Try adding a piece of white card stock to the back of the Joann’s sign, it may make the words easier to read.

[@michellefrance1165]

Exactly what I was thinking.

[@poochiepaws]

It's a strange phenomena...You're going to shop only one thing. After coming home something has happened. A collection of varying items suddenly has found their way into the your home...😉😄

[@annh.]

Have you thought about cutting out a piece of colored poster board (white, orange, green?) or even some pieced together card stock (same colors as mentioned or even a small print) to go in the back of the metal cut out sign? It would make it easier to read.

[@denisevalentemcgee4802]

I immediately thought the same thing! I think it would work!

[@MissTLCmn]

I have that same sign and that's what I did. I was going to suggest it but you beat me to it! Great minds...:)

[@janneville7765]

This is a great idea!

[@BoOllie37]

@@MissTLCmn where did you get your sign?

[@MissTLCmn]

@@BoOllie37 I got it at Joann's last year, I don't know if they have them again this year or not because I haven't been there recently

[@cc3kidsl8ter78]

Watching your vlogs always brightens up my days. Thank you for sharing small portions of your life

[@mrsq9250]

Crystal maybe on the sign with all the wording that you got from Joannes last year, you could put either tissue paper secured behind there or the paper that they use from TJ Maxx and tape it on the back behind there so that you can see the wording a little bit better. Just a thought

[@pennysantana7809]

I am so happy the kiddos are doing good in school. I also am so proud of you mama for not struggling and see how well they are, I think that is the worst thing we worry about is if they are enjoying going to school and find friends, not shy, not crying and so on. I basically think we struggle (moms) more than our kiddos do. 😂😂 The pot pot look delicious, I am definitely going to be trying it, it is easy to put together and.simple enough to clean up. Be safe and God bless 🙏💞

[@CrystalTara]

You are so right, we struggle more than the kids do. HA!

[@tonip.3251]

We’ve had our couches for 12 years or so-I’ve seen zippers, but I never have ever thought of washing those! Your energy!!

[@lizzylou2290]

Same! I was thinking you can wash couch cushions....who knew?! Well actually I guess it's couch cushion covers. Haha...

[@phyllisanngodfrey6137]

My grands are back in the classroom now and thrilled to be out of the house and seeing more people. I hope everyone stays well and we don’t have to revert to virtual learning. PS I ordered that chopper and love it.

[@jfields414]

You're such a natural (and funny!) on camera. I only found your channel a few weeks ago, but I'm really enjoying them!

[@CrystalTara]

Welcome!! Glad to have you!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Your videos are always a breath of fresh air. I truly watching you.

[@anns7684]

If you get a small strip of battery operated LED lights and put it behind the metal sign it might help the readability. Such cute stuff!!!

[@minimimosa]

SOO warm and cozy for fall 🍁 I love everything you did!! ❤️ You can always try putting white poster board behind the black sign with the cut out words to make them pop a bit more. Your house is beautiful!!

[@suechernet1618]

Hey Crystal I love everything you do and am a big follower but the chair by the entryway bothers my OCD every time I see it! I would look for a small table to go there which I know will be challenging. Hope you don’t feel this is negative because I just love you and your home.😘

[@jwilson941]

To: Sue Chernet, Have you been diagnosed with OCD by a professional medical doctor who is currently practicing and how is a small table instead of a chair by the entryway going to be different?

[@suechernet1618]

@@jwilson941 for me the chair is facing the wrong way and a skinny small table would lie flat against the wall. Yes I have been diagnosed if you lived with me you would know! 🤣 It is just something I live with but it doesn’t hold me back from living as normal as possible.

[@jwilson941]

@@suechernet1618 Thank you for taking the time to respond back. I was curious because I did not understand how a different piece of furniture, a small table instead of a chair would make a difference, there would still be a piece of furniture. The placement of a skinny small table may or may not lay flat against the wall depending on the person placing it and the person viewing it, it is all perspective. I asked about the diagnosis because I see people on KZbin and in person use that medical term in what appears to be a loose and incorrect way. I think when it comes to home decor there are various perspectives no matter how a piece of furniture is placed or not. I was curious if that was a serious request for an adult to realistically expect another adult whom they do not know and do not live in their house to change/adjust their decor in an attempt to not bother another adult on the internet if you are an adult.

[@suechernet1618]

@@jwilson941 I simply meant it as a suggestion. Crystal has great taste in decor! She didn’t ask but often likes suggestions so I just threw my two cents in for fun.

[@karenworks2491]

Everything looks so nice and makes me really want to get busy😉 Seems like I keep running out of time. Bailey is just the sweetest🐾💕

[@devistrom5815]

Shut up! Did you use your chopper to dice up your chicken! That…is…GENIUS!! And this is why I watch your channel. 😂

[@lisadeedee1750]

It’s so fun watching you decorate!! You have beautiful decor! I picked up that little truck and the blue one, too. Chicken pot pie looks so good!! Glad to hear all the kids, and their mama, are adjusting well with school!

[@smax331]

On your hard to read sign, line the back with pretty scrapbook paper to help the letters pop.

[@carmengmartinez]

Lovely home! You could take rust colored fabric or paper and line the inside of your black sign and the words will pop with the rust color.

[@sandradavis4083]

If you steam the dried baby’s breath looking flower it spreads out and won’t shed so much and makes it a lot easier to deal with. Just turn on your kettle and hold it upside down over the steam. Love your style ❤️🍁🎃

[@CrystalTara]

Wow! That's a great tip, thank you!

[@lourdesdover1338]

Happy to hear your children are doing well in school. Love your decor and the recipe.

[@laurensawyer330]

That pot pie looks delicious, yum! So glad your kids are doing well in school. Mine started this week (Kindergarten & 2nd grade) & they love it. I have a bunch of dried wheat from Trader Joe's from a few years ago. It still looks great. I find that storing it in the original package helps.

[@amyoliver5949]

Crystal, I baked this pot pie 🥧 tonight.... Baked on 375 degrees for 45 minutes. It turned out perfect! It was so delicious 😋! And my husband loved it! It's a keeper! Will make this a weekly or twice a month meal. We are empty nesters, so we have leftovers! :)) Will have to make this when my son and daughter come home! They will love ❤ So, thanks for sharing!

[@candycep526]

Dried flower tip. Dried flowers can be messy but so beautiful. I like to separate the stems outside and give them a light spray with shellac and let dry before placing them in a container. This does not totally eliminate the messiness but certainly reduces it.

[@cindycarr3460]

Black is very in this season. Bailey girl is so sweet and precious 💗

[@nicolehall694]

Um... Can we stop and mention that shmancy gadget you used to chop carrots?! Amazing!!

[@marylenhastings6533]

I think it’s called a mandoline.

[@laurabaerg8095]

I love the entryway nook!! The lanterns, I think, complete the space! Just loving all of your fall decor videos!

[@kathyfenwick9423]

Oh my gosh that chicken pot pie looked so yummy! I need to try making one! Glad the kiddos are all enjoying school!:) it must seem very strange not having the twins around eh! We facetimed with our son today , he survived his first week of college & it made me so happy that he is settling in, making lots of friends & is adjusting well. We got home yesterday from a little road trip after leaving him on Monday & it hit me when I seen his room & not gonna lie, cried a little , he prob won’t be home until Christmas but I know he’s happy & doing as what he calls living his life & that’s what we as parents want for our kids❤️ I always enjoy your videos, it’s like chatting with a friend:)

[@CrystalTara]

That's good that he's doing well. Is he pretty far away from you? I hope you get to see him before Christmas is here!

[@kathyfenwick9423]

@@CrystalTara thank you! He is 22 hours away from us in Southern Ontario, we are in Northwestern ontario, aboit 2 hours north from minnesota border. We don’t have much for an airpirt so he will fly into winnipeg mb or thunder bay ontario (which are both 4 hiurs away west or east). He gets 1 week off @ end october but with travelling time he’d only have 5 days whereas at christmas break he’s off from dec 18-jan 7th i think? Lol but he also might take some shifts @ the hotel he worked at. But i will take whst i can get, quality over quantity❤️

[@dachsymom5232]

I have that sign from JoAnnes. I cut out cardstock and put it in the back. Easy peasy to read now and I put burnt orange paper in this year. Love it. ❤

The pot pie looked so delicious. I love the fall colors, chunky throws, warm drinks, and comfort food.

[@angelanapier4248]

Spray your dried flowers with hairspray, it will help keep them from shedding so bad, also I add poultry seasoning to my chicken pot pie, it gives it a great savory chicken flavor and I add diced potatoes

I hadn’t thought about freezing onions, thanks! I do cut up and freeze my bell peppers if it looks like I won’t use them quickly enough. Cut some red and green up tonight as a matter of fact. I enjoy your videos so much!

[@maryzwach8573]

Everything looks amazing as usual🥰 and Bailey is so cute!!🐶❤️

[@tamiweeks6579]

I wonder if you put some copper tissue paper/foil or cardstock behind that JoAnnes sign if it would make the sign pop? Just a thought I know nothing about decorating that is why I watch you lol! I am so glad everyone is doing great in school! Thank you for sharing all the things!!

[@pamd74]

I’m always a little envious of those that can use dried flowers as I’m no longer able to. I have a mischievous brat of a cat that destroys them and once he’s got them in the floor the other two join the fun. Ugh! 😂

[@lorrieroberts2203]

I never EVER thought about washing sofa cushions. I’m going to check mine to see if they can be throw in the wash. So much easier than using the carpet/upholstery cleaner on them. And that pot pie?! It looks so good! So good!!

Oh my goodness that chicken pot pie looks so good. I've never made one, but I want to try this recipe, thank you.👩‍🍳 I love your assistant Miss Bailey.🐶 Love the decor, the pumpkins.😊 I may have a pumpkin addiction.🤭😂 Happy all of the kiddos are doing well with school.

Try some battery-operated string lights behind that black sign. That might light those words up.

[@marcieglanzer5023]

Cooking alone is so nice (and your recipe looks great!). As for your JoAnn’s sign, I’ll bet if you attached a piece of wood directly behind the letters they’d pop more, either plain wood or maybe painted white. I remember being thrilled when school started, but when they started leaving for college I may have shed a tear or two 😉…I actually had a granddaughter start college this year…enjoy those kids, the years just fly by!

[@vickiebrannon5217]

I live alone ,so don't do a lot of big cooking like the chicken pot pie just for me. But , fortunately , KFC has the most amazing pot pie ever!!! I love it in the fall and winter. The crust blows my mind!!! Yummmmm , I think I need one this week !

[@sharibrandenburg523]

Love everything you do! A couple of tips; I spray my grasses (if they shed) with hairspray. It seems to help a bit. Tape fairy lights in the black sign that’s hard to read and the last idea if you wasn’t to that is…is to paint one or two of the pumpkins in the trunk of the orange truck a different color of green!! Just some thoughts❣️

[@tabithamaxwell2379]

Hi Crystal! You mentioned that the black metal sign in your entryway was hard to read. I also got that sign last year and thought the same thing.. This year, I decided to use some of my battery powered warm white fairy lights and taped them around the back inside of the frame! Since there’s a little lip on the back side, it holds the battery pack perfectly! The lights illuminating through the words looks great! I have my sign in our butler’s pantry and use it as a little night light for that room. ☺️ Just wanted to pass on the idea in case it’s something you’d want to try! Take care!

[@CrystalTara]

Thank you!

[@IamSnowbird]

I was having such a hard time with my living room fall decor. I decided not to use teal but just blue and sage green with lots of wood and natural elements. I just couldn't get it right. last night I pulled all the blue out. I like it so much better. I'll use the blue to decorate my office instead. Trial and error.
