    I had an old mailbox and put a flower arrangement in it and it wasnt long before a momma bird had 6 babies in her prebuilt home. They were so sweet then they learned to fly away. I miss the little guys but it was nice watching momma take care of them.

      Sherry, I loved this video! I realize it was longer than your usual ones but I was so interested in each project that it was over before I knew it! You have such innovative ideas - I took notes on several. It’s so hard to pick a favorite. I’m hoping to try the teapot sewing kit, globe light cover on candle stand to use like a cloche, scale out of alarm clock and stove burner cover to name just a few! I really feel like I can do it! May God bless you with good health and uncountable ideas to teach us for home decor! Take good care.

      At least she reuses and recycles things, which is why I love her channel. Things can be done in a budget or inexpensive and cheap. May not be someone else's budget, but the whole concept is to get ideas that we can use of our own projects or recreate for our own taste. Ones who use crickets are expensive and even though I don't own one I still watch the videos for ideas for home projects.

    Usually when a video talks about upcycling, they just show you one idea, that they slightly vary from each craft, it's just the same item but different color or material, but they title the video "25 new ideas for upcycling"
    But, what you have done, is give actual, useful, clever, fun, and usable ideas!
    So refreshing, so excited to be a new subscriber, I look forward to all your videos.
    Thanks and have a fantastic day!

    Great projects as always! Loved the transforming of the Christmas tins. Have lots of them. Like the cigar box shelf too. Got great ideas using things I already have here at home. Great job!
