I love it! That is a great problem to have LOL 🤣 Thanks as always for stopping by Netta ☺️ ❤️ Have a great week

I thought the neck of the bottle was the head. He’s feeling a little peckish after all this sun. That reindeer is just plain cute. The cross is really pretty. Because it is the birth of Jesus I never have a cross at Christmas. That is gorgeous and because i5 reads ‘True Story,” it could be a Christmas decoration or with the right additional embellishments. It could then be used at Easter with changes in the embellishments.. I think I dozed off for a few minutes and missed some of the projects. I was awake to see Kay make gingham, but as I said I think I took a little nap part way through. The things you attached to Joy. Sound just about . Fadin again. Have a good sleep. G’ c

[@22ERICSHELLY]

Beautiful. I have two prayer requests. My friend's 23 year old daughter just passed away from cystic fibrosis. Another friend fell yesterday evening from a roof. They are waiting to find placement for his organs. They both had asked Jesus into their lives so we know we will see them soon in Heaven. Please remember their families. May Jesus continue to bless you and your family

[@CraftingCousins]

Oh no, I am so sorry for your loss. We will be praying for all of the family members that are grieving. It is a comfort knowing they will be waiting for us with Jesus but we do still miss them and our hearts hurt. Thank you for stopping by 😊❤️

[@LindaConder-nn7uy]

Sending healing hugs and prayers to both families ! 🤗♥️🤗🙏🏻✝️

[@22ERICSHELLY]

@@CraftingCousins thanks. May Jesus continue to bless you and your family

[@toandiloya585]

Do you happen to have a video on how to use the cropodile, I'm having trouble figuring it out. thank you!

[@CraftingCousins]

I don't have one specifically for using it, I have used it several times in different videos. If you can tell me which part of it is confusing you I will be happy to help. I can tell you the punches are the two side pieces. One is a small hole and the other is a little larger. The middle is not a punch, it is a snap or brad setter. If you need any help you can email us at [e-mail] and I will be happy to try to help. Thanks for stopping by and watching 😊❤️ Have a great week

[@vickiet4500]

I love ALL of the Christmas in July projects!…Great ideas!…I’m thinking a small styrofoam ball from Dollar Tree would have made a perfect head for the snowman…I will be looking in Goodwill stores for a round-shaped bottle so I can make my own…Thanks for the awesome idea!💕

[@CraftingCousins]

Great idea! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching 💕 Happy crafting 💕

[@CraftingCousins]

If you have a restaurant that sells alcohol near you, ask them. They normally just throw them away.

[@LamasCreationsDIY]

I think I seen santa driving a dump truck 😅

[@CraftingCousins]

It looks like he dumped it at my house LOL we have had guests all week and we ended up thrifting two days. I already had too much stuff, we won't talk about what it looks like now LOL 🤣 Thanks for stopping by my friend 😊❤️ Have a great week

[@ritzytavs7795]

Use rubbing alcohol to remove glue residue.

[@CraftingCousins]

Great idea! Thanks for watching 💕

[@CynthiaBriscoe-dz9gb]

out of curiosity, when you are giving your stuff away, do you finish the back?

[@CraftingCousins]

I always finish the back of my projects, it is one of the few things I am OCD about. Kay finishes the back if she is selling or giving away but isn't as worried about it if she is keeping it. Thanks for stopping by and watching Cynthia 😊❤️

[@lisaaustin9824]

My question is if you have a Cricut or Silhouette, why don't you use them? I am known for my beautiful handwriting, but I still would not feel good writing something that I am selling, even if it was tracing. If you are making it for your own use, that would be fine, just not for sell. I may be a perfectionist, but I want my projects to be as close to perfect as possible when I spend so much time making them. That being said, I do love your projects! They are so inspirational that I can't wait to make my own.

[@CraftingCousins]

Hi Lisa 😊 there are a couple of reasons. I like some items to have that homemade feel and hand lettering gives you that. If you take your time you can make it look like reverse stenciling. When we go to shows we get both kinds of customers. Some like the perfection of vinyl but there are some that prefer the hand made touch so we try to provide both. The main reason though is because we have so many friends that watch that cannot afford a cutting machine and we feel it is important to instill the confidence in them that they don't have to have a cutting machine to create. Thanks so much for stopping by and watching 😊❤️ Have a great week

[@Ann-co9bb]

Use 100% real lemon juice and you won't have that greasy residue that will ruin some items.

[@CraftingCousins]

I will definitely try that. Thank you for the tip 😊
