Regarding the kindness rocks: My mom was killed 17 years ago yesterday at age 66 by a drunk driver. She is always on my mind and I miss her, especially when doing activities with my sister. A couple of years ago my sister and I took a trip to the Washington coast, staying in a lighthouse keeper's house which we knew our mom would have loved doing with us. While hiking on a trail, I happened to glance at a log bordering the trail. Much to my surprise, there was a painted rock with the word HOPE on it. That was my mom's favorite word, so I then knew that she was with us on that trip. I took the rock, of course.

[@lynetteeades9010]

🙏🙏. I’m so sorry for your loss. My mother got hit by a three fourths ton truck walking in a parking lot. She made it after being in a medical induced coma for over 6 months. And years of rehabilitation and hospitals. My ❤ goes out to you. 🙏🙏😢😢

[@Danajanene]

❤❤❤❤ What a great memory. Sorry for your loss.

[@beth8095]

[@tgayer1]

So sorry for your loss. Hugs! 💕

[@kristieoren1294]

Hang in there. Believe in the signs. Of course she is with you. Beautiful to see the messages. Sorry for your painful loss!!

[@chriswedmore]

I have done this with scripture verses. God will lead the person to it who needs it. Love this idea with the rocks.

[@RebeccaCone-w2j]

Several years ago a young girl in our campground started painting rocks and hiding them for others to find and re-hide. This young lady just graduated from college and the rock hunting is still going strong! We have rock painting parties several times during the summer to make new rocks to find.

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Love it!

[@cathykozlowski2860]

Hi Courtney!!! Love all the projects…the kindness rocks and the little ghosts around the campfire!!! One summer, when our granddaughter was just 3 years old, we painted some rocks white. Once they dried, she painted little designs on the rocks (squiggly lines, polka dots or just little blobs)!! She used neon bright colored paint to make the designs. She couldn’t wait to take them to their camper to weight down the napkins once her mom set the picnic table for breakfast!!! The rocks served their purpose and looked so cute on the table for each meal. She was so proud of them!!!

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Love that! How fun!

[@barbierosevear8705]

I love the kindness rocks!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

❤ You rock, Courtney. I love the idea of kindness rocks. I'm going to do this with my grandchildren. ❤

[@cindycamden5673]

Hello Courtney, busy girl coming up with those ghost. So cute.

[@dianbutler4165]

I am definitely going to do this! I am a cancer patient and I go to a Cancer Center for my treatments. I am going to leave my rocks at the Cancer Center for the patients and their families to find. I love this!

[@CreativeontheCheap]

@@dianbutler4165 I love that! Thinking & praying for you during this time.

[@annausten3039]

You made my day!! The rock with the smiling sun in the rainbow made me smile!! I needed that!! Thank you very much!!

[@shawndelaney9311]

Love them all, the little ghosts were adorable.

[@theresapatrono4062]

Great idea. Love it. I went on vacation 2 years ago. A place that my husband loved, and we went many times. I went to sit on a chair near the pool area and found a crotched heart. It was so pretty. I do not remember what it said, but it made my day. It was like a sign from my deceased husband. When I inspected later, I noticed there was a note attached to it. Again, I don't remember the exact words, but the purpose was to bring joy to someone and to also pass it on. They also wanted you to post it on Facebook to see how far it would travel. At first, I did not want to give it up., about 2 weeks later I had a doctor's appointment at the oncologist, and I decided to leave it there on a chair, and I did post it on the Facebook group page. It was interesting to read about the group and their mission and where the hearts have traveled. I will never forget this. I will be participating in the rock challenge. The great thing is that I am traveling to that same spot this year in 2 weeks and I think I will leave it there and hopefully bring joy to the person who finds it like when I found the heart. The ghosts are adorable. Cute cactus. Nice trivet. Have an awesome week. I am so excited about doing the rocks.

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Oh I love that! I do write a little note on the back of the rocks as well letting them know they can take it, leave it, or give it away and then ask that they tag.

[@lisaogg6337]

Love the painted rocks!!🥰🥰 Wonderful job putting them all in different places!!👍👍

[@LexiAnderson-qq8jl]

Love this video and will definitely be participating in the kindness rock challenge. It was very relaxing just watching you create that rock start to finish, so I would love more KZbin short ideas for rocks. I have a hard time coming up with my own ideas, but definitely could copy your great ideas to put on rocks! Thanks for another great video!

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Thank you!

[@dragonladyhs75]

Yes, please, do more!

[@barbarahill904]

Well the Craft Magician really hit it out of the Park again !!!! So cute & what a Great Idea

[@carlaferrovecchio950]

All the children in my neighborhood made these during Covid in 2020. It caught on quickly and all of Kingwood Texas had rocks everywhere. Some were so beautiful but they were all very special. Love the idea, glad you did this. 🩵🩵🩵

[@pamelaestes6427]

That M&M made me hungry.

[@MichelleAngello-sm7cy]

Hi these diys are so stinkin cute....❤ I like the idea of the river rocks to give people a lift after the devastation of Beryl or just to bring a smile 😊 Little ghosts are adorable with the campfire, trivet plate is super cute and a step up from just the plate by itself.....TFS your great diys.....❤

[@TheJcs555]

💞The "Ghost Campsite" was adorable, Courtney! Bless you and thanks for sharing! 😍💖🙏

[@Quest4it]

My daughter and grandaughter found one at the park they go to. IT DOES MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY!!! Its a really cool idea❤ DARLING PROJECTS!!!

[@Cheray_]

The M&Ms rock was too cute, melted my heart in your hands😉❤🙏🏾

[@janelandry6584]

❤❤ love the kindness rocks. The cactus idea is so cute.

[@marycasey9404]

I love the kindness rock idea❣️ The world needs more kind words spread around, and hopefully, I will be able to participate. We have a trip coming up, and I will have surgery when we get back.

[@KCCAT5]

I love the organic feel of working with rocks. Many years ago I covered a wine bottle in these little Dollar Tree River Rocks and I still have it to this day and it seems like I was the only one that liked it my family did not ooo and aaah over it but I didn't care it's what I like and I love the trivet it just brought back those vibes and the kindness rocks I remember seeing that about 20 years ago and wanted to do it and just never got around to it so I think I'm going to put that on my to-do list also.

[@KCCAT5]

And I love the little ghosty around the campfire those were so darn cute

[@maryortiz2342]

You Rock!!! Love the kindness idea. We all know this world needs more kindness. ❤

[@debbielencioni4257]

My favorites were the kindness rock project and I like the idea of putting scripture verses on them. I also loved the ghosts around the firepit. There are so many ways you could go with that for the different holidays. Thanks Courtney for these great rock ideas.

[@michellecouch171]

Love n the trivet idea Thank you

[@robinwoods9961]

I love all the rocks you made. My mom and me use to do pet rocks with different saying on the bottom of them. I love 💕 the placing the rocks where people could find the gem of the day.

[@tinakoslosky1145]

I am a patient at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I had chemo last year and could not fathom getting through it. A family started making rocks and putting them in the garden I walked by on the way in. It is heartwarming. They painted a shell saying take a rock, leave a rock. I am into ladybugs. There was one there and the woman handed it to me. Just a small gesture to make a stranger smile. If I could figure out how to show you!

[@CreativeontheCheap]

@@tinakoslosky1145 I love that! You can email it to me!

[@charlesterviel5748]

I’m watching my grandson this summer while his parents work. This is a perfect activity for us. Thank you for the inspiration Ruth

[@darlaavard3318]

@jodeez - so sorry for the loss of your Mother. I love your idea of having the rocks at her service. That is such a unique way to honor her memory. I'm keeping you in my prayers.

Love the ghost!

I love the kindness rocks idea. I’ve been painting rocks for a while and I love these ideas

People are always leaving these racks and my Ice Cream Store so other people could find them. It’s nice when people do see them makes their day.

The ghost rocks around the campfire was my favorite

[@jikook7457]

What a fun, inexpensive way to make others smile. I love the idea of decorating and hiding the rocks around the town. Thanks for sharing. Now, someone come to my town and hide some so I can find one 🙂

[@margaretdillinger5090]

I’m so proud of you. You are a rock star. I love these ideas. The trivet would make for a nice present, wedding or Christmas etc. 😊❤

[@pamelataylor3537]

Loved all these but my favourites are the kindness rocks. TFS

[@lydiamcpherson7925]

Love, love, luv the kindness rocks project!!! What a sweet, meaningful thing to do. It would be nice to do these every so often and keep a set in your car, so wherever you go, you can leave one. Neat way to make someone's day. Gotta go get me some rocks...💗💗💗 Fun and simple thing to do. (Loved Smile... happy looks good on you)!!

[@suzzannelemarier3350]

Loved them all but I really got a kick out of the ghosts and the cactus. So cute.👍

[@Danajanene]

💕 The thought of doing this made me smile. 🙂

[@SabrinasCraft-nanigans]

Serial plant killer here myself!! Definitely going to make the cactus! I bet you could make some types of succulents with the rocks too!!😍😍

[@beckythompson700]

❤I Have wanted to work on these for a while now, I found a couple in the last year and they always make me so happy! Thank you for the inspiration, now I and ready to get mine done, so I can spread the joy! ❤

[@luanastone8350]

I L.O.V.E. those kindness rocks. I hope someone in your area finds them and feels better about all the trouble Beryl brought. So glad your damage was minor. I'm about 45 miles northwest of Waco and was hoping for a bit of rain from Beryl, but alas, we only got two very brief showers. However, the clouds for the day were great at keeping the temps down. Good luck with your repairs.

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Thank you! Yes, I hope it brought a little sunshine to their day.

[@deaneclark6469]

I love, love your kindness, rock idea!❤ As always, Courtney, all of your diys are amazing, but my favorite is your ghosts sitting around the campfire! So cute!😍 As always, Courtney, thank you for sharing all of your hard work, creativity, talent, and inspiration! Stay safe, healthy, and positive! God bless you and your family!🙏❤️🇺🇸😊

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Thank you so much!

[@charlotteschimpff8137]

I love this project, I haven't seen any rocks in a long time.

[@third4life]

💕 I’ve been looking for a project with some depth and meaning. You have inspired me, Courtney. 🥰

[@jpendowski7503]

So very cool. I wish I was not anticipating a move and life change. Taking up another craft is against the downsizing project. The Ghosts and trivet are tempting me.

[@angelaromo224]

Wow great DIY's with rocks

[@jodeez]

I have been thinking about you so much lately. In June my mom fell and broke her hip. She was 80 and unfortunately she passed away within a week. I have loved the idea of kindness rocks. I grew up watching my mom and her mom collect rocks for their gardens. Rocks always make me think of my mom & her mom and my children. What kid doesn’t love rocks!Thinking about painting rocks for people to take at her memorial, as well as some to just randomly hide for people to find. Besides what a great excuse to buy some acrylic paint markers. I finally I truly understand the depth of what you are going through when you talk about missing your mom. Sorry for your loss. 😢❤

[@CreativeontheCheap]

I’m so sorry for your loss❤️ A rock project sounds like a perfect way to honor your mom.

[@renaecarpenter1298]

Can’t wait to participate in the kindness rock project!!!

[@KCorrine]

It is really amazing how something so simple can impact another person in such a positive way. I have come across one of these before and it made me smile. I took a picture of it but I left it for someone else to find and enjoy. What a great video! I think it is a great idea and I hope to participate, despite my lack of drawing/painting ability. I do love positive sayings and quotes and I think I can handle adding some decorative detail. Your Ghost campfire was so cute!

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Yay! They are definitely fun to make!

[@jimandpegzeleznik19]

I love your river rocks. I didn’t know about the kindness project but I painted rocks with my grandchildren at “Grandpa Z. Camp” last month. My husband has been having a sleep out in our backyard with our grandchildren every summer since the oldest was 3. She will be 18 in August. There are 11grandchildren now-ages 6-18! The older kids still look forward to Grandpa Z. Camp every summer. The painted rocks were a big hit!

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Love that! How fun!

[@melissapacifico8279]

Kindness rocks is a wonderful idea i love it and your art was beautiful

[@maryjanecrans156]

I love the idea of painting kindness rocks and dispersing them in public places. My Great Niece just asked me today if I would paint rocks with her, this must be why. I really loved the little Ghost scene too. So very cute! Have a Great week, Be Blessed. 💞

Sure do like the ghosts but the kindness rocks was my favorite.

[@HeIsYourRisenChrist]

Courtney, I so enjoyed this vide😁 you're so creative, it's too hard to pick a fave bc they are all so fun, cute, and happy! I'd have to say the colorful sun rock w/different patterns and colors, wording that says; Know Your Worth' and you have such nice writing it's so straight! All the details on each rock make them sparkle even more. 2nd fave is the beautiful butterfly your daughter painted 😍that's so cool that your son and daughter enjoy being artistic like you. Whomever finds each rock is for sure going to feel special😍

[@MichelleVeronick]

💞 i love the ghosts

[@bobbieflores1057]
