Your gnome is adorable. I absolutely love him. My favorite paints to use are anything from the Waverly Chalk paints. I am so totally addicted to the candy cane look this season so there are red and white stripes on everything lol.
I love to do crafts, that doesn't always turn out the way I imagined. I love painting with chalk paint.. I'm painting a red jar as I'm watching you. You are the ABSOLUTELY amazing lady. I just heard you was asking for pray requests. Lord, my heart was so full when you said that. I'm 55 and have way, way to many health issues for my age . My husband is fixing to turn 75 on the 29th. Lord we surely could use all the prayers we could use. ...you never know when its going to be your last day , hour last Thanksgiving or Christmas. But I love you & your channel so, so much. Thank God for praying people. Thank you from the bottom of my & his heart. Cant wait till the next video. You truly pour your heart & soul & mind into your projects. 💛🌻
I'm just beginning to get back into crafting after about a 30 year hiatus. I love boho, mostly, but I love the way you incorporate romance and a bit of Victorian mixed together...love Waverly, and find most of it at my local Walmart, as they still have lots of stock paint...I loved apple barrel yrs ago, and have been reacquainting myself w it. I am doing Christmas crafts, including sewing for each of my family members...trying to make each of their gifts unique to each one...I love watching your videos...I work night shift in a hospital lab...if you want to give something to ur prayer group, pray for the victims of covid..I can't decide on a fav one, but I loved the placemat idea...that was brilliant...hugs Olivia.
Terri Covington. Covid has hit our family hard. We have already had one funeral and praying we don’t have another. I continually pray for people all over the world who have Covid in and out of the hospitals. I will be praying in the name of Jesus 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Oh how cute everything is. I love the gingerbread theme and brought me some of the house cutouts to paint this year. I love chalk paint but have a box full of acrylics also. Always praying for everyone near and far. So much unhappiness in the world but watching you is full of joy. have a great day, Olivia, from Mrs. Jim.🎄🎀🎄💜💗
I like to use puff paint with the wooden pieces. Pray for our missionaries around the world, our leaders and our military people. Thanks! May Jesus continue to bless you and your family
I like spray paint when I can. It’s fast and I can paint the details by hand. I love the large sign and the all the gingerbread themed crafts. Thank you for the inspiration, Olivia!
Because of you I am learning to love to craft. My favorite part is painting the Buffalo check black and white. Thank you for making these simple crafts.
So many Christmas ideas. My dad died in February and his favorite holiday was Christmas. Santa’s galore. Will be hard. Will put the things him & my mom made. Blessings to all
I love gingerbread theme things they are so cute! I haven't ever painted before but I've been super inspired to try lately with all the Christmas DIYs!!
My son would love that gnome painted with the black and white checked hat.. he is a avid dirt track racer since he was 12 he is now 30 he's won many first place trophies in our area but the main thing is he has a passion for it and it makes him happy especially when that checkered flag is waving in front of him bringing him into first place LOL he ended up marrying a beautiful young woman who has just as much love for the racing sport as he does and then they had their precious baby boy who is now 10 and that baby was born with racing in his blood LOL this would be a perfect little pre holiday gift to them to place in their home at Christmas, they would absolutely love this gnome you have painted here, so I think I'm gonna try the same with a couple gnomes for their home . They actually just bought their first home together this year ..I made them a black and white checked wreath with their initial in the center this past summer and they loved it..it was an original for sure lbut they loved it..hanging it on their front door now..i made it out of the checkered steering wheel cover at Dollar Tree lol .but it turned out perfect ..at least they liked it LOL but they would really like this gnome too, they love Christmas decor as much as I do and would find it very whimsical and cute . I think I'm going to see if I can find in at my local DT and pick up a couple I'm going to make one a boy and want a girl but both will have this black checkers hat on them and then I'm going to have to find a baby one to do for the grandson, the ideas are flow unless Olivia thank you very much pursuing this I appreciate it so much ♥️♥️
I love your ideas so with that in mind I'm considering a "glam" plaid theme for my knomes in pink,silver and gold. Thanks for your inspiration and sharing your ideas!
YES, IM trying to "mix glam with my shabby chic, and gingerbread". Its not as hard as I thought it would be! Hey, " it's your space, do what makes you happy
I am so thrilled that you are doing Gingerbread this year!! My favorite craft you did today was the Gingerbread Man!! He was almost as awesome as you are Olivia! Love you!
Yay! I love the gingerbread brown craft paint! I love the peppermints from Hobby Lobby...just a brilliant idea to have in your craft supply....so many possibilities! The ideas are dancing in my head like sugar plums. Thank you for your joyful presence! You are a blessing and shine brightly!
Everything is so pretty💗 .....especially the gnome sign. When I do paint my craft projects I use Apple Barrel paints. I also use Rustoleum spray paints.
I love all of theses. My favorite paint is Waverly paint. Just Christmas shopping right now. Thank you for sharing all your sweetness and kindness. Have a beautiful and blessed week.🎅🤶❤️🎄🙏
I love all candy themed Christmas decor. I decorate my kitchen to look like Mrs. Claus' kitchen at the North Pole (or what I think its would look like) I use puff paint when making mine.
I love you and your channel ❤ I am praying for you and your family to be well and happy. Thank you for being you and for your inspiration . Your channel lifts me up and calms me too. God bless you and all who read.
I have seen so many cute gingerbread things lately that I have decided to join the gingerbread club in my kitchen. I have seen some things in the turquoise and pink colors and I think that would be so cute with the black and white checks! Thanks for the inspiration! Everyone remember that Jesus is the reason for the Season!🙏❤️
Thank you for offering prayers I know they work I also know that I live by walking with God daily without him we’re nothing I also want to say thank you for your beautiful artwork you do an amazing job
I usually paint my Christmas wood cut outs with traditional colors, but I love the black and white checks! I've seen people make the Buffalo check which I love but I haven't tried it yet. Love those gingerbread man eyes! I'm currently crocheting little trinket bags for my Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes.
@@FlaKNMB bead necklace, barretts, hair ties, silicone bracelets.. small things like that...they were originally going to be for marbles for the boys but my sister said they were too pretty, so I purchased some small cloth bags for the marbles.
I just love the more traditional Christmas decor. Your crafts are always so beautiful. And you are a true artist. When it comes to painting projects, you are amazing.
Oliva, I love watching your videos! You have completely inspired me to craft. Not only are you great at what you do, but you are soooo sweet and beautiful inside and out! Thank you for sharing yourself with all of us.
I was always too nervous to paint the wooden cut outs, because I didn't have an idea of what I wanted them to look like. Then came along YOU who inspired me to give it a try! I have the gingerbread guys and houses that I painted traditionally. I too will have a gingerbread tree so I am super excited about these gingerbread cut outs. I added caulking to make it look like icing. Apple Barrel paints have been my go to paint. I also mod poged them and added fine white glitter to make it look sugar coated. Now I want to go back for the gnome wooden cut outs. I have also visited Hobby Lobby for stuffed gingerbread plushies to add to my tree because of your inspiration! God bless you!!!
My favorite was the gingerbread man you made. When I craft I like the chalk paint due to the coverage. I think any design you free form make the project look more personalized. Have a great day!
I love peppermint painted items and the gingerbread decorating. The buffalo check is really popular at the moment so I like that too. So many decisions.......
👀 Those "Turkey Eyes", from last year, still haunts me!!!! 🦃 I am kidding! 💝. I don't know if Olivia will laugh or feel bad? 🤗 Hope she laughs!!!! It was said with much affection! 🎨. MAYBE SHE'LL LET ME KNOW IF SHE LAUGHED OR NOT?? 🖌✂🐕
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your channel! I was widowed at 48 and your videos create a calm, loving and creative morning for me. You have taught me to be "forgiving" on my projects. Thank you! I use Apple Barrel paint and chalk paint from Waverly.
Been binge watching your videos, love ❤️ them, thank you for the inspiration. I’m working on candy crafts for my gingerbread kitchen. I would love a prayer for my sister she needs to find a place to live. She has her 3 grandkids to raise she is having a really rough time at 61 years old. All prayers are appreciated. I loved the gingerbread man. Oh, and I just love to walk around in hobby lobby
Gingerbread seems to be the theme of the year! Love the houses from Dollar Tree. Haven't started painting yet but but going with traditional colors . . . and lots of embellishment's. Thank you for prayer requests . . .
I love the little gnome he turned out adorable. I am definitely not a painter but I love using the antique wax on the wood cutouts for a nice rustic feel!
I love your channel and I love to do crafts, but I haven’t had a lot of time to do them until now. I’m excited about getting into painting more crafts. I haven’t really had a lot of experience with the paint but I usually buy the little acrylic bottles from Walmart. My girls get into my paints all the time, so I try to restock when I see tubes of paint in the dollar tree. I’m also excited about making some DIY chalk paint I saw on a video. I can’t wait to paint some gingerbread houses with my kids. I hope I can use crafting as a stress reliever for us as we’re dealing with a divorce right now. It might end up being more stress for me. LOL. We’ll see. Thanks for all of your wonderful ideas! Thanks for mentioning the prayer request too. That’s so wonderful of you to do that!
I'm always so impressed with all the details of your videos. You coordinate literally everything in your staging, table cover and your outfit. Love it!
My favorites are the gingerbread man and the house! So adorable!! And you did an awesome job on his face! His personality shines through his eyes!! My paint choices are waverly, folkart, and apple barrel. TFS!! 🎅🌲⛄💕
Praise the Lord Olivia! 🙌🙏🙌 All your DIY'S are beautiful and I am kinda new seeing you here on RU-vid. You inspire me to do these DIY'S. I like to start my Christmas shopping in January, but haven't been able to these past 2 years. But with God's help I will do some cute DIY'S for my family this year. I will be praying 🙏for you and please pray 🙏for me. God bless! 🙌🙏🙌👍❣
So many darling ideas for gingerbread decor! I think my favorite today is the gingerbread man, you gave him so much personality. He is absolutely adorable! Thank you for sharing your ideas and talents. My sister will be getting a new gingerbread for her Christmas kitchen
I love all things Christmas! The last few years I have been really liking non traditional colors and I love to paint polka dots on my projects. I love all of your "ginger snappy" crafts!
I love all of your DIY’s. I have been a subscriber for quite a few years now and zi may not always comment but please know your channel brings me such happiness. Please pray for me and my husband, his job cut his hours drastically and the stress we are feeling is almost unbearable!! Thank you to anyone who sends us thoughts and prayers ❤️
Good morning Olivia. I adore your ideas and the little gnomes. You inspire me with your techniques with painting. So I can call my technique the Olivia technique.
Oh Olivia I loved this video! Especially the gingerbread man and the matching gingerbread house! I absolutely love painting with Debbi’s Design Diary chalk paint. I’m not always able to buy it so next in line is my Waverly chalk paint, then last but not least is my apple barrel acrylic paint. I have not been able to find any wooden cut out signs at any of my dollar tree stores. Please pray for me that I can teach my autistic granddaughter about Jesus in a way that she can understand.
@Kimberly Stutler I pray you will be still and know that He is God confiding that Jesus will guide you and open her heart to receive, as you teach your granddaughter about His love. In Jesus' name. ❤
I'm delighted that you are doing a gingerbread theme this year. I have been decorating my kitchen with candies and gingerbread for the holidays for the past few years and I love all the new ideas you are sharing. Thank you!
I like the idea of whimsical with fun bold colors on my gnomes. I enjoy using chalk paint because it covers so well on many surfaces. And Olivia the Mackenzie Child dupes you do are fantastic! Blessings prayer is also my strength.
I always seem to paint more traditional, with traditional colors. I especially like my Christmas decorations The traditional red, green, gold, silver, & of course sparkles✨
I'm "trying to do gingerbread this year too"! Its so whimsical, magical, takes you back to "Candyland" days!!!!! "Pretty expensive", even on "online thrift stores"!!
You did it again I love everything you made today and they are all just so cute and so fun to make as far as paint is concerned I am a plaid Ambassador and I love all the Plaid family products Apple Barrel and folk art paint and of course Mod Podge is a staple I always have to have handy in my craft room many blessings to you
It's always such a joy to watch your videos, Olivia. Today, I was mesmerized by your gorgeous eyes. I could barely focus on your tutorials. My favorite DIY in this video is the gnome you painted. The MC check is a wonderful surprise on his hat. Well, not a surprise coming from you as I know you love her work. But something unexpected for a gnome's hat.
I love the knome sign. Fantastic !! You do awesome with your crafts. They look like expensive items. I love that you do this for us. It makes it so I can decorate on a budget and even make some decorations for my grandchildren too !!
I like to paint with chalk paint .I think it comes out so much smoother. I also love to paint in pastel colors they are so soft and bright and just make me happy.
Benji Bear, is to cute. I love how you Gingerbread items turned out. As Kelly Barlow, would say the more imperfect something looks sometimes, the more perfect it looks. I love all the painted pieces. Thanks Oliva
I really like how you incorporated the candy mints in your designs. For sure I will be doing that. Thank you for posting Christmas diy’s early, it really inspires me.
I am in charge of our women's ministry at church and I've used your ideas so often to craft with the ladies. Love your gnome idea and will use it next with the ladies. The topiary with the bathroom plunger was a hit at our last meeting. Our prayers are with the kidnapped missionaries in Haiti so I'm asking you to pray for them too.
My favorite craft in this video was the gnome you painted. So cute!! My favorite paint is probably Apple Barrel in all colors, I do love folkart Chalk paint as well. Thank you Olivia!!
Love the gingerbread theme. So sweet and fun. Like using the Waverly and also Apple Barrel paints . My prayer request is definitely for our nation. We are fast becoming a nation where we are loosing our freedoms. God please revive our nation and give us leaders who follow Christ and are not ashamed to call on Him. God please bless this nation again. That’s my prayer
I like using left over paint that my customers don’t want. Sherman Williams, bear, Benjamin Moore. I decorate and traditional Christmas theme. My 6 year daughter and I watch your videos all the time while we craft together. Thank you for all the cute ideas
I love painting the wooden cutouts. At 75 my hand is not too steady but as you say I give myself grace and enjoy it anyway. I usually use chalk paint. Love your ideas today.
Good morning Olivia As always everything turned out fabulous! Love the cut outs! I haven't seen them yet at my dt's around me...but I'll be watching and waiting for them. My grand babies just have to go to dollar tree at least once a weekend and man can they fill a cart quick. Any time I get into a dt by my self I still shop for them to. I say I only need this but come out with all that to. Around here we use a lot of whoops paint. My 6 yr old grand daughter loves to go to the home depot just to look at the As she calls it "oh no" paint. We also use apple barrel and Waverly. I also make my own chalk paint so much cheaper than store bought. I also take any leftover house paint given to me and put in Mason jars to take up less space. As always thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas with the world. Have a fabulous week! Take care. Blessings ♥️🙏☃️❄🎄🐕🙏♥️
Benji bear is my favorite gingerbread boy! I looked in the wrong section of Hobby Lobby for the peppermint decor. Now I’ll know where to look. Thanks, Olivia! Everything you do is so cute!
My favorite paints to use are traditional colors, so oranges and browns for fall and red and green for Christmas. I love all your painting. I think you are very talented. I can't imagine that you make any mistakes.
I too like to decorate everything that doesn't move in my home. It's really hard to decorate Dollar Tree, because my Dollar tree sucks pond water. It's dirty unorganized and boxes and boxes and boxes everywhere but nothing on shelves. I love the gnome he's darling I wish we had them the gingerbread man is cute as well. I used to decorate with gingerbread and all things cookies and gingerbread in my kitchen area when I had children at home. I'm assumed to be going into a house about your size Olivia, so I'm really trying to downsize all of my holiday decorations it's very difficult because I love to decorate for the holidays. Happy crafting!
Your gingerbread man looks great..your eyes look amazing! Your buffalo check gnome hat looks awesome...you paint so well! Your gnome looks amazing! I love using Chalk paint...it dries fast! 😁 I usually us solid patterns. 😊 I'm working on Fall & Christmas diys! I rely on GOD too, he is such a blessing! 🙏 Benj Bear is so sweet! As always, thank you for sharing your creativity, talent and inspiration! Stay safe, healthy and positive! God bless you and your family! 🙏❤🇺🇸😊🌲
Our dollar trees are very slow in stocking the Christmas decor/ crafts. Getting so many great ideas here! Praying for whoever is reading this and, just know all will be well! Bless us all🙏
Hi, I love the gnomes... Gnomes & snowflakes are my themes for this year. I really like using my Waverly Chalk paints... Thank you for all that you do...💙💜💙
I love the gnome with the black and white hat! I love using apple barrel paint! I used puff paint on the two Christmas wooden plaques I did and I used paint and waverly antique wax on the Easter baskets earlier this year!
Good Morning, Olivia! Excited to see your ideas!🎄❄️ I just use apple barrel or folk art paints. I like the makenzie child’s inspired patterns as well. Adorable little gnome! I also like a whimsical look. Pray for our country and for myself a job. To have open doors to where the Lord wants me to be. Have a blessed day Olivia.
Dear Olivia, I use the wood paint kits with my 6 year old grandson Eli. He thinks he’s a true artist with his easel and everything 😂. We have a great time! I use any of the paints, Apple Barrel, Waverly, any of it; Eli and I are not picky. As far as prayer requests go, I’d appreciate prayers for me specifically, I have some health issues. My favorite DIY today was the Gingerbread man. I always look forward to your videos. God bless you! Sandi
@ Sandra Baker the Word of God teaches that He heals all of our diseases. I believe He does. Lord, I pray you would reach down from heaven and heal Sandra. In Jesus' name.
@@Marie-D. Thank you ever so much! I have brain tumors that are not malignant, but cause migraine headaches. I really appreciate all the prayers for healing!! Sandi
Working on Christmas. I would love prayer for the salvation on some family members. I miss your your home tours for the different seasons. They were so inspiring.
Hi Olivia>. I find it helpful to collect inspiration for diy's from different sources. people/artists are so creative and inspiring and its fun to create your own unique look w all the inspiration out there! for gingerbreads, I do like making different faces, but find I love giving them all big red noses! Also want to say- you are one the the sweetest, caring ,most authentic personalities here. Thanks for all you share!
Lately I’ve been making garlands using wood beads. It’s so much fun! I’m also gathering supplies for a few Christmas wreaths. I love the gnome wood cutout, so cute! 🎄💕
Last year I had the gingerbread theme for Christmas and wasn’t sure if I was going to do it again this year. After watching your video, I’m off to DT!😄 I just love the gingerbread theme. All your DIY’s are so adorable! TFS!
Good morning sweetie Gbu may this be a wonderful blessed day for and all of your subscribers God is good thank you for sharing this moments of grafting with us all 🥰
Hi Olivia!🙋♀️ I loved your gingerbread house, but your sweet painted gnome at the end stole my heart!💞 He turned out so cute with his somewhat flesh-colored nose!😄 I like to make my gingerbread characters look like real, decorated cookies.😊 Apple Barrel paints are my fave for most similar wood projects. They're easy to work with, affordable and offer an endless array of colors.🎨 Seeing my seemingly infinite collection makes me so happy!😁🌈 The footage of cuddly Benji-Bear was SO precious!😍 Seeing him just melts my heart, EVERY time! Happy crafting! Sending love and blessings! 😗🙏💗
