I've been on an organizing frenzy in my office lately and while ready to purge anything I didn't need anymore, I ended up using a few of the pieces to create a great organizer!

Here is a great, easy project to do for the summer.  You can make it for yourself or with your children or grandchildren.  It's the perfect summer beach project!  source

This one is for all my fans of Dollar Store makeovers!  I took these 2 simple boxes and turned them into something easy and fun to make. One is for the art lover and the other is a Fourth of July decoration you're going to want to try! 

I found these great stars at the Dollar Tree recently and was saving them for just the right inspiration. My last trip to Marshalls gave me the inspiration I needed for this easy Fourth of July craft! 

Some summer inspiration and an easy way to make sailboats for a costal mantel. All you need is white fabric and some driftwood or even sticks from the yard would work! 

This is an older post that was worth sending out again! The idea for this repurposed chandelier came together after I found this huge wooden turned post on the side of the road. 

I've been on the lookout lately for something to keep my large summer earrings organized and after searching the stores and the internet I decided to make my own. 

Do you love hydrangeas in the summer? I sure do! Problem is, I can't grow them very well! One year I will have 3 blooms, another year I will have a bush full of gorgeous flowers.  I may have figured out the secret this year! 

I can not take credit for this cute idea but I'm going to put my own spin on it and put it out there for everyone looking to decorate a tiered tray or fill a bowl with decorations for summer and the Fourth of July. 

Sometimes I just like to create from things I have around the house.  Today I'm making a stenciled American flag project made with found objects!  DIY Fourth of July decorations are my favorite this time of the year! 

I may be losing it a little with this project, or so my daughter has told me.  I saw a tote like this at a fair one time and when my other daughter, (I have 4) got chickens, this project was well on its way! 

These candles are a cinch to make! See how easy you can turn a dollar store candle into a holiday treasure! I'm making these candles in an American flag design but the same directions go for any occasion! 

This project is so free and easy to make that it's sinful!  The inspiration came to me from a project a friend did recently and I just happen to have the sweet gum tree nearby!

This was a quick and easy project from parts I found in my basement. Every once in a while I get the urge to just dig through my box of junk pieces and see what I can make. Sometimes I even surprise myself and am thrilled with the results! 

The minute I saw these driftwood fish in Marshall's I new I wanted one.  I could either pay the cost of the fish or I could make myself one or two for free! I choose free...

This idea was a total experiment and it developed as I worked on it.  It all began with a recycled paper bubble mailer and some cinnamon! 

Driftwood lovers pay attention to this... Here are  6 fun projects you can make with driftwood of all sizes!

I haven't been doing big earrings lately because they are usually very heavy.  When I found these incredibly light earrings I had to have more and when I couldn't find the colors I was looking for, I had an idea! 

Today I'm creating a sturdy pedestal dish for my kitchen from things I already had around the house.  I love it when there is no trip to the store!

This project came just in time for Mother's Day! I've had the idea to make plant markers for my herb garden for a while and when it ended up to be this easy, I was ready to make a bunch! 

This teeny tiny tiered tray was an idea I had after realizing I had an abundance of small terra cotta saucers for plants.  The most recent plant saucer I acquired was no larger than 2" across! 

I just love decorating my tiered tray for the season and for special holidays.

Here's a quick and easy project that costs only pennies and looks great. Customize this idea and decorate your home for the Fourth of July and the summer months! 

I found the cutest wooden fish at the dollar store and being a fish lover I knew just what I wanted it to be! 

Here's one for you... a recycled Amazon plastic mailing bag. Yep, you heard it right, and if this doesn't give you another reason to shop nothing will! 

The idea isn't mine but the fish pattern that I'm using on everything in my outdoor space this summer is!  When I watched a video on how to decoupage candles I couldn't believe how easy it was to do... I jumped right in and got to work! 

I just love this decoupage technique and if you haven't noticed I've been using it on quite a few projects recently.  It's easy, inexpensive, and looks amazing if you use this little trick when you're doing it! 

This was the luckiest trip to the thrift store ever!  Did you ever see something from across the room and almost run to it?

This post is from a while back so whatever you do, please excuse the old photos!  This project and a few more are for all of you shell lovers looking for a quick and easy summer decorating idea.

Here is a fun and easy project for summer decorating.  The supplies came from the Dollar Tree and you're going to want to fill it with flowers for the summer! 

Several years ago I up-cycled an IKEA set of drawers and gave it a little farmhouse style,  it came out great! Today, I'm going to create a similar set of drawers using items from the dollar store.

This cute sign came about because I had a frame I needed to fill.  You just can't have a perfectly good frame just sitting there without anything in it.

I'm so excited about today's project! As you may have seen, I've been working on decorating my outdoor deck. I'm going with a blue theme and when I found a set of gorgeous fish plates that match, I was over the moon! 

This dollar store project couldn't be easier or quicker and involves a few pieces from Dollar Tree. That's a small investment and you'll be using this project for years to hold spring flowers.  It's a great project to create for a girls night get together project too! 

It's been a while since I've used any of the cabinet doors I found a couple of years ago. I love repurposing cabinet doors, they are such a blank canvas! 

Every project has to begin and end somewhere.  Sometimes my projects begin again even after they've become a project.  This outdoor tray is a repurposed project from a Christmas sign...

I've had this clam basket laying around for years. Since we live by the ocean, I'm sure it held thousands of clams at one time.  I've been thinking about creating a liner for it for a long time now and I came up with a great idea that can work for almost any basket. 

I'm decorating my outdoor space for Spring and I ran across something to share because it's just that cute! It all just happens to go with my color scheme and of course... they are inexpensive! 

Another fun project from Dollar Tree.  While I was there the last time I grabbed a Jenga-ish wooden game.  I've used these games many times in the past to create ornaments and projects for the home. 

These adorable tiered tray signs took minutes to make and are perfect to decorate a tiered tray for any season! 

Another trip to the dollar store and this time I bought something for $1 and I didn't even know what it was but I was game to figure it out and give it a new life. 

It all began several years ago with a weekend fire pit build, which turned into a gravel surround, and now a great fire pit cover! 

Are you looking for an easy DIY project that looks adorable? This one is it!  For this project you can either cut out a tag shape from wood like I did or you can buy one at the dollar shape and repurpose it. 

A few years ago I made a junky birdhouse for my backyard. I used all reclaimed parts and rusty things I found around my house. It was easier than you may think, the hard part ended up to be the hole...

Lavender smells so beautiful and little sachets for your drawer makes everything smell wonderful. They make great Mother's Day gifts too! 

Game changer!  Every once in a while I want to shout from the roof tops when I find a new product, especially one that works just like you would hope it will. 

Coming up with something new for your front door is always a challenge. You could hang a wreath but sometimes something unique is in order. This is what I was thinking when I found these great Target Dollar Spot finds.

Usually I show you a step by step tutorial of what I'm making.  Today however, I was in such a zone that I finished the whole project in a few minutes and only got around to taking photos when I was finished. Trust me though, it's worth the read! 

The dollar store comes through again!  As I shopped Dollar Tree for Easter gifts for my 6 little grandchildren, I ran across these adorable treat sacks.  At first I thought I could fill them with treats for the kids, but then I had a much better idea!

Are you ready for a little Spring? It started yesterday and I am more than ready for it! These little bunnies are the cutest little things and there is no sewing involved! You heard that right, no need to drag out the sewing machine!
