Christmas Projects, Baking & Pillows!

[@mitchscroggins1327]

Hi Deborah, The trees on your porch looked beautiful ! Loved how you redid the cone tree with the painted garland, it turned out perfect ! Loved the pillows you got at Walmart too, and the redo of your chase lounge on the porch ! And thanks for the cranberry cake recipe, I will have to try it. So happy to see your cute kitty kats too, and happy Maxine is hanging in there ! Can't wait to see your home tour ! 🌲🏚️ 💖 Lynn

[@thepaintedsouth]

Thank you, Lynn! Yes, sweet Maxine is hanging in there. We are enjoying every moment we can while she's still here. I'm working on all the rooms in the house and trying to keep it "simple". 😆 I thought keeping it simple would take less time, but apparently not in my brain and world. I'll share more videos asap! Hugs! Xoxoxo

[@fayecraghead6820]

Love your videos and your talent is amazing! You can fix anything! The trees you sprayed are wonderful and love the white stand! I love the fur pillows and I use them at Christmas and all winter! Love them! Thank you for sharing with us!🌲🎄🌲

[@reneemason0000]

WOW! I love seeing the creative, genius ways you pull things together to make them work and look so beautiful! I never thought to paint my trees and garlands 🙂 This is a game changer, thank you for that!!! I have gone back and rewatched your painting videos four of five times. You are the only person I have seen that layers and creates a story with age and depth. I remember the first time I watched one of your texture/painting videos and thought... 'what the heck is she doing... she's messing it up' ... but dang girl, you knock it out of the park every time!!! I can't wait to see what else you do ❤

[@susanjohnson3973]

Big CONGRATS, on all your subscribers, Deb!! Wow!!! Over 50,000 - awesome achievement!!!💯 Love that darling little tree you built, j uh St too darn cute! I always love a snowy look, but your blue spruce upgrades make my heart sing, Sweetie pie!💖 I'm going to be making that delicious !looking breakfast cake in the next few days, once back in my feet from this wicked virus I've been fighting! It looks absolutely scrumptious! Always a sweet pleasure to see what you've been accomplishing with all the creative genes you use for exquisite results! Loved every minute! 🤗🤗🤗❤

[@thepaintedsouth]

Good morning! Thank you! I'm so sorry you're not feeling well. I hope your body stays strong and fights that nasty virus and you're feeling great before Christmas! I'm not saying that breakfast cake will cure your ailments, but I think it will definitely make your taste buds dance with joy! 😉 I hope you have a wonderful week and Merry Christmas! 🎄❤️🤍🎄Xoxoxo

[@lindafaierson6030]

I love the trio of trees on the porch. Very pleasing to the eye. In the sun white not needed. At night it might brighten the trees. Whatever you do looks awesome.

[@carolynlanphear7051]

First off, CONGRATULATIONS on 50K subscribers!! So well deserved and long overdue. You’re the only YT channel I still consistently follow, mostly because your content is great and I’m always learning techniques from you. I love your forest combo on the porch. So pretty! A little snowy touch on the branches will be just the “icing on the cake.” I will definitely be making the orange cranberry bread. Looks so yummy! Thank you for sharing the recipe.

[@greggiono8789]

Still can’t get over that beautiful porch!

[@georgiapines7906]

I love the idea of painting trees and garland with spray paint! The Coastal Sage and Eucalyptus look fabulous! Also, many thanks for sharing the breakfast bread recipe and the variations with us. It looks delicious, and I appreciate that you showed us the ingredients that you used in your recipe.🎄

[@rebeccakidder1397]

Your trees look beautiful. Look forward to all your videos, and more inspiration. Love seeing the kitties, especially Maxine.

[@PattyPaints]

What a coincidence - I'm making cranberry orange mini cakes tomorrow. The pans are sitting out on my counter so I don't forget. 🙃 I add yogurt to a lot of things, too. Pancakes are so much better with yogurt and a splash of lemon juice. The trees are beautiful - I would love to have a large covered front porch to decorate. I picked up one mini tree from the thrift store last week. I have to temper my acquisitions (translation: SNEAK THINGS IN!) because we're still have so many boxes that we haven't unpacked from our move here in March. I told my husband whatever decorations don't go up this year are going out. He thinks that means nothing new should come in. Silly man. He just doesn't understand how these things work. 🤣

[@PattyPaints]

Oh! And congratulations on hitting 50K!!🎉🥂

[@kimberlywilson7251]

Love the way your blue spruce trees turned out. The breakfast cake looks delicious; I love cranberries and the tartness they add! ❤

[@deeannehodson4608]

Greetings from San Diego and Congratulations on your reaching 50K Subscribers!!! I've been a subscriber from the beginning! I like how you rejuvenate pieces and decorate with them! You're the best in my opinion!! Merry Christmas!🎄

[@ladonnawhitcomb4665]

Hi Deborah!! I watched another video of you painting your Christmas tree the Coastal color. I really wanted to paint mine a little darker than that. Now I know to go as head and use a satin paint along with the matte. I can't wait to get started ❣️ I gained 10 lbs. just watching you bake. I'll have to try that too😋 Yummy‼️ It's always great to see your beautiful face and also your wonderful creations. Thanks ever so much for this and every video. You are the bomb🤗

[@thepaintedsouth]

Good morning! Thank you so very much! 🤗 Yay! I wish I could see your trees painted! You can use matte, flat or satin. I guess you could use gloss, but I wanted them to look more realistic. The Satin didn't end up being shiny at all. They didn't have all colors in all finishes. There are so many beautiful colors! I saw some fabulous greens I want to try for next year. I think I might try to round up some trees off season at yard sales or from the FREE section on MP so I have some to do next year. I hope you have fun painting and decorating! Merry Christmas! 🎄 ❤️🤍💚 Xoxoxo

[@terrypierce1661]

Yay your on. I was just thinking about you and you popped up. Made my sunday. Love your style

[@juliazierdt3654]

Cone tree looks like a blue spruce. That's really cute!

[@CrepeMyrtleRow]

Looks delicious! Congrats on 50k👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎊

[@daisyjo5358]

I’ve been in a hauling out mood an over the years I’ve collected so many trees an I love this idea soooo yep today I’ll be staging in my back garden the trees that were on the chopping block lol wish me luck. I also picked up similar pillows last year and kept them out when I did my Bunny Birds a bug themed decoration for Easter. Great minds think alike ❤ So love your videos an ALWAYS ALWAYS end up stealing at least one or more Ideas 💡. Thank you an Merry Christmas from West Michigan Lakeshore 💚🎄♥️

[@thepaintedsouth]

Good morning! That sounds like a fabulous idea! A little back garden wonderland! ❤️🎄🎄🎄❤️ You'll actually get real snow and I have to spray paint the white on mine. 🤍 😉 I thought those pillows were a pretty. I think they have a grey color also, which I might have to get for my son's room. 😬 I am tickled if you find any ideas to use. I love watching other KZbin videos and looking on Pinterest for inspiration and idea. ❤️ Have a wonderful week! Xoxoxo

[@denisejordan8648]

Your trees look so good. A wait to see the final results. My favorite is cranberry orange. This recipe looks amazing. Thank you for sharing.

[@thepaintedsouth]

Thank you! I'm working on finishing up the house this week and will have the tour up soon. That recipe gets me in trouble because I could eat the whole pan by myself! 😋😆❤️🧡 If you make it, please let me know your thoughts. Have a wonderful week and weekend! Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@CelaWhitney]

Deborah, I made this recipe this morning and put the batter in small loaf pans for the folks who live across the street. my husband had to take it across to a widowers house to bake it as my oven stopped working yesterday and we can't get a new heating element until the end of next week. I did a little taste test of the batter and you can really taste the orange. glad I have three trees. thank you so much for the recipe and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@georgiapines7906]

Yay!!! A visit from Deborah on this chilly, rainy day in Georgia!!!❤

So talented! Congratulations on 50K🎉 I made some cranberry orange bread also, using flax eggs, apple sauce instead of oil, almond milk and added some walnuts.

[@thepaintedsouth]

That sounds yummy! 😋

[@susansolomon2770]

Congratulations!

[@Wandasbeautifulbling]

Where did you find the grapevine garland to put on your tree? I have seen other people do this, but I don't know where to find it. I just love your home and your style.

[@frankminniti2328]

Always a joy to get a notification that you have something to share, I did spray paint a few old garlands but they are quite stiff now, Is that a usual outcome?

[@thepaintedsouth]

Good morning! Hmm... The only thing I can think of is if the paint went on too thick? That could easily happen if you get the can a little too close and the paint is coming out fast, instead of more of a mist or light spray. i hope they aren't ruined. 😳 Even if they are stiff, I think they'd be fine. 😉🎄 Merry Christmas! Xoxoxo

[@dianedavies6399]

I love your videos! I want to try this recipe with blueberries and lemon. Also, please tell me the color and brand of your lipstick. It’s really pretty.

[@thepaintedsouth]

Thank you! You'll love the recipe, or at least I hope you do. 😉 I am trying to remember what color I had on. I only wear Senegence LipSense, ever since I used to sell it a few years ago. It stays on all day. I probably had on Apple Cider? I often wear Aussie Rose, too. If you can find a local distributor and try on a few colors, you'll be able to get a better idea of what works on you. I can't even wear regular lipstick anymore. The only thing that takes it off during the day would be a meal with oil or grease in it or something. The prices have gone up a but, like everything else. I purchased my latest batch from someone on Facebook in Texas. I hope that helps! 💜
