I love that you laugh at yourself, it would be a better world if more people could/would do that. You are a joy to watch. Thank you

[@sandieyule1644]

Oh Brandi ...thank you! I needed this candle laugh. Lesson learned from this just cover the wooden bowl with wide enough ribbon and decorations and you wont see what is under it!!! I fractured my back in June as if living with chronic lower back problems for 23 years wasn't enough! I really needed this laugh. Love ya

[@lydialangfordjoiner765]

I hope you feel better soon♥️

[@willenediggins1939]

I just love your videos. Your laugh is contagious. I have such a great time watching you craft. Thank you for being so real.

[@teresamartin6975]

I really liked the dupe with the plungers. It really looks like birch.Birch. With the candle...I'm so glad you share with us things that don't go as planned - it is encouraging to me when things go wrong on my end. Great vlog - Thanks

[@thediystruggle]

You are so welcome! I appreciate that! That is the main reason I started this channel. I was doing diy proejects around my home looking for help on youtube. And, peoples just smiled in my face and pretend everything was easy but somehow when I WENT TO DO IT, it was not MAGICALLY this easy!

[@chilili441]

I love the logs, they look so real and I love the tag.

I love to watch you paint. I thought the 3 trees were my favorite. Then you did the painting of the black and white trees. They're both very beautiful. Can't decide which is my favorite so I think they're both my favs. I'd like to see more video's of your paintings. Amazing Brandi.

[@mandygeyer9100]

[@dorisandujar8277]

I love the laughs you bring to your videos. Living alone it's nice to have you 4 company so I can enjoy myself. The plunger logs are amazing and I am definitely making them. I love the snowmen beads as well as the chunky wood ones. So many great projects and I really enjoyed this video.

[@thediystruggle]

The plunger logs are so beautiful and realistic!! I am so happy to keep you company my friend!

So I took a chance and followed your tut on the tree landscape you did on a canvas and did mine on a woodround and your right, anyone can do it!! I literally can't draw or paint anything other then a flat colour but here I did blending and layers it gave me such a confidence boost!!! ❤❤❤

👍👍👍😂😂😂😂 your my kind of crafter, you sound like I do when crafting , love your sense of humor!😂😂😂😂

[@alisonhicks9298]

🤣🤣🤣 Oh no! It's the "candle"

[@thediystruggle]

Haha, I cracked up the entire time I watched this editing it!!

[@Chatty-Cathy823]

Excellent! I made some pillows using the canvas tote bags from DT. I left the handles on so we can take them with us - insuring a clean place to park our hine-ees. I took an old plain pillow, used half of the stuffing. I did put twine stitches on the opening and I can put them in the laundry if needed. The picture/writing might wash out but it doesn’t bother me. It’s a great hack for using the burlap totes! I hope that DT will have gingerbread totes (or maybe you could look elsewhere for me?). I agree that the pillows are great to cuddle up with or place on your back when it hurts…hmmm maybe an idea - place a heat pack in the “pocket” you create…?❤❤❤

[@0524jeri]

I love your videos and especially laughing with you. That candle was funny

[@thediystruggle]

Thank candle hated me..lol

[@thediystruggle]

lol.. its hard to believe those things can come in so handy for home decor, but they do!!!

[@MomCat03]

Wow, so I’m not a new sub but not a long time one either…definitely a fan for life, I LOVE your videos and personality. I got to see YOU, your ACTUAL face as opposed to the animated one, and girrrrrl, you are so amazing! Big brown eyes and I love, (hope you don’t take offense to this), the gaps in your teeth, that are perfectly straight btw, but with a matching upper and lower gap…lol so cool. So much better than madonnas! Lol Thx for always leaving me feeling happy and cheered up, you seem like you’d be a blast to hang out with! 💕Just wanted to let you know😊

[@thediystruggle]

I love this comment so much. Funny story. I had braces and they removed parts of my gums between my front teeth and even put a plate behind my front teeth because nothing stopped that gap from coming back. The plate snapped one day and I said muck it. GOD OBVIOUSLY wants me to have a gap so ima embrace it...lol I used to be self conscious about it, but it's so part of my personality now I couldn't imagine not having it.!!! Thanks so much for the sweet comment!!

[@MomCat03]

@@thediystruggle that’s crazy! Funny how the process was trying to get rid of something that was meant to be! It’s adorable and I’m glad knowing others see it as awesome helps you feel happy how it worked out! Your personality is really the sweetest and most relatable.

The tree I love so much, it looks so real, like you laid the branches instead of paint. Somehow I am going to like trying to meake the last one when you put the celery paint on, I love it.. I don't like the last straight out tree but the other trees are gorgeous. Thank you so much, I really love everything you do, Now I got to go shopping at the $1.00 tree, LOL. God bless you and yours
