As we get ready to bid 2023 adieu, I'm already thinking about ways to save more in '24 (hey, that rhymes!). And that starts with the 5 things I always stock up on at Dollar Tree. First up is hand soap. If Covid taught us anything, it's to wash your hands. This Delta Soap comes in a generous-sized bottle, and its subtle scent is a family favorite.Banish B.O. at just $1.25 a pop. Dollar Tree...

Where've I been, you might be asking? It's just sooooo much easier to post on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter these days.In case you missed any of my Halloween DIYs, I'm sharing a few today in the hopes that I'll get back down to blogging.Halloween season was a blast this year. Not only did I volunteer to scare people at my friend's haunted house, I also had a ball DIYing and shopping for new Halloween decor.But...
Halloween crafting is in full swing over here. I've been working on everything from creepy doll heads to Halloween Christmas houses.But you probably already knew that if you follow me on Instagram,lol (@okiobdesigns).Now I haven't exactly started putting stuff out yet. I broke out the autumn decor and plan to pace myself over the next couple of weeks.Most of what I'm sharing was either made using items from the thrift store, Dollar Tree or items...
Sooooo, who else is starting Halloween projects?I'm in full Halloween mode over here. Most of what I'm using is either stuff I already have or items I picked up from Dollar Tree. I probably won't officially start decorating for a few more weeks. The struggle is real.Between now and then, I'll be trying out some new techniques and experimenting with a bunch of different ideas. As always, I will be keeping a budget in mind.Jeanine ...

Anyone else getting Anthropologie or Pottery Barn vibes from Dollar Tree's ceramic pumpkins this year? The quality is better than expected and the color choices are fabulous! I grabbed the last two teal ones from our local store.Jeanine ...
Have you seen these at your local Dollar Tree yet: ceramic faux Halloween books? If not, they are coming! I picked up three of them earlier this week, so I could turn them into...This!I had just enough black acrylic paint left (note to self: buy more black paint!) to do all three. Once they were dry, I dripped some red candle wax over them in random spots. Total: $3.75 plus tax.I can't wait to add...
Wishing everyone a happy and safe Independence Day!Jeanine ...
Have you been to Dollar Tree lately?They had one of these three-pack sand dollars left. One. You know I couldn't grab it fast enough so I could add my own touches. All I did was hand-stamp some cute beachy sayings on each one. I have them displayed in a wicker basket for a simple nautical look.Total cost: $1.25 plus tax.And who could forget these guys?! I swear I've had these Dollar Tree ceramic starfish and...
Just a little before and after of these faux concrete candle holders from Dollar Tree. I loved them white, but I knew that the candle soot would make them dirty after each use, so...I painted them black. Problem solved! I love them even more now. Not bad for $2.50!Jeanine ...
Have you seen these ceramic mushrooms at Dollar Tree? Someone on IG had the brilliant idea to paint the bottoms black and I was all in!I forgot to take a before picture, but the bottoms were a boring beige. Look at them now! So much better. I'm displaying them inside, but you could also place them in your garden and use for autumn decor. The possibilities are endless...and all it took was some black paint.Jeanine...
Run, don't walk, if you haven't been to Target in a while. They've slowly been adding summer pieces to their DollarSpot (a.k.a. Bullseye's Playground), and the selection does not disappoint. First up is this mini cloche tray. I imagine using it for outdoor entertaining. Cheese plate, anyone (especially since they also have chalkboard cheese sticks in the DollarSpot too)?! Or how about adding some mini faux flowers or robin's eggs for indoor decor?! If you're going with...
