      You have become my favorite crafter on CZcams of all times. And you actually have surpassed Holly at hot Humble Pie who was my absolute favorite. And I have to say I absolutely love your papers and I wish you would get more rub on transfers. I just ordered some Christmas decor from you can't wait to get started.💖

    Brandi… the projects in this video were phenomenal !!! I know I always say ‘I love them’ but it’s because I truly do!!!!!
    That glass ornament took me back in time for just a moment… reminded me of childhood Christmas’s…
    The small rounds after that ornament touched my heart.. paper is gorgeous…
    You amaze me every single time ! I am so grateful for you.. for sharing, for teaching and inspiring us.
    To start this endeavour (CZcams channel) must have been extremely taxing and nerve wracking to say the least . Courage … and a LOT of coffee! And to keep it up, coming up with new amazing projects constantly??? Well, clearly you are in your element in all you do … and I am so thankful I found you .

    Brandi, the metal ribbon ornaments are not only fabulous but are brillant creations. I really, really like the blue napkin Christmas scene on the clear bulb. I hope to do several of these this year now that I'm getting more confidence with napkin decopauge. The TDS paper creations were outstanding. I laughed watching you stuff that red curly ribbon down the bulb, but the bling on one and your painted trees on the other upped the look - I think they were cute.

      Because then I'm not giving complete options to share of different difficulties people face when doing this art. I like to provide options and help people expand knowledge from one point to the next. Not everyone has the same skill or even availability to a piece that might possible cover the entirety of something. It's nice for people to be like.. **Oh, I know what I can do to help that*** Right?
      Options!!
      And, in the longer version of that video because this is cut completely up, I express in detail why I did what I did. This is a Mega compilation so content has been edited to better enhance the viewing.

    Aren’t these too precious for words? 🙃. I have started looking at napkins when I go into stores. Now I know West Virginia is considered back woodsy, but damn! are these folks all wiping their mouths with their shirt sleeves? All the napkins I find are plain, white with an embossed design. Cute people; I want cute. Don’t make me cross the line into Maryland in order to find a little refinement. And I use the word little because I’m not sure you would understand modicum.
