Fun video. I’m glad you did the tour of Central Park, I had no idea there is a Kirklands over there, yay! I haven’t shopped there in years. I was shocked to see At Home so desolate, haha! Love your hair and color, makes me want to add highlights. Have a wonderful day, sweetie: ~ Xoxo ❤️🎄
Here we go again with my comments not showing up. What in the world is with that! It’s making me crazy! Anyway thank you so much for your sweet words and yes, that Kirklands over there in Central Park is a nice one. Also, thank you so much about my highlights, I’m really enjoying them and they really do help to hide my copious amount of gray, LOL. But it is a nice change and I feel like I’m a little bit refreshed with them. Love you lady friend! Have a good one, it’s kind of gloomy and chilly today here in Virginia but I think if anyone would walk into either of our houses they might feel a little better seeing the Christmas cheer. Xox 💞💞🎄
Awww, hey there Belinda, thank you so very much for stopping over and for your sweet words!! Liz is such a sweetie and I so appreciate her lovely words! 💗
And thanks to Liz, I have! Wow, what an amazing lady she is! Thank you so much Patty for heading over, I very much appreciate it! Many Blessing right back to you this Holiday Season! 💗
Hey Arlynn!! You are so funny, " Bless her heart! " 😂 Anyway, Enjoyed today's visit!! You are right, yes the highlights do look great in your hair!! Before you said , " maybe a car chat", I was saying to myself how about a car chat!! 😂 Love those!! The new addition to the stair case is beautiful!! I'm so glad I bought things when I saw them in Oct. and early Nov., because so many stores are picked clean!! Have a great Wed.! Hugs and blessings!! 😊 🎅🎀🎄🎀🎄🎀🎅
Let’s all try and help Arlynn reach her goal of 30,000 subscribers!!! She is a sweet, kind human being and an absolute joy to share time with throughout these challenging days. God Bless You All!
Hi Arlynn! Liz from Traditions by the Season sent me here! I already knew within a few seconds of your video that I was going to like you! I hope you get to your goal of 30k. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
Hi Deborah! Thank you so very much for coming over from Liz', her shoot-out was amazing and I just turned over 30k this morning. Wow!! Thank you for your sweet words about my videos girl and welcome! 💗
Having all the warm feels with Central Park!!! I grew up going to the mall across Rt 3 and remember the golf course!!! 🥰 I went to a prom there when it was a Sheraton!
I just love this Arlynn. Love seeing where you go and how you live. So fun. And don't you know little Maverick will love that little Santa Elf! He will love it!! So cute and perfect on the bull nose. Those are sweet gifts you received. Hugs
I watched 3 videos while wrapping gifts tonight. Came here form Traditions By The Seasons as well. Love your spirit and love watching recipes and decorating. Your ending words makes me almost cry. Jesus loves your heart I’m sure of it!!!
Hi Kim, awww, thank you so very much for coming over, Liz was such a sweetie to give me such a lovely shout-out. I so appreciate you taking the time out of your schedule to watch some of my videos while wrapping gifts. Thank you too about my final words; as I mentioned, I do really feel as if He gifted me with them and, if you will, expects me to say them at the end of each video. :) Welcome to my channel!! 💗
Hi Arlynn, we use “affresh” once a month to clean our washer. They come in tablet form and you can find them on Amazon. Love your video as usual! Have a great week
Hi Arlynn, you look so refreshed & nice today. You are so sweet! I feel like I could just walk in your home, prop up my feet & have a cup of cocoa.LOL. Love the country rides. Stay safe.. Hugs & Love
Hi Arlynn! I’m a newer viewer and subscriber. I love your house and how you decorate! You inspired me to go all out with my Christmas decor this year! My mom watches you too. I enjoy seeing the fun local shops that you go to.
Hi Arlynn, Thank You For Your Final Words. I Have Arthritis In My Lower Back, Hips And Legs. Last Week I Couldn't Walk. You Kept Me Company. Thank You For Your Prayers ! I Love You To Bits To Bits And Your Hugs All Around !! Thank You, Nancy
Enjoyed your video today! I love watching you wether you are decorating or answering questions. Your Christmas home is stunning! You have such beautiful decorations. The glamour Santa you added to your stairway is so dynamic and he is really a show stopper! Looking forward to your next video. I hope its you making your peanut butter fudge! My mouth will be watering while your making it😊
Jimmy Dean sausage dip is soooo good 1 roll jimmy dean regular sausage browned and drained off 1 package cream cheese softened 1 can regular rotel original drained then just mix all 3. Eat with tortilla chips or scoops. Everyone loves it!! It's very low carb as well. I have lost 60 pounds in the last year on low carb diet and feeling great.
Love all your videos and your Christmas home tour is absolutely gorgeous!! You have such a beautiful home and I love your decorating style! Thank you for sharing, have enjoyed watching your channel! Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Love Santa/elf!! Going to see if I can find one. I need him in my life!! Lol. Fun Vlogmas, you are always entertaining and informative!! Thanks again👍🎅🏼🤶🏻🎄🙏
Hi Pam, he is so cute in person too, sometimes I wish I could hand things to y'all so you could pick it up and feel it. He is made really well, I think you will love him if you do end up getting one for yourself. :) 💗 They do have him online, I just checked: www.athome.com/red-sitting-santa-20/124307473.html
Your Santa looks very cute on your stairs. Thanks for your impromptu videos of you doing your daily routines. It’s nice to see the simple activities and travels and get to know you more. I think your home would be great for a Christmas tour! In 2013, we participated in our town’s second annual tour and it was a lot of fun. Our community did it as a fundraiser and sold 300 tickets. It was interesting as it decided to snow the morning of the event and we had 300 people coming into our home with snowy boots and shoes. One of my former coworkers was a guest on the tour and she was so funny, running into my kitchen, grabbing paper towels and wiping up the hardwood floor, lol. My oldest daughter had gotten engaged a few weeks before the tour, so our children, my mother-in-law and our future son-in-law all were tour guides. We didn’t get to the other homes in the tour, as we had a lot of activity and the roads got very slippery, so it was difficult, but a very fun day and to be in an event where we raised $7500 was so rewarding. Unfortunately, our town only did the tour one more time. Would be nice if they’d bring it back (of course, not until this pandemic in through). Looking forward to your daily videos. Have a great week!
OH gosh what a NEAT DAY!!! (Except for that snow...gracious me...hahahaha). :) So nice that y'all raised that much money! Just wonderful, and yes, very rewarding! ❤️
Omg, if people don't like a video they should just turn it off and not say anything. Why be rude. You are so sweet and accommodating and real! Love you bunches!!!!
Hi Arlynn, Loved seeing you again today. Love your hair and highlights and since finding you just a few days ago you have become one of my besties. You are so kind to share what seems like most all of your life with us. I'm sure I speak for others when I say we love you to the moon and back. Safe safe and may God bless you and your family. See you soon. (probably on another video in a few) lol
Congratulations on surpassing your 30k goal before Christmas. Liz at Traditions by the Seasons referred her subs to your channel. She loves you, and now so do I! God bless you and yours.
Hi Nancy, yes, Liz sure did, she was so generous and sweet with her shout-out. Thank you so much for coming on over here too girl. :) God Bless you and yours as well! And welcome! 💗
Hi Arlynn, I'm so glad I found you a couple weeks ago! I moved to Texas almost 3 years ago to be a little closer to family but I miss Spotsylvania/ Fred area soooo much. I lived in Chancellor West which is probably not too far from you. Anyhow we probably roamed the same exact places and never even met! I thank you so much for your show and your tours. It absolutely warms my heart to see all those places as I miss my friends and all those places. I feel like I'm on a trip with you just piddling around since I know EXACTLY where you're at. Thank you again for giving me a piece of Virginia and for your fun travels and showings of your great ideas! Abby
Well, My goodness, isn’t that something. You were right Chancellor West is pretty close to where we live! And I am so glad that I can bring you a taste of where you used to live! I bet it is kind of funny for you to come with us and watch where we go and know the exact roads and so on. I feel sure that we have crossed paths before as you mentioned! You take good care of yourself and will keep traveling around here and bringing you more tastes of “home”. 💓
Hi J Hero! Awww, another Virginian! YaY!! Thank you so much for subscribing, Liz' shout-out was amazing, I'm so touched, humbled, and grateful!! Welcome! 💗
You mentioned gas prices,I noticed today at our Walmart it was 1.79. We are in a very small town in southwest VA. Love seeing your area my sister lives Spotsylvania also.
Love the Santa elf! I always make a taco roll up with cream cheese and taco seasoning spread on a flour tortilla and cheddar cheese and olives! So yummy
Arlynn thank you so much for answering my question on your video today. 😊. I love your Sweet Santa for your bull nose. I think he will be perfect there and little Maverick will love it too!

Cream cheese blended with dried chives to your liking shape into a dome served with Wheat Thins around dome. You can use your little Christmas knives. Always a hit.

Hi Arlynn, enjoying seeing your area and the goodies that are left in the store. I always get hung up in the blue and white jar etc section. LOL I've not been in but 4 stores this past year so I am lacking but amazon has been finding my home too many times. LOL Nice to see your area and your fav's around there. Nice to see sunshine as well. We've not seen it for a while in Seattle/Tacoma area. Loving the color of your hair in this video........very young look and I love that. Your blue eyes are standing out today just beautifully. Enjoy seeing the goodies in your containers........you are set for just about any season there it appears. :-) God bless......have a beautiful rest of your day!
Oh my gosh Arlynn I love, love, love that Santa elf too! He is so CUTE!! I couldn't believe how bare the shelves were at the At Home store! Wow, just wow! You know you were talking about getting your hair did, well I haven't told you this before but we are on the same schedule. Lol I get my hair done this week too! In past videos when you mention your getting your hair done, I think to myself... I am too! 😁 Have a great rest of your week my sweet UA-cam friend! Love ya! 💕🤗
Hi Renee, Right, isn't he the cutest?!! And that is really neat that we're on the same hair schedule, we can commiserate about how tough it is to get through this last bit of time before getting it done. ;) You have a great rest of the week as well gf. :)
Central Park! Used to eat and shop there all the time when I was at Mary Washington just down the road. I actually know what you’re talking about! So much has changed!
It is a small world!! And yeah, this area has changed so much through the years...and continues to do so. Shoot if I haven't been in a part of town for a while I just about get lost trying to find my way around again. ;) lol ;) Thanks for watching! 💗
Glad you'll have a family gathering. Here in Pittsburgh we are waiting to hear any day now if there will be a 14 day restriction on gatherings and only take outs for restaurants. God bless. Pittsburgh. PA

Hi Arlynn! Luv that Santa. Thanks for sharing with us and your hair looks great long or short on u, so u do what u want to your hair and who cares about someone else’s opinion, cause opinions r just that and opinion. I wish people with their opinions would keep them to their selves if it isn’t up lifting to the other person they should keep it to them selves. Have a great lunch with Chris! Xoxo ❤️🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄
Thank you for another enjoyable video. I would like to know what breed the two larger dogs were? They were so cute. Also. if you share recipes, I have one for those who would like an ultra- -easy dip. You simply add a block of cream cheese to a can of thick chili beans - in a saucepan and slowly heat and mash the beans. If you would like it super smooth it can go in a blender. Serve hot with tortilla chips.
Hi was just at Liz's channel, I am coming to check you channel out and I have found that I am enjoying your videos. I am so glad that I came the check you out.
Awww, thank you so very much Kim!! And welcome to my channel, it is great to have you here! Liz is a wonderful and very sweet lady, I am so humbled by your shout-out. 💗
Oh you are so lucky that you are going to be able to share Christmas with your family. I have tears in my eyes as I say that because of our numbers being so high, having parents in their 80s and me high risk we all will not being able to get together. Also my brothers and SILs are teachers, nurses and Policemen, just too risky.😥
Awww, I hear you Cindi, I'm actually not sure what will be happening, our Governor is supposed to come on and make "regional" shut downs today...not sure what that means. ANYway, I feel your pain dear lady...I'm so sorry! 💗
Hi Arlynn First off let me say that you have a glow about you and look really cute in this video 😉 I have a couple of questions for you if you don't mind answering them.I love to hear about childhood memories. 1.What is one of your FAVORITE childhood memories? 2.Did you have a FAVORITE pet growing up as a child? 3.Do you have a baby picture of you,Chris,and lil' Maverick that we could see all three together to compare? Your grandson is a cutie patootie 👶 I love love love that new Santa Claus 🎅 sitting on the newel.Thank you for all that you do and for being the sweet person you are.
Arlynn I have been watching you for a good while, I watch you on my tv and it doesn’t allow comments so I am doing this on my phone that’s how much I felt the need to tell you this. About one day being involved in a Christmas home tour. My friend did that one year and it was a nightmare. People just don’t respect others belongings. Also without details a child (boy) asked to use her bathroom and well she had to scrub the floor and walls. Just an FYI, something to think about.
OH dear Tina!! Thank you for relaying that information to me...yikes!! I do not need to have all that 'business' happening in this house...Yikes!!! Again, thanks a bunch! 💗
My Brother-in-law’s name is similar pronunciation as yours but spelled “Arlene.” He hates it because no one can pronounce it. Question: do you collect a certain type of Milkglass?
Awww, thank you Kathy--The Black Newfoundland's name was Sophie, the Brown Newfoundland's name was Samson (and he and I were a therapy team), and the sweet Golden Retriever's name was Gracie. I miss them all so much. Thanks fo asking! 💞
@@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner I love your hair long but really doesn’t matter what we think right?!! As long as you like it 🥰 I wish ppl would leave these comments.
@@fowlermb YES, thank you so much Marybeth!!! I have to say that I agree about the comments with a bit of a negative connotation, that one didn't give me a very warm, fuzzy feeling at all. :/
@@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner and I don’t usually comment but when I saw your ouch that did it. It’s so easy for ppl to “write” whatever they feel. Would they say that in person?!! I get heated. I’m like you. I’m a crier lol but boy I can get heated too. Ok. Have a great day 🥰
The Santa was the perfect touch on the bullnose! I love starting my day out by watching your Vlogmas. I always look for your newest video first.
Fun video. I’m glad you did the tour of Central Park, I had no idea there is a Kirklands over there, yay! I haven’t shopped there in years. I was shocked to see At Home so desolate, haha! Love your hair and color, makes me want to add highlights. Have a wonderful day, sweetie: ~ Xoxo ❤️🎄
Here we go again with my comments not showing up. What in the world is with that! It’s making me crazy! Anyway thank you so much for your sweet words and yes, that Kirklands over there in Central Park is a nice one. Also, thank you so much about my highlights, I’m really enjoying them and they really do help to hide my copious amount of gray, LOL. But it is a nice change and I feel like I’m a little bit refreshed with them. Love you lady friend! Have a good one, it’s kind of gloomy and chilly today here in Virginia but I think if anyone would walk into either of our houses they might feel a little better seeing the Christmas cheer. Xox 💞💞🎄

Hi Arlynn, enjoying seeing your area and the goodies that are left in the store. I always get hung up in the blue and white jar etc section. LOL I've not been in but 4 stores this past year so I am lacking but amazon has been finding my home too many times. LOL Nice to see your area and your fav's around there. Nice to see sunshine as well. We've not seen it for a while in Seattle/Tacoma area. Loving the color of your hair in this video........very young look and I love that. Your blue eyes are standing out today just beautifully. Enjoy seeing the goodies in your containers........you are set for just about any season there it appears. :-)
God bless......have a beautiful rest of your day!

In past videos when you mention your getting your hair done, I think to myself... I am too! 😁 Have a great rest of your week my sweet UA-cam friend! Love ya! 💕🤗

She put a funky bow on your ornament, 😉🎄🎁💞 so cute
Arlynn you must look back on that three year video and be so proud of yourself with the weigh loss. Love you sweet lady.
Hi Arlynn! Luv that Santa. Thanks for sharing with us and your hair looks great long or short on u, so u do what u want to your hair and who cares about someone else’s opinion, cause opinions r just that and opinion. I wish people with their opinions would keep them to their selves if it isn’t up lifting to the other person they should keep it to them selves. Have a great lunch with Chris! Xoxo ❤️🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄
Thank you so much normal! And I cannot say that I disagree with you in anyway shape or form. ❤️
Thank you for another enjoyable video. I would like to know what breed the two larger dogs were? They were so cute. Also. if you share recipes, I have one for those who would like an ultra- -easy dip. You simply add a block of cream cheese to a can of thick chili beans - in a saucepan and slowly heat and mash the beans. If you would like it super smooth it can go in a blender. Serve hot with tortilla chips.
Thank you so much Veronica! Our two larger dogs were Newfoundlands...gosh how I miss them! And thank you or those recipes!! YUM! 💗
Thank you for answering my question about your name, Ar-LYNN, not Arlene, not Arhlun😎. You are the cutest gal. Be blessed❣️
Check out Costco for your hangers. They are are around $15 for 50 hangers!!
Hi Nancy, unfortunately, I don't have a membership to Costco. BUT, thanks!

Hi Karen, awww, thank you for heading over!! Liz is a sweetie and I am so humbled that she gave me such a sweet shout-out. 💗
Oh you are so lucky that you are going to be able to share Christmas with your family. I have tears in my eyes as I say that because of our numbers being so high, having parents in their 80s and me high risk we all will not being able to get together. Also my brothers and SILs are teachers, nurses and Policemen, just too risky.😥
Awww, I hear you Cindi, I'm actually not sure what will be happening, our Governor is supposed to come on and make "regional" shut downs today...not sure what that means. ANYway, I feel your pain dear lady...I'm so sorry! 💗

Hi Arlynn
First off let me say that you have a glow about you and look really cute in this video 😉
I have a couple of questions for you if you don't mind answering them.I love to hear about childhood memories.
1.What is one of your FAVORITE childhood memories?
2.Did you have a FAVORITE pet growing up as a child?
3.Do you have a baby picture of you,Chris,and lil' Maverick that we could see all three together to compare?
Your grandson is a cutie patootie 👶 I love love love that new Santa Claus 🎅 sitting on the newel.Thank you for all that you do and for being the sweet person you are.
Nellie, I missed these questions, so I will answer/share in an upcoming video.
@@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner I was wondering about those questions but didn't want to be a pain lol thank you Arlynn 😊
Arlene, Mrs Liz needs a hug from you. Please
Hi Steve, I just left her a comment and trust me a big hug was included. :) 💗
Arlynn I have been watching you for a good while, I watch you on my tv and it doesn’t allow comments so I am doing this on my phone that’s how much I felt the need to tell you this. About one day being involved in a Christmas home tour. My friend did that one year and it was a nightmare. People just don’t respect others belongings. Also without details a child (boy) asked to use her bathroom and well she had to scrub the floor and walls. Just an FYI, something to think about.
OH dear Tina!! Thank you for relaying that information to me...yikes!! I do not need to have all that 'business' happening in this house...Yikes!!! Again, thanks a bunch! 💗
Hi Arlynn, I LOVE you're mish mashed videos. I love when you got sidetracked with the lit beaded garland. I do the same.💚🍀
That "squirrel" can pull me in all directions huh? lol ;) Thanks a bunch Debbie! 💗
Just subscribed Liz sent me. Let’s get you over 30k subscribers.
Hi D N, thank you so much for coming over!! Liz was so generous and kind to give me such a sweet shout-out!! Welcome! ❤️
My Brother-in-law’s name is similar pronunciation as yours but spelled “Arlene.” He hates it because no one can pronounce it. Question: do you collect a certain type of Milkglass?
Here per Liz of Traditions by the Seasons 😊
Hi Sassy, thank you so much for coming over from Liz'!! Welcome! 💗

Awww, thank you Kathy--The Black Newfoundland's name was Sophie, the Brown Newfoundland's name was Samson (and he and I were a therapy team), and the sweet Golden Retriever's name was Gracie. I miss them all so much. Thanks fo asking! 💞
Liz sent me.
Hi Nancy! Welcome! And thank you so much girl...Liz is such a lovely lady and I am so grateful to her for her wonderful shoutout. :) 💗
Arylyn I really think your hair looks better cut shorter. Just my opinion but in general I find a shorter length looks more youthful as we get older.
Ouch Ann. :'( I'm rather enjoying it longer and I actually think it is more becoming on me--just my opinion.
@@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner I love your hair long but really doesn’t matter what we think right?!! As long as you like it 🥰 I wish ppl would leave these comments.
@@fowlermb YES, thank you so much Marybeth!!! I have to say that I agree about the comments with a bit of a negative connotation, that one didn't give me a very warm, fuzzy feeling at all. :/
@@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner and I don’t usually comment but when I saw your ouch that did it. It’s so easy for ppl to “write” whatever they feel. Would they say that in person?!! I get heated. I’m like you. I’m a crier lol but boy I can get heated too. Ok. Have a great day 🥰
