WOW Kathryn ,you really knocked it out of the park on this video. And look at Carson. Oh my gosh, I remember when Carson was born! I even remember before Carson was born, when you were expecting him! And NOW Carson is ten!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CARSON! 🥳🍧🎂🍿🧃🍦🍨🍡🥰 I know y'all are so proud of him and now he's doing his own clever diy's! Next time y'all go to the beach , pick up some free souvenirs (sand, shells, dried sea weed, etc.) and get a clear mason bottle from dollar tree and make a memory bottle to put on your bookcase! I did this when I went to South Padre Island with my daughter and her kids. Great almost free souvenir! I took a picture of my beach chair, my coffee and my Bible where I read up on the balcony and have it to look at when I get stressed. I take a deep breath and look at my picture and my memory jar! Kathryn, you come up with some of the best ideas and let's don't forget Charlie who is always there to film for you! And a special shout out to Owen too, I'm sure he's helping too! I hope y'all have a great summer! I have adopted y'all as my family in N. Carolina! I have kids and grandkids y'all's ages! God bless y'all from Texas! Nana Vivian 😎

I am in awe of your creativity! The way you look at simple things and elevate them to stunning just blows me away. Also, when did Carson get so big??? I still remember little Carson showing us how to cook! His shell idea is so great and such a cute way to showcase a fun memory!

There are several people doing dollar stores, but you do the best job. You have the nicest personality and the best ideas the other ones don’t even hold a candle to you.

Dollar Tree is really stepping it up lately! Thanks Kathryn! Always love your ideas! And Carson's too! 😁💜

Great projects......but I have to say Carson's very own DIY was fabulous! He takes after his beautiful mom with his creativity 😊

Happy Birthday Carson! Great shell hack. The coffee beans in glass with candle are great for bathroom.. think family gathering and someone using bathroom everyone uses.. it helps take odor out and refresh air even after Febreze

Good job, Carson! I love the shell with the moss and plant in it. It would be really expensive in a gift shop at the beach. This one is more special because you found the shell. Beautiful tablescape using the dollies. I love the tall cylinder vase project with the flowers and floating candle. DT also sells a glass jar with a trellis design on it. Pop in a solar light and you will be delighted with the pattern the light creates on the ground 😊.

Use the glass containers with lids for individual servings of pudding.

Great job Carson and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! 🎂

Happy Birthday, Carson! You & your Mom are so talented, sweet, & cool! I love your DIY❤

The splatter screen decor hack has got to be a new favourite of mine!! Love it!! I’ve got my 3 year old daughter coming to me saying “Dollar Tree trip Mommy? Let’s get crafty!” ❤️

These are such WONDERFUL and original ideas for bridal and baby showers; not to mention weddings!!

Coffee beans+candle .. CAN'T wait to create😍 I use the jars/lids for smoothie ingredient storage!? I love how chic they look😊 ALL just fabulous..ty ❤

Oh my, I 'm so glad they have the heavy duty 12 oz octogon glasses with the lids! They are great for freezing bone broth or food storage ! Happy belated birthday Carson!

I’ve been craving some sweet DIYs! Thanks Kathryn! Also, you can use the parfait jars for all different kinds of trifle. Usually, trifle has a cookie or cake base (broken up into pieces) with layers of similar flavored pudding and whipped cream! As many layers as you can fit. I love the idea of a brownie or snickers trifle, but you can also do fruity ones like raspberry or lemon! You’d be amazing at it.

The glassware at 4:46 that you use for oatmeal I use at work to store mints and chocolates. It's my little stash of goodies I keep on hand and they fit perfectly in the drawer.

These are great! I made the candle holder with the splatter screen for my parents 60th wedding anniversary. They turned out beautiful!

Love it when you feature these really simple, common objects in fun, new ways! Thanks Kathryn!!

I just wanted to add something. The cupcake stand idea you had @ 1:43 is amazing but all I was thinking was that when you move that bottom bowl your beach scene would get messed up (I understand you want to be able to change it) but if you want to keep that scene you can add some epoxy or UV resin to the bowl over the sand and it will not only keep it in place but it will also look like water. There is also this product called “scenic water” that can also be used to mimic water. It can be found in most craft stores where they keep the supplies for train sets, doll, houses, or dioramas. Also, resin can be used in a lot of these projects to keep the items in place in whatever you’re making so that when you move the items don’t get displaced or shifted. I hope this helps. GREAT VIDEO! You’re the best 😊👍 Dee

The last one was really elegant and could be gorgeous for a wedding centerpiece.

I used that grey charger plate to make an accent mirror with a 7 inch Hobby Lobby mirror. From DT I used the costal living picks with a seahorse and sea weeds, the faux sea glass and the sand dollar/ star fish all hot glued on the plastic charger plate. A picture hanger or wire rope on the back to hang the mirror. Total cost 10 dollars and it turns out so Costal Living / Boho chic. I sold several to friends and family so far.

I would use the beautiful floating candle DIY as the centerpiece of the tables of my granddaughters baby shower. She'll be here in August.

Hppiest b'day Carson Keep shining , be urself nd always remember tht u are blessed ❤❤❤❤

If I was away from home, away from my crafting stuff, I know I could get ready for a party with your wonderful fresh decor ideas, as long as there is a Dollar Tree !

We looked everywhere for margarita glasses and finally found them at Dollar Tree! They are really substantial and well made and only $1 each!

So Inspiring!! I only wish all the dollar stores I go to in Phily had as many items as you show us or even your store have!!

Loved all the glass decor. And sea 🐚 is beautiful. Happy 10th birthday to your son🎉🎂

The table dressing was so beautiful, love all these ideas! Thank you for sharing!

Woo hoo Carson! Good job.🎉 Happy Birthday young man.🥳🎉🎂 Awesome video. Love the inclusion of Carson. So many kids nowadays don’t do creative things. Arts and Crafts was my jam as a child and still is….I’m going to be 53 in November. Tfs. Have a wonderful afternoon.🤗

Carson is 10..what the what?! I remember when he was so little. I've been watching you for 6+ years. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CARSON!!

Your adorable! The world needs more ppl like you. Thank you for your joy 😊

The splatter guard centerpiece is the wow of this video... saved the best for last!!

I used the Irish coffee mugs, filled with dollar tree flowers, and hang them from the hooks holding up our shelves. Tons of compliments.

Happy Birthday, Carson! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Great job on the craft! ❤❤❤❤

👍👍👍👍👍¡Todo muy bonito! Gracias por las ideas🤗😉

Fantastic ideas. Thank you

Love, love, love the two vases glued together with flowers and a floating candle. And the last one with the roses is beautiful, too. Thank you! :)

I loved your last candle design! Oh yes, I loved the chargers. Infact all of your designs were awesome today! See you soon.

And now featuring ….Carson’s Corner! Love it!! Your videos are always a highlight for me Kathryn 😊

You have a wonderful gift of making anything look high end and more expensive. Well done!

Kathryn, you have such great ideas here today! ❤

I would use these lidded glasses for cake jars. Great for picnics or tailgates as you don't need to woory about a desset getting there in one piece. Easy to stack and chill in your cooler too! Triflesor cheesecakes would be great too.

Wow! Carson’s diy was my favorite! Happy Birthday Carson!🎉

Love Carson’s shell/with plants! Great ideas!

I love Carson’s DIY idea!!! It looks so high end!! Happy Double Digits to your handsome young man 🎂💙

You are so talented and I love Carson’s shell. I have 4 very large sea shells so I’m going to use his idea with them and then set them on my front porch. Thank you Carson! Also, I love the very tall (double vase) candle holder you made. You asked where I would put it…close to my TV on the stand. That way, everyone will see it.🙂👍

Thanks Carson and Kathryn! Beautiful ideas.

Carson is so sweet! Those shells and moss would be perfect to display air plants!!

Beautiful idea Carson! Thank you! I have all these pieces from the dollar tree..in boxes...Awesome easy decor ideas,as always K❤

I use the glass jar with the white lid to store my dogs pureed pumpkin that she likes on her food in the fridge. If you didn't know pumpkin is healthy for dogs!

So many beautiful ideas! Carson’s project was really nice ❤

The tall vase with floating candle is lovely. It wouldn't go in the bathroom, perfect to soak with.

How cute is Carson?! Happy Belated Birthday to your boy🙏🏼❤️The floating candle tower WAS a great idea, thanks so much for sharing and God Bless you all

Happy Birthday, Carson! Thanks for the great DIY. My Grandma collected *tons* of shells while she was alive (that I now have), and she would *love* this. And the fact that I can jazz up her shells without having to glue or damage them is great!!! (Katherine, take note! Let Carson give us more DIYs! LOL)

These Ideas are absolutely gorgeous & so elegant. You have amazing taste and amazing creativity 🌸🪻🪷🌸🪻🪷

Happy Birthday, Carson. Wishing you many, many more wonderful birthdays. Kathryn, you never cease to amaze me with your creativity. Thank you for sharing.

Happy birthday Carson! Love your DIY! So smart! Catherine, love your DIYs also! Especially the ocean one. Have a blessed day! Sincerely, Kristin

Happy birthday Carson! I absolutely love your shell art!

Beautiful ideas! We recently had a tea party that 12 granddaughter wanted to do a celebration of life for her younger sister who died a year ago at age 8. We held it on her sisters birthday. It helped her to continue to process her grief and share happy memories. It was such a beautiful table with many of these glass & other dollar tree designs

The lidded beveled glass with the lids make GREAT GIFTS!!

I used the mini jars with handles for my spices. I used the solid top for all of them except my cinnamon. I used a glass pen at Michael's to write the spice name on the side.

Wow, Kathryn, I just love your Dollar Tree decorating ideas! They are so fun and creative. My family uses the Irish coffee mugs every day! They are so sturdy and useful. Happy birthday to Carson! Your videos brighten my day, my friend.

Catherine ALL of your videos inspire me to think outside the box… continue sharing, I’m sure your subscribers including myself appreciate it

Carson is so adorable! He's a natural with DIY, too!

I have those Irish coffee mugs that are the jars for the jam/jelly that I buy at Walmart 😂 they come in so handy! 👍 & btw 🎉 Happy Birthday to your son!!! I love how he's taking after you & using his imagination to think of great DIYs 😄

Carson is 10?? Where did the time go! Happy Birthday! 🎂 🥳 🎉 I live in Florida and using shells in decor is so popular here. 🐚🌱💚

What clever ideas! Loved the runner made of doilies. You're so creative! Thanks for sharing your wonderful craft ideas! Blessings, Janet

I remember watching you before you had kids. Hard to believe he’s 10. Love all your videos and your genuine kindness. God bless you💖💖

You are a ray of sunshine,the world. Is a better place because your in it❤

Awww Happy Birthday to Carson! He did great showing us what he did! 🎉

Happy birthday Carson! Everything looks amazing Catherine. Thank u

Happy Birthday Carson, great idea. I love the bottle stopper with lights.

Love the hacks in this video. Thanks for sharing❤

I would absolutely love to meet you in person.. Your positivty makes me smile. I look for your videos everyday. You're a beautiful soul.

I would love to see some dollar tree gardening hacks and options for those who do not have a lot of space to grow stuff.

Happy belated 10th birthday Carson!! 🎂🎉🥳 Thank you Kathryn for showing everyone so many wonderful, creative, and beautiful ideas for DIYs. I'm always impressed with what you come up, and you did not disappoint in this video!

Loved all these ideas. Carson, Happy 10th!!! I really like your seashell craft. Great job! Blessings - Judith 🎭 🎵

Oh Catherine this is the Best Idea video yet!! The little hanging lights beautifully done! 😍

Hi! I would use the small glass jars with the lids for mini salads for work! 🥗 I also would use them for dog snacks in my truck. 🐕 Thank you for the continued inspiration!

Luv the glass bowls with crushed white rocks and succulent in water for table accents 😍

Great video!!! Carson’s craft was BEAUTIFUL!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARSON🎉

Absolutely 💯 Devine ❤❤❤

So helpful dear Dollor tree 😊☘️👍🏾thanks for your beautiful videos

Great glass ideas. I have been watching you for years, and I have enjoyed seeing Carson grow up, as he is the same age as my grandson. I remember seeing Owen as a young baby. Happy Birthday Carson🎂

WOW, WOW, WOW....i'm blown away by all the beautiful and creative stuff you made....Love your extremely creative mind.

Wow! Some really great projects! I've done two in the past: the coffee beans in the glass container with a candle in it & the solar light top into the hanging glass container hooked into the shepherd hook. I believe I got both ideas from you in the past🖤

The one at 6.15 I gotta use that when I have a wedding I can just imagine how amazing that would look at the guest tables ❤

The way your creative brain works is absolutely genius! Those table layouts were stunning! Awe, Carson is also a diyer and has an excellent eye for beautiful shells! 😊👍🏻

Love the video! We make chia pudding every day in mason jars so we could easily put chia pudding in those glass cups with the white lids!

This was wonderful. I love, love, love the tablescape for the party. Happy birthday Carson.

I use the jars w/ plastic lids for over night oats too 😃!

I think some of the lidded jars would make cute "portable" fairy gardens for an office desk, or those living in an apartment, dorm room, in the hospital, etc.. Better than giving a card for about the same prices these days.

Love the ideas simple and elegant

Happy Birthday Carson!! I hope your day is full of fun and cake! Love, Pam from Texas

Thanks Carson for sharing your unique way to display a fun momento from a trip!

I store these in the fridge with berry parfaits for the week.YUM!

Kathryn another triumph. Beautiful decorations. Well done Carson,

Super creative! Saving to impress for a summer dinner party 😁

Happy belated Birthday Carson 🥳🎂 love what you did it’s really cute. You gave me some good ideas. Thank you for sharing have a good evening ❤

Happy Birthday Carson !! You have a great knack for style too !!
