Teresa I have watched you for years and enjoy your channel. Right now I am watching a lot of the old ones because I am missing the creative crafts you used to make instead of all the transfers now.

[@jackieburnett6881]

Gorgeous! All were super cute!! I think the Santa Claus was my favorite!!

[@jody2873]

LOVE those old Clorox bottles, but when they break- they burst to a thousand pieces, so be aware... Got to love that old glass! THANKS- ALWAYS ALWAYS LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!- they bring me peace 👍

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Awe, Jody what a sweet note! I'm so glad you enjoy my videos. Thanks so much for the tip on the bottle. I will handle it carefully!!

[@debiegordon3787]

What a Gorgeous LG Hantag! Maybe repurpose from from a ceiling fan blade💡. I have those silver coasters! ...what a great idea🌺& those clear plates too🐇👍

[@nancypeteja6560]

[@lynn4834]

Beautiful inspiration ❤️. I would ❤️ to get my hands on that decoupage paper and decorate everything in my house 🏠. Thanks for sharing all your great ideas!

[@jaynemiller6763]

The vintage Santa hands down was my favorite but a close second was the little silver plates you put the transfer on.

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Thank you! I think the santa was my favorite too.

[@pennystewart9469]

I like all your crafts, but the little silver plates were my favorite. The large Santa transfer is beautiful.

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Thank you so much!

[@robinjackson5035]

Teresa I absolutely love all of them! There is no way I can pick a favorite. They are all my favorite! ❤❤❤

[@OurGreeneAcres]

That's so sweet and so glad you loved them all. Thank you!

[@nancytodd4367]

Teresa, another idea: I use a make up sponge dipped in a diluted black paint and dab it on the edges of whatever., creating a thin irregular border, it comes out to be about 1/16th of an inch....it visually frames the piece, lends an antiquated look, and somehow finishes the piece. This would be perfect on the Santa wooden board.

[@barbarajenkins8050]

The Santa is gorgeous! I love the bleach bottle. ❤

[@jackielucchesi6654]

Love, love everything but that garland is really nice!!!!!!

[@roxiewallace2900]

Wow, what simple yet beautiful decor ideas!! Love the idea of transfers on vintage plates! And such lovely decor on wooden pieces (or that bucket) for fall and winter! 🌾🍂🍁

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@jaynebrown693]

Oh Teresa, aren’t these 2023 Seasonal Transfers fabulous ? I have been using them today making the round coasters from Amazon also. Have you ever watched Renee at “Harvest Hill Cottage ?” She used the paint color “Oakham” by Fusion with Bronze Glaze on some silver trays with the Woodland animals and they are stunning! I have so much silver from my Granddaughter’s Bridal Shower, I painted up 2 trays like she did. Gorgeous! But you are so right about even with the wood tones, these are pretty! YES…my kitties are always laying on my table when I’m trying to craft !😻😻😻😻. I gave up my sewing long drapes because as soon as the fabric gets laid out…you know it is JUST FOR THEM TO LAY ON !!! Yes, my kitties are my babies for sure ! I have the big pure breed Maine Coon Cats, so one swipe of their PLUM TAIL can take my craft off the table…LOL!!!! Thanks again for amazing ideas to use these ! God bless and pray all is well ! 🧡🧡🍁🧡🧡

[@JackieBurnsCreations]

I just love the new IOD transfers, moulds and stamps. You had such cute ideas for them.

[@donnapecoraro3126]

loved those burlap garlands from dollar tree, i made one for summer with their wood chip seahorses painted blue green, and rag strip ribbons between each piece in coordinating colors.

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Thank you! Your garland sounds so pretty. Bet it turned out great.

[@karenhill3970]

I just love this video I ordered the Christmas transfers myself on Friday I received the fairy Merry Christmas just waiting for the other two and your so right everyone is running out of these Christmas 2023 transfers it took me awhile to find them but I did. So I am so excited to start my precious and after watching you tonight I know what I will be making I love the plates and the Santa Claus he's my favorite and your coasters really turned out great I ordered that paper but haven't gotten in the mail yet.

Hi, Teresa. Adding those transfers and decoupage papers to the various thrifted and new plates sure makes for a quick and easy project. I think the coasters were my favorites. Have a great week!

[@terriallen2537]

Hello Teresa! I really enjoy seeing the fur babies assisting you with your projects. It's so difficult to pick a fave with your creations. Today it's a tie between the Santa and the banner. The transfers look so good on fabrics. I looked up Ruth & Ruby. The shop is only an hour and 20 min away from my home. I may take a drive soon to check it out. Can you let me know if any updates or new videos about condo? I can't find any new ones when I search. Thanks for always giving us your BEST. Until next time take care and God bless 😊

[@OurGreeneAcres]

I hope you can get a chance to go see Ruth and Ruby because the store is pretty amazing! Jackie has it all!! I have a condo update video going up this week so be on the look out. I will also post on FB and IG when it goes live. Thanks so much!

[@nancytodd4367]

Teresa, I think the silver plates may be wine bottle coasters, or just coasters. A way to clean a tarnished silver border on those after decoupaged is with a sunshine cloth.....thanks for your great videos.

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Thanks for the tips!

[@carolweiss8795]

It’s too hard to choose just one favorite because they were all beautiful. Teresa would you try putting a transfer on the panes of glass in a lantern? I think that would be so beautiful when the candle in the lantern was lit. It would look like stained glass!

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Oh great idea! I will be on the look out for the perfect lantern and try that! Thanks so much, T.

And, I swaney, you talk just like my best friend! Amazing. Were in LA, that's Lower Anderson, South Carolina, although I bet you thought differently! Lol! You are lovely, and I look forward to more to come! .... oh, and anytime there's a furbaby, I'm in! My pup ruffs at first, but he likes watching them, too! My puss helps keep a keen out for mice and FAERIES! ;) A little note: see if you may find a copy of Lady Cottington's Pressed Faerie Book. A HOOT! You and your faerie lovers will surely love following young Lady Cottington as she receives her first pressed flower book and ventures out into fields and forests. Then, follow her journey as it, well, diverges a few off planned paths! A must read!
