    I love them all but I will make the tiered tray I have a flea Mkt booth and makes wreaths and fairy villages and glue glass items together so I will try the tray first.
    I have been watching you for a long while and I just love you.
    What got me to watching was your easy going southern charm
    Being from Ky too I can relate to you and you give me inspiration when I feel like I don’t have any left.

    These are some really cute crafts. There are a few that are in the running for my favorite. But if I absolutely had to choose one it would be the personalized rolling pins.

    I’ve been following you for quite awhile now! I love to watch you craft. It relaxes me. I have two auto immune diseases and don’t get to do as much as I’d like, but when I can and am feeling good enough…I’ll do a little crafting. I also paint on canvas using acrylics. I just started back a couple years ago while I can still use my hands to be able to paint for my family. I love making things!! You are such an inspiration to myself and all your followers! I appreciate the time you spend online with us. God bless you and your family!

    I really enjoy your painting techniques. I just watched you paint the carrot, chick, and bunny. So stinking cute. I love the tier trays and setters.
