[@gwennelson2776]

Oh Arlynn, You make me smile !!! with all your fibbing !!! lol lol but you just don't know until you give it a try. As always both the wreath and lantern with its funky bow is PERFECTION. Hugs

[@patriciabussard8532]

Hi Arlynn- Your red lantern is simply beautiful. That ornament garland makes a world of difference. I can't wait to see the rest of the outside of your home. Will be looking forward to seeing the Collab. It looked so cute seeing Sam & Gracie sitting together. They are sweethearts. See you soon. 😊🎄❤️

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Hi Patricia...Thank you so very much girl!! For *all* of your sweet words!

[@nierissa348]

Yet another gorgeous creation from the magical hands of Arlynn. You crack me up with the "I'm not going to do anything else to it." Then flash a great big "I FIB!!" up there, and proceed to add more to it. Lol. Can't wait for your home tour and to see what you do next. Love and prayers to you and yours.

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Hi Wendy! LOL---I know right? I just can't stop picking at stuff...hahaha. ;) I'll be working on my home tour footage in the next couple of days...I have a lot of it...haha...probably gonna be an hour long video! YIKES!! Thanks for that love and those prayers!!!

[@janemcgrath4907]

Hi Arlynn.I si much prefer the traditional colours.You know,they are easier to watch for me.Love it.

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Hi Jane, thank you so much lady friend!

[@nancyrodriguez8356]

Good morning my friend! Arlynn, this lantern is so country cute!! Love the ribbon colors and that bow...wow! When you decided to add the ornament garland it just made the lantern swag even more beautiful. Your diy's are definitely works of art. By the way....the teal shirt and cardigan you're wearing really enhances your eyes. Love teal and purple too! See you on Friday!

[@janemcgrath4907]

Awww the pups at the front door.Just lovely.

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Arlynn, your wreath and lantern are PERFECTION as always !!! Hugs

[@darlenecuker9711]

There was a particular lantern idea I was looking for this morning, now I'm rewatching a bunch of your videos, getting sidetracked, thinking of other projects I could try, but it's all fun. Such a pretty lantern.

[@marcialawhorn572]

As always...love..love...love what you do ...and oops...almost forgot to say " love you too !"

[@darettablack3794]

Love your little "fibbing "it always makes things "Beautiful"......!!!!! And brings a smile on my face. 😊 Have a blessed day! 💞😊

[@KazzyD]

That is simply stunning, those colours are Christmas to me, I absolutely love it !!

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Hi Kazzy, thank you so very much!!

[@judyparks5016]

Your lantern and wreath are just beautiful! I have three red lanterns that I decorate similar. I am looking forward to your home tour Friday!! Tyfs. HUGS

[@gal2202]

I just found your channel and am so glad that I did! I enjoy your projects and am getting good at making the funky bows! Thank you for sharing. And here's a helpful hint for you: I keep small bolt cutters with my craft supplies. They work way better than wire cutters for cutting those thick wired stems of floral picks. They are not very big or heavy, just about 8 inches long. They really do the trick!

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Hi Gal220, awww, thank you so much for your sweet words and welcome to my channel!! Thanks for the info on the bolt cutters. :)

[@sharonord9914]

Hey Arlynn once again you've done an amazing job and your so funny, you make my day, after watching you do lantern swags I built up the courage to do one for my lantern and it is just beautiful so my family keep saying...your my inspiration.

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Awww, Sharon...thank you so much girl...I so appreciate all of your sweet words!! And you GO girl making one of your own...and I'm so glad that it turned out for you!!! YaY!!!!!

[@brandisdecormore1075]

Ok great, thanks! I need to get over there by the end of the week to pick up a craft ring for a clothes pin wreath that I am redoing. So I will have to head over to the florals to see if I can find it.

[@toniacombs2980]

beautiful as always!!! how do you get your wreath plugged in?

[@daniellewagner1487]

Hi Arlynn, love the lantern and wreath so beautiful! I am curious how you plug the wreath in, I have only seen battery lights when on a door. How do you keep the cord from getting in the way when you open and close the door?

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Hi Danielle...Thank you so very much about the lantern and the wreath. We use regular electric string lights on the wreath and we plug them into the outlet that is on the hinged side of the door...in other words the cord doesn't get in the way when we open the door (we have outlets on both sides of the front door). :)

[@myrnahartley8710]

beautiful beautiful! LOve your props too.

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Aww, thank you so much myrna!!

[@spanisheyez6930]

Arlynn I was just wondering if you have always used lanterns for all your centerpieces? Your work is so beautiful. If not, what else have you used?

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Hi Terry...I have not always used lanterns for my centerpieces...only since I've been in this house and discovered those two big lanterns that I have on my kitchen and dining room tables. In the past, I've made my own flower arrangements...not your traditional "round" arrangements, I usually made them in my Longaberger baskets...they were all shapes and sizes. I did work with the same process that I do with the lanterns though...I usually used the same basket and switched out the accent pieces in and around them to match the Season or Holiday. :)

[@barbaranapravnik6364]

Beautiful Arlynn!!

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Thanks Barbara (I'm fixin' to post this one into the wreathing group...I think they'll like this one). :)
