• Cute and affordable fall decor at Dollar General

  

  Who else is happy that it’s finally fall? I am more than ready to break out my sweaters, boots, hoodies and scarves, but it’s still just a bit too warm in North Carolina. Hopefully, by the end of the month, we’ll be a little more chill (see what I did there?). At least, until the […]

• Make a tray from an old picture frame

  

  I have had this old picture frame for ages, and while I knew I could make something cool with it, I wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted to do. I had painted it green at some point. I initially thought about painting it another color, but I found some old scrapbook paper that matched the […]
