You know that one dinner your Mom would make when you were growing up? The one that gave you all the feels like Anton Ego in Ratatouille. For me, it was Mom's Tuna Fish Casserole. While it's not quite classic comfort food, it was the one meal that made me happy - even after having a rough day at school. Now that I'm the Mom, I make it every few months for my kids with the...

October 22, 2020 / BY Okio B Designs
Can you believe Halloween is next week?! Nevermind that we ate most of our candy already, sigh! And that I'm kicking myself for not sharing my Ouija phone sooner.Or my creepy magnifying glass and Jack-'O-Lantern candle. I can't blame my absence on Co-Vid. Or Instagram. Or social media.I've just been a bad blogger. Again.I guess better late than never...Jeanine ...

Yes, you read that right: a mere $4.Run on over to your local Dollar Tree and grab one of their wipe-on/wipe-off boards. Then head to Target's Dollar Spot for these peel-n-stick pre-cut vinyl packets. A two-pack is just $3. The wipe-off board was, of course, $1.I'm not going to lie: the vinyl was a little tricky to use. I...
~thrift store makeover~

My favorite local thrift store finally opened last week. I could hardly contain myself! The pickings were a little slim, but I did manage to grab a metal tool holder and wood sign/cutting board. I gave the tool holder quite a few coats of white spray paint (to cover lots of rusty areas). Once that was dry, I printed out some Frenchy images onto waterslide decal paper. After coating the decals with clear spray paint,...
