am going to do something different and then the nostalgia gets me.
Yeah...I liked it so much last year that I took pictures and am trying to replicate it this year!
With you on the led light perspective!!! They’re so cold and blue-ish!!
Proud of you! The spend-more-spirit can be contagious this time of year! Love the beauty your are cultivating, not only in home but also in your family and spirit. God bless!
I am so in line with your incandescent lights and bulbs ! You are totally right.
“They’re beautiful, they’re gorgeous.. they’re expensive” me everytime I browse the hearth and hand section 😂 I didn’t know Target had all of those ornaments!! So sweet ❤
I totally agree about the lights! I hope they don’t stop making the regular ones.
I agree with incandescent lighting. They baby girl looks like a doll!!! So cute!!! Can’t wait to see your beautiful home in Christmas decor!!!
Lilys little face is the cutest. ❤
You are so right about the lights! I’m hoarding them!! AND…since I don’t care for how bright some of them are, so I sit while watching UA-cam, and color each light with magic markers. Usually brown, yellow, or orange, or a combination of all three. They stay translucent, like stained glass, and provide just the right glow. But LED’s are YUCK!
I’m like you on the mugs, prices, holiday prepping, and the baby is scrumptious, and I’d be kissing those cheeks for days. ❤️ and our Hobby Lobby is out of those trees, and I found Robert Stanley big, red goblets at Goodwill for $1.99 each, which I thought was a lot, till I saw them at HL for I think $11.99 each! Half off, they’re $6!! So I was SO happy! Still had his sticker on the bottom.
Happy Dance. 🕺🏼 Great video. Don’t forget I have a channel, but my cute baby twins are 24 yrs old, so I can’t have them with me. ☹️🤭

Lily is the perfect christmaa cherub!!
I’m with you on the LED lights!!!
😊always such a pleasure to see Lily’s cute little baby face. I have 4 kids too ages 9-4 so I totally get the “semi-alone” time. ❤
Agree about the lights! Hate LED lights! You should be proud as restraining what you buy! Everything is beautiful! I’m a blue person though all year long! 🎄💙🎄

Hi Kristen, I enjoyed watching your video today, your haul was nice. Thank you for sharing the information. God Bless you and your family. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Good job for not going overboard. I like all you picked up and I wish we had a Hobby Lobby in Canada. You little Lilly is just so adorable and she seems to be so easy going… just like her mommy. You have a wonderful family… the Lord has certainly blessed you. All the best to you all.❤❤
No led lights for me either! I even stocked up on incandescent light bulbs before they stopped producing them. Have a bin full in all wattage sizes.
I agree with the led lights! Great haul!!❤
Lilly resembles Rosie 🌹
Such a beautiful family
I love that you didn’t go overboard on your little shopping trip
I never liked LED lights either , I found a great strand of lights that wasn’t, and I was so happy
❤️🎄❤️
I bought that little stable for my little nativity set last year, it was so darn cute ,and a great deal
I agree with you about the led light! 👍🏻🎄
I am not crazy about LED lights either. Your baby is adorable!💕

Try the fabric department for the ticking ribbon. I bought mine there in HL.
I think Hobby Lobby has the red ticking striped ribbon in the fabric section. I saw some at our store last week.

Hello Kristen and sweet Lily! She's getting so big, and she's so adorable!🥰 I wish we had a target just a like closer. Its only about 20min if the traffic isn't to bad. But the area i live in is a small town that has become VERY over populated! There are dozens & dozens of 50+ neighborhoods.

I hate LED lights. They give me a headache. And looking at a christmas tree with them actually makes me dizzy.
You’re not alone. I hate LED lights too.
Good for you! I also love those types of lights and yes I have a hoard of them! You never know when things we love might disappear from us. I am totally on board with ya! ❤Also I am trying really hard not to buy new things I don’t need, so I get what you’re saying. Have fun this holiday with your “little women”! ❤
Some places need a cool to touch led light (just like some spots need battery candles for safety). I use both but in separate locations when possible.
Purchase the items that you like because that is what you like ❤
I agree with you on LED lights!!! They make me "epileptic"
Kristen, you have great style on a budget. I enjoy watching your videos and shop vicariously through you. Living in rural Maine I am 90 miles from the nearest Hobby Lobby or Target. (Or TJ's or Homegoods... I could go on.)This has been an adjustment from living in NY state. Thrift shops here are not what I am used to either. I don't know how you manage it all so well. Wishing you a blessed holiday season with your beautiful family.
Same. I'm in the sticks in Virginia and have the same kind of distance. When I go there it is an EVENT!
Your baby is precious ❤
I have found red ticking stripe ribbon in the sewing section of Hobby Lobby, not with the Christmas ribbon. I believe it’s Merchant 41
Love your finds....l wish we had hobby lobby and target in Canada l would so shop there! You must put thin velvet ribbon on that little tree.thanks for sharing your haul can't wait for the next video!
Kirsten your haul today is so nice!Love the little tree too! Lily is so so ad iui adorable!!Those cheeks!She doesn't miss a thing!! Enjoy everything!😁🎄❤🎄👍
A+ on Reserved. Fot some reason I didn't think you l8ked Hibby Lobby but I do, too. I also have to be careful about being reserved in HL.
I ALSO AGREE ABOUT THE LIGHTS. HATE LED. DONT LIKE THEIR LOOK! LOOKS FUNNY!
LOVE THAT TREE. MIGHT HAVE TO CHECK THAT OUT
AT MINE NUT PROBABLY BE OUT. BUT I'LL TRY! THANKS!
Man sorry to all for my spelling mistakes. I REALLY NEED TO PROOF READ! FAT FINGERS, TINY KEYS!
Lily looks so much like Ivy!!!💓💓
Lily is such a cutie!! What a doll!! ❤God bless you all Kristen! Have an amazing Thanksgiving! 🙏🙏❤️😊
Oh my! Lilly is so precious! ❤️❤️❤️ Great video!
Nope I ABSOLUTELY AGREE I HATE LEDs also. They don’t look natural at all. Happy Holidays and Love from Missouri
That Creche is a very light colored wood. I think if you give a darker stain, your white nativity figures would really stand out all the more.
I love the tree so much. .
Agree 100%.... I HATE LED LIGHTS😝
I found the red ticking stripe ribbon in the fabric department of Hobby Lobby. It was 40% off!
Kristen every time I see lily she makes me laugh, she's such a beautiful precious baby.
I have colored led 🤨Christmas lights, because I couldn’t replace my original fuses on my old fashioned c-7 lights last year. It’s just a small tree used in a corner of our kitchen. I 100% agree with you…. They are HORRIBLE! I will be looking for another solution this year.
Like the cedar tree🥰
I totally agree Kristen, I can't stand LED Christmas lights too. Great haul! Hugs n kisses to precious Lilly. 🩷
Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁🦃🍂
Thank you! You too!
I also have a mug addiction. 12 mugs alone for me. 😂 my mum told me ones declutter but i need them all. 2 are small, 1 is even smaller. A few are bigger. Than the design etc ... 😂
Oh your little one is adorable
I got.a pretty star on ebay that lights up after Christmas last year
Led lights 👎. I'll take incandescent any day. The red light from the incandescent is easier on the eyes.
That baby is so cute!
Lil baby Lilly so big and cute… you do good with your$$$$ nice finds.. happy Thanksgiving to you/friends.. Blessings!!!
I just love your videos! My daughter & I love thrifting and antiques! But I do love me a good Hobby Lobby find:) And yes I would take it as a compliment:) lol
Awesome! Thank you!
I will not buy LED lights EVER ! I’m afraid that someday , they will only have LED . So hard to find light bulbs they are not LED . I use a full spectrum health lighting bulb throughout our home 💡♥️
Hello pumpkin! God bless her
Lily is so beautiful!!!🥰
She looks so precious!
Lily looks so much like Rosey!
I have a question about all the supplements that are sponsoring my favorite youtubers' videos. There's a new one each week or so it seems. Do you all take all of them? I'm overwhelmed about what to purchase and how do I afford them.?
Congratulations on having a day almost to yourself, and to being fiscally responsible. I mean, who says we're supposed to buy new stuff every year? Oh, that's right, the companies SELLING it. No, thanks. It's much better to re-use what you've got, maybe buy a couple of new things, but Christmas is about home and tradition -- and Jesus, of course.
I love pulling out all my old favorites, seeing some family vintage ornaments, and having the grandkids go, "I remember this one ", and "Here's my favorite ". I used to buy, buy, buy, and then I just ended up with way too much! What's the point in that??
We need to be good stewards of our money and our homes, so -- high five! ❤
Great choices
I have noticed that a lot of the "retail designers" such as Martha and Magnolia are copying Vintage designs. Almost like the real thing. Including Hobby Lobby so don't take it the wrong way. It's hard to tell these days if it's OLD or NEW OLD. I thought it was very fitting that Lisa from Farmhouse on Boone is building a Old New Home! That says it. Vintage items if in perfect condition are so expensive! I'm glad retail has caught on to what we like and went back to the vintage look! Your place is you and that is what matters. Not that white with gray that most have in their places now! I like beige color. It matches everything and is warm. The white/gray obsession is just a FAD and will soon be OUT. Your color choice is long lasting and you will never tire of it. At 62 I've always been a beige nature color girl. My place is beige with the 70's colors.
Have you seen the DIY videos where someone takes thrift store village pieces, or dollar tree village houses, and spray paints them all white? Ends up a high end "look", for soooo much less money.
SO proud of you👏👏👏clever girl! Well done! 😅 (was that enough reassuring praise?)😂 fun video. I too LOVE Hobby Lobby❤ That was my nr 1 wish to visit when we were in the US in July😅And they had 40% off on fabrics. I brought 9 yards with me back to Norway😅
Love your haul!❤❤❤❤❤🐶
FYI.. look in the clearance fall stuff I found those wooden beads garland for 3.00 SCORE LOL
I’m with you. I don’t like led lights either.
First of all, Lilly is absolutely adorable! Those cheeks!! Precious! I'm with you about the light situation, I hate LED's. I love beautiful warm lights, there's nothing like them. I am sure that your tree and your home will be gorgeous for Christmas as always. Enjoy decorating, I can't wait to see!!! ❤🎄
Love the haul you got. And you're right..the Stanley ornaments are beautiful but to fill a tree would be way too much for me. So pretty though 🤔🤔🤔. Lily is so beautiful..I just want a spoon to eat her up. Your home will be beautiful, all done up with Christmas. ❤😊
Now I want to go to Hobby lobby but it’s Sunday😢big no to led lights
I despise LED lights too, but there are no stores within a 2 state region that sell incandescent. What happened? Can we protest so they will make them again? Or where can we buy them? I’m willing to fly there!!!
Please share where you got your mini check , gingham coat 🤗
I got it from Neuflora! www.neuflora.com/?sca_ref=3949846.JkEm3IOQv8
I cannot find any burgundy berries here in Ontario, Canada. Michael' s has only bright red which I not like! Great find for you!!
I too live in Ontario. I purchased some red berry stems and some burgundy coloured nail polish (Dollar Tree polish is fine). Then I painted each berry the darker colour. Of course, this is tedious and not practical if you have many to do. But for a few stems it does solve the problem and gives you a better colour.
I love your stuff. Hobby lobby is my jam!!! Also, what editing software do you use if you don't mind sharing. I think i may need a new one for my channel and I think you di a great job editing on your channel.
Enjoyed
I love your jacket. Can you please share who it’s by and where it’s from? Thank you!!!
