I've followed my kids sports for about 20 years and now I can't stop watching all the sports!! It's stiflingly my crafting!! 😊

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Oh no! 🫣. Maybe blend the two together!?!

[@PNKASMR]

Beautiful first project! It was totally my favorite and it was so sweet of you ❤❤❤ happy anniversary 😊 with the transfer on the pumpkin or any rounded surface, cut little slits all the way around and then go from one side to the other, pulling up your top sheet as you go so it isn't putting tension on your transfer and you won't get wrinkles in it. Hope that helps someone 🤪

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Great suggestion! Thank you so much!

[@leaannethomas6857]

Oh my! Uga is sooo cute, I just love him! ❤🖤❤️🖤❤️

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you friend! 🥰

[@charleneblake1146]

I worked for a Mack Truck Dealership for 35 years. Of course, the Bulldog is the syymbol for MackTrucks!!! Your Bulldog is fabulous !!!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Well thank you very much! 🥰

[@superannieoakley4513]

I bought the mold bc of the bulldog! lol My husband graduated from The Citadel in Chas. SC, so of course, I had to make a "Go Dawgs" plaque for him. I even painted the dog's face to look like our bulldog. Crazy what we do for our guys! 😉 I also painted a frame & a stag black & then used RubNBuff(gold) on them for a piece in my kitchen for xmas last yr. He looked so sophisticated & festive, especially w fresh greenery on top. Thxs for sharing!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Those sound so gorgeous! I need to do the deer for Christmas this year too! Great idea!!

[@treasuresimeone4312]

I love how your two loves (hubby and creating) came together in this project❤ What a fun idea!! 100% think you should make more!!!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

That is such a fun way to look at it! 🥰

[@jackielucchesi6654]

The chipmunk and pumpkin are my favorites!!!!!

We are hitting the 90’s the next couple of days but the weather change is coming! I was born and raised in Orlando, FL and we didn’t have much of a heat break at all there! Love the seasons we get in GA!!

[@aprilpeterson6152]

Fun fall projects! The use of clay, moulds, stamps, decoupage, transfers and paint inlay all in one video is a great show case of inspiration! ❤ Enjoy your week with your girls and celebrate for your Anniversary! My husband and I will be celebrating on the 27th this month of 39 years! Yes we were babies when we married 😂 Henry is adorable! See you soon in WI!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Happy anniversary to you too! I cannot wait to finally meet you in person April! 🥰

[@melonmahfood2439]

know I always love everything you do. Have to say I was pretty mesmerized by the burning leaves, maybe my favorite 🤣 Your plaque is great, and I think it would be a big seller. Sounds like you are ready to drink the football Kool-Aid, have fun!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I am drinking the kool-aid that’s for sure! 🫣. Thank you for being here!

[@terribushta6032]

Love them all. Go Dawgs. 😊

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I adore the gift for your hubby! My husband and I celebrate our anniversary every year at a restaurant called Krazy Katz and they have artwork of those animals dressed up. I made him something with that mould for our anniversary this year too! ❤😊

Love the pumpkins too, especially the squirrel. Thanks for your inspiration. Where's Henry? He is so precious🐾💖. Get 'em Henry.😆

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Well good luck tonight! My hubby says that he thinks Alabama will beat us since it’s in your stadium tonight. It will be a good game that’s for sure!

[@deemanolaros6036]

We have family in Auburn. My sister-in-law is a tenured professor at Auburn. It is so beautiful there.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

It is such a gorgeous campus and I love how it seems “walkable” and not overwhelming too!! 🥰

[@sherrymcsherry]

I loved your Georgia Bull Dog. I think I will make a similar one for Christmas but use the stag.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I’m so glad you got inspired to create! Music to my ears! 🥰

[@katiewhiston5864]

Heather, I am going to be at Sonnet’s Creative retreat! I’m bringing my sister and am so excited to meet you and the other creatives!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I am so excited to meet you both! It is going to be so much fun! 🥰

[@Sandra-fg9yo]

Oh dear Heather!! I received the IOD Brocante transfer today & it's more beautiful than I imagined! Love your videos & looking forward to creating beauty!!!!😅

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I’m so glad you are excited to create with it! It’s the best transfer from them overall BY FAR! 🥰

[@Patricia-bp6cr]

Hard to pick a fave, but the Dawg is awesome (sell them!) , as is “ The Dog”. , My Maggie has a crush on Henry, she looks for him when she hears him bark. So glad you enjoyed your Auburn experience , I live in Auburn . Let me know when you and your bff need a room .

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

That is so fun that Maggie loves Henry! 🥰. Auburn is such a gorgeous place!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@ReimaginedPast]

Awesome as always! Really enjoy watching you create. It's always fun to see Henry at the end. We lost our 15 yo fur baby last October.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Oh no! I am so sorry for your loss and I know it’s so hard to love them this much and lose them! 🥰. Hugs to you!

[@tinatodd2041]

The little wagon was my favorite, but all of them are cute

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@joannecooper4592]

Love the Georgia Bulldog! Now I'm thinking Christmas presents using that mold. Goooooo Dawgs!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

You should! What a great idea! 🐾🐾🐾

[@jenniferbrown3075]

I love that bulldog! I bet you could sell so many of these on your website or your booth is you made multiples!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Great point! I should get to creating some of these when I get back from my trip!!!

Love all of these!❤❤❤ Wish I could find a Colonel Reb as I'm an Ole Miss girl! Hotty Toddy!😂

Hi Heather! I’m kinda new…may have commented before…I love your stuff! Thank you for reminding me to get out last year’s transfer with the critters! I loved that one! Didn’t even think of it for fall. Looking forward to meeting you in Wisconsin!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I’m so glad you got inspired to get out last year’s transfer! They were so good I know we all didn’t use every last one of them! I am so excited to meet you in WI!!! It’s coming soon! 🥰

[@GeorgiaLee-u6o]

Wow $7 to $10 for the hobby lobby leaves! I have under priced mine at $4 here in Michigan and have seen them for $6 also. My favorite project was your pumpkin with the transfer. I love your videos. Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much for being here! 🥰

[@donnawilkes8954]

I'm a diehard Gamevocks fan and is still mad at the SEC dropping our annual Border Bash football game. I live on the state line of SC and GA. Yes to the Sic 'Em plaque for at least $42. Burning the paper is mesmerizing. Henry is such a cutie.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I’m so glad you are here and I’m not the only one who likes watching the paper burn! 😜🫣

[@Clairemakesitall]

Hi lovely , would you consider shipping products to the UK ? The iod things are crazy expensive here and it would be cheaper for me to buy from the USA and pay shipping. Thanks so much Claire ❤

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I need to look into this! I would totally consider it but need to see how to do that with just one product since I’m not allowed to do it with DIY paint. 🤔

[@anitawells3705]

Good video

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Glad you enjoyed

[@kimcollins9462]

Heather, I love you dearly but I can not say I like your first project! If I did I would be ban from the Collins family. My family and me too are UT fans all the way, living in Tennessee does that to you. Lol 😂 No really both my suns played football but the oldest was the one, UT came and looked at him in high school several times, I remember the first time his couch told him to go stand in the library not to say anything to anyone but just stand there, this was freshman year. The lineman couch came up here to just get a look at him. He was so excited and new from then on he would play for them. But sadly it wasn't in the cards, he has extremely high blood pressure and the Drs said he could never play college or professional football. He was heartbroken. He is 38 now, married with 2 boys and he is a teacher and coughs football for his son's team. So he's happy. But I can't say anything good about Georgia. Congratulations on your anniversary. God bless.❤

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Haha! I totally understand your struggle! 🥰

[@youfounduswi]

How do you display the leaves in your booth? I made a bunch last year, priced at $7 and only a couple sold. I displayed them together, in a basket. I had saved the mesh bags they came in, so, figuring people didn’t know what to do with a single leaf, I put 3 in a bag, at a much Lower price, and they are not moving that way either.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I have done it two ways. One is a basket with the leaves inside priced separately and then I scatter them throughout my booth in vignettes to show how to decorate with them. I hope that helps!

[@CindyGarcia-i6z]

If you can't beat them join them. Yes, make the bulldogs, and they will sell.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you so much!
