I would like to thank you for not bombarding us with product promotions. I realize it is free stuff and/or income stream but some influencers have very little of their original type of content and have resorted to non-stop promotions. So again thank you!

Definitely the blue and white napkin on the frames ❤

Well Sherry every time you upload a video and I watch a few projects I tell my husband for like the millionith time, this woman is a genius and I just don't know anybody that looks at an object and thinks outside of the box the way you do! That book lamp was a genius idea and turned out so cute! I could not love your channel more and I am so happy and it is so well deserved that your channel has grown by leaps and bounds in the last year, congratulations!

Girlfriend, it’s easy to see why you and your channel has gained such popularity. I love your unique style and your ability to attempt just about anything with a can-do attitude. I think the book lamp was my favorite, but everything held my attention and inspired me to get crafting. I always look forward to Monday. Thank you! 🦋🌻🐦‍⬛ And congrats on almost 200,000 followers !!!

The white shelf is especially beautiful.

Last time I was so lucky to find a Bohemian blue cut to clear vase for less than 25 dollars! It is the center of my collection! You should try and visit there!
