I took the time to read many of your viewers’ comments, and was not surprised to read how much you are loved and admired. 😀 I have watched many KZbin videos throughout my illness and recuperation, but have not found a person more caring, sincere, and down to Earth as you, my friend. I share with the others, as I admire your porch that gleams with your creativity and perfect touch. Your tree is gorgeous in your home, and it gives me the longing to sit on your chair with a cup of tea and enjoy its beauty in the stillness of the night. I feel so lucky to have “met” you in 2017. You have filled my life with everything I needed during my low times. Now that I have improved, I can put to used the many ideas you have generously shared. Thank you, Arlynn, from the bottom of my heart. ❤️🎄 Cindi

[@beverlywilkinson8173]

I love that funky bow it's so lovely, Arlynn your talent comes from God my dear and I know he is pleased that you share it with all of us, with such love and affection my continued thanks and appreciation to you😍😘🎄🇹🇹

[@gillsfrillsandsomewitchysk1398]

The porch decor is stunning Arlynn,I think the sleigh has overtaken the red wagon as my favourite...it looks amazing when the lights are all on ans it's dark. My favourite things on the big tree are the snowmen and the elves that are nestled in the branches,and the planes look great.You definitely deserve to have a rest...it's been non stop for you over the past weeks.So feet up and rest young lady!! Love and hugs to you and Chris.

[@anallanes02]

Hi Arlynn. OMG, love everything but my favorite has to be when you showed your furry babies. So adorable. TFS.ana

[@ZanBeau]

Dear Arlynn, I have been watching your house tour at least 4 times and will watch this one also as many. You have influenced me quite a bit as I don't stop decorating, I feel like a little girl as we all are in our heart. Thank God you exist Arlynn because you fluff, fluff, fluff our life! xxx

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Thanks so much Cathy for your sweet words and thanks also about the pic of the three of us. :) :)

Stunning my dear sweet lady! You made all those beautiful bows thinking of others. I am sure the ladies just loved all of those bows that they received.Take time off this weekend. Get some extra rest that you desperately deserve. We will be here waiting. Love you.

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

[@bonniepar6456]

Arlynn, I loved the sleigh, gorgeous. The most outstanding thing was the photos after. I loved the ones of your dogs. I loved all the colors and tears were falling as I thought of your recent loss and I have to say my friend, you must have been missing him too at the time. God be with you always, Love, Bonnie

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Hi Bonnie! Thank you so, so much girl...and thanks about my pics of the pups too...and yes, you are very right, that is the first group of pictures I've taken with our our sweet Sophie...it was a bit sad. God be with you too dear lady!

[@angeliwas46]

Hi Arlynn I must say your porch is lovely and your tree is even more beautiful than before. Your little wood sign outside in your wagon would look cute if you could wire it on both ends and hang it on the front of your sleigh with two of your beautiful bows to cover the wire on the ends. Just an idea. I love the new sleigh. You done a great job. Have a great evening. 🎄💖

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Thanks Quadena!

[@parrishlake7321]

Beautiful. Loved the photos of the pups...adorable!! The one photo of you with the pups is stunning!

Arlynn, I absolutely LOVE your front porch cozy corners and your family room tree is PERFECTION !!!!!! Everything is so so lovely !!! We have a covered front porch but I have to secure things down well, as we have strong winds at times where we live that would blow things away. Hugs sweet utube friend !!!

[@RobinLoiselle]

Just stunning. Your place looks like it came out of a magazine. Such a lot of work but so worth it!

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Aww, thank you so very much Robin!! It is a lot of work...for sure...but, yes, it is totally worth the effort. :)

Hi Susan, I agree with you, this is the fullest that the porch has ever been...I love it for Christmas. :) And yeah, I almost couldn't take those pictures...tears were flowing...that was the first time those two had been posed out there without her...I think that they were a little lost. :'(

Hello Arlynn! Beautiful job on the porch. And your tree looks beautiful as well, I didn't realize that there were less ornaments on it before, Lol.

[@daniellewagner1487]

Oh Arlynn... I am in LOVE with your sleigh! That is so beautiful! I know you said you dont get fancy with your gift wrapping but maybe you could do some packages with extra ribbon you have left over. I am a ribbon addict and had so much left after decorating that I started using it on my presents. Atleast they match my decor..lol

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Hi Danielle...Thank you so very much gf...That is a great idea about my ribbon. :) Did you happen to see my "Bow Extravaganza" video from the other day? I did use up a lot of my left over ribbon for that little project. :)

Your tree looks beautiful

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Thank you so much eunia!

[@peggyneer]

Arlynn I have been watching all of your videos and have been soooooo inspired. One question, why do you use a pipe cleaner instead of a zip tie on your bows?

[@thelittlethings1356]

Always excited to see your Christmas décor Arlynn...another hit!! Absolutely gorgeous!! Question...do you ever treat your wooden decorations before placing them outside?

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Uma's Home - thank you so very much girl… To be honest, no I do not treat my wooden accent pieces. That is a good idea though! I do however use never went on any fabric accents and on all of my bows. ❤️

[@KazzyD]

Hey Arlynn, another great Video, love all your decorating ideas xx I was wondering if you do any decorating to the upstairs of the house, the bedrooms and so on?

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Hi Kazzy, thank you so very much! And I sure don't do any decorating in any of the bedrooms...bah hum bug to me... ;) :)

[@nancydionne9638]

[@vickiulrich6694]

Have you been over the river and through the woods to Arlynn's in-laws you go? I am anxious to hear about the lantern and the bows. I KNOW that whoever wins that lantern raffle will be very happy and excited. How on earth could they not? You know girl that if you keep hauling from all the stores...79 boxes will be in your future too! :):):) But gosh are your purchases cuter than cute. I just love your decorating style dear youtube friend...so glad I found you but you are my newest enabler as I have a wagon on my farmers porch in the summer and a sleigh for winter and I'm on the hunt for "stuff" and Jack (my personal elf) says that he knows for a fact that my box count is going to increase. Hey, ain't life grand?

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Hi Vicki...We have not been over the river and through the woods quite yet...soon though. :) I will give y'all a report for sure. :)

[@vickiulrich6694]

Not at all Arlynn. Jack NEVER complains about what I enjoy as long as he has clean clothes, a hot meal and someone to share retirement with...He's all good so don't ever think you aren't welcome in this country cottage. Besides, you have made me a pretty darn good funky bow maker in very short order girl. Love those tutorials and never tire watching.

[@katrinasexclusivewreaths4479]

Arlynn can you make a funky bow with just one ribbon I have a order for a wreath and she wants the bow to be all the same color will it look alright or should I do a different bow

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Hey Katrina...As a matter of fact, I just demonstrated how I did a funky bow with all one color ribbon in my "Bow Extravaganza" video the other day. If you go to this link and go to about the 16 minute mark, that's where I show what I did. :)

[@GranE423]

HI Arlynn, where can I buy cardinal ribbon?

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Elaine McLane - I got my ribbon from Hobby Lobby. :)

[@GranE423]

Arlynn, any chance you can give me the sku number for the cardinal ribbon. It looks like it has sequins on it too.

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Hi Elaine, sure thing...It does not have sequins on it. Here is the sku #: 5013594

[@jillsedlar1751]

could you come over and decorate my house? Your house is beautiful! That bow was prefect you have a great eye!

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Aww, thank you so much Jill!! :)

[@helenvienneau7649]

Hello Arlynn, I just subscibed to your channel as I wanted to leave you a comment. I love all of your decorations. I've watched all of your videos, and also your blog. I love it all, how many times can I say love...lol. I enjoy to decorate as well, but not near as creative I only get ideas from watching things on youtube, and pinterest. I sent you a message through your fb, hope you can see it. I live in Bathurst, NB, Canada. My fb is Helen Fleet Vienneau.

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Hi Helen...Thank you so very much for subscribing to my channel and I so, so appreciate all of your sweet words!!
