As a Special Needs Teacher, I used to teach my students how to shop and about daily living skills by doing field trips at the Dollar Tree! I had the parents place their money in an envelope and we had the students count their money at the register. The customers were upset but I didn’t care! My babies deserve to shop and have community experiences too! Honestly, if I didn’t take them to the store, some wouldn’t go! I loveee to see children at stores learning & experiencing! 💕 How are they going to learn about real life if we don’t teach them so I love it! ❤

Love that idea! I was thinking about adding birds somehow, maybe little plastic ones, if I can find them. I love watching videos of people making resin things. It's so cool. One tip from them is to use a lighter near the surface to pop bubbles in the resin. Bigger or dice projects may want to use a pressure pot for the bubbles.

I saw this on a different video..add sand to clear resin first, stir and pour. You can also add shells once resin is on board. Cover shells with a thin layer of resin.

Really like what you did with the flat canvas pictures by adding a three-d look to them. Clever.

The wave art is stunning! The puck light behind the art, genius!

Hello Catherine and thanks for sharing.❤I hope you have an amazing summer.🌞😊

Love it. On the other side of the ocean, add some sand with resin on the top of it. It makes it look like wet sand. After all that dries, to the edge, add white glue and the dry sand on top of that. It really looks like the beach

Thank you for the fun easy projects, but most of all for your beautiful, uplifting attitude! I always feel better after watching your videos, even given that I'm not feeling "badly" to begin with! Blessings!!

@M00N.L1GHT

Except it didn't cost her $5 to make. She used three canvases @ 1.25 each, command tape - 6 strips @ $1.25 (or more?), mod podge @ $1.25, the metallic chips @ $3.00, and the acrylic paints, which are different from the $1.25 5-pack of tempera paints which she showed earlier. That acrylic set had to have been at least $5.00 or more. So if I wanted to recreate what she made, it would have cost me at least $14.25. And that doesn't include the 'wall makeover's' little light and command tape above it. Sure they are great ideas, but don't tell me something cost only $5 to make when it clearly didn't.

Love it!! ❤️ If you use a thick plastic (even a thick garbage bag) under your project, the resin won’t stick to it once dry. You can peal it off and use the drips for a future project and reuse the plastic. Peeling the resin is very therapeutic! 🤗🥰

@lorila-northrup7748 Thank you for the warm wishes. Her story is actually fraught with drama. Our Beckham decided to choose his own birthday and wanted to come into the world with as much drama as he could. My poor baby started having distressing feelings the same evening she had her baby shower. Just the cliff notes of what is a longish story ~ I rushed her to the hospital. She had extreme pain and vomiting. Tests were run and based on her prenatal care they knew she had eclampsia and they had to do an emergency C section. Ì have to give all the praise in the world to her maternity team. I had no idea how dire the situation was until it was all over with and they let me see Beckham. He was born August 18th which was about a month and a half early. He weighed 3lbs 4 ounces and was in the NICU until he gained the required 4.5lbs. But what the team sheltered me from was the fact that my daughter almost died. She had what they call HELLP or HELPP (Google to the rescue). It's basically Eclampsia on steroids. When I looked it up, the information I read said that only 9% of all pregnancies ever get that seriously bad. But I didn't suffer through what most assuredly would have been crippling stress because her team never gave off any worried vibes or outwardly showed the extreme danger she was actually in when they took her to surgery. Yay team! But, mother and baby are home and they are thriving and that's really all I could ask for. Thanx again for your lovely words and best wishes to you and yours.

Gallery art for decor came out a few years ago. It is fun to see how you can grab or reuse a canvas to do this. You can use real branches and leaves to lay down the base paint ( after dipping them) then accent with foils as well. I have seen some foil sheets at the dollar store before that can be cut up and altered. I moved to a small apartment and I do not have any wall space for much of anything, so my creative juices often mean that people are receiving gifts. ( I had to leave my flower garden behind so my green fingers are always itching to "grow things" lol

As your not wearing gloves with the resin... all resin has voc's. It is a neurotoxin, it builds up in your system. You don't even have to smell it for it to be building up. You definitely want a mask that works for vapor's, have really good ventilation, and have no kids or animals in the room. Especially while heating the resin with heat gun or hair dryer.

I am the cheapest crafter in the world. So I’ve used ALL of DT craft stuff over the years. The last year or two DT has been ON POINT with DIY and craft supplies. I’ve bought ALL my local DT out of their resin. It’s REALLY good resin for $5.00. I get about 40 mins of work time, it dries super clear and bubbles pop very easily. The cup turner is meh though, too slow but I’m experimenting with using it with pens instead. We’ll see. And the pre mixed paint pouring paint is really good too. It’s a really thin recipe but it makes great cells and lacing.

I live in Colorado and very rarely do I see any of the things that you purchase except for resin art supplies stuff like that. The lights never seen him in Colorado and lots of other things that I wish I could have found over the years that I've been following you 😊
