Make A Easy Faux Glass Stained Dollhouse Miniature Door With A Cereal Box and Stickers in 1:12 scale


 In this video (above) I created a beautiful faux stained glass Dollhouse Miniature front door. You can use this technique for any room and tweak it to customize the look for different era's and styles.

I used:

Cereal box

Paint and paint brush

Washi tape (optional)

faux glass stained stickers (from Shein)

Earring backs for door knobs

Modge Podge (not required to coat)

Tacky Glue

I didn't have to buy anything. I used everything in my stash. There are alot of different ways to go with this technique. I could have made a rustic solid looking door with no faux glass stain. If you like to build up the borders/frame just apply more layers of the cut cereal boxes. I hope you enjoy the video above.

Dollar Tree Finds That Are Budget and Prepper Friendly


 Hello friends here are my newest finds from the Dollar
Tree.  Recently there have been alot of Walmart close out finds. Finding better quality goods for $1.25 is amazing. 

This certainly helps families stretch those dollars. I especially like to share my foodie finds. I feel it's extremely important to stock up our pantry shelves for our families. This weeks finds are comfort foods. Enjoy the video above.  

Creating Mixed Media Junk Journal Page In My Craft Room On A Shoe String Budget


I wanted to share this video with all of you. Here you will see how I use a book to create a unique mixed media junk journal page. The book was one that didn't hold my attention....other supplies from my stash and Dollar Tree items are used. 

Many people ask what is the point to this? Great question. My books are small works of art that I keep on a shelf instead of walls. They are treasure's for my children, grand children and family to see. 

What are the guidelines? Good question. First there are no rules. That's right there is no right or wrong. How I love that! I watched many other You Tubers create different kinds of junk journal books. In many different genre's. These included lace/trims, shabby chic, magazine tear parts, life/moments, critter/animal themed and more. 

I became intrigued by mixed media. The textures, dark colors, inks,  metals, and other creative techniques. I found a style that I could truly embrace with joy. I encourage everyone to find a hobby that brings joy and relaxation. I will admit I am trying to spread my wings in other kinds of themes but I keep coming back to mixed media. Enjoy the video above and the process.

Walmart Rising Prices


 Walmart has officially announced price hikes due to tariffs.  Although, they have been steadily raising prices since Covid.  Walmart holds no loyalty to anyone but their Executive Branch's.

Looking at their financials they have reaped substantial gains. Now, they will take advantage of a bad situation on the backs of struggling Americans. Check out the video above.
