@@CreativeontheCheap Hi Courtney, thank you for letting us know! The joys of technology! 🥰

[@patriciabellah9392]

Cute crafts

[@lyneljohnson2960]

No problem

[@morganamoore1226]

Great Video. Don't worry about the glitches I still enjoy the video all the same. You really fooled me with the last thing with the pole from the umbrella I thought that was gonna be a sign that said welcome to the north pole. 😅😅

[@maryellenyork2819]

The link to the voting is also missing!

[@rutherickson9419]

I loved the Reindeer! He was adorable! Also in my video, almost all of the reveals showed up in total blackness. Don’t know if anyone else had that issue.

[@courtneyesshaki2220]

Same here.

[@ingeborgbivins736]

The reveals are black for me too

[@jeanskasko4906]

Same for me as well

[@laras4919]

Yes

[@dawnhutchinson992]

Same

[@dianadunham6691]

Too funny "I'm from Texas; all this snow stuff is the same to me." I don't usually like fake book stacks, but I really like what you did.

[@sharonmikalauski6503]

The reindeer was absolutely adorable but all the projects were! I'm beginning to think there's NOTHING they can send you that's actually a challenge!! You rocked it!!🎉

[@CreativeontheCheap]

You are sweet!

[@sandrastrickland951]

The way you remade that reindeer Wow!!! Very good job 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@beechbaby2]

That reindeer is awesome and I love the stained glass ornaments.

[@peggymarsh6569]

Reindeer is ADORABLE!!! So sorry to hear about Jay’s dad, will keep her & her family in my prayers.

[@cynthiat6505]

Prayers for Jay and her family!

[@leeslonestargirl1]

OMG!!! From one Texan to another... You killed it!!! I totally thought you were not going to be able to pull that umbrella off!!! But, you nailed it!!! My favorite is the Snowman!!! TYFS your genius mind!!! You NEVER disappoint!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Thank you so much!

[@ChristinaElizabeth15]

Courtney, everything was sooo cute! The reindeer was such a great idea and I love love love the book stack. Thanks for including me in another round of the MBC!

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Thank you so much!! I love having you in it!

[@darlaavard3318]

All were so creative, but my favorite was the napkin rings! My thoughts and prayers go out to Jay and her family during this difficult time.

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Thank you so much!

[@terryfeuling5333]

I love your creative ideas, my favorite is the reindeer, the melted snowman, the gingerbread house and books. They are all amazing.

[@tinyhouse5454]

The gingerbread house came out ADORABLE

[@gailrhodes2859]

The reindeer is my favorite but I love your genius ideas with the umbrella!!! The use of the purple was awesome!!!!! You did great

[@rosettamcfall8982]

All so cute, but loved the reindeer, & the snowman melt down . So cute.

[@AngelaPEvans]

Very adorable ☺ 😍 the reindeer, melted snowman, your book stack.

[@sueemerson1887]

That reindeer is the absolute BEST!!!

[@shawndelaney9311]

All so cute. The reindeer and book stack were my favorites.

[@mystudiog7139]

The gingerbread house is my favorite but kudos to the umbrella sign!!!

[@denisedale6205]

Those were all really cute & so imaginative…my favorites are the napkin ring & frame…so cute!

[@JamesCrabtree-cp8ym]

I loved the melted snowman. All the decorations you made are so cute. You made it so much fun. I enjoyed watching your video. Thank you for sharing with us. 🤗

[@staceyvance7679]

I love the melting snow man. Very creative with the umbrella ... Great job.. all in all.

Thank you so much 😀

[@juliebey8240]

Definitely the melted ⛄️ is the 🏆 winner. Loved the Santa sign 🪧 pole😊

Mystery box!!!! Yay!!! Love these. Thank you so much !

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Glad you like them!

[@Kati_k_kuriosz]

Cute reindeer. I love love love the books with the sled.

[@cynthiawall7073]

Stained glass bulbs were my favorite ❤❤❤

[@vickilawhorn8284]

You are amazing! Loved them all. My favorite is the stack of books, but I am amazed at how innovative the Meltdown Snowman is. So adorable!

[@GinaMiller-ux2dh]

Love the gingerbread house!!! ❤

[@jsparklies]

Loved them all, but my fave was the Jingle Bells pole!

[@hopegeoghegan4184]

Reindeer, and books are my fav.

[@heatherleibowitz5244]

The first reindeer was my favorite!!

[@beckyc2486]

Courtney the umbrella isn't that bad if you break it down. Fabric, wire & plastic can give you a bunch of choices. Also you can paint the fabric. Really not bad supplies for $1.25. I think this choice was actually genius! Way to go Kelly Barlow! You can do this Courtney! I know it will be great!!!!

[@mishalindalittle2617]

Sh MaaaaaN. They were all are so cute. But, I couldn't see the final reveal ❤❤❤❤😮 Prayerts to Jay. One of my favorites.

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Sorry about that! I have no idea what happened! Check the pin comment to see pictures of those projects. I also so a pan of all the projects at the end of the video.

[@marystaples5869]

OMG Courtney all these turned out fabulous! Loved them all. Great job with the umbrella. TFS. Have a fabulous weekend! Take care. Blessings. Prayers for Jay and family

[@patbuegeler7770]

❤❤❤❤They were all great. Favorites were the deer and snowman. Great job.

[@twinmomcan]

You have such a creative mind. I had no ideas for those things you had to work with. I haven't watched any of these challenges in at least a year, Glad I caught this one!

[@barbarahill904]

Well Craft Magician all I can say is WOW WOW WOW !!!!! I'm in total shock how you used all those items. My absolute favorite was the Book Stack absolutely beautiful

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Thank you so much!

[@brendabryant6347]

You are so creative. Love the reindeer. He is adorable. Also love the snowman and the quote on it. All these are so cute.

[@Rhoda-Moore]

Love the books with sled on top. So creative. I love them all

[@jeanniestubblefield5877]

Absolutely so clever, all of them..... You did marvelous!

[@mizmcas2104]

The reindeer and book stack were my faves. I would use the Umbrella fabric for Santa's boots. The black umbrella handle would make a cute snowman hat

[@peggymorton8998]

Very well done and no Courtney queen of craft, and you could never fail

[@DanettaHarding]

The book stack, the gingerbread cottage, and the melted snowman! Absolutely brilliant!!! Thanks Courtney! 🌟🌟🌟

[@tammyhenderson4565]

LOVE the Mystery Box Challenge. Loved seeing NataLee's drill! What you did with the reindeer and the umbrella was amazing. I am always amazed at what you guys can come up with for an item. Thanks for doing these Courtney. Have a great weekend. Thank You for the free printables.

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Thanks so much! I love her drill!

[@lindamatthews5055]

Love them all. Deer is my favorite. He's so cute. Book stack is cute too. Have a blessed weekend.

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Thank you! You too!

[@geritate3388]

You are so creative, I love the reindeer the gingerbread house and the book stack. Really, as usual I love everything you did. Come on…….that melted snowman is adorable.

[@terribroyles5141]

Wow! Impressed by your commitment to removing the windows in the gingerbread house! I love how it turned out. Really, I love all your projects and the ingenuity you have to transform items.

[@dtropepe]

Courtney I love your reindeer makeover especially his frame with the patchwork ❤ I hope now you can make book stacks for every holiday so so adorable especially with all the bobbles 😊 TFS all these ideas all fabulous

[@carrieavila5713]

Love the reindeer and the book stack, I can’t decide which was my favorite 😆 But honestly, everything turned out great!

[@billsflower]

That reindeer is so adorable!!

[@ellen-marie6692]

Love these mystery box videos, especially Christmas ones! I definitely love the reindeer, books, Christmas cottage & snowman! The coal was a great plan B! For the umbrella I might have decorated it with a waterproof Christmas scene so it could be used in the rain - perhaps a Christmas in July theme or dismantle & maybe try to make an angel but changing the main colour, or a “rain-deer” somehow?

[@valeriefoster8274]

I love them all. I can’t pick just one. Great job on the umbrella

[@AnnieNailTech]

I enjoyed all of the projects but I have to say that the reindeer is the best! Such a sweet face and a great transformation...love it!

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@bobbieflores1057]

Girly you are beyond creative and very detailed and humorous all at the same time, and way to hard to pick a favorite, I really love them all tfs. Big Thumbs Up 👍❤🙏

[@lawanafolmar9107]

All of the fun things you have made are worth making.

[@nellmagnera4868]

Oh Courtney, I absolutely LOVE the meltdown snowman. Love and hugs.

[@CarolynS.Cooper-io4jw]

I absolutely love the sugar plum picture !

[@debbie9815]

I love the melted snowman.

[@BarbaraHay-n6m]

I think the coal idea from the umbrella was brilliant! I was thinking you were going to make a North Pole out of the Pole from the umbrella. The Jingle Bell sign is super cute!

[@LavenderLace-34810]

Love, love, love the reindeer! ❤❤❤. He reminds me of the characters in the Christmas movies I watched as a kid! My second favorite would be the book stack! I love the “snow” you added with the hot glue. You did a great job with the challenge items! I have no clue what I would do with an umbrella! Just the thought of challenge items in a mystery box gives me hives, lol!!

[@Catherine_AZ]

Omgosh the reindeer is the absolute cutest! Can’t wait to watch the rest of the vids!

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Thanks so much 😊

[@shelly1224]

I loved these all. That last one is a beautiful use of an umbrella😊

[@donnacook2531]

I adore the napkin ring and gingerbread house!

[@Becky-mp3ec]

The reindeer was such a good idea! Yours is so much cuter than how it looked originally!

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Thank you!

[@lanettecater6947]

I love all your diys. The painted ornament was awesome.

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Thank you! 😊

[@JodyNavratil]

Love them all! But I’m drawn to the melting snowman and gingerbread house. These mystery challenges are so fun!!

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Thank you!

[@AngieroneTarpley]

Love them! My favorite is picture of Chrismas Eve.

[@jamiebrown-nugent9120]

Great job making the reindeer your own!

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@Peanut1965]

I loved the reindeer and the book stack!!

[@crabappletales3853]

You did great Courtney! Great save on the umbrella.

[@susiedial1754]

Woman! You are amazing! How you recreate items is mind blowing. Awesome! Happy Holidays to you and your family!

[@Katina01TX]

I loved the Reindeer the best but see me making the bookstack 1st; it was so cute! For the cardboard challenge, I would have covered the cardboard on both sides with xmas paper and cut it into strips and made a Woven Swedish Advent Star. With the umbrella, I would have cut off the individual pieces of the frame and dipped them in glue and put glitter and snow on them and made them into icicles, and then used them in a garland. Loved your projects!

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Love the star idea!

[@maureenkrings3441]

You did great with all your projects!! I liked the gingerbread house.

[@lisaogg6337]

Oh my goodness I absolutely love em all!! It's impossible to choose one. 🥰🥰 God Bless y'all

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Thank you! 🤗

[@lorihodgeslor444]

You never cease to amaze me with all your creativity!

[@angiesmith9635]

I would have painted a peppermint swirl on the umbrella and had an elf using it as a parachute for outside decor. Great video as always Courtney!❤

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Great idea!! That would be so cute!

[@beverlymccracken4953]

That's a very cute reindeer! Great job.

[@TerriNeville]

You are very creative! All the projects are great.Thanks,Terri

[@claritzabenitez9341]

I love the book stack. Lately I have been enjoying book stacks and book decorating allot😊❤

[@reneedickerson4489]

Very cute reindeer and many more ideas 💡 thanks. ❤😊😊😊❤❤

[@cheryleaston6820]

Loved the Reindeer adorable. TFS

[@elinorbroullon4045]

The reindeer in the beginning was so cute and creative. Jingle Bells sign too, everything was great.....and you have a lovely singing voice!

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Thank you!

[@deannajohnson2629]

OMG 😲 I love ❤️ the reindeer! So whimsical and cute! ❤ I also love the books! Super cute

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Thank you!! 😊

[@Tracylovescrafts]

Love, love, love it all. The reindeer and the Santa book stack are my faves.

[@dianewilson3769]

That reindeer is darling!❤❤🎄🇨🇦

[@lindadelacy9330]

The stack of books turned out SUPER CUTE!!

[@dianahannagan3104]

I loved the melted snowman.

[@sewpretty13]

You are amazing! The creativity is fun to watch as you develop a project. Thanks for sharing the fails with the umbrella! Coal, what a great idea!!!!! It's so clever and funny as was the snowman meltdown!

[@lisabrown2113]

Love love love the reindeer and the melting snowman!!

[@laelswager4983]

All I can say is WOW!

[@joyceterra2265]

Hahaha coal idea! Loved it. Clever switch of gears there. Lol necessity the mother of invention.

[@christellerobertson2074]

I honestly did not know what on earth you were going to do with that umbrella!! I think you really rose to the occasion, especially with that Jingle Bells sign. Well done.

[@lindajones4398]

WOW! You have such a creative mind! I love all of these projects! The books and melted snowman were my favorite ideas.

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Thank you so much!

[@nikkiperry4103]

I love them all, my favorite is the coal! Very creative!

[@jenniferagrusa3155]

My goodness Courtney. You are absolutely talented beyond our crafting world. Loved everything but what blew my mind the most is that you created all these with items you didn’t choose. C’mon lady, your the best and I love your videos. My favorite were the books and sled. So beautiful and I’ll admit I’m copying that one😂

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! 🥰

[@crimequeencreates8248]

When I saw that you got deep purple as your color choice, I got very excited because I need some ideas for purple Xmas decor for my granddaughter. Purple is her favorite color.

[@bluetopaz1226]

Such a fantastic idea for your color of purple! I would’ve never thought of that!

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Thank you! 😊

[@terrys4179]

I love what you did with the metal reindeer head! And genius how you used the umbrella to make coal and the bells sign! Good job as always Courtney!

[@margaretdillinger5090]

You changed the stag head into the cutest deer. You always take the surprise pieces and really transform them into beautiful pieces. I’m loving the Jingle bell sign. Then again I’m loving everything. I saw the umbrella and got excited, I would have made the umbrella into a Christmas umbrella. Maybe a silly one but lol, it would be a Holly Jolly Christmas one. 😊❤

[@anitawells3705]

Love the reindeer ❤❤❤❤
