I'd definitely like to see the guide to how to pack all these items up in the new year, without destroying everything. 🦋
Yes
Me too please
Me, three!!
Yes please, especially like that first centerpiece she made with all the little trees. How do u pack that up?
I vaguely recall a video from a few years back, using trays of (glued on) solo cups to store baubles.
You can use an offcut from a plank of wood (or a coat hanger, in a pinch) to wrap lights around.
I can't decide between the trees. They're both so pretty, just in different ways. One tip to make sad garlands and wreaths look better is to take a little time to fluff out and shape each branch. If they're flattened and misshapen it will make a world of difference.
I'm a lady bug . But I do admire those folks that put individual ornaments back in their compartments year after year ! ☺️
Also a Ladybug and I do a half-a@$ed job of putting my things back in tge bins. 😮
Oh yes! I am a ladybug. I have so many Christmas totes, and no organization inside! I do at least wrap things, but I also keep all the broken things and the ornament boxes which will never again have the correct ornament inside
I am a cricket and yes, I wrap my ornaments neatly. Can't bear to only think to toss everything in a bin. 😂😂😂 Takes a lot of time, but there's not a lot of damage or mess. Luckily we are all different. 😁 Loved the video. ❤️ Greetings from the Netherlands! Oh and the red tree. 😊
I like your rustic, natural tree upstairs. I'm more of a traditional Christmas decorator, but your pink fancy tree is beautiful too.
:)
I get the feeling that Cass loves decorations for Christmas.
OCD cricket here 👋 I change my house decorations 5-6 times per year and it usually only takes me 1-2 hours max for the entire house.
The trick is pretty simple: when storing decor I always use big see through bins with lids and I label them by rooms rather than the occasion. And then inside the big bins i would use smaller (also labeled) boxes that each contains decor for different occasion. That means I already have my decor prepped for each room and all i have to do is to take each box to it's corresponding room and to set it up. It's fast, easy and it's completely clutter free.😊
That's a great idea!
That IS a great idea! Unfortunately, I have a bin for each room...for each holiday...sigh...time to declutter a bit, methinks!
@@deborahjames3113
That sigh.. 😅will you hate me if I tell you decluttering is one of my favorite chores of all? (right after folding clothes).
If you feel overwhelmed by it however you have exactly 40 days till Christmas so technically if you make a decision to declutter a single item every day you will most likely succeed since nobody really stops at one item once they start..5 min per day should be all you need really.. 😁
@@Kao96.. I can never hate someone for a quality I admire! Thanks for the tip/motivation...it's all about getting started!
“I also have a bucket of twigs!” Was my favorite line and I had to watch a few times because it kept making me chuckle - but totally planning to do that one! 🤭 love these ideas!!!!
Bucket of twigs with real greenery is $50-$80 at the grocery store! I think I can make one of my own much cheaper! Can decide if I will use real greenery off my tree....
Yes! The gorgeous pots at our store are $75!!!! 😱
My favorite inspiration in this video! Porch pots are $$$!
The line of bottle brush trees and the reindeer candle holder are absolutely lovely!
I love that reindeer candle holder! What a great piece! You always surprise us! Keep doing what you do! Hugs!🎄🎄🎄
:)
I agree! It is beautiful!
My son came up with an idea several years ago that is now my favorite Christmas tradition: The Jolly Dolly. Participants each get what used to be $5, now it's $6.25 plus tax, to buy whatever they want in the Dollar Tree and make it into a Christmas-themed something... then our elf determines the winner, and that person gets to open a present early or get first dibs on egg nog or cookies.
Everyone has access to glue guns, tape, etc. We've made ornaments, trees, wreaths, baskets, spreads of candy pandering to the elf's sweet tooth...
I love it! Especially since he came up with the idea. Our next one is slated for this weekend!
I always put everything away in an extremely organized way, BUT when I pull everything out the next year I make an absolutely huge mess while decorating. I have 48 years of beautiful things to display in vignettes all over the house. Christmas decorating is so much fun. I love to see my grandchildren respond to Christmas at Nana’s!
My living room as a beautify glam tree. Our bedroom has all the sweet heirloom, kid made, homemade ornaments on a small tree.. one that has the crochet tree skirt that my grandma made. We get the best of both worlds this way. ❤
I’m a rustic tree kinda gal who loves the winter aesthetic. Also a bee 🐝 who loves to decorate slowly, pulling out each storage tub. Each tub of course is organized by type of decor and room it is meant for 😎 On occasion I will bring up quite a bit from the basement but always make sure to clean up afterwards (I lose my mind if it all the totes stay out too long).
I'm a butterfly. But when it comes to certain items, I'm a bee. I wrap my ornaments well but then chuck everything into a tote. I'll find ornaments in different totes. I broke down and purchased an ornament box. Not all the ornaments fit in it. So once again, there's ornaments in other boxes. I'm not disappointed. It is what it is.
I am a cricket, but this year has been super simple because of life events. The funny thing that I wanted to share is that I carefully wrap several paper crafts that my kids made at very young ages. Think paper plates, traced hand prints on poster board with glitter, and macaroni noodles. It has been the utter horror of my kids when they see them on my tree. To explain their extreme disdain for these adorable treasures of mine, my kids are adults, ages 30 & 34! Lol. I love them and hope to have them on my tree as long as I live. ❤
Those trees arranged on the board looks gorgeous! No one would EVER guess Dollar Tree. It looks professional! Love it :)
Yay!
100% cricut. Everything wrapped and labeled. The ornament organizer is everything!
:)
Wow this video has 85,000 views and only 26 Likes. That would be frustrating if I posted videos. Great Job Cassandra. Love the Christmas music and theme. Great ideas.
I am a Ladybug but I do organize my decor in the totes every year so that unpacking is super easy! I use the same decor every year including DIY ribbons for the cabinets, etc. that I roll up and store in a shoebox in the totes, garland for over the windows and for wrapping light extensions are together...it makes me feel so proud every year when I go to unpack and see everything so neat and organized! 🤣 BUT I'm more of a minimalist too so I don't have a ton of things.
The reindeer candle holder is beautiful!
Love the bottle brush display & reindeer candle holder!! ❤️🎄🦌
Q1
Your video is probably the best Dollar Tree DYI Christmas decor video in the entire CZcams.
I have always told my kids, and everyone else that it’s not about how much something costs, or where it came from. Whether it’s Christmas decorations, clothes, linens, furniture, or anything else it’s about it being clean, and placed/used in attractive ways.
I always pack up the ornaments by color groups, because sometimes you want a red and gold tree, sometimes a blue and white tree, sometimes a peacock tree. Whichever mood strikes me when I go to decorate, all I need is the color palette I've chosen. I don't think my tree has ever looked the same way twice. Makes me happy to choose a different look each year!
Thanks for sharing!
I'm a cricket. I discard any decorations that I didn't use the year before and I put everything back nicely at the end of the season. Knowing that the bins are messy inside would make me nuts and I would probably lose sleep thinking about it 😬 LOVED the video. Great ideas. I especially love the flower tree. 😊
I’m a bee and everything neatly comes out of the boxes and gets put up, and neatly goes back in when the season is over. 😊
Awesome!
I love that reindeer candle holder ❤
Yay!
I’m a cricket and I make sure to declutter any unwanted decorations before packing them up and I put them up in an organized way. This makes it much easier to decorate the next year. I also loved all of these hacks ❤
Cricket here, too. Chirp chirp. :)
So glad!!
Oh my goodness! You have made dollar store stuff look sooooo high end! You did a beautiful job! Thank you for all the great ideas! I'm a bee.... all the ornaments go back in the box they came out of & lights wound up neatly.
I am not a crafty person, but you made such beautiful things, I think I can do this. The reindeer candle holder really does look expensive. And I love both trees. 😊
I am a butterfly, and there is stuff everywhere! No one can sit down boxes, open lids, all over the place glitter! And sometimes it stays that way for a couple days until I’m sure I’m done because I have to haul everything up and downstairs.😂😂
I am a bee who has moved often. Lists and labeled bins are my jam! I begin by making a plan/list of what I want to use this year, then I shop my bins over the weekends between US Thanksgiving week (exterior decor week here in the upper Midwest) and the Sunday before Dec 24 (Dec 17th this year). Not only that, I have home chores for my adult children to assist us with. This year we are moving large rugs (8' × 12') between rooms for 2024-- a free refresh! 😊 And we keep the 12 Days of Christmas, so all is up until January 6th.
I love your tree upstairs! And I can totally relate to just throwing stuff in a bin after the season is over. You’re not alone!
I'm a cricket with ADHD. I have to wait for the optimal time to put away the Christmas decorations so it can be organized for next year. If it's a hot mess when I open up the bin I find it extremely difficult to even start decorating. I would have to organize the things before I set out anything. Having less Christmas decorations has also helped. I've only kept the things that I truly love and I use a lot of lights. Lights have a big impact on their own without cluttering up the place. I put lights on already existing plants and shelving.
Best I can tell I'm a Bee. So, I try my best to put everything up neatly the year before and work on each section of my house at a time. For instance, my special ornaments for my tree are all individually wrapped for protection, and I unwrap each one as I decorate the tree. Then once the tree is done I move onto hanging the stocking along with decorating around my TV. The goal is to eventually decorate my kitchen fully for Christmas.
You’re awesome Cas. You’re so creative and thanks for sharing your best tips with us. Thanks for being so transparent about the mess too. You’re so real and we appreciate it all. Can’t wait for your holiday baking videos. Last years’ were awesome and so helpful. My kids loved your recipes
I love anything rustic
Really enjoying this video! Like these simple, inexpensive craft ideas! I learned the hard way that red floral berries don't enjoy summering in a hot attic where I stored my Christmas decor. They burst open and revealed their Styrofoam innards. 😅 Maybe sharing this will save some of you when you pack your berries away. 😂
Yes, red candles can melt too!
I am a hot mess sandwich, too. I TRY to keep it neat but it never happens. In fact right now, the dining room floor and table are covered in Christmas decor, lol! Tomorrows to-do job is finish putting up stuff and clean up!!
I’m a bee and all my decorations are sorted by type, neatly packed into totes. When I decorate, I bring the totes out and usually only have to open one at a time. That may change this year as now we have a bigger house and more to decorate, but organized, yes.
I just LOVE the reindeer candle holder! Genius!!! Love it all! Thanks Cas!!!!!
I'm a butterfly and I can totally relate...and then I'm like okay I decorated, someone else clean up :) I finally convinced my husband to stop using the ornament boxes a few years ago because it was like torture to put each ornament back in its wrapping and box and then tetris them alllllll into a large bin. That is not me.
I have two large clear ornament bins. Every year, I treat myself to one (or two) special ornaments from a trip, a craft shop or just wherever I see one that makes me smile. Not necessarily expensive. Breakable ornaments are carefully wrapped up, non breakables are placed together in pretty boxes. All fit into the two bins and put away after Christmas. When I take them out the following year, it’s like opening presents, when I unwrap them! Not a chore, just a lot of awww’s, so sweet, cool, funny, etc coming out of my mouth. I just keep all the wrappings in the same bins for the later putting away. Love Christmas. My home decorations are mostly nature, outdoor winter wonderland themed, so can keep them up, over our whole cold Canadian winter.
My house is a wreck from until I'm done decorating, but everything is wrapped & organized before it's put away. One of the best 'dollar store hack' videos ever!!
Love the reindeer tiered tray and the books you covered in white paper to say "baby it's cold outside". I'm a butterfly, but my fall and Christmas organizations are pretty organized.
Thanks for sharing!
I just moved into a place that has space for a Christmas tree and I'm so excited to decorate it! Thanks for all the tips! I haven't been to a dollar tree in a while 😅
Thank you. No one needs to over spend on their decorations. This was very helpful.
So glad!
I am a bee, so of course I have ALL the organization bins for my decorations! I got one for that allows to place the tree ornaments in individual spots, all padded. I got a bag for the tree! So, when we pull out the decor it’s all neat and when we put it back it’s all neat! I now need to label them too!
Cricket here :) I do find myself finding the perfect decor and not changing it up for years once I find what works in a space. Christmas is really the only holiday I go all out for-I maybe put up a few things for halloween or a bunting up for July. Storage...yeah, I do carefully box everything up but that's so it will fit back in (need to declutter it seems!)
My two favorite hacks are your first one with the trees. And the deer on the mirror---totally cool! Good job, Cas.
I'm somewhere in the middle. I take down Fall, put the items I am keeping in their bins, dust, and go for Christmas. It HAS to look messy at first--especially if you are moving things around to have a somewhat different look. Im definitely a ladybug--so the bins are a MUST.
I'm an extreme cricket. I declutter when I'm getting ready to decorate and when I'm packing up. Everything goes back into original packaging and then into like-item tubs. I prefer the traditional, rutic tree, but the other is pretty.
I love the DIY. I know the story for every ornament we own. And I tell them every year. We have more of a memory tree than a themed tree. The ornaments come fom our childhoods and our trips throughout the years.
My house is a complete disaster, just like you. And I keep a basket or box on the stairs to collect Christmas buys through out the year. My hubby says I'm beyond help. But I LOVE IT! My happy place is amongst my Christmas Chaos!
So many great ideas that seem easy enough for a novice to try! Thanks so much! 🎄
I haven't been able to decorate in 4 years because I'm still trying to renovate my whole house & declutter...it isn't working out well 😒 but your house is beautiful! 🥰 I hope that I'll be able to decorate next Christmas (I've said that every year for the last 3 years)
Believe in yourself and you'll get there. I find it helpful to make your self a guide, write down what you want to accomplish, break it into easy to tackle steps and you'll soon have that home you long for.
@kittikins1 thank you 😊
You're as funny as usual!! Although I am a meticulously organized person at heart, during holiday decorating, I am a disaster too! Every room of my house, including the basement and the garage, look like they've been hit by a tornado! No place to even walk comfortably! And as for the glitter, well, my family members have resigned themselves to the fact that they will be "eating" it for the next 2 months! Thanks for making me laugh every time! You're an inspiring hoot!
I have each room's decorations organized in its own bin-but there is a lot of "stuff" in them that can ake over that particular room until it is all decorated. I wrap all my Christmas items in tissue paper because we used to move often, and I was not sure if my Christmas decorations would survive otherwise. I pull everything out, not necessarily carefully, and put it in the bin top so I can see it. I get so excited seeing all the pretty things again. I grab items from the top of the bin as I go along. I have a lot of tree ornaments because I used to decorate 5 trees; one-family tree, 3 trees for each child, and one skinny tree in our hallway. I packed bins with just their ornaments that were in the original boxes and let them take what they wanted for their own trees when they had their own home. I kept their leftovers and only recently bought ornament packing boxes and started putting the ornaments in those, however, I kept a number of the Hallmark boxes they came in bc they were so fun to read about.
Thank you for the reindeer candle plate idea! We don’t have Dollar Tree here but I am definitely going to search something similar and copy the idea. So thanks!!!
You are so welcome!
Fantastic ideas! Easy and inexpensive. I'm definitely doing the cute bottle-brush tree woodland scene and embellishing my tree with flocked garlands and ribbon. I love all the tree styles but especially rustic.
Ladybug here. The older I get, the fewer decorations I put out. All I can think of is dealing with the clean up and storage after Christmas and it overwhelms me!
I know. My daughter is married and out of the house so I don’t decorate like I used to.
I get that.
I’m a hot mess too! Now I don’t feel so bad! Good to know there’s someone out there like me.
Cute ideas! Never buy new if you can rehab what you have. I love thrift stores. Cheaper than even the dollar store. I have vintage mid century snowflake glasses I put battery powered candles in. 1950s ceramics that aren't readily available. I get sick of wreaths or the picks are discolored, I save the wreath and get new picks for it. I even use the garland trick on wreaths. Make my own bows too. Gave up on having a big tree and bought a large leg lap for the front window. It's an Ohio thing. We are proud of our little holiday movie that was filmed here. We have kind of adapted that lamp into our decor. Even have a crate to put it on. I try to be clean but never happens.
I have a few of those apple picks that I've had for years now, they hold up really well if you treat them with kindness. Both trees are pretty, but I'm leaning toward the rustic flocked one. I'm undecided as to my tree theme this year, so I'm watching videos hoping for inspiration! 🎄🎅
Fun Christmas DIYs. Your trees look beautiful!
Thank you!
Nope! No "neat & tidy" here. I'm a huge Hot mess while decorating, and a tornado taking everything back down lol. I love everything that you did for your decorating. The way that you transformed that old tree with all the red berry pick takes my breath away. It is so beautiful.
I'm a cricket. The Christmas boxes are labelled and organized. The tree ornaments are organized in the box by the order that they will be put on the tree. The string lights are prepped to check for burnt-out lightbulbs and easy installation on the trees. And I only pull out the box for the area that I'm decorating at that moment. I just realized that I even have the boxes in the storage room organized by the order in which I decorate the house!
LOL!!!
I absolutely love the reindeer candle holder! Totally making that! Great job girl!
has anyone seen acrylic snow people at DT? (i haven't yet)
Love these ideas Cass! I'm in the UK but going to use the rules to check out Home Bargains (our equivalent here) I feel like you should sell all your creations they come out so beautifully and great for the people that aren't even that crafty and don't have a glue gun or spray paint!!
Hahahaha I love your style!!!! I pack up all my Thanksgiving and Fall stuff neatly before I even pull out my Christmas stuff. Then as I am decorating Im am putting the things I am removing from the tables and fireplace and any where else and placing them into the tubs after I take my Christmas items out of. I use the bubble wrap and paper and wrap all the items that Im tucking away for the Christmas season. Then I just Switch everything back after Christmas. I have all my tubs labeled such as “fireplace” “dining room side table” “Main stairs” “kitchen table” “side stairs” etc etc. one year I had the flu and my husband took everything out and just threw them in any tub and wrapped absolutely nothing. We had been married 40 yrs! Things broke and I cried and had so much anxiety having to straighten that huge mess out! I forbade him to ever touch “The Christmas Stuff” again! 😂
I am a cricket and all mess is cleaned up and put away that same day no matter how tired I am. When I pack up for the season everything is in totes labeled what’s in it ❤
I love that you use blue and still use it to decorate through the Christmas season.
Rustic, traditional tree is my favorite. ❤️ But, everything is GORGEOUS & AFFORDABLE.
100% prefer the tree upstairs and would say it’s more elegant than the pink themed tree.
With things getting so expensive I'd love to see some videos upcycling already owned decorations and making "new" ones. To me that would be a fun collaboration to do with other CZcamsrs! Happy Holidays!
Love how your simplistic items are turned into such high end looking decorations. Where I am in Canada, we don’t have The Dollar Tree, just Dollarama and choices are much fewer and more money. But, still tolerable. Keep up the good work. Love your humor too.
Both trees are gorgeous. If I have to pick one that’s my style it would be the upstairs.
The deer candle holder is perfection
Out of a lack of energy, I usually decorate in "shifts." I start with the tree in my family room. It's my favorite so it motivates me to do more. When I'm finished decorating that tree (BTW, all the decor for that tree is stored in one cube to make it easy to find.) I clean up my mess and the next day I take out the next project. I would say I'm a bit of a combo bug. I like things out where I can see them but the stuff I don't use every day gets organized in detail in my cupboards and closets. Sometimes my closets look better than the outside areas. Go figure.
I used to love love love to decorate. Unfortunately nowadays my health is simply not up to it. Your ideas are amazing. For those of you who are wondering, much of this can be condensed to be stored into totes to best stored until next year.
I'm a ladybug and I've gotten more organized with my xmas decor (but it's definitely still broad categories for the bins) - I am trying to be more and more systematic when I decorate though because if I don't... my husband and kids will just put things wherever they want (aka in the wrong spots, lol). I like both trees but I think the red rustic tree wins
I'm a 🦋 and I decorate from one bin at a time with minimal mess. I got rid of all my ornament boxes and just pile them all into one bin now for easier clean up, so I'm definitely a 🦋!
I have an elegant tree upstairs and a traditional red and green tree downstairs. As a former teacher I use that downstairs tree to display the precious teacher gifts I received over the years. I have long used the picks and ribbon to upscale my trees. Every year I try something new. This year it will be lovely long feathers that I sored cheaply from Temu. Our Dollar Tree is a hot mess. You can barely get down an aisle because there are half opened boxes everywhere. I fantasize about going there at night and working until the store looks great. I also can't seem to find some of the things you purchased, but I will go back and look again.
Each year, when I put my tree up, I go out and cut some branches from the cedar trees here on the farm. Then I tuck those branches into my tree and they not only add fullness to my tree but they also add their scent to the room.
Butter bee here! My totes used to be packed away so nicely, but a couple of years ago I thought, " why am I doing this"! All of the totes are a hot mess so I am going to go through them, take out what I'm not using & taking it to the thrift store😊
I'm really liking your elegant pink tree❤
I love this Cas. You always have great ideas. I am going to add a Nativity scene to remind everyone of the reason we have Christmas.
:)
So I am with your girl. My home is a wreck for two days. My husband is so sweet though. He just tolerates it and walks around all of it until I’m done and then we haul all the totes upstairs. It has all the previous season Decour in it. I just left Christmas decorating.
I love the picture that's behind you next to the tree at one point. The forest of trees. Lovely.
Rustic upstairs is what I prefer. Last year I put a little green tree in my granddaughter’s room as I babysit her every school day but this year, she is 19 months now, we are going in a different direction. I got a small 3’ tree, put 100 pink lights, pink beads, haven’t decorated it yet. Don’t drive so bought from Amazon and Temu. Need everything unbreakable but of course a couple of the pink bulbs I bought came broken so poo to their shatterproof claims. I have other unbreakable junk coming. I am changing out her room which I had decorated in ‘Where the Wild Things Are’, it was grand and I will keep some things but switching out her curtains and bedding and rugs. I’ve had foam tiles over the wood flour because I am so paranoid but I got these pink fluffy rugs, it’s like toddler glam. A few Xmas pillows that can be removed when the holidays are over. I used to be crafty. Enjoyed the video.🙂
My house remains a disaster for a couple of weeks while I'm decorating. Eventually, I move the disaster to the home office, just off the garage. When I'm certain I'm finished with all the bits and pieces, the lids go on the tubs and all are put back on the shelves in the garage. It's a nightmare, and I can't have company for a couple of weeks. But, I just can't do it any other way. And the outcome is always different and special. I love Christmas!
About 30 yrs ago I started labeling my Christmas storage bins. Not just labels that say Christmas on the outside but a list of what room they go in as well as exactly what is in each box. Yes it is very looney tooney but it pays off when I am able to do one room at a time. Whatever I have in that room that gets moved for the holiday gets put in those bins so when the holiday is over I just put the stuff back where it belongs. It has taken many years to perfect but in 2009 when I was diagnosed with Uterine cancer my daughters were able to decorate the whole house without me worrying and going crazy because I was unable. The rest of the year I am a hot mess but I do shine at Christmas. I also decorate everything before Thanksgiving except the tree. The tree is done right after Thanksgiving so that December is a much more enjoyable month. I have no idea what kind of Bug I am but I am trying to be better in general all year long.❤❤
I think I like the more Elegant Pink Tree but the other Pottery Barn Tree is beautiful also ❤
Our tree (only 1) is pretty much just a place to hang all the homemade or gifted ornaments we've made or received over the years. ie. It's more of a memory holder than "decor". And we LOVE it.
Wow, we have a Charlie Brown tree and I just figured it looks how it looks lol but this is pretty inspiring!! 😃 Thanks so much for sharing. As someone who has resisted buying lots of household decor due to not wanting a bunch of clutter, it's encouraging to see a channel focused on clutter still embracing and enjoying decor.
:)
The reindeer candleholder is awesome !
🐞Ladybug here! I’m actually pretty neat as I decorate except for the room where I store the Christmas decor. It stays cluttered with boxes for a few days while I decorate! I do wrap everything pretty carefully because I have items passed down to me or items that are special. Thanks for the tips Cas!
I wreck my house to declutter an area!!! Lol. About a year ago, WHILE I was 1) dealing with a plumbing issue in my laundry room so ALL of that closet space stuff was laid out on my dining room floor, and that closet is only one of two in the entire place, so picture extra cat food, extra cat litter, TP & paper towel rolls, my empty luggage, my laundry hamper, etc etc etc and 2) I'm disabled so limited length of time when I can do something at once and 3) I was still recovering from my sister moving me to TX (great sister!)
So about bedtime around 1am at my bedtime snack I got disgusted with my kitchen cupboards not making sense (organization-wise) bc I didn't have as much stuff the first week moving in as I did after buying more 2-3 months in ... So at 1-2AM I decided to take EVERYTHING OUT of my kitchen cabinets, then I got tired and went to bed.
The absolute MESS when I woke up the next morning!!!! Was hysterical!!!! I actually took photos of it to laugh at myself to my sister and my BFF!!!
Butttt on the other hand it got done that same day (bc I couldn't even get my morning caffeine or food without putting at least some of it away again off my small counters!!!).
And so I put it away in a very pleasing organized fashion (I thought it was the first time but I didn't like it, so for all you perfectionist people, don't wait until you can do it right the first time bc you might not even LIKE that idea in ur head once you get to using it everyday!!!!!!!!)
Andddd, here's the kicker, I STILL declutter this way, my purse, my drawers, bins, anything!!! I always start my dumping everything out! And I start with the empty space, CLEAN IT, then put only what I want back in! (This is also how I clean out my purse too, lol. The dumping on my bed method lol)
Thanks for sharing!
Just lovely, Cass! Thanks!
I love the upstairs tree! I never thought to wrap garland around the tree and it looks fantastic!
Cas this was great! You are so creative!
All pretty. I like the blue added for a spark of color
I love buying from dollar tree and making it my own. Great job Cas.
I am totally a classic cricket everything is super sorted, and meticulously wrapped in labeled bins. I actually have bins labeled for what room it decorates, I have printed photos of how I decorated an area the previous year, makes it super fast and easy. And my husband kids and grandkids can all help, and they know exactly where to put things. I'm also a professional cleaner and organizer. So fun to decorate a client's home and then set up the system for them as well.
