I'm a big fan of make do projects to get the look I love. I collect primitive including some portraits. My granddaughter once asked her mom why Grandma had pictures of ugly children with cats. My grandkids are now young adults and I terribly miss all the fun we had. Give yours a big hug from one of their fans. Your projects were awesome!

😅 I love having your granddaughters on the video! I was giggling and laughing from all the shaking of the camera. Little Claire's hands are so tiny that when I first saw them in the video I thought they were the hands of a doll she was holding! Call precious! You are so blessed to have your grandchildren nearby❤❤🦋🙏 your projects turned out beautifully

Oh my, little people sure do shake things up, literally!! 😄 I could not get Margaret to stay off that tripod. She had no idea it mattered at all. But when Claire said "it looked at me" I just cracked up! 😆 what a funny way to say she could see herself in the camera viewfinder! I loved seeing her tiny hands in that first shot, too 😍

Marla have I shared my first grandchild was born this May❤ I can’t wait to experience all the blessings he will bring to our lives. Thanks for sharing your beautiful and entertaining grands with us.

The video I do have posted is from summer before last. It will make a fun task of unboxing my stored patriotic decor since I haven't seen it in a while! 🇺🇸

How wonderful!! That's a really great idea! They're going to LOVE that. ❤ The time I spend with my grandbabies is priceless, and there's always a memory being made. I think these girls will get a kick out of watching themselves in this video for years to come! 😄

It is impossible for me to pick a favorite...but if I had to, I guess it would be the marshmallow and Cracker Jack tins. Those turned out so believable. And that rooster must be proudly, but silently, crowing at his fabulous new makeover! You might have struggled with the mechanics and painting of the eagle, but your solutions were creative and look great. Of course that had to be because you had such cute helpers while you worked. Isn't it the best; crafting with the grands. The memories of that time with Miggie will be sweet, for you and them. Their inquisitive, funny questions and comments were the best.....why do you love old things.....😂😂😂 I see future crafters! Hope we see more of them! Thanks for all the great inspiration.❤

😄 I am guessing they'll be popping into future videos here and there! I know they enjoy the attention, no doubt! The tin dupes did turn out nicely, but from 3 feet away 😉 and that works for me. I've kind of turned a corner with my crafting. Instead of "what's everybody else doing?" I'm now asking myself "how can I make a version of that thing I've always wanted?" It's challenging me to think hard for unexpected materials (synthetic hair for the antique paintbrush). I've got a sizeable list of projects I'm planning to film soon. We are in North Carolina this weekend, twins & their parents are with us, and we are having a wonderful time. Will share pics soon ❤️

The tins look fantastic. Before I watched the video, I just assumed you purchased them. All your projects look amazing. 😊
