Hey friends! Today I’m sharing an early Christmas 🎄 shop with me & haul because everything was 50% off at Hobby Lobby! Thanks for spending some time with me this weekend
@jessicasmoker738910 ай бұрын
I answer the questions as I watch. 😂 So, style/ themes at Christmas: our living room is a nostalgic, traditional look. With a hint of Biltmore on a very small scale, I like to think. 😅 I have the aforementioned Victorian style in the piano sitting room. The kitchen and dining has a lot of gingerbread houses, etc. the family room is a pastel, shabby chic scheme. The kids’ rec room is little red truck and classic Christmas. 🥰 My daughter’s room is nutcracker, land of sweets- she is excited to add some more pieces from hobby lobby’s new line this year!! Our bedroom is a Winter Wonderland look, with all flocked greenery.

Hi Ava! Hope to see how you decorate for Christmas. I love the pink glam. My main tre came with lights. They can be changed from clear to colored. Last year, I did a lot of glam pics and sprays from the Decorators Warehouse store. I put a few ornaments. I have a pink tree that I do in pastel colors and gingerbread candy land. I do a small tree in the traditional gingerbread theme. I am going to put a white 4ft tree in my bedroom in pink. I do a 4ft tree in my classroom in traditional colors.

This is the first time I've seen your channel. Enjoyed the video immensely. I will be decorating with naturals, like pinecones and wood accents. (Loved the wood snowflakes) Also dark green and cream. Maybe using red iced berries for some subtle pop of color. Most importantly, I was so happy to discover your relationship with Christ. Made the video even more enjoyable for me.

I always go with a deeper darker red and I add in natural, rustic ornaments, etc. I have 15ft ceilings so I have a Martha Stewart 12 foot prelit tree I bought from Lowes a few years ago. I put that one by the fireplace. I need that 9ft pre-lit tree for my foyer. Heading to Hobby Lobby now. Thank you for sharing. 😊

Love the gospel message at the end of your video! We added a light up nativity to our front yard last year. It was a blessing to get a note, in the mail, from a neighbor thanking us for helping her to slow down and think more about Jesus birth at Christmas time. ❤

Hi Ava. Love your Video. I almost want to sat we should start all Christmas videos with a reminder of the reason for the Season. I love Wreaths and decorating with Reindeers and Snowmen and Gold is usually my base color as i tend to switch back and foth from year to year. I decorate my whole home top to bottom. I LOVE Christmas.

This will be my sons first Christmas, I'd like to get a small tree for the nursery and let him pick out an ornament every year ❤
@aileenbell675010 ай бұрын
Every other year I do a Bell tree (for our name). We have a collection of Bell ornaments, and I tend to do traditional colors to fill in for the “Bell” years. We are always looking for cute new Bell accessories for the tree. I picked up some Bell ribbon at HL already and also some blue ornaments for our small red and blue tree (go UA Wildcats!!!).

I'm looking for a 7-8.5 foot tree, narrow but not skinny. No flocking, pre-lit preferably multi-color or white, both if possible. Thanks for such a wonderful breakdown of Hobby Lobby's Christmas decor!!
@susanreynolds994710 ай бұрын
i'm loving the more natural looking artificial Christmas trees.. Unlit so i can add random twinkle lights. i'm loving the Vickerman Alberta Spruce 7.5 unlit ... because it is sparse it needs to be a little taller..... and for flocked version i am drooling over the Everlands Snowy Norway Spruce 6 ft or 7 ft. I'm seriously done with the upside ice cream cone shaped trees. for decorating the tree i like natural elements .... pinecones, birds, squirrels, wood, with a little pop of color here or there. love your shopping videos.

Hey Ava, I got the trees last week lol in the tins, I am looking for the matching garland, we didn’t have it our stores! Also my style is country rustic style, we have mountains n a lake near us, thank u for asking, I would appreciate u pointing out those kind of items for us! ❤️we get a real tree every year! I have some fake ones too tho. I like unlit so I can put on my own lights, when prelim goes bad, it’s a pain to take off to try n keep the tree or I feel like I am wasting money which we can’t afford that especially now, Great video n thank u so much for sharing! 😊❤️🎁💕⭐️🍁
@JShow7810 ай бұрын
I grabbed my pre lit tree a few years ago and o can honestly say that even if the lights only work for 5 years then I have to remove and string my own, it would have been worth it

I didn't need to watch til the end of the video to know you have Christ in your heart. I could see it right away and maybe even more so, i could hear it in your voice. God bless you 😊. I am on a gingerbread kick this year and I'm starting right away. I'm making wreath sized snowflakes from scrap wood and painting gingerbread theme as a start. Sooo cute! I'm even going to try a gingerbread nativity scene. Wish me luck 😂.

Hi Ava! Perfect timing, I have been keeping my eye out for Christmas Decor! I am on a hunt for a 5’-6’ slim pre-lit tree without flocking and a 61/2’-7’ pre-lit full tree without flocking. There aren’t too many styles of Christmas decor that I don’t like but I’m hoping to decorate our primary tree in silver, gold and burgundy with a kiss of pink. Having a hard time finding burgundy ornaments though! I really liked the burgundy ribbon that you showed. I’m hoping to get a lot of inspiration from your channel this year. TFS!

Girl why did my kids already hand me their Christmas lists, I'm like can we at least get past Halloween before you give this to me smh. Last year I went over the top because it was our first Christmas in our new house, however this year I think I'm going to tone it down just a little bit. This part of the year is my absolute favorite and I love all of the decor and all of the activities.

We have several trees- our main living room tree is a fresh cut one from a local farm. ❤ I am thinking of replacing my “Victorian” tree for the piano room. It’s a 4 foot prelit flocked and I loved the way the lights shine through the “snow”. But last year all the lights ended up going out. 😞 I think the lights lasted about 3 years. It was from Walmart. I may try a different store.
