Creepy Halloween Bottles

September 19, 2016 / BY Okio B Designs
I'm not a big wine drinker, but thankfully a lot of my friends are. Thanks to many of them, I was able to create these creepy Halloween bottles. I started by removing the labels from each bottle.  I don't have Goo Gone, so I just used good old fashioned scrubbing and hot water. Once the labels were off, I gave each bottle 2-3 coats of black paint. Once the paint was dry, I broke out...

Autumn Touches

September 09, 2016 / BY Okio B Designs
Never mind the fact that it's like a bazillion degrees here today, I've got autumn on the mind.  I added some fresh fall touches about the house earlier this week.

Seriously one of the easiest craft projects ever.  I printed out lavande on plain white paper and then glued it to some French book paper....

Embarking On a New Career

August 10, 2016 / BY Okio B Designs
So remember a few months ago I mentioned I was going back to school?  What I didn't mention is that I went to real estate school. Yup, yours truly is now a licensed real estate salesperson in the state of New York.  It was hard juggling work, kids, crafting, life, etc., but I passed all of my tests and officially became licensed last week. I'll still be working my current job and crafting, but I'm...
