My dad was diagnosed with brain cancer this June and is currently dying. The way you love your parents, is the way I love mine. This has been incredibly heartbreaking to say the least.
I started a garden (inspired by you, of course) over a year ago. My landscape is lush and beautiful. My dad spent many hours in my yard talking about life and his love for his family. He was always impressed by all the things I built and grew. Your videos have peeled me off the floor many times and motivated me to continue working in my yard. Thank you for being a light during my darkest days 💜

I know I've become an official Garden Answer addict when I get up early on a Saturday morning with just one thought in mind - I'm off work today and I get to watch Laura first thing in the morning instead of late in the evening! Now that is getting your day started off right.

[demesrvl]

My dogs and I watch your videos every morning before we get out of bed. They are a fantastic, joyful way to start my day! 🤗
Somewhere along the line, my dogs have figured out that when Laura says, "see you in the next one", it's time to get up. They jump out of bed, shake, stretch, and I do, too!!! Thank you for your bright smile and positivity!

An hour for Laura is probably an all day project for me!

[aholeinthebucket]

Beautiful swag! I love how you used what you had. You make project easy and accessible for everyone. Did anyone else hear her say "rustle" and immediately think of Russell? 😺 He always seems to work his way into videos, even when he's not around. 😁

My mom & I watch everyday! We love your channel! It’s my daily motivator! Even though we are in Oklahoma and definitely not the same zone, I have learned so much! I’m also a therapist and have recommended your show to patients as a motivation and self care. Thank you for inviting us into your life each day! Thank you also for being such a positive, wholesome place for us in this busy, chaotic world!

Spray your berry branches with hairspray to make the berries more stable and less likely to drop off. Hairspray also keeps the evergreens from shedding. ☺️

love how pretty it is. You could tie some jungle bells on some skinny ribbon and hang it in the middle of the big ribbon and Benjamin would get to hear it when you open the door.

Those a so stinking cool and so not what I imagine at the beginning and easy enough even I could do it! My inner faery was crying a little though because there was no glitter ✨ on the pine cone 😂 .... the options with the basic structure are endless and you could do the same thing with all kinds materials for any season or holiday.. I just love 💕 it! Laura is so creative and comes up with ideas for us that are attainable and not complicated.

Waking up at 4 a.m. on a Saturday isn't fun. Fortunately, I have a new episode of Garden Answer to watch to distract me from my racing thoughts. Thank you for your delightful videos. They truly provide joy when I'm stressed.
The swag is lovely. I think I'll make one for my front door this year. 🙂

[anneandrews]

All my years and so many wreaths wags and garlands, I’ve never done with a single rope! Learn something new every day and they are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing! ❤️💚

[lucpar]

Your timing is perfect. My swags finally gave up the ghost and I had to toss them. I was pondering what to do. Now I know. Thanks for the inspiration!!!

[stephaniewarren]

Yep love the tapered structure of the swag on the French doors rather than a round wreath. It’s very pleasing to the eye.

[laraemitchell]

So pretty, and got my imagination going. So easy to take this idea and run with it, depending on what you have available. You could add different ornaments, bells, battery powered lights, etc. my mind is racing!! Thanks for that, Laura! I love what you do!!!💚💚💚❤️💚❤️

So beautiful. Thank you for this tutorial. I now know what to do with pine cones my 8 year old granddaughter and I collected on a nature walk last week. This will be a perfect project for us to do together during the holidays. I can prep everything, make it into a “kit” and it will be pure joy. I’ll sort our pine cones, and collect any additional cones needed. I will also precut the rope and wire, and make the bow. We will want to make two. One for my home, and one for her home. She will love presenting it to her Mom and Dad! We may add some candy canes and a small ornament. Other than gathering additional cones, I have everything needed on already on hand. Thanks again. We love your channel and watch all the time!

[maryannlammersen]

Thanks, Laura, for the instructions for a fun project. I set up to do this project for me and my daughter with pine scented candles, hot buttered rums and Celtic music! So fun!

Tip for all of you out there who have very sappy cones like I do. I pick the cones up from our white pine tree (with gloves to protect hands from sap that hardly wants to come off!) I place them on cookie sheets with thick layers of newspaper under the cones and place them in the oven for a couple of hours at the lowest oven temp- 200 degrees in mine. After a few hours the sap has coated the pine cones like shellac and the excess has dripped off into the newspaper. The cones are sticky no more and beautiful with a rich, slightly shiny glow.

[josephinesmith]

They look really good on the doors and a nice change from wreaths…well done Laura!

[debbenson]

If you have pine cones this is a wonderful way to utilize them. The swags turned out beautiful and they looked perfect on the doors!!! Maybe I'll go pine cone hunting today?! Have a wonderful day!!! Thanks!

[charlottepatterson]

Thank you for these. I have nearly driven myself crazy trying to do wreaths on a number of occasions. You are beautiful and smart and I wish you could give us the secret of your boundless energy! God bless you and your family this Christmas!

Laura, I would not be too concerned with the thumbs down as I click to check a commercial/ad to see it and as I came back to your, I noticed there was a black thumbs down. I had clicked the thumbs up so I changed it back. It must be a glitch. No one would give you all a thumbs down on purpose and there are way too many to legitimate. As always, this was informative and lovely.❣️😊💗❤️💕
