1. yay im th e1st comment.. the one thing i like about fall is there weather change. thanks for a chance to win..

2. Fall is my all time favorite season because of so many reasons! I love the cooler weather, the leaves changing, and all of the awesome fall decor (pumpkins, gourds, corn, etc)!

3. I didn’t realize there were actually so many different varieties of cuttlebug folders. I have used these flowers in the paxst and they are soooo pretty. I am really looking forward vto this fall because my husband coms home after being gone since dec 12th last yr. One of the things I had seen and I’d like to see if someone else had done is using I think its like gitter to make simple leaves more festive.

4. I tried clicking the links above and get a page error with everyone 🙁

5. Hey, it’s Janis – your fellow blog hopper. I just wanted to pop by everyone else’s blog and see what they made for the hop. I am so glad to have found your site. You are hilarious! I love it!! You could probably do a video on how to make childhood mudpies and I would enjoy it just as much. Love the hurricane lamp idea. Cheap. Cool. Versatile. YOU TOCK!! Hope you get lots of visitors today! 🙂 Janis

6. My Daughter is getting married in June, I am so glad that I did this hop this morning because I am going to make these for her table settings. We are on a budget and this is gonna help and be very pretty and they won’t even know I made them. I think I will put flowers and gems in them, I will have to send you a pic of what I come up with,,, THANK YOU so much for the great idea,…….

7. I almost forgot, where did you get the glue ?

   1. Hey Kelgentry,
      When I first tried to find that glue (last year) everyone kept telling me I’d find it in my local craft stores. Well, I couldn’t find it anywhere. Finally, I went with a different glue (which didn’t work). Right after I bought that other glue I started seeing E-6000 everywhere. Once I saw it at the checkout at Walmart! They DO sell it in most craft stores, but Hobby Lobby only had a tiny bottle of it. For the size like I bought try Michael’s first. 😉
      Here’s a some info that Micheal’s has posted about it. E-6000 Michael’s Info.
      I hope you find it easily! 😀 (Remember to look in the checkout areas.)

   1. Thanks Vicky! 😀

10. I watched your video on you-tube this morning. I really like this idea, will have to try. Thanks for a chance to win your blog candy.

11. I really like your idea. Good thinking. I will have to try it out. Thanks.

    1. Thanks Msquared! 🙂

12. fall here in Kentucky means the trees changing colors and cool crisp weather. today the sky is almost purple and not a cloud in sight. absolutely breath taking. Gods glory abounds in the season changes.

13. I love the crisp air! To be able to go outside and not sweat as soon as you walk outside. The sight of the trees getting ready to sleep for the winter.

14. Love the video..tell me how long did it take for the lamps to glue together? I can’t wait to try that! Awesome blog hop thanks for your awesome video…I enjoyed it so much

    1. Roxx.T,
       It only took about 20 minutes or less for me to be able to flip the lamps over (without me worrying). It says it takes 48 hours for a permanent bond, but I bet you could be using them a lot sooner than that. I’m glad you liked the video! 😀 Thank you for watching!

15. I love Fall for all the beautiful colors her in New England!! I also love the cool, crisp air and the way it smells mixed in with the smell of smoke from peoples fireplaces. Fall is my favorite season ’cause of all the breath taking sights we are blessed with!!

16. Great idea. Now all I have to do is find that glue. Thank for the idea!

    1. Toni,
       Take a look at Michael’s for the glue. 😉 Also, look at Walmart. I’ve even seen it at the checkout area.
       ~Joy~

17. My favorite thing about fall is the cooler weather!! Especially being from Canada and now living in North Carolina!! Unfortunately we don’t get the leaves changing color down here, and I really miss that. 🙁 Still LOVING your videos!!!

18. Fun & thrifty project. Fall is my favorite — cooler, cozy sweaters, fires, baking, lovely leaves and mums… We’ve got a great harvest of mini pumpkins to play with this year. Thanks!

19. hi Joy! always love your videos. This is a great idea! If you don’t mind I’d like to steal this idea from you in the next few days and post it on my blog…I’ll give you credit for it. 🙂 Thanks so much for the blog candy too. Its awesome!

20. I enjoy the color changes and relief from the heat during the fall.

21. Joy, you are a treasure trove of information. Of course, I think I say that on every one of my comments on your blog, lol! I truly appreciate the videos you do showing how to use different products, and the fact that you really put yourself out there when you try out these things! Anyway, besides the fall colors being one of my all time favorite things about fall, I also love the autumn fragrances – cinnamon pumpkin and spices!

    1. Clepatb,
       Thank you so much! That is so nice. 🙂
       Ahhhh…autumn fragrances. I’m with you on that whole cinnamon pumpkin and spices!! 😀

27. Awesome. I have done this with the candle stick and a clear glass plate to make a cake stand. Love my E6000. Thanks for a great bloghop.

    1. Burffrau,
       Right after I did this with the hurricane lamps I started thinking what a great idea making your own cake stands would be…and look! You’ve already done it! 🙂 That’s cool!
       ~Joy~

28. Oh Joy, there is nothing I really like about fall, because it means winter is just around the corner and let me tell you, it is coming pretty fast here in Canada. You should see the frost on the ground this morning. Thanks for the chance at the blog candy.

29. Another AWESOME project!!! I love the $$$$ Tree finds!! I told you that you’d love UnDo!! That stuff rocks!!! Fall means—yet more pine straw falling!!! YAH!!!

30. What a great, inexpensive idea, especially if you need party favors. Thanks for the video

31. Joy I love your site! I love candy corn and pumpkins. And I love squishing leaves. I love Autumn. Everything about it really.
    Hugs,
    Raven

32. Totally love the lamps! I need to go to the dollar store… or maybe a second hand store. You can always find cool vintage ones there. It would be great with a small plate too! That glue is soooo amazing. I used it to glue my husbands mirror back on his vehicle. 3 years and still up! And it is the outside passenger side too! Thanks for your great videos and blog!

33. whew….just finished hopping through everyone’s blogs!! So glad I was already a part of your blog so that I knew this was going on this morning!! Now that I’ve spent over 2 hours looking at some GREAT projects (sometimes I got sidetracked looking at EVERYTHING on everyone’s site!!) I must get to housework! But only so that I can go and craft later.
    Thanks Joy!!!

37. Well, we don’t really have Fall around these parts (Florida) til about Christmas time, but I love the idea of Fall, or at least what I remember of it, lol.
    I lived in Michigan for 7 years and loved Fall..the leaves, the crisp, cool air. That has to be my favorite part.
    I also want to say I love your project. It was a wonderful way to end what has been a really fun blog hop…Thank You!

    1. Thank you firelass! 😀 I appreciate it!
       ~Joy~

38. My fav part about fall is pumpkins because I love to eat toasted pumpkin seeds. I have even been known to get a pumpkin just for the seeds and throw the rest away….I know, so bad! Thanks Joy!

    1. Nullar Eden! At least carve the pumpkin! 😉 LOL…well, it’s not really THAT bad! 😀
       ~Joy~

    1. Thank you Bonnie! 😀 How can it be called the Dollar Tree when it costs so much every time I go? LOL!
       ~Joy~

43. ANother great video! Ooohhh, my favorite part of fall is the leaves. We live in Iowa so the leaves change to beautiful colors and fall to the ground and then my husband and I walk in the evenings, I love to walk thru the leaves and hear them crunch underneath. My husband thinks I’m a big kid making so much noise.
    Thanks for the chance to win.

44. I really love your videos! You make things so simple I’m not afraid to try. I love the air in the fall. It feels magical some way!

45. SUPER MS. JOY….I LOVE THIS IDEA….WHERE DID YOU GET THE GLUE?? THANKS!!

    1. Melissa,
       It can be hard to find. When I first went searching for it I thought I would go CRAZY! I ended up buying a different kind of glue thinking it wouldn’t matter what I used. I was WRONG. After I bought the wrong glue, I started seeing the E-6000 everywhere. Currently, you should be able to find it full sized at Michael’s. I’ve seen it at Hobby Lobby, but they only had the small size and it was packaged with another kind of glue. I’ve also seen it in the checkout aisle at Walmart.
       Here’s a link to a small tube of it on Amazon. 😉
