I just love how obvious it is that Ben cherishes and protects his girls, and how safe and loved they feel with him. He knows and celebrates their interests, which I can say as a woman is so endearing. We need more heart on their sleeves but strong guys like Ben in this world. And of course he is lucky to have these two wonderful ladies in his life that love and celebrate him just as much! You all are such a great bunch of folks. 🥰

[@thressapratt7150]

Courtney, I hope I spelled that right. I live in the US and really can only afford to give kind words and encouragement. I love to tune in and see you laughing and having a good time with your mom and dad, brings light into my day too! Your cooking looks amazing as well. I'm happy you and your family share this part of your lives with us. You'll do great things in this lifetime no matter what. Keep it up young lady.

[@teriwood9657]

I'm jealous of Courtney. I miss fishing with my Dad.

The skulls are all amazing! That was really sweet of that couple to send all of you those gifts.

Thanks guys such a great inspiration, just loved the skulls and wasp nest.

These are the greatest! I enjoy my Aussie family! Thank you for sharing your joy.

The squish ball in the skull makes me think I'd love to see a flower in a skull

Dear Ben and Family, I love your inspirational and creative stuff on YT. You guys are the opposite of all the bad in the world. Big hug from The Netherlands.

[@anniewardlow9297]

I LOVE the skull with the "koosh-ball" in it looks like the mind blown 🤯 emoji! I AM the skull with coffee on ☕ brain...sad but true! PS: Maybe add some glitter to the skull with the 🤯 next time... too cute.

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

Awwww, what a great vlog! So kind of the couple who gave you such thoughtful gifts. I have tumbled rocks and absolutely love it. The tumbler will take your rocks through four stages of finer and finer grits, the last one being a polishing compound, so the rocks will come out super shiny like the ones you got! I'm with Courtney on the moving dock. It makes me queasy too! In fact, I felt kind of funny just watching! Thank you for sharing your fun and smiles. ❤ I love you guys. ❤

[@LSK77_]

Wow the coffee bean skulls turned out incredible 🎉 So nice to see Courtney smiling ❤ I think I may be in love with Luna 😂 to cute and so small. Love to you all 😘

One thought I had regarding the polished stones is that they would look great in a resin diorama / ship in a bottle of the Millennium Falcon flying through the asteroid field. It's great to see Courtney doing so well - thanks for doing these blogs!

The skulls are amazing!!! Love the pompom one. My 20 year old has a rock tumbler n he LOVES it! It's really cool. We even though about putting some of his tiny ones into coaster or geode molds. Nothing like family quality time together! When family is close u can get thru anything together. Have an amazing day/night. Take care n happy creating!! The gifts were so cute. I almost thought Ben was gonna get the same gifts but in different color. Lol.

Courtney 💕 So good to see her be out there and laughing. I know that doesn’t mean everything’s perfect or anything. Trust me, I know. My mental health isn’t the greatest. Still good to see ☺️

[@MakinStuff]

With your scanner, you can scan your heads, the dogs if you can get them to sit still long enough, almost anything. Then 3D print it, smooth the 3D print (sand and/or paint with resin), make a silicone mold of the 3D print, then do resin objects from them.

[@alisonmary1443]

That's what my coffee head brain looks like, cool, pom pom head I think is a scatter brain. Luna was on top form what a wee sweetie. The gifts were obviously well thought out, very special. Love the vlogs, real family time and care can't beat that. Courtney, so good to see you in the vlogs 💖Thank you for sharing 👍

Love fishing with my boys, we went last Saturday and caught a few and had a fun time

[@stephanieruggles7360]

I love seeing you guys so happy. My favorite skulls are the coffee and orange, the pompom and the dichroic. They turned out amazing. The small dichrouc skulls would make great key chains. The blue and white stone sodalite. The others seem to be mostly jasper. The green one could be muss stone, but Im not sure about that. Anyway they all look beautiful and,are considered gemstones. You could make some cool rings wirh resin out of them. Or Pendants wirh the bigger sizes. Those nailpolish sets are so thoughtful. Thank you for sharing.

[@thedogbarker1]

Love the coffee skulls!!! Great idea Nicole!! And those little skills would be so cool on the valve stems on your car!

[@sandraatkinson8855]

Oh the small skulls just sand them mat and that will make them show up ghostly in the clear resin. That would look cool. Great video guys.

[@irenebrennan5747]

hi guys its wonderful to see you happy. love the skulls they turned out fabulous. I have been doing resin since January, not as good as you but getting there i took up resin to help me with my FND and FMD and I also got back into art its been very hard but I will not let it get the better of me, I got FND and FMD 6 months after my dad passed away a week after what should have been his 70 birthday. 2018 was a bad year for me having 2 people I love pass with in a day of 1 other not sure if I mentioned this before and recently I got trigger finger but it has not stopped me. I did 3 lights for my mam sister Michelle and my friend Lee. Anyone that has seen my friends one went mad about her light, Now I am in the middle of making one for a friend of lee, her friend loves bee's so I got honey jars with honey sticks and fake bee's to make a ligth with and resin hope it turns out. look forward to seeing more videos from you keep up the good work.

[@lynnsonmor4330]

Really enjoy the bunch of you ! I’ve always thought it was odd people giving advise .. here’s me trying to see your feet lol came pretty close at the beginning of the video. I’m now held back by not looking after my feet/ back/knees in my youth . I use orthotics now and it helps a lot and I can send longer .i swear I heard flip flops on your hard floor the other day and it sent a shiver up my spine. I hope you all are looking after those feet so you can save your back and knees. 💕 love you will never interfere again . Promise !

I love those skulls. I just thought of an idea you could try. filling the mold with little gift soaps that come in different shapes and see if the heat of the resin makes the soap bleed into different colours

[@lisamartin4928]

I like the white one with the tin foil, and the one with the ball inside.

Those mini skulls cold be key chains if you put an eye screw in the top and added a bit of a chain and the ring. If I had them Id have a screw at the bottom and use them as drawer pulls, just some ideas

[@kandipiatkowski8589]

I remember when I was a kid, we used to go fishing at a late about 6 hours from home. We were sitting on a dock, I went to cast, and lost my grip on the pole. I was in so much trouble.....until I looked a the light that was on the side of the dock.....and the fishing line had caught on the light. Luckily, I was able to get the pole out of the water. The fishibg there wasnt too good. I think the biggest fish i caught was about the size of that prawn. 😅😅😅

Master Bater and Rod Holder 😂🤣😂🤣 You are a crack up. The Skulls 💀 look so absolutely awesome. 👍👍👍 Just a thought for some of the skull ideas 💡. A couple things that might really look cool in them. Like in the small ones a single dice 🎲💀 would be really cool and in the bigger ones maybe multiple dice 🎲🎲🎲🎲 💀 and/or a mini deck of cards ♥️♦️♣️♠️💀. What do you think 🤔 As for the mini cards there is a company called Super Impulse Worlds Smallest Toys and they are on Amazon and eBay and they have whole decks of cards that are only about an inch to an inch and a half high automatic looking poker cards and I really think that would look super cool in the skulls 💀💀💀 just thought my friend.
