PLEAAASE read my comment below about finding those gates on Temu, please?!

[@Costumerchx]

@@loriladyofoursoutherncharm3973 are you talking about the archway stickers? I ordered some right after watching this. I looked up fairy arch stickers and archway stickers and found them. They are, in fact, stickers. You don’t have to use them as stickers and they’re very tricky to get the backing off, but they do have the sticker capabilities.

[@Costumerchx]

Hey Brandi! I ended up ordering some of those archway stickers and they ARE stickers! I’ve previously ordered the “pressed flower” stickers and thought that they weren’t stickers either but finally after much fussing got the clear backing to peel to reveal stickers. Same with the archways! It’s great we can use them more than one way tho! Loved your ideas.

[@Peanut1965]

Thank you so much!!

[@joannemcgee2259]

Absolutely precious love it all hard to choose on this seriously so beautiful and so enchanted forest🍄

[@carlaluhn6806]

LOVE these!!! Oh, be still my heart 💞💞💞. Brandy, you know how I struggle with this question on your things...especially mini's 😢. I believe I'll have to say #3 just because the lighting, the mushrooms, the "sunset(isque)" feel...EVERYTHING about it, the moss on this one. Oh, to be a little fairy there! 4 almost got my vote with those little flowers & 1 almost did because of the mushrooms. Lady...you KNOCKED THIS ONE OUT OF THE PARK for me 💞💞💞. I GOTTA get my hands on some of that stuff 🤗. Great video, thank you so much my friend 💝. I definitely shared this one to a couple of friends.

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thank you Carla! Check out the link in the pinned comment for those decals.

[@janicelange2160]

Brandy is knocking it out of the park as usual. Although they are all Beautiful I'm really digging #3. Love me some Mushrooms. Very fairy gardenish.❤

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thanks so much Janice!

[@lateknightcreations]

Adorable little boxes. I love your Bob Ross storytelling Great video my friend! when you craft!

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thank you Kendra! 😊

[@KimCrooks-k1n]

I like box4, love the pop of color, yellow

[@meflagg3741]

they are all beautiful !!! If I have to pick only one, I would pick #4

[@joycesweeney4447]

I love them all...I love the creativity and I also love the mini shadow boxes.

[@traceywhite5612]

I love the 3rd one! The light in the windows, WOW!

[@robertalordagarcia9992]

I like #5 the best,but i want to make them all😊ty for sharing 😊

[@MakingItMyOwn]

You should Roberta!

[@brandydouble338]

I love these....it might be my favorite thing you've done!!!

[@Peanut1965]

Oh my goodness those are gorgeous!!

[@carolefearnley1990]

They are so magical,I love them all I couldn't choose just one,I love your imagination and creativity and I adore miniatures and anything fairy world

[@jeansenner9368]

Beautiful! So magical!!

[@doracalderon2056]

Love 4 and 5 but all are beautiful ❤

[@terriallen2537]

Hello Brandy! OMG, I get so much joy from your woodland DIYS. They bring back the child in me. I've always loved nature and all of its beauty, ie. trees, moss, mushrooms, plants, flowers, and creatures. Miniatures have always been another love of mine. I had the best collecting of unusual minis when growing up. It may disqualify me if I gave two faves, but #3 & #5 are my picks. #3 has all my fave elements and when you placed the mushroom in the background it really took on another dimension. #5 was a little different than the others too. Love placement of lights behind the arch. The gravel path and all the little trees. I think I smiled thru the entire video. Thanks so much for all you do and the time you take to bring us your BEST every time! Take care and God bless 😊

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thanks so much Terri!

[@lauralightgale]

5, but really love them all

[@glendafisher-w5o]

I love watching you, I love all 5 but I think number 3 is my favorite

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thank you!

[@Krista-h5m]

It’s so difficult to choose! I ❤️ them all. I am a cottage core girl all the way. I see putting little fairies and gnomes in each one. If I had to choose just one it would have to be #3….. no…5…..no…2….no…1…..no definitely 3. Maybe 4. As I said I love them all!!!

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Hahahahaha!

[@sweets9957]

I like the 2nd one!

[@marleekosanke145]

OMGOSH Brandi you have outdone yourself today!!! I am in awe of all these today. ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊 Number 1 is my favorite because it is like there is a fire going on inside. I can imagine there are gnomes in there having a party.😅

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Fun!

[@kathikeneasterrichards5099]

O.M.Goodness!!! I think I love these 5 projects more than any others, & I love most everything you do! If I had to choose which one of the 5 is my favorite, I'd have to go with #5. Thanks for sharing!

[@trinapenunuri5475]

Love them all and could not choose a favorite. Lovely!

[@teresahatfield4521]

Brandy. Really beautiful crafts. Love what you created. So much fun. Everything is so beautiful!

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thank you so much!

[@trishaharman7296]

I like 4 best. I love fairies 🧚‍♂️ and the fairy wedding idea is right up my alley. You are very creative and I enjoy watching you create.

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thanks Trisha!

[@raylenetatum8185]

Wow Brandy!! All of these are so beautiful. Don't believe I've ever seen anyone make a shadow box before. I'm really partial to #5, the arch with the hanging lights. Just something about it is so serene. Absolutely love it!!!!!

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thank you so much Raylene!

[@jeanm14]

Gorgeous as always 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@kathieguthrie1829]

Love them all

[@somebody1196]

All were great. Number 5 is my favorite. The arch was like gateway inviting into another world.

[@monabarnett3395]

I love these, but my favorite was three

[@wandakruise2105]

Yes Braby I would live to see your collection of the things you made and how you style them in your cabinet

[@sungleska]

Just catching up. These are so cute. I'm hooked! I would say I liked #1 the best. All those mushrooms!💖

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thanks so much 😊

[@kerrylewis1325]

I love the last one. #5. It looks so realistic and enchanting. You are so creative and inspire me to try new crafts. Can’t wait to see what you do next❤️

[@lisagaudioso7113]

Love them all!

[@karenmorris1445]

I love them all but 5 is my favorite because I liked the arbor in the middle. It seemed to have more depth.

[@rondacathey8829]

❤❤❤ I love the fairy lights... I believe in fairy's ❤❤❤ your so crafty...

[@MakingItMyOwn]

❤️

[@nancyworsley5057]

Love, love, love it!

[@cindyogrady4306]

Oh yeah … #5 was my favorite! I like the warm lights best. I love the cozy welcoming feel to this piece! All turned out so good but I like #5 best or #3… no 5 yeah 5…. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ they’re all so good!❤️

[@TerriNeville]

I couldn’t pick one, the first one I guess. You always inspire me I love you story’s that you tell. Terri

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Im happy to hear that Terri!

[@rosagutierrez8112]

Fantastic work

[@susiewitt1016]

I love the first box the best! The little mushrooms are the cutest!

[@DeniCowdell]

These are so cute but my favorite is #4 I want a home like those all covered with moss they are gorgeous but I also like #5 cuz like I said I love the moss covered homes and want one of my own...lol! I'd love to have one

[@lmwalter5486]

I absolutely love anything nature inspired. Your crafting was exquisite. Loved all five of the shadow boxes. 😊Linda

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thanks so much Linda!

[@KimCrooks-k1n]

[@faithlumpkin6329]

I love 4. I’ve always wanted to make a dimensional scene. These boxes gave me inspiration. I think the mushrooms are my favorite, they’re so cute.

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Go for it!

[@danaadler3426]

Box #1. I like the simplify of it.

[@xxblitzoxx3082]

For me #2

[@rondacathey8829]

❤❤❤box #2&3 I think the candle light looks best but I love them all Good job ❤❤❤

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thanks!

[@deborahallen3174]

I love #5. It looks like an enchanted forest. Thank you for the ideas

[@cindykizer1758]

I cannot pick just one!! They are all adorable!! Please do more with these clear things. They are beautiful but I have no imagination at all

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Give yourself some credit, I bet you can come up with something amazing!

[@cher1058]

Love these! They’re all so mystical especially those with the warm and fairy lights. Number 5 is my favorite 💗

[@BRiggins20]

I liked #5 because it looks like an inviting nature path that I absolutely wanted to adventure through! I also liked the one with the house in the back and the little lights you added for the house lights. Sooooo creative and cute!

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thanks!

[@heatherbrown4336]

Number four was my favourite I love the yellow flowers

[@debrakranzusch6561]

Absolutely love ❤️, great inspiration 👏

[@MakingItMyOwn]

So glad!

[@AmandaSmith-lc2jq]

I always love watching your videos. Most of the forest ones wouldn't go with anything in my house but they are just fun to watch. I love watching people make what makes them happy because someone with passion makes a better video. Its cool seeing your absolute love for nature. I grew up in Alabama and my son was born there. I loved laying in the grass looking for 4, 5, and 6 leaf clovers. I live in CO now and I'm lucky to find a clover patch. Anyways my favorite is all of them lol but if I had to pick it would be 3 and 5.

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thank you Amanda!

[@melodyneff]

I love watching your videos. You have such a soothing voice and you are so talented.

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@nancyworsley5057]

Shared to my group.

[@MakingItMyOwn]

You are awesome Nancy, thanks!

[@christinebowman9922]

I love them all, but I think I like number 3 the best. These are awesome and I know I've got to make some. Thanks for the inspiration in all your videos!

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Glad you like them!

[@karendavis7024]

Love you videos. All the shadow boxes look great. Choosing was difficult but 3 is my favorite. It made me see a little elf's home

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thanks Karen!

[@matrixprison4761]

It's ok if I don't receive boxes because I can't choose. I really LOVE them all and I'm just really greatful for your videos of inspiration. Thank you ❤

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thanks for watching!

[@MisguidedKreations]

I like them all but #3 is my favorite. I love mushrooms too, and the way you used that scrap piece as a shelf mushroom looked so awesome!!!

[@cherwilkes4564]

All 5 are very magical. My favorite are #1 and #3. Thanks for another great DIY idea!

[@lisawilson6071]

I love number 3. They are all amazing. Your a awesome artist. I want to make one now. I love mushrooms too.

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thanks Lisa!

[@duhhuh58]

I can't pick a favorite, I LOVE them all! I'm the weird neighbor who has fake mouse holes in my baseboards in different rooms, lol. I would love to put 1 or 2 of these in my house as well and also some of the boxes. I have some of the little gnome doors outside as well at the base of my walnut trees

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Sounds fun!

[@kcwalker46]

I love #5 best. However, I love them all.

[@tammielewis2438]

Love all of them! You are amazing!

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thanks Tammie!

[@pattyelledge4673]

Hello girl l loved all of them but 3 was my favorite..u have such a gift. Thank u for. Sharing

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thank you so much Patty!

[@pam1418]

Very different and gorgeous!

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thank you! 😊

[@MaryAnnMakes]

How fun! So beautiful and creatively different!

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thanks so much!

[@Foxys10]

Number 5’s arch is just so magical. It makes my imagination soar with thoughts of fairies, fireflies and all kinds of elementals. Don’t get me wrong, all of the boxes are beautiful, but number five transports me to storybook worlds.

[@brandydouble338]

I already bought a bunch of those mushrooms 🍄 I knew I'd use them as soon as I saw them

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Yay, time to get crafty!

[@MartinaDeCourcey]

Brandy thank you so much you are amazing ❤❤❤❤

[@MakingItMyOwn]

You are Martina!

[@george-annwood7526]

I like #1 because I really like mushrooms as well and love how the light shines through the mushroom arch! All five are great 😊 Definitely will be using this for my inspiration! Thank you!!!

[@lanaritter9410]

Brandi I would love any of these but I think my favorite is #5❤❤ I love all of your nature creations!

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thanks Lana!

[@cyndimartin8051]

Each one of them are just so unique and it's way too hard to pick just one. I love these :)

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Glad you like them!

[@kayk8123]

So torn to pick a favorite. I love the flowers in 4,but I'm going to say my favorite one is the first,just because you stepped out of your comfort zone and made something amazing! 🌳🌲🌳

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thank you Kay, that means a lot to me.

[@MerryMary2614]

I just recently found your channel and I'm loving your projects and humor! If I could shrink myself down I would live in the third shadow box with the big mushroom - it looks like the perfect little fairy or gnome home! 😃 Thank you for sharing your talent and joy, and for helping me think outside the box (ha!) to use what I have on hand in whole new ways. 🌲❤️🍄

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Welcome! It’s so refreshing to have others share my interests and “get” my creations. I’m happy to have you here.

[@MommySissy717]

I just love these. 3 is my fav. The depth and placement of the mushrooms is just perfect. I love your crafts, I’m obsessed with mushrooms and cottage core decor ❤

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thanks!

[@christinastalder4727]

O my goodness, these were beautiful ❤️ I love number 3. But number 5 is my favorite. Bc it's my favorite is bc it reminds me of mine and my husbands wedding. We got married on are own property we bought. And it was small just family and close friends. And it was at night time. And this just was perfect. I'm gonna try to recreate it so I could put one of our wedding pictures in side. But that's why I love number 5. Much love and prayers for you on the up coming cruise.❤

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thanks for sharing Christina. I love that.

[@normadelao2642]

Ohhhh my goodness I just love 💚 your projects. I fell in love with #4. Now I have to run and buy the mushrooms. Thank you for sharing!!! 🥰

[@MakingItMyOwn]

You are so welcome! Have fun!

[@DCHoosier62]

Brandi, you have such a wonderful imagination which makes your woodland creations by far the best I have see. Number 4 is my favorite. I could just imagine little fairies 🧚‍♀️ everywhere. THANK YOU for the inspiration.😊

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Wow, thank you!

[@terihandrick2333]

Wow these are gorgeous

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thanks Teri!

[@jackiez8582]

They’re all beautiful but # 3 is my favorite with the mushroom added it has more depth and looks awesome.

[@bjseidlitz3808]

I love, love, love them all!💚 I like how the different lights give different depths and flow to each project. It would make a super grouping.

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Yes!

[@gaylarussell2336]

I loved all them but number 3 was my favorite! I’ll be on look out for the mushrooms! ❤ your videos!

[@34purplepower]

I loved them all really but number 5 I loved most, the cork pathway really made it. ❤

[@LuvPotter]

Love them All. Yes a link would be lovely

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Check out the link in the pinned comment

[@tammydixon7910]

Brandy, you could use glue dots in place of stick tape or glue. Less bulky than tape plus they are removable. I really liked the last one. Maybe that is because it like symmetry!

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Great idea Tammy!

[@lillye5301]

Wow these are absolutely beautiful 💜💜💜

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thanks so much 😊

[@user-ZenaB1212]

Beautiful!

[@bobbieholtzclaw5146]

These are glorious, magical, and a delight. Thank you so much for your imagination and inspiration. 💖

[@MakingItMyOwn]

You are so welcome!

[@alisavogt2892]

It’s so hard to pick just one. However, number 5 is definitely my favourite. It looks like a secret garden entrance or a fairy world behind the arch. You just know if you go under the arch and through to the woods behind you won’t be disappointed in what you find! ❤❤. I just love all the projects that you do.

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thank you Alisa!

[@katwar2514]

I think I like number 3 the best because it looks like I could just take a walk in there as a tiny faerie and enjoy my time visiting the area. I love watching your videos where you get into making little magical fantasy lands because I can tell you love magical fantasy as much as I still do as a woman who never fully grew up inside either. I think that is a very good thing though. And I like how I can tell you really love trees also. That’s a wonderful thing in my opinion. These are wonderful and even if I don’t win I thoroughly enjoyed watching you enjoy making them so much while I’m here in bed trying to get through Covid again. Thank you and happy crafting.

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Thank you, get well soon!

[@dianebremer9408]

I love all of them!

[@darastiner9812]

MY favorites are as follows: 3, 5, 4, 2 then 1!!! 3 & 5 are just MAGICAL!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 I like #3 because of the 2 layer dimensions and how you put the lights in the windows!! It looks like a nice and relaxing place to visit. Reminds me of "The Lord of the Rings" sets! #5 with the lighted up archway is brilliant and the crushed cork does make it look like a little Hobbit walkway!! lol #4 looks like Samwise Ganges & Rose Cotton’s wedding!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Love it!! Thank you!

[@cindyharrison9108]

Thanks!

[@MakingItMyOwn]

Wow, thank you very much Cindy! I will put it to good use.
