Totes without lids and lids without totes is like the missing sock basket. What on earth happened to them…🤣? You have quite a collection of Christmas. I’m super excited to watch you create. That’s one of my favorite things to watch you assemble your little vignettes. You’re very organized and the clear totes with the attached lids is a great idea. ♥️💚♥️💚
My old boss from the pub I used to work at had a Christmas village display she set out every year. Since she's passed away our local chamber office still puts it in thier window every year. Such a treasure to have. It's going to be fun seeing what you're going to do with your Christmas hoard! So excited!! 😊
I just love you and your husband. Your videos are so informative, great ideas, excellent refurbishing of used items and generally a “joy” to watch. Every night before I turn in I check and see what you’re up too? Thank you for being so enthusiastic, funny and authentic. You have a real gift my friend❤. Hugs Jeri from Olalla Washington.
My goodness you have a lot of Christmas stuff Yvonne! Can't wait to see what you do with it. Chris is so funny. He is a great guy for helping you. Be well. Hugs. 🤗
Oh my goodness you have a wealth of beautiful vintage and nostalgic Christmas items. How fun it was to watch you organize. I wish I was there to help you😅 congratulations again
I love the way you create little displays for Christmas. I wondered last year how you came up with all the bits and pieces. Now, after seeing your stash I have a better understanding of how much it actually takes to create all the cute things you do for Christmas. ❤
I'm a organizer, seems like my brain functions better that way. I watch countless creators and so far your vignettes always outshine the others 😊 Chris had the right idea at the end of the first day 🍺 cheers to another great day. You two are are so good together ❤
Yes I have the same lots of Lisa with no boxes 🤷♂️ you do have some kinda collection for sure . I love those boxes with the built in lids I have a few and the idea being able to see what you have is wonderful too. Can’t wait to see you put your little together in vinettes❤
My favorite quote, “Did you ever stop to think and then forget to start again.” When I was working I would always stop to think and then forget what I was thinking. 😂 Love today’s episode because I am also going through my things. We moved to Pittsburgh a year ago and yesterday finally I was able to rent a booth in a vintage , thrift store. I am so excited. Hope it goes well, my husband is more excited because he gets his garage back. 🤣
Great job Yvonne on organizing your Xmas crafting supplies. It's a lot of work but, rewarding once finished. I've been reorganizing my garage and replacing the boxes & gray totes with clear totes w/attached lids (at Walmart). Big difference! Looking fwd to watching you make your magic! Blessings from Chris in Springfield. 🙏💙
All organized and ready to go. Let the Christmas crafting begin! I have a large clear apothecary jar that I will fill with multicolored Christmas lights this year. Thanks for the inspiration. Chris is just as comfortable in front of the camera as you are now. Nice to see the how well the two of you work together.
Chris has such a wonderful dry humor. I was sitting here lusting after all the vintage Christmas pieces. Be still my heart. Love them. It’s amazing how much you have bought. 😊❤
Santa called....he needs the bendable elves and the reindeer to report to the North Pole ASAP. Rockefeller Center called and they need bulbs and ornaments back to decorate their tree!!😅 Oh my Yvonne, you certainly have lots of stuff. Have fun with it this year.
The bottle brush trees, the deer, the paper mache boots! OMG! I want one! I want to be your bestie & we could share our stashes, but mostly you would give me stuff!! Ha ha ha ha!!!
This was very helpful because I have a much smaller collection of vintage items. This will help me organize in preparation to craft. I also needed the demonstration on restoration of bottle brush trees. Thank you.
Oh my Yvonne,what a treasure trove 🤗 I feel like a little child again,so excited,expectant and nostalgic seeing all your beautiful Christmas goodies being unveiled.I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed a vlog more ☺️ Chris’s face when tackling the ‘couple of boxes’ is priceless 😂 and yes bottomless tops are a real thing - I thought it was only me who had them 🤣 What a wonderful way to light the spark of festive magic and excitement.I can’t wait to see all the wonders you’ll create for everyone to enjoy over the coming weeks ⭐️
I’m starting going through my Christmas tomorrow! I put together metal shelves today all day to day and my back has said stop 🛑 now!!! I have 24 totes arriving tomorrow so great minds think alike!!! I do mine for decorating my house. I usually do 4 rooms plus a little in bathrooms! I do colors instead of themes!! I’m excited to get started!!! Can’t wait to watch your videos
Having the tub lids and no tub is like losing yout socks in the dryer. It is a real mystery of life. Love your boxes of stash! So jealous Can not wait to see you start doing your assemblages for Xmas!
Well, I started watching the video at 9:00am. Had a doctors appt. at 11:20 got home watched a little more. Went n picked up debris in yard left from Milton another doctors appt. at 2:15pm came home did some cleaning up in yard. Had to take care of my fur baby, all fed n walked n finally sitting down to finish watching your video. You know Yvonne you never have enough Christmas bulbs, bottle brush trees n bending knees dolls. You have me excited to see what your new ideas you have in your secret book. I just wish I could be more enthusiastic in getting ready for Christmas. I kinda lost the desire to do much for the holidays. After losing one son to auto accident n a husband almost 3 years ago it’s hard to get that feeling back again. This year I’m gonna try to put a tree up n hopefully after watching you do your thing for Christmas I’ll get some of that enthusiasm back again. I apologize for such a long comment. There’s times I get carried away n this was one of those times. I just love watching you n Chris. You guys really make my day. God bless you both my friends. ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍👍🌟🐈⬛🐈⬛
You’ve found so many ‘ingredients’ for your vignettes. Can’t wait to see what you create and how cute your cubbies and shelves will be this holiday season. have you ever thought of hosting a ‘make a Christmas vignette with Ginger Chick Rehab’ workshop with all of your items? You’d sell out in minutes PS- I sent you the little song books that you used in your cubby . So happy that something saved from the Goodwill bins found such a beautiful home!
You sparked my interest, what on earth are you going to make with all those bulbs??? it is great to have it organized so when you start to create all those Christmas goodies, it will go much more smoothly. I can't wait 🌲🌲
Wow that's alot of christmas,what a great video. Id like to know where you get all your energy. I cant wait for you to start creating, im so excited. Thank you
My husband is a farmer here in PA that is exactly what he's beening doing this week. I just had the same thing going through my attic this week lots of tops that went in recycling. It's a mystery.
I love the idea of your folder of Christmas crafts so inspiring,I think all year like you but I never document and when it comes time to create I get lost for inspiration ❤😊great idea thank you so much love the organizing also 😊
The big trees look great on the fireplace mantle ❤I got to get organized I’m doing it this winter it’s the goal..thanks for making this content I needed that push!❤
You are so much fun ❤. Thank you for sharing your "therapy shopping" 😉 this gal is learning so much and what to look for to add to my home decor antique collections. So excited to see what you will create for Christmas. Keep doing you 😊 you're so talented
I really enjoyed this video! Ihad just spent time a couple of weeks ago organizing the items I still need to sell on eBay and etsy! I don't have any where near the amount as you do, but organization is the key to a happy mindset.😊 Gotta love computer paper boxes and clear totes!! 🐺Tater...what a rascal!😅
Yvonne, I wish I could buy all those bottlebrush trees you were selling (I'd give you more than a couple of dollars a piece), if I wasn't in Australia!!
Don’t forget Chris…some items take up more space in those totes, therefore Yvonne doesn’t have ‘that’ much!🤣😂🤣😂 Sooo satisfying to have everything in its own box, definitely easier to spy through the box for items you’re looking to use in your projects! Can’t wait for the creativity to start flowing!!❤❤🎅🏼🎅🏼🎄🎄
Yvonne, my husband and I have been married for 34 years. We love Christmas and someday we have to go through ALL of the 32 totes we have! BTW that doesn’t include all the boxes that have accumulated!!!
