How on earth do you find time for all you do?!? All those kids, dogs, husband, home, shopping, crafting aaaannnndddd videos for us! You are super woman!! Thank you for all you do for us❤

I knew you were special. I’ve been watching you since I was hospitalized and bed bound. The first channel I watched and stayed true too. We have matching pit bull’s. Roxisaurus weighs in about 100 lbs. she’s 10 years old now. I love her so much and she loves me we’ve been thru some horrible accidents and it’s made us closer. Be blessed

@DesertDIY 6 ай бұрын

Thank you so much! Pitbulls are the best dogs ever. My dog Piper was actually named Roxy when we adopted her haha

Absolutely another haul Corey!! ❤pray for Piper to get better🐶🙏🏻 KZfaq sounds is coming thru good. I’d paint the multi colored angle sticks and get rid of the spikes in them-most candles are in jars now. As far as dogs go-been a very bad week. I had a boxer mix (whom was Pit mixed). She would have been 2 hrs in March. With me she was my Baby. She attacked my 12 yr old retriever a week ago. Had to call animal control & have euthanized, took retriever, Sunny to vet-lost 6 teeth. Had to intubate her and suture in her mouth. I jumped into fight-no bite, fractured left hand finger knuckle from the twisting. Had surgery yesterday. Emotional week for sure!! Moving forward, prepared for being out of work and got my small creative stuff 28:41 28:41 28:41 together before surgery!!

@cathyjackson5959 6 ай бұрын

Got my adult, coloring books, resin, and ink stamps with ink. Making family coasters. Left hand out of commission with big stuff for awhile!! Oh-that enamel looking bread box? I got the laundry ones-one to hold my colored pencils and the other to hold tall paintbrushes- they were taller. Still finding Gingers squeaky balls around the house!! She would smell them out when I got home from Walmart!! The longest she squeaked it was 1 hour!! It was Hillarious!! Went on too long, just such recent events, and taking Roxy!! LOL❤ LOVE your projects!!❤🌸❤️

I'm astounded that you got that many incredible items in 15 minutes! You are certainly the queen of the bins. The silver plated bowl is made by Gorham, which is a higher end manufacturer when it comes to silver plated items. I would polish it before doing anything to it like painting it. The copper might be showing through, because it was polished too many times, but it might be tarnish, so polish it to find out for sure. Some collectors look for Gorham in particular. Wow! Wow! That free furniture was a huge score! And, the lamp shade is a wonderful idea. Thx!

You know what's funny? As a 9 year old child I took apart my mother's super fancy pleated shade. She got the set from the home department at Marshall Fields in Chicago. Although I got in A LOT of trouble, I found that they were assembled with... Hot glue! Sometimes we start something and get imposter syndrome because our materials have been in low places. I think that you do a wonderful job at making your home and booth beautiful. I am impressed with how your hutch came together with the lemons. When I get a hutch I will know how to snazz up my grandmother's dishes. Until then, you are an expert. 🎉

Still going strong at seventy something,worked until just a month before she passed away. I redo furniture and craft a little but nothing like you do. And I don’t even have small children! My two are grown. See ya next week! ☺️

I think I am a mix of type A and B. I am a natural leader, but also not a perfectionist like most type A's can be. To me, finished is better than perfect.

I saw that same plate that didn't have a price on it on a different channel who does the same thing with Goodwill items, except stages them in her own home. She also wanted to buy it and it was not priced and she asked, and they gave her a high price of, I think, $3.99 or more and she left it behind, only to buy it for half price, at a later date. You and she must live in the same area of TX.
