Courtney I don’t have the words to even convey how ABSOLUTELY PERFECT that piece is. It screams everything I love, the pieces I sent to you were perfect. The way you incorporated the flowers and Rays favorite meal. The tears are rolling down my face at how divinely orchestrated this was, from your creative mind, to your heart, to the timing, what you used from the box it all came together the way it was supposed too! Hugs to you my friend I am glad to know you! 🫂

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Courtney did an incredible job on the tribute for you. I can't wait to see where you put it in your kitchen.

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Thank you, sweet friend! It was a complete honor for me to make it. I am so happy you love it and I hope it helps you feel Ray’s presence. ❤️

[@niseyjones598]

I cried also it's beautiful

[@kimwatts6338]

❤ I cried with you ( I don’t comment much) such a beautiful way to pay tribute in honor of Ray. The tears of grief reminds us how blessed we are to love and be loved so deeply❤❤❤.

[@doodiehutchison4463]

Love the firecracker-baseball display-so creative.

[@rebeccaquinn4147]

Love all your creations! The tribute to Ray is amazing! Kelly definitely asked the correct person to help use those flowers! ❤👏👏👏

[@margiechavez8840]

I'm not crying 😢 are you crying ? 😢 That memorial piece was absolutely beautiful!!!

[@fitwithdiana]

YES! Yes I am STILL crying 😭 She did an absolutely amazing creation and it is so perfect for Kelly and celebrating Rays memory 💕

[@KellyBarlowCreations]

[@jaynapicantine6726]

Bawling like a baby!

[@conniehahn4577]

The project for Kelly was just full of emotion...perfect. the ruby slippers was genius! The best ! ❤❤😊

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

My eyes are leaking. What a beautiful tribute piece you made with the flowers from Ray's funeral. May God continue to bless Kelly and her family. We're continuing to pray for you and your family, too, Courtney. I lost my mother-in-law in 2018 and still grieve her death. She was my best friend.

[@sarahdillon9176]

Wow what a beautiful piece you made to honor Kelly's son, Ray. Absolutely perfect!

[@mrstenajmv]

That box you created for Kelly was amazing! Bless your heart ❤️

[@paulastrong7571]

[@mandygeyer9100]

Courtney the piece for Kelly was absolutely stunning

[@phyllisgrossetti4511]

The sign for Kelly was a thoughtful tribute to Ray. I'm sure she will absolutely love it. Courtney the ruby slippers sign were my favorite. Very clever use of the Styrofoam feet.❤

[@kathrynhodgson5037]

I cried the entire time you made the memorial piece for Ray, not to mention you reading the note from Kelly. It turned out beautifully!! What a special piece for Kelly to hang in her kitchen, or anywhere, and remember all the special times they had together. Ray was a remarkable young man, sweet like his Mom. I like your idea of changing out the recipes or even pictures for the different holidays. What an amazing friend you are. Much love!

[@snapdragonfairies]

[@bettyblevins8085]

I love the memorial gift you made for Kelly. Losing my husband of almost 55 years in February, my daughter and I did dry some of the flowers from his funeral. I think you did a great job. I lost my mother in March 2013 and my dad in September 2023. You did a great job on the challenges.

[@CreativeontheCheap]

[@sandicollins4000]

[@SCYFY123]

Courtney these are awesome DIYs! The Wizard of Oz is my favorite movie of all time so GREAT JOB girl! You did such a fine memorial piece. The break in your voice in remembering your Mom got me sniffling and wiping my eyes. I enjoy your humor in trying to find what to do with each item. You always seem to get the perfect idea. Keep these Mystery Box Challenges coming!

[@kimcollins9462]

Cortney, what an amazing job you did with all the projects. But the memorial for Kelly is so beautiful and thoughtful, you didn't just throw something together. Its so amazing im sure it will bring her joy every time she looks at it. My husband and i lost our only daughter 2 years now in March and i can tell you there is nothing on earth that is any harder, you just dont ever get over it. We dont have a chose but to move on but it changes you for sure. I love watch especially when you all do these challenges. God bless😊

[@ChristinaElizabeth15]

[@SharonWeiss-y2v]

What a wonderful craft you did for Kelly so beautiful and creative. I'm sure she will love it. SHE NEEDS THAT RIGHT NOW ❤😊

[@deaneclark6469]

As always, Courtney, all of your diys turned out beautifully!❤ I love your slippers! The whole project turned out so cute! I love it!❤ I love, love your tribute to Ray! It is absolutely beautiful & so special! This was my absolute favorite!❤ I understand how hard the month of June is for you. I lost my sister on June 9th a year ago. And her birthday was yesterday. My father-in-law's 1 year anniversary of his death is July 12th.😞 As always, Courtney, thank you for sharing all of your hard work, creativity, talent, and inspiration! Stay safe, healthy, and positive! God bless you and your family!🙏❤️🇺🇸😊

[@colleenspiegel7285]

Great job on the Memorial piece for Kelly, absolutely beautiful.

[@sheryllemons6093]

Love the memorial sign you made in honor of Ray. Like the rainbow sign too ❤

[@tazachary89]

Perfect thing for Kelly to always have in her kitchen where Ray loved to be. ❤❤ lol loved it with the dirt and sign, so funny

[@trinahoot9903]

Courtney, you are amazing, and the project for Kelly is so beautiful.

[@terilemaster4405]

I absolutely love what you came up with for Kelly. ❤ And the ruby slippers was genius. Great job!

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Thank you so much!

[@RayneSaltair]

The ruby slippers that was amazing!!!!!!

[@laurelthomas5215]

Wow! just wow! Loved the chicken egg set for it's simplicity. Ray's memoir piece was inspired; esp for someone who doesn't do gardening or farmhouse. And the shoe inserts "Oh, my!" Adorable slippers, BUT the second you pulled the styrofoam out of the box I saw in my mind: Bracket supports for a Faux-Concrete garden or patio shelf. You've probably seen videos of diy garden art that uses chicken wire, foam, etc which are then covered in mortar mix to make BIG, but lightweight & durable plant containers and outdoor décor; that's the line that I was thinking along. I ♥ your research on chickens and preserving flowers; it's your taking time to do the research that took all these to the next level!

[@cwiggins7416]

Rays tribute is lovely! It’s very thoughtfully done as are all of your projects. Love the ruby slippers❤

[@vickiemoore7539]

The Ruby red slippers sign!!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@sharoneskew2542]

The memory kitchen recipe holder is so beautiful. I love the OZ idea too. I love how your brain kicks in, and 99% of the time it works out works perfectly . But when it sucks you let us hear how you wanted it to happen. 😅 Stay sweet and keep your crafty juices flowing.

[@1elsue]

They were all amazing. The flowers for Ray were perfect

[@fitwithdiana]

Absolutely beautiful and I LOVE your gift for Kelly. It is perfect for her and so precious. As soon as I heard your first sniffle I INSTANTLY cried (still have tears rolling down my face) 💔 Hugs and love to both you and Kelly 🤗💕

[@nancypulice1682]

WOW... everything was super cute. The piece for Kelly was just perfect.You did a great job

Oh my gosh that Wizard of Oz project was so creative! I would have had NO clue what to do with the shoe inserts or the dirt! The tribute to Ray was beautiful and so thoughtful. I was glad to see Kelly’s comment on how much she liked it.

[@beckym4550]
