Currently going through yet another miscarriage. My 4th in the past year. My YT feed is full of pregnancy/labor suggestions, I just don’t want to see them, but in that mix is this video. Your channel brings me so much peace, every time I watch one of your videos, I don’t know what it is but you just have a calming spirit about you and that’s exactly what I need right now!

I really LOVE your channel. Like the 2nd design on the manteI but think the twinkle lights should be either white or clear rather than gold which is a warm color but you are using cool colors. The mantel is such a focal point and thought it needed more than the first version. Also loved your buffet area. I go all out with red, green and gold decorations. Went to Home Goods yesterday but not the one that is closes to my home. We drove about 35 minutes to a bigger store. WOW, what a BIG difference. So much more Christmas decor than my local store. Two carts full later I was so happy with what I was able to get. My husband came with me and he was actually so much help. He even went to get the second cart. They had a china dessert set in red and white stripes. Oh my gosh, it was so cute. It was like a dream item I would love to display in my china cabinet but knew I shouldn't get it as they were individually priced, i.e. cup and saucer, plates, sugar and coffee creamer, and the tea pot which really would have been expensive. I couldn't believe it when my husband told me to get it. There were enough pieces so we were able to get a set for six. He examined every piece for me. What a great guy. We picked up so many great things that two different customers told us we had the best things in our charts. A lady was even following me to see what I was getting and asked me how I would be decorating with the different pieces. Whew 2 1/2 hours later we were finally ready to check-out. It was so much fun. Next Saturday we're off to At Home which I just found out there is one in my city. I had no idea but someone on You Tube was sharing her gingerbread purchases and I was going to order online and saw that there is one locally. What a surprise. Christmas is our favorite holiday so we cannot wait to start decorating but will be doing Thanksgiving next. Taking down Halloween and transitioning to Thanksgiving decor. Can't wait to finish up my Thanksgiving decor. Sad that so many people just bypass the holiday to transition to Chritmas. Again, love your channel. Praying for both you and Jason. Hope he is feeling well!.
