Love your energy! How did you come up with the name The Shabby Tree?
The Shabby Tree does such an amazing job! Ya’ll are great!❤️🌲
This was a great idea! It might seem dumb but I do have a question. I love timer candles, but the batteries don’t last forever. When you have to change the batteries, do you have to reset the timer or will it just remember the previous setting? I like to have certain groups of candles come on together.
You will have to reset your timer.
I love the Shabby Tree and all your amazing craft ideas. How do you come up with so many different ideas all the time? The fact you can be so enthusiastic, answer questions and do a craft at the same time amazes me.
Barb,
Do you still accept handmade ornaments from us, to put on your Christmas tree???
I enjoy watching you craft daily and the Friday Night Hangout. I have also purchased some items from the boutique.
I like that you carry the plus size in as many items you do without a different price.
What rotating stand do you use for your Christmas tree? 🎄❤️💚
I watched for about four years so I knew the answers to most of the questions but good for the new comers. Love your clothing!
Wh A Fantastic Idea Barb. You always come up with all the best ways to help your followers out in any way possible. Thank you for Being The Best ❤️❤️❤️
I never seem to get the Wacky Wednesday deals and when I try to order something it’s out of stock. I try to get online as early as I can. Is there a delay as to when I see you on FB prehaps?
I don’t have any questions really, but I do see people ask where you get your skinny tree all the time!
I have two questions but don’t know they are the type to ask;
1) Is there a way some consideration can be given in updating the boutique site to combine like items so they aren’t repeated.It would free up space and take less time to view all your product?
2) In the future will we be able to leave a review so when others go to order they can see the posting?
Thanks and all of Shabby Tree does a Great job!❤️❤️🌲
This is really more of a request, than a question. I love watching all the crafting videos, but the items are usually shown real quickly up to the camera and you can’t also read or see what is shown. Could we just see the things up close for a few more seconds. Love The Shabby Tree always!!
Hi Barb! Can you tell me what type of Christmas string lights I can use to make the cardboard tinsel tree you made a few years back? I can’t find the one you used….
Odd question…why don’t florals ship in plastic like what they are in when you open them new to craft? I get crinkle paper everywhere when I have to pick all the paper out of every leaf! 😆🤣😆
What are the shoes that Barb wore during the Waco meet and greet? She said they are the best all day shoes ever! I got the Hey Dudes – which are great but what Barb would like to try the shoes Barb LOVES that she wore during the Waco meet and greet. Thanks!
What is Barb’s hands down favorite holiday to be creative with and decorate?
Barb,What is your mom and dads names? What kind of hair product does Barb use?
messick264@gmail.com
Janet…Barb’s Mom’s name is Barbara, and her Dad’s is Peter.
Where does Barb buy all her lace trims and ribbons that she uses on all her beautiful Angels that she makes?
I do know her mom is Barb and dad is Peter
Barb, nearly everyday some asks why you don’t mention your sisters,and parents. I have been following forever and I know that your sisters have their own pages and you do talk about your parents when you have something important to say. But for the sake of my sanity would you address this. If not just say it was asked and you don’t feel the need to respond. Thanks
Barb, I had a question that I don’t think is asked every day but I would like to know how long Mr. Wally and you have been married for and how old was you when you had your kids if you don’t wanna answer that’s OK just curious l love all of you thank you for Tree Shabby Tree
How do you keep the dust off all your trees and florals. Or any good ideas, we have a dog that brings in a lot of dust.
Plus size ladies have difficulty with clothing in the upper arms and waist. Her chart helps with the measurement of clothing. It is difficult with vendors sizing because the plus sizes can run smaller than the original plus size. Thank you Joy for always measuring. I passed on several plus sizes items because of bust size measurements.
Have you ever shown your Mom and Dad live when you visit them in PA? I would enjoy meeting them.
I have know questions. But I do love this idea. ❤️
How do
I find the blogs?
Love how we have all the links together now
Thank you for being you
Glad to see all the links are user friendly. Would like to know what are Barb’s hair products?
Hi I’m not sure if my question went thru earlier—Barb, do you still frequent the thrift shops? I miss seeing your creativity at work with the silver items and other second hand purchases. Times are tough so this would help budget conscious folks. I miss the days of going to Goodwill live. (I have better luck at our St. Vincent de Paul tho)
Keep on being a light to so many!!🌲
I have never heard you speak of siblings??? Are you an only child???
My questions on your live never get seen or answered, is there a trick to being seen. I’m seriously addicted to watching every day! I start my day with you and end my day with you and prayers!!! 💖
Where is your antique booth located?
It is in Dalonaga (spelling?) and she is closing it soon
How do I get to the page where others post their crafts to the Shabby Tree

Lovee you Barb & THE SHABBY TREE 🌳 FAMILY!
Just thought I would also ask on here as well as your page but what pair of twinkle lights are your favorite? and ive also wondered if you can use a regular iron for modpodged prints and what have you? Thanks in advance.
Do you have discounts codes on the Totally Dazzled and European Excellency sites?
