You have the most amazing ideas and the frozen cookie dough in the tins was a great idea. I'm going to get off the couch now and get busy around here, you inspired me 😉😊❤

[@gracefulliving_]

Awww, you’re so sweet. Thank you. Ha! I’m sure you’ve been so busy throughout your day and didn’t need to get off that couch. Lol. Have a wonderful evening, friend.

[@gracefulliving_]

Awww, yay! Thank you for letting me know. I love that you feel inspired to try different things. You are more than welcome. Thank you for being here to watch this morning. Have a wonderful day.

[@marsha8406]

Deena I like my candle light,lamp light. Clean - polished - scented home. I use a wax warmer outside of my front door. You are a child of God. Bless you and your wonderful family 🙏.

[@gracefulliving_]

Oh, me too. I have used mine for years and years now. Ha! Clean, polished and scented. That’s the way to go. Lol. Thank you so much for your sweet words. Have a wonderful weekend.

[@vernayoung2467]

Deena, your home always seems so welcoming and inviting as you invite us in, and l know you are the ultimate hostess for whomever you invite into your home. It reminded me of Romans 12:13 and that is why it feels like that. You fulfill that verse perfectly.

[@gracefulliving_]

Thank you so much. I do appreciate your kind compliment. I hope to be a great hostess. I do love the idea of our guest feeling very welcome here. Thanks so much for watching today. Have a wonderful evening.

[@revabrown2288]

[@gracefulliving_]

You are so kind. Thank you! I really do appreciate your kind compliments. Thank you for watching today. Have a wonderful day.

[@lindahensley1646]

This is so lovely and such a thoughtful way to show hospitality to your guests. I love Ronnie's desk, it's fit for the President. Does he ring the little bell to summon you to his office (just kidding). Your home is so lovely and I'm sure your guest feels at ease there with you. Love you girlfriend!!! Enjoy your weekend.

[@gracefulliving_]

Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I love his desk too. Ha! Too funny! It would be the other way around for sure. Lol. Thank you so much for being here to watch today. Have a wonderful evening.

[@mariawilliams1314]

Deena, Thank you for this video with so many thoughtful ways to be such a thoughtful host. I knew you would be a wonderful host. 😊❤😊

[@gracefulliving_]

Thank you so much for being here to watch it. I really do appreciate you coming back and I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Have a wonderful evening.

[@kathyhartsell4383]

Good afternoon Deena! What a wonderful idea placing a scented wax warmer outside your front door to welcome your guests and soft quiet music is always a plus, too! Thank you for sharing all your hospitality tips especially showing the beautiful and thoughtful hostess gifts! 🍂💕

[@paulinegoulding9839]

Thank you so much Deena. I love to entertain. Absolutely brilliant tips. The iPad with continuous music in the bathroom is a super tip as well as a fragrance in the doorway. Lots of love from Ireland.

[@gracefulliving_]

You are so welcome. Thank you for being here to share it with. I’m so glad you enjoyed the tips. The two you mentioned are definitely my favorites too. Hugs and well wishes for a great weekend.

[@lynnydonnelly9725]

Thank you so much! Your hospitality ideas were wonderful. ❤️

[@gracefulliving_]

Awww, thank you. I appreciate you being here today. Have a wonderful afternoon.

[@debbiejenkins1682]

Oh my, you are truly the best! I could watch your inspirations 24 hours a day. Curious can you tell me about the seal on the toilet paper?

[@gracefulliving_]

Awww, thank you so much. I appreciate that. Yes, the seal is simply letting your faucet run for a second to get wet, then press the corner of the triangle on the roll up to the bottom of the faucet. The little round base of the faucet will creat a stamp that will stay because of the water left behind. I would try all your faucets to see which one you like mos, they’re all different. Have fun.

[@janicekeisler9225]

Wonderful ideas Deena! Sometimes, I get obsessed with the cleaning before company comes and forget these lovely ideas to appeal to the senses and overall feeling of our home. Thank you for being an inspiration to us!

[@gracefulliving_]

Thank you so much! I am the same way, Janice. This past year I’ve really tried to work on things like this because I would become so overwhelmed by the thought of our home being “such a mess.” I know in my realistic head that that wasn’t the case, but in my nonsensical head…it made so much sense. Now, I try not to be silly about it and focus on being with my guest. 🤍 thanks so much for being here. Have a wonderful week ahead.

[@cindypatterson4752]

Thank you sweetie for the video. I am definitely inspired. I do most of what you have done in your video but there’s a couple of things that I am going to implement into my traditions and all that I do around here for when we have company drop-in or just family, thank you for all you do. I so do appreciate you and look up to you. You are a special lady in my life and I so enjoy listening to you watching you and do all the things take care. Enjoy your Friday. Excuse me Thursday. Enjoy your weekend ahead take care, sweetie.

[@gracefulliving_]

You are more than welcome! Thank you for watching another one this week. I so appreciate you, Cindy. You have been such a faithful friend! I cannot begin to express my thanks to you for being so incredibly kind and supportive. I hope you have a blessed day. 🤍

[@rossmerytuero978]

Hello sweet friend, I enjoyed this video so much with the wonderful ideas to have a beautiful time with guests in my home. You are truly amazing thinking about every detail.

God bless our nation 🙏.

[@gracefulliving_]

Beautiful. I also enjoy refreshing my bathroom, kitchen and dining area before guests arrive. I also have cute paper towelettes in our bathrooms.

[@gracefulliving_]

I’m sure you do, Fina. You all always have such a neat and tidy home. 🤍

[@denisejg1763]

What beautiful touches and gift ideas! God has truly given you the gift of hospitality and grace. Tucking these ideas away for future use. We are entering a new phase in our life called retirement and I am looking forward to our new home and new ways of welcoming our guests. What an inspiration you are. Thank you for sharing your lovely talent with us. May God’s favor continue to be upon you!

[@gracefulliving_]

[@donnacampbell1641]

Deena thank you so much for this extra video. I absolutely loved it. You pay attention to the details and it always shows. I love the things you do to get ready for guest In preparing your home. We don’t need to leave out the every day things for guest to see. And who would not want to receive that beautiful tin of cookies or the lovely flowers. So thoughtful. Do any of your friends ever call you Martha Stewart. Our family has on occasion call me Mamaw Stewart. Ha ha ha. Love in Christ

[@gracefulliving_]

You are most welcome. Thank you for being here to watch another one. I’m so glad you enjoyed this one. Ha! I try too. Lol! Yes, I have been called Martha Stewart on occasion. Have a wonderful day, sweet friend.

[@jillbruce3624]

Great, cozy ideas. I think those florals are Proteas (spelling). Beautiful gifts for anyone to be pleased to receive.

[@gracefulliving_]

Thank you!!! YES! I think you might be right. I think that’s what was on the label. Thanks so much for watching today. Have a wonderful day.

[@jackielambes7208]

I love the hostess gift cookie tin. Who wouldn’t love that?!

[@gracefulliving_]

Oh, I am totally with you on that. Especially, raw dough that I can throw in the oven when we want fresh warm cookie. Umm, yes please! Lol. Thanks so much for watching. Have a great evening.

[@debragunter8924]

Love the ideas. The BHG wax melt is one of my favorites and I have this same wax warmer. My cat would destroy that on porch!!😳😂. Liquid Gold is wonderful. My Mother restored several wood finishes with that. I also use it on my wood kitchen cabinets to keep them in good shape. 😊💕

[@gracefulliving_]

Thank you so much. Oh, it’s mine too. I use so many of their scents. Ha! I could totally see a cat have a a time in that wax. Lol. Yes, it is amazing! I love the shine it adds. Thanks so much for being her today. Have a wonderful evening.

[@lk2688]

Thanks for these tips!! It’s so good to see you on YT again; you’ve been missed. Protea flowers are amazing….I believe you can dry them as well. May your Thanksgiving Season be filled with blessings. Lynda

[@gracefulliving_]

Thank you for watching this morning!! Awww, thank you so much. It’s so good to be back here with each of you. I really missed you all as well. Yes!!! Oh, thank you!! Oh, amazing! Thank you for that info too. I hope your thanksgiving is beautiful as well. Have a wonderful day.

Thank you so much. I appreciate your kindness, and you being here today. Have a wonderful evening.

[@maryrose7842]

Really beautiful. Excellent choice of flowers. The Proteas are so long lasting and they are unusual flowers.I actually saw them growing in a garden while visiting Australia once. 😁 You did a great job wrapping the bouquet also . The cookies look amazing. Great idea for a Christmas present. How do you keep the silver dishes polished? They become tarnished so quickly and brass is the same.

[@gracefulliving_]

Thank you! Yes, the flowers really worked out and I’m so glad I found them. Oh, I can only imagine finding them in a garden, so beautiful. Awww, thank you. I love using the tissue to wrap them in. As for my silver, I don’t keep it polished at all. The more tarnished the better in my opinion. I know that’s not for everyone. Ronnie would love for me to polish some, but I just love it this way. Thanks so much for being here. Have a wonderful day.

[@maryrose7842]

@@gracefulliving_ Hi Deena oh that's interesting about the silver I think I may start using the few pieces I have without polishing it so 😁. Those Proteas are an expensive flower but so beautiful ❤️ A wonderful gift for sure. Have a wonderful weekend 😊 also to you and your family
