This was nice and she is so talented. I appreciate seeing how she approaches crafts and decorating, but watching people shop is definitely not something I want to spend time on. My least favorite episodes are the antiquing ones (though I do love the interaction between Laura and her mom), and for recipes I have food channels. I am happy that the majority of content is about gardening.

I noticed they didn't do it, but they don't need it. Everything you need to get the idea as someone quickly passing by them on the way in and out is there. With the reflections and backlight, it would be too hard to see the arms. Totally unnecessary to add them.

Now that I’m 75, just the hubby and me at home…and no grandkids nearby…I had begun to “slack off and give away” some of my cherished and collected Christmas stash…WELL….this is not good!!!!! Laura and Susan have reinvigorated my passions for creating a beautiful and seasonal space…they have re-lit a motivational spirit inside me to do more…. and stay involved…Thanks guys…your channel seems to have done it again….oh oh Bring on Christmas🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

They inspire me every day to keep moving and keep having fun.

I have always loved a Blue and white and silver tree. My first tree when I moved out I wanted so bad to be blue and white. But I only had like $20.00, so I went through every thing in my house. Old ornaments that were different colors. I had two kinds of spray paint so I took all the old glass ornaments I had that were different colors and spray painted them all blue. My white can was so old that all it did was spit and sputter all over. So I let that spit over the blue gave it a snow falling look. Still to this day still one of my favorite trees. Just because how creative I had to get. Definitely donate old ornaments to goodwill or a charity cause some people like me that didnt have money to spend on ornaments, really do appreciate it.

I learned this from you, and thnx for that! This is not a question, more of a comment, if some of viewers have a minute, maybe it can help to you too. I'm not particularly religious but as long as I live I'll keep my family traditions alive, my late Mom was huge in Christmas, so growing in that surroundings I become too. Love everything about Christmas, trees, ornaments, twinkle lights, cakes, cookies, familiar tastes and smells of Christmas food. My family is Catholic and in Catholic traditions, custom is too put tree on Christmas Eve and keep it to 6th of January to Epiphany or to end of January to holiday of baptism of Christ. But with full time job and rush, fast lives we all live this days, to leave everything for last 5 minutes, it become burden, not joy. And that's were Laura and Garden Answer step in, I'm old viewer, watching GA for 5-6 years, watching Laura decorating(I learned from Laura to make wreaths, garlands, marking them now for me, my sister, my Mom's sister) and was thinking, why I don't do it as well. Now I do all my decorating et the end of November at begging of Advent and finish to St.Nicolas on 6th of December, I'll just leave setting of Nativity scene for Christmas Eve to keep that part of tradition. I do all od my Christmas shopping at begging of December, I'll buy everything I need except fresh fruits, veggies and meat and stay away from rush and crowd to rest of month. With all that done, I have rest of December to enjoy Christmas, lights, trees, go to town, watch decorated windows, grab coffee, hot chocolate or bolied wine on Christmas market and just be relaxed and enjoy this time of year that I love so much. If you also feel this part of year become burden, try to organise it differently, bring yourself back simple, relaxed Christmas we had as kids. Like Laura said in this video, want to have relaxed December and enjoy it. Peace and love 😚

Thank goodness for your mom. I have always called it Modge Podge too. Way back in the 70's, I made Christmas ornaments with Styrofoam balls, and paper napkins (cutting out the design you wanted off the napkins) and then brushed the Mod Podge over the napkins to hold them in place on the balls. We also added glitter and a ribbon to hang them. Always a fun project for the kids to try too. On your beautiful blue tree you could place in some pinecones to replace the nutcrackers and the Santa's you take off after Christmas. Such a wonderful video.

Just love this tree. I miss my Mom! We made nosegays and hat boxes for a Victorian tree, all in pinks, burgundy and mauve. It was so beautiful. Another year we covered styrofoam balls with peach and blue fabric and crocheted lace and ribbons. Not only did the trees last for many years, but the memories of sitting and crafting the ornaments last a lifetime. My Victorian tree was from 1982 and I still have most of it. Over the years I have used some of the clear iridescent bulbs for other trees. My Mom passed away in 2022, and we split some of her ornaments between us 3 kids. Even though those ornaments don’t go along with the theme of my tree now, I still put them on the tree. She had a huge collection of crystal ice cycles that I have been able to add to for my bigger tree. I just love them!

You could add a string or two of different colored lights per mini tree for pop at night when the ornaments aren't so visible. Maybe add the lit twig deer and other forest themed decor - Christmas Dream Stream!

The blue tree is beautiful! You did a great job placing the ribbon and ornaments. I think a few birds in matching colors would take the tree to the next level.

I’m glad you came around to decorating a budget tree. We have a thrift store near us that only sells things for under $4. They sold similar looking trees and Christmas baubles. I’ve recently gotten into thrifting and second hand shops so I find it inspiring to think all you need is a hot glue gun and a dream and you can spice up or change your Christmas tree theme on a budget. Also I hope you have a chance to vlog an antique trip soon, I know some people want only gardening videos since that’s your main audience but I would love to see what you find. Fills my heart with joy.

You ladies make me smile. Boy, do I miss my Mom. On a funny note, our first stop with my kids was to get a balloon. I used to attach to the child's wrist so I could see immediately where they were if they wandered off. Bonus: they can't hide under clothing racks.

That is a BEAUTIFUL tree! The ribbon tucked in is over the moon. Absolutely gorgeous with the modge podge ornaments, too. Little Samantha was adorable with her reindeer mask. And your mom is precious to be there for and with you. What a truly lovely family. ❤❤❤

Perfect bonnie blue color scheme with a French twist of ribbon. Great ideas and craft instructions. I'm encouraged now to add white stars and solid blue angels to my blue and white tree. The photo frames are an excellent suggestion too.

Beautifully done. PS my grandmother taught us to tuck money plant (luminaria) into the branches which glowed and it also is an old Southern tradition which ensures good fortune in the coming year. Happy Christmas to all of you. PS Susan for next time, peeled toile napkins are much easier to work with than fabric!!!

I was going to say this about using paper napkins. And mod podge comes in mat and glossy so you can customize even further.

Laura and Susan initially looked for blue and white napkins to mod podge, but couldn't find any and that is why they settled on fabric which required more time and effort.
