Woooow. First of all I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS. bring on the DIY PLEASE. and Second. YOU have a beautiful family and home. God Bless you alll. Love. Love DIY
..And WE are so thankful for YOU sweet lady! I love the rope basket, and the kid's baby pix in the hanging frames. Thanks for all your wonderful inexpensive ideas.
You make my day when I see something coming up that you've created just your smile and the children and I'm always praying for your husband stay safe and keep on posting
You by far have the cutest crafts on ANY "YOU TUBE" CHANNEL.... I am in love with your ideas.... And your personality is infectious...... I just love you.... ❤❤❤
Hiya! Love all your cool, cheap creations! We live in Emerald Isle now, but I JUST found out I grew up just around the corner in Gastonia! And spent a couple years hanging around Matthews... dating a super sweet guy named Terrell. Relationship didn't last, but the great memories remain! Growing up in the South was so much FUN! The rivers, bonfires, dancing with my friends on those hot summer nights, the intoxicating scent of the flowers in the humid air...I had an absolute BLAST!! Southern girls rock!!
It's so crazy to see how big the boys have gotten. I remember when they were babies! Thanks for the tips just found a huge dollar tree in my area. I can't wait to see what they have!
I saw in your other video where you rescued your new dog, congratulations! I am an animal rescue were in New Orleans Louisiana and I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for rescuing that beautiful dog. Do you know you actually saved two dogs the day u adopted ur pet? Of course you saved your dog then you save the life of the dog that was able to have your dogs old kennel at the shelter because you made space. So many animals get put down because of the lack of space. Again, THANK U THANK U! You are definitely part of the solution and not part of the problem. I also am crazy about your dollar tree videos! I went to my local dollar tree today and bought enough to make three of your DIY crafts, including the canvases to put my 7 dog’s paws on. I also purchased enough to do my 2 cats paws and our rabbit, Bunny Biff’s paws (or r they called feet for the rabbit?)
I love the projects you created and the flower arrangements looks so high end indeed! Your dt is better and bigger than the ones I have been to in my area. I did get some bins the other day and quite happy with them. I would love to make the wooden planter you made indeed it was super quick and easy and the finished product- stunning!
I have to say Ive watched many many clips on dollar tree and you are my favorite...your so sweet and love the way you explain and make me feel like I can do this...blessings from Manitoba Canada
keep the videos coming i just watched this and now i am going to dollar tree i am decorating my moms bath room for her birth day . i am going for farm house look and this is what i need last minute great ideas . i love do it on a dimes family, i love how realistic she keeps it . i have subscribed turned on post notifications . i love owen and carson as well as your dog. who ever reads this have a amazing day
Some of this would also be terrific for my daughter's upcoming wedding! The galvanized frames, with photos of the happy couple! Those totes for the bridesmaids! Thanks for the great ideas!
Thanks for the peak behind the pretty, the work it takes to get there. Our family consists of 3 doggies...they are always in the middle of everything. Thanks for all the beautiful ideas.🌻
With your animated happy little boys, your sweet hubby and now your gentle and forever grateful pup Copper...could you ask for any more wonderful men in your life?!?! 💗💗 What a fun family you all are! And your videos always get me excited and inspired to visit the Dollar Tree again!
Wow! You are so good at thinking outside of the box and saving money! I really appreciate your positive, upbeat personality just as much as your ideas! Lol!
It is amazing how some dollar trees are filled with great finds while others have very little. I live in a big city so we have many stores to choose from. Two of them are filled with dollar goodies. I have bought more things there as gifts for other people. Your ideas are fantastic and I appreciate you sharing with us. 💗
I always love your fun projects (made your charcuterie boards for Christmas gifts for all my family) and after watching this video I had a light bulb go off in my head and had to go back, watch again and this time make my shopping list because I recently found out I am becoming a Grandma in December and thanks to your super wonderfulness; I have super baby shower prizes that I know everyone will love receiving Woo Hoo Dime Tribe
Love the wood planks turned into the flower holder, that looks so nice! I'm trying to be super strict about social distancing, but I definitely hope that they have some of these products when I'm able to get out again!
I work at the dollar tree! I got all the silverware, spatulas, cups, bowls, plates, and all other kitchenware, as well as decor here! It's amazing. My store is in a small town, but it's the biggest within 50 miles, so I always get the good stuff! It's great!!
I have never been in a Dollar Tree that looked like that! Don’t get me wrong, I love Dollar Tree...but mine does NOT look like that, or have that kind of stuff! One can only dream...lol...
If you ever get to 724 Eglin parkway Fort Walton Beach Florida,there is a Dollar tree that is simply amazing--. neat as a pin and all the employees are really friendly
I wish our Dollar Tree had such amazing items. One store here reset about a week ago and food get the crafters corner, however they still don't have the really nice stuff like the fabric, planks etc. I also wanted to say I love each and everyone of your awesome videos
I LOVE it!! ❤️ I’ve picked up many of those items myself, just waiting to do some crafts! I had to buy ALL of those organizers when I saw them! So cute!! 🥰 Thank you for sharing! 🤗
You are a blessing! We inherited a small home and i have been binging your videos to make it beautiful. Also, i love your energy and it has been keeping me smiling. Thank you for being you!
I thought that bag was a decorative pillow at first and I was like "oh. How cute" and when you said it wasn't... sadness. It can always be made into one though!
I love your 'helpers'! I always enjoy your videos because they keep moving, show a lot of content, give me good tips and ideas, and because you are so positive and fun! Thanks for sharing!
How cool are those wood planks! I’ll have to keep an eye out for those! The planter with roses turned out AWESOME!! So many great ideas! Thanks for sharing! XOXO ~ Rebecca
Never stop sharing your little family moments at the end of the video. They're my favorite and adds such a cute, personal touch to each of your videos. 💕
I clicked as soon as I saw “no skill required” 😂 I love crafting but I’m not super good at it haha! Can anyone relate?! ps: I make videos too if anyone has a sec to give me some feedback! It’s really appreciated ❤️
You enjoyed your trip to the Dollar Tree, can't wait for mine, it has been so long. Love how Cooper gets right in there and it is obvious that he is attached to you. Love it.
Can I ask your thoughts wearing gloves when shopping? I've seen several videos and posts from healthcare workers saying that it does more harm then good because of cross contamination.
@Nell J Please forgive me for length of this answer, I don't know how else to say this and get the point across... I've been in healthcare for over 30 years, and have had quite a few people ask about this, so I tell them to think of it like a Medical Assistant going from one room, and patient, to another, without changing gloves - all day... The MA wouldn't be at risk of touching people or things directly, but the cross contamination would be a nightmare for everyone - including the MA. There's a kid with strep in exam room 2. Residual on the MA's gloves then moves with her to exam 5, where someone is having her annual pap. Residual from the pap AND strep are then moved to exam room 3, where a man is just getting his blood pressure Rx renewed. In between, before, and after patients, she handles charts, touches door knobs, labels samples, makes phone call, then its back to exam 2, to clean, before the next patient. After a very short time, sick or not, doesn't really matter anymore - pretty much everything is contaminated throughout the office. The MA brings a pen and clipboard to the front office, and hands it off to a receptionist. A few minutes later, someone from billing pops in to grab a chart, and jots down a number on a post it, just before UPS shows up to pick up pre-employment kits headed for a lab two states over... Everyone is getting this, right?? But, I'm sure I just heard someone think, "Yikes! But, you idiot, we're not dealing with sick people (ew!) or assisting with pap smears (double ew!) We're just making sure our hands don't contact high touch surfaces. That's protecting myself AND the next person that comes along." Honestly, that's a lovely thought! Kudos for trying, and for thinking of others! Unfortunately, just like the MA wearing one set of gloves all day, things are moving in ways they normally wouldn't, from one place, and person, to another. Proper gloving (possibly HUNDREDS of changes a day!) PLUS hand washing, PLUS proper cleaning proceedures (with other pairs of gloves), PLUS appropriate training ALL combine to minimize contamination and cross contamination. These things are what normally protects the MA and patients; as well as the receptionist, billing staff and not only the UPS driver, but the other 20+ people that will come in contact with the package. ***Note that the MA touched the pen that billing wrote the note with, and the receptionist used to sign the chain of custody paperwork, which the driver took and laid on top of the box as he carried it back to the truck, where they all touched other papers and boxes... Did anyone do the math and figure out, how many people have potentially been exposed to the Corona/COVID virus? The answer could be hundreds or many, many more! Just like with so many other things about this virus, we don't know until the damage is done. In this case, a delivery person, with asymptomatic COVID-19, dropped off flowers for the office manager's birthday, 15 minutes before the MA's shift started that morning. Then the MA touched the vase, and moved the flowers, just enough to get to the box and grab a pair of gloves for the day. She contaminated, her gloves while she was putting them on! And the vase is no different than a cart, a car door handle, or something on a shelf in a store. So, please, don't glove to go out! Wash your hands, try not to touch and remember that the pandemic is NOT over! Stay safe and healthy (or I'll come back and write more!) LOL! Wishing everyone who stuck it out and read this big old long thing a great day!!!
@@kacewill Maybe, but, in that case it would be better to keep it covered with a carefully applied, waterproof occlusive dressing. Not only would it keep it clean and help it heal faster, handwashing (or hand sanitizing while out and about) can continue as as suggested by the CDC/NIH. The problem with wearing gloves in a store, to cover a wound, would still be cross contamination and transfer - very possibly including into the wound. BUT, I'd also like to say, what a kind, and thoughtful, way of thinking! I really believe that everyone is just trying to do their best in a rotten situation, with, sometimes, sketchy or no information, but sometimes there are reasons for people to do something, differently than they normally would, and with only good intentions, because it makes sense in that moment. Thank you for reminding me to remember that!
I love all these easy, beautiful DIY projects. I do have a concern I wanted to ask about because I struggle with it in my mind. Are most of these products made in China? I ask this because in my experience, they are, yet China has such a horrific history of labor abuses of its people. It's a conundrum I struggle with and was wondering if others experience this?
Hate to burst your bubble, but almost EVERYTHING you buy is made overseas, under those same conditions. Unless you're eating a burger at a mom and pop restaurant! Even then most of the serving ware, napkins, etc are imported, as are lots of condiments. Heck, even the veggies are imported! Hard to find much of ANYTHING actually made in the USA, using ALL USA products. Since the 60's when laws were changed and our businesses and manufacturers exited our shores in mass in search of cheap labor. Saddly, we are a country of consumers, not makers.
I went to dollar tree this weekend because my 6 yr old niece came to stay with us for a while and she loves painting and crafts. So I got some of the bead kits they have and some of the little wooden drawers they sell that have the little cut out butterflies/flowers/hearts. She had a great time painting those and it was an easy way to keep her busy all day. The beads will be a project for another day. I didnt see the little wooden plaques at my dollar store unfortunately though.
Ahhh Kathryn you are the best TH-camr ever! LOVE your vids with the family and dog. Your voice and manner brings a sense of calm which I really need!! Thanks for sharing 💕
I LOVE THAT YOUR SHOPPING WITH SURGICAL GLOVES. IT ONLY SHOWS HOW CAUTIOUS YOU ARE TO YOUR SURROUNDINGS, THE SITUATION WE HAVE NOW, AND ALSO TO YOUR FAMILY. BETTER TO BE SAFE!!!!! Addtl: SMART MOM!!!!!
I respectfully disagree as the CDC even is now saying the virus is not easily transmitted on surfaces. Realistically we all take more risks driving in our cars. We followed the rules as first because we truly didn't know what was coming but it turns out Coronavirus was perhaps an overhyped flu and I'm so sad to see the damage that quarantine has done to mental health.
We have a brand new DT, about 1 1/2 miles from me. I went into it, the other day, and it's so neat and clean. I didn't have much time. I'd like to just go back and browse . You do everything so well. Just love watching you and your family.
You have inspired me setting my kitchen organizers.. Just started. I can't believe how organized and space extra I finally have. My husband just jams all in pantry.. Now he loves it and finally knows where to place in right order finally. I can find all easy now. Ty.. Next big drawers... Than bathroom. Have neighbor and remodeled replace new things in house..so I can't wait to have it done when landlord comes over..
I have to admit. I'm hooked. Never really went to dollar tree. Then saw one of your videos, wow. I have been organizing everything in the house, drawers, cabinets, closets. Next I might try one of your craft projects! Love the videos, you and your family are so cute! Thanks again
I live in a small town and we don't have half of the stuff you showed. So awesome to see and look for at our Dollar Tree and when I get to go out of town. Love from Texas
I really love watching your videos. I am only 13 years old but your videos on cleaning and productivity tips are the best. Waiting for more videos.
I'm 16 , 13+ squad were y'all at ? 😂 , I love your videos! 💙💙
These DIY projects were all beautiful and very creative! Love Copper making himself comfortable on everything and the family together at the end...... LOVE!! 💞
When you held up the canvas bag at the end I thought it would make an easy pillow by cutting off the handles and sewing the top.
Same. I thought that was a pillow 😂
i thought the same thing :)
Me three!
Same
Ha! I was coming to say the same thing! My vision is poor, and I thought it was a pillow at first!
Woooow. First of all I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS. bring on the DIY PLEASE. and Second. YOU have a beautiful family and home. God Bless you alll. Love. Love DIY
Yes! Carson saying “this is what a mom has to deal with a dog, kid and dad” 🤣 #momlife ❤️

You Have The Best Dollar Store Wherever You Live. Ours Is Not So Nice.
It is , she have so much stuff, I love in Orlando I jus find some cute stuff from time to time😌
Yeah Step 1: Live near a good store
Step 2: form a relationship with management so they tell you when they get new stuff.
Same!!! The nearest one to me is always trashed!!
Me as well. Not only is ours not stocked as well, the shelves aren't really organized.
I live in Canada and I haven't seen half of the nice stuff you have shown! I love your videos. I feel very inspired!

Who else feels like she seems a lot happier now that she can go to the dollar tree again?
I would be a lot happier if I could go to mine, too.
Wow! You are so good at thinking outside of the box and saving money! I really appreciate your positive, upbeat personality just as much as your ideas! Lol!
Thank you, I love how everything comes out to look like it does not come from dollar tree

You picture perfect what a true look of summer is in all your diy’s,that is a feeling of good vibes.
I have never been in a Dollar Tree that looked like that! Don’t get me wrong, I love Dollar Tree...but mine does NOT look like that, or have that kind of stuff! One can only dream...lol...

Can I just say how much I love your doggie?? Those eyes!! So expressive and beautiful
Everything looks great! 💖 Sadly, I don't have Dollar Tree in my country, but I enjoy watching all this DIYs. 😁 Greetings from Bucharest,Europe. 🤗
I don't know how you manage it all. I need a nap just watching you! Love your creativity.
Your Dollar Tree is AMAZING! 💗
Thank you so much. I am so not crafty, but want to be. You explain things and choose crafts that even I can do. You are amazing!
I LOVE it!! ❤️ I’ve picked up many of those items myself, just waiting to do some crafts! I had to buy ALL of those organizers when I saw them! So cute!! 🥰 Thank you for sharing! 🤗
I can totally relate. I picked about 10 or more of their new organizing systems once I saw them, in really good quality too.
I’ve watched so many of these videos and every single time think “Oh my goodness! That’s amazing!” Jaw drop! So many good ideas!
Oh man, I wish we had Dollar Tree here in Nova Scotia ! Love the end of the videos too Kathryn lol.xo
I absolutely love your positive energy. It jumps off the screen!
Love the simple diy hope that I can find some of the supplies at my dollar tree
You are a blessing! We inherited a small home and i have been binging your videos to make it beautiful. Also, i love your energy and it has been keeping me smiling. Thank you for being you!
You have some awesome finds, and you made some beautiful creations!! I am so in love with the rose planter box! I have to hit Dollar Tree soon!
You and your children are so blessed. Thank you for the videos.
Love all these DIYS! Copper is just too cute!
Your kids are too adorable. Including your dog. Love watching your videos. Stay safe. God bless!❤
I thought that bag was a decorative pillow at first and I was like "oh. How cute" and when you said it wasn't... sadness.
It can always be made into one though!
You're so creative. Its just like a bulb turns on . Boom you get an image. Amazing
“The high end you would find at... Hobby Lobby” 🤣🤣🤣
What a joy you are to watch! Always enjoy all your videos and how you incorporate store items, what you do with them and display. Thank you 💜
Does anyone else’s dollar tree look NOTHING like hers like mines a dump and has nothing it just has topperwear and party supplies
Mine too!
Ours is tiny. The whole craft dept is on 1 shelf.
Agreed. All three in my area are nowhere near as nice and organized
Mine too! Mine doesn't have half the stuff hers does!!
Ours are literal junk stores. :(
I love your 'helpers'! I always enjoy your videos because they keep moving, show a lot of content, give me good tips and ideas, and because you are so positive and fun! Thanks for sharing!
How cool are those wood planks! I’ll have to keep an eye out for those! The planter with roses turned out AWESOME!! So many great ideas! Thanks for sharing! XOXO ~ Rebecca
Never stop sharing your little family moments at the end of the video. They're my favorite and adds such a cute, personal touch to each of your videos. 💕
I love this, would love to see summer DIYs!🍋
Yess , I agree!
You're always so happy and sweet in your videos. You make a lot of cool crafts, and they always look so high end! 💖
None of the Dollar Trees around me ever have these nice things. Our flower section is also really small. 😞
You see gold in products I would never have looked twice at! I am mesmerized!
Who came to see the comments to see where she lives to move there since our dollar tree SUCK? I have 4 near by, although clean...empty
right. i have 3 near me and only one is anywhere near decent but never seams to have the stuff i see here
Sariah Piedrasanta This girl did! I asked as well.
Lmao! Same my dollar tree is a sad story
Thanks for the ideas and the smiles you and your family brought to the day❣️
Where the heck kinda Dollar Tree has fabric? I have never heard of that.
Some even have yarn!! Not mine though. Sad day.
@@kathleenspencer4742 lolol yes same
Never seen fabric no
Your positive vibe is so appreciated!! Take care and blessings to you and your family !!
Love what you do--but my local Dollar Tree never has what yours has.
Sigh.
The bee 🐝 print fabric is a great one for napkins or even waxed food wrapper. Be Safe and Healthy 🤗
Loved the Diy's. We have 7 Dollar Tree's here and I have been trying to get the Bee Fabric but nothing so far.
The thin canvases work great with heat transfer vinyl in heat presses!! Love them!
I clicked as soon as I saw “no skill required” 😂
I love crafting but I’m not super good at it haha! Can anyone relate?!
ps: I make videos too if anyone has a sec to give me some feedback! It’s really appreciated ❤️
MUSIX with THUNDER 😊
YES 🤣
I am not so good either. I really want to try the rope DYI.
@Isabelle Mills cool where?
Ha! That’s awesome! LOL
You enjoyed your trip to the Dollar Tree, can't wait for mine, it has been so long. Love how Cooper gets right in there and it is obvious that he is attached to you. Love it.
I would take a plane just to go to shop to your dollar store ,... the DTS close to my house didn’t have those items 🙁
You can order online and have it shipped to store for free!
Donna Riccardi that is awesome ! Thank you!
You are brilliantly gifted!!! You do things that I cannot even begin to think of!

Even then most of the serving ware, napkins, etc are imported, as are lots of condiments. Heck, even the veggies are imported! Hard to find much of ANYTHING actually made in the USA, using ALL USA products. Since the 60's when laws were changed and our businesses and manufacturers exited our shores in mass in search of cheap labor. Saddly, we are a country of consumers, not makers.
You are the best! Thank you for sharing your talent and family! You keep us grounded and blessed!
I love your videos! Your positive and bubbly personality and right-to-the-point approach to express your ideas is refreshing. Blessings and thanks!
I watch these videos and think "yay, a sneak peak at what my dollar tree will have in the coming weeks". It gets me excited to go and shop :)
I really like your energy and cheerfulness and the cute kids and dog
I especially like the frames glued on the ribbon, but all the ideas are so cute. Thanks!
I went to dollar tree this weekend because my 6 yr old niece came to stay with us for a while and she loves painting and crafts. So I got some of the bead kits they have and some of the little wooden drawers they sell that have the little cut out butterflies/flowers/hearts. She had a great time painting those and it was an easy way to keep her busy all day. The beads will be a project for another day. I didnt see the little wooden plaques at my dollar store unfortunately though.
Fantastic ideas. Thank you! You and your family are precious.💗

I respectfully disagree as the CDC even is now saying the virus is not easily transmitted on surfaces. Realistically we all take more risks driving in our cars. We followed the rules as first because we truly didn't know what was coming but it turns out Coronavirus was perhaps an overhyped flu and I'm so sad to see the damage that quarantine has done to mental health.
So happy to hear that Carson has figured it out. Let's hope that insight sticks!! Love, E.
We have a brand new DT, about 1 1/2 miles from me. I went into it, the other day, and it's so neat and clean. I didn't have much time. I'd like to just go back and browse . You do everything so well. Just love watching you and your family.
I am totally jealous of your Dollar Tree! So organized and clean.
Look forward to your posts... Missing seeing them so often.. And they are always a joy.. I wish we had a dollar store.. Stay safe. x
The tote bag could easily be sewn into a cute canvas throw pillow. ❤️

Now he loves it and finally knows where to place in right order finally. I can find all easy now. Ty.. Next big drawers... Than bathroom. Have neighbor and remodeled replace new things in house..so I can't wait to have it done when landlord comes over..

I have to admit. I'm hooked. Never really went to dollar tree. Then saw one of your videos, wow. I have been organizing everything in the house, drawers, cabinets, closets. Next I might try one of your craft projects! Love the videos, you and your family are so cute! Thanks again
I live in a small town and we don't have half of the stuff you showed. So awesome to see and look for at our Dollar Tree and when I get to go out of town.
Love from Texas
You gave me a great idea with the flowers for my wedding reception tables
Your videos really cheer me up when I'm not having a great day. Thank you so much!
