It's time for October's Dollar Store Design Squad challenge and this month we all were challenged to create a fall or halloween theme craft with supplies from the dollar store.
My entry this month involves cross stitch and embroidery, of course!

Distressed Dollar Store Pumpkins with a Crackle Finish
Day 3 of Dollar Store Pumpkin Week! We’ve had rope and glitter and today is a simple distressed finish. The same finish I’ve shared before. Crackled with wood glue and then distressed with a glaze.
The drastic change for this project is really clear when you put the before and after side by side:
DIY Cornhole Boards from Cabinet Doors
Have you ever heard of the game ‘Cornhole’ (also sometimes referred to as Baggo)? It is basically a bean bag toss game using a pair of angled boards with holes cut in them. What started as a beer-drinking tailgate game, has become popular for all occasions.
In fact, a hot new activity to do during the break between weddings and receptions is allow guests to play cornhole.

Summer is Here! End of Year Teacher Gift
I know teacher appreciation week *JUST* ended, but this is the last week of preschool for my four year old, and so we are prepping end of year teacher gifts.
If this seems like a familiar gift, that is because it is. We previously put together a “School's Out for Summer” gift basket with very similar items, but this year since I have my Silhouette, I kicked it up a notch.
The first thing I did was gathered up all things ’summer’ related with my budget of $20.
Here is a breakdown of what is in the basket, and where I got it:
Drying Rack From An Old Crib Rail
I’m so excited it is finally Summer! The kids are out of school and we’re able to slow down a little. It also means that this month’s Power Tool Challenge, is all about SUMMER as well.

How to Prevent Hoop Stains with an Embroidery Grime Guard
These marks, usually left in the shape of a circle due to the hoop are often permanent.
Chalkboard from Dollar Store Cutting Board
Holiday decor doesn't have to be expensive.
These simple little chalkboards were super quick and easy to make. They started out as little plastic cutting boards.
Farmhouse Christmas Decor for Under $20
Thanks to the Chip and Joanna Gaines, the Fixer Upper trend is hot hot hot and it looks like it may be here to stay, at least of a while. And although farmhouse, rustic chic was ALWAYS a popular trend when it came to Christmas and holiday decor, it is easier than ever to find fabulous farmhouse inspired ideas all over the place.
So today I’ve rounded up some of my favorite, INEXPENSIVE decor ideas. Some are DIY projects, and others are products you can get commercially. All of these should put you in that ‘Christmas on the farm’ spirit, that so many people love!
