Well David, you have done it again. Your arrangement was beautiful before you started adding the succulents, but the magic happened when you started adding them, which pushed it over the top!!! I always love your and Jen's videos, because I always learn a lot, and also because of all of the humor between the two of you! I will be praying for healing for your back 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 and thank you for bring us these videos, even though I know you must be in a lot of pain.

I will pray for him because In Nov 2020 I had a surgery in my column and the pain it's not easy. God bless you and the family

[@DavidChristophers]

Thank you so much. Hope you have some relief. 🤗

[@lyndam8165]

[@pricedesign8805]

Prayers for your back David! Love the bowl arrangement. Jen, you are so funny!

[@DavidChristophers]

Thank you so much!

[@barbkenas5663]

Both beautiful but my face was the driftwood bowl. Prayers for you David that your back situation improves!

[@DavidChristophers]

Thank you! ❤️

[@rhondagentry2170]

David, sending you wishes for good recovery. Jenn, the App is one of the best that I have ever used. It is a breeze to navigate, good size pics of items, and really appreciate the wishlist feature. Ya'll take care! 🌴🌴🌴

[@DavidChristophers]

Awesome! Thank you so much. We appreciate you.

[@denisejordan8648]

So creative. I hope your back feels better soon. Jen you are funny 😄

[@DavidChristophers]

Thank you so much.

[@Bengor]

I can relate to David's pain. While the prayer brigade is awesome, proper care management also has to be enforced. Easier said than done I might add. I have a pinched nerve on both sides of my lower spine so lifting a bag of dog food can render me limping in pain for weeks. We need our master decorator up and about. However, with David operating at "slow" mode, you guys still crack me up. All the best!

[@DavidChristophers]

You are right. Proper care is so important. Thanks for watching. We are happy we can entertain you. 🤗

[@bettygunz4990]

I literally am calling tomorrow to find a back Dr. again.... have had 3 shots, years ago, but apparently I am herniated again. I feel the pain and send prayers. It is not fun at all! Literally can’t count on two hands how many cortisone shots I’ve had! Prayers sent your way!

[@DavidChristophers]

Praying for you this morning. We hope you find relief. ❤️

[@Sedgley9024]

I live in Carolina Beach NC. Love these ideas.

[@melaniecarosi8320]

The app is fantastic! You did a great job!

[@DavidChristophers]

Thank you. We are so glad you like it. ❤️

[@fayecraghead6820]

Oh and I am praying as I have back trouble so I pray God makes a way where there is no way! 😓😢😓

[@DavidChristophers]

Thank you so much!

[@cecilemorgan6579]

Very unique. Prayers for healing! My husband deals with really bad back a lot

[@DavidChristophers]

Thank you so much.

[@loriday1394]

Y'all crack me up! Love the arrangements. I feel an online shopping trip coming. Have spot that the driftwood and succulents need to spruce up. Prayers are going up for David. Love you all

[@DavidChristophers]

Great idea!! Have a wonderful day!

[@cherylcentenioblessedvirgi3241]

Your designs are beautiful. Whenever I have lumbar region back problems, I will lay on the floor with a basketball placed on the lumbar area. I will put a great deal of my weight on the area and have my feet resting on an ottoman for 20 minutes. This takes care of the back pain for me and I have full range of motion. I do not go to a doctor for my back. Thank you for sharing your video.

[@DavidChristophers]

So glad you have something that works for you. Thanks for sharing.

[@cherylcentenioblessedvirgi3241]

@@DavidChristophers You are welcome. It is rare that I have a back issue with severe pain but when I do, I use this technique that I developed in 1986. Since that time I have used the basketball 6 times-not bad at all.

[@rebeccabing3645]

Y'all are so funny ! I live in Central Texas, but South Padre is my happy place and my den in the near future will be beach themed. Back issues are such a pain. I tore the legaments from my pelvis and the leg was 2 inches longer. Quite painful ! Love the "wings"

[@DavidChristophers]

Thank you so much for watching. 🤗

[@alyannemartinez1662]

God bless you all. I believe that David need a more high table for work for help his back to don't be affect more. 🙏🙏🙏

[@DavidChristophers]

Thank you! He actually has a custom table made for him for his day to day work, but he uses the lower one for the videos so everyone can see better. ❤️

[@constantineangelgutierrez1851]

nice shirt David. I got one just like it. anyways Icyhot patches work as well as prayers try that my spouse uses it a lot at work. anyways take a week off ya is more important than anything we have to put ourselves first sometimes and respect our bodies they are carrying a lot of weight, this is what our dr, told us. free advice. anyways great job everything looks great.

[@constantineangelgutierrez1851]

ps, Jen when he is being stubborn send him to his room.

[@DavidChristophers]

YES! I have to get a little rough with him sometimes to get him to take care. Getting him to take time off is hard. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@dominguezmid]

So cute! I just loved the bowl arrangement. Please do a tablescape in this theme. I need inspiration.

[@DavidChristophers]

Thank you!

[@debbiebeasley4790]

Building a cottage on Edisto Beach.

[@DavidChristophers]

That sounds amazing!

[@bethmulligan2588]

Oh...I'm so sorry you have back pain...having completely blown my L3,L4,L5...I know what kind of pain you're dealing with. No bueno. Even a cough hurts. Be sure to have support under your knees when laying down. I'm not sure what issues are causing the pain...whether bulge disc or sciatic nerve but...I will tell you a story about what happened to me after my fall & chiropractor...I slipped on a kitchen floor where I worked. Next morning woke up in unbearable pain, hardly being able to move. After day 4 of that I went to chiropractor where my friend worked. He manipulated my body somehow...even bracing his feet on wall & pushing on me to get spine back in to place. I was able to walk again but started to notice that every time I either turned my head or lifted my arm as if to say hi...my knees would just buckle a little bit...Well...after going thru this for about 2 weeks I was at work & someone walked in front door & I turned my head to look at them & lifted my arm to say hi at same time & my knees just buckled & I fell to the floor. Ambulance had to take me to ER & within 2 days I was having major back surgery as it seems when the chiropractor had manipulated my spine it caused the matter that had blown out of my discs to push on to my spinal cord which in turn was tearing away from my spine everytime I was ...well...basically moving. The dr said...picture jelly donuts. Then he clapped his hands together to show what flattened jelly donuts looked like. The jelly that squeezed out of donut was what was pushing/tearing my cord off my column...nothing had shown up in the xray the chiropractor had taken the 1st day I went to him so he started to manipulate my spine...but the MRI,taken 2 wks later,showed the 3 blown discs & tear in cord. I only tell you all this so David realizes things that may happen. He looked very stiff in this video & I noticed it immediately...saying prayers ...as well as jumping over to your store...I've been wanting to make a succulent wreath

[@DavidChristophers]

So sorry you’ve had back issues, too. David has bilateral stenosis, a cracked disc, herniated disc and three discs that are fused together on one side. He was born with some of the issues. His spine twists inwardly. 😬

[@bosslady3708]

Hi 👋😊 I love your arrangements.did you make the round basket? It looks like big bird nest and I love it👍💯✌️😀👍

[@DavidChristophers]

David designed the basket at the factory and had it reproduced. Glad you like it. 🤗

[@sacredheartessentials]

Prayers activated. I declare healing in Jesus name. 🙏🏻❤️

[@DavidChristophers]

Thank you so much!

[@demmycalivas4730]

Sending healing prayers to David. ...Question: for the wire mesh ball, are the holes big enough to insert twinkle lights (specifically the battery operated ones)?

[@DavidChristophers]

Yes, you should be able to get them in. 🤗

[@memecats5698]

Would it help his back if The table was maybe 10-12 inches taller to work on?

[@DavidChristophers]

The design table he uses every was custom built for his height, and it does help a lot. He just uses this shorter table in the videos so people can see what he’s doing. 😉❤️

[@robailey3339]

Praying for your in back pain.

[@DavidChristophers]

Thank you. Appreciate the prayers.

[@mildredbarbosa5220]

I live in Arizona there's no beach here, usually we go to California,

[@Tony-InLosAngeles]

He’s mentioned his back before...David what’s wrong with you 🤕you haft to be careful! Get some rest!!! I got some of those from a gardener and dried them in my garage then trimmed gave them some color hung up on the wall myself. Jen a powerhouse watch out!!!

[@DavidChristophers]

How cool that you dried them yourself. And yes, David and his back.....he has bilateral stenosis, a fractured disc, three discs that are fused on one side, and a herniated disc...I think I am forgetting something...but he has definitely has some issues. Most he was born with, but they are showing up as he gets older. I'm trying to get him to rest up. He's stubborn. lol

[@Sedgley9024]

I feel bad about your back. Look up on youtube. Upright Health. They saved me. I follow their channel and do the excercises... I also use cbd sauve and pain goes away.. pure cbd does winders for my pain.. but you must get the right one. Lots if knock offs on the market. I have had great success with acupuncture too... I've gone in not being able to walk and them walked right out. I also suggest you raise your work station up high so you don't have to bend over like that the whole time... I have desk job and use a standing desk that can go up and down as I need it.
