Buena Park - New Orchard Supply Open NOW *GIVEAWAY*

There's a new OSH in town!

Look out SoCal there is another beautiful Orchard Supply location in Orange County. Right next to all the action in Buena Park, Orchard Supply has set up a beautiful corner lot spot that is glowing with goodies from home to garden and beyond. 

Grand Opening THIS Weekend!

I was able to check out the new store and all it's amazing offerings last week. In a nut shell, still my favorite do it yourself one stop shop, to get the things this DIY mama needs. 

We met with the store operations team from the behind the scenes to the daily customer satisfaction specialists. Everyone is beyond helpful, knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile to help "it" happen, whatever "it" may be for you!

Drought Resistant Succulents

The entire store is laid out as if it were a new phone and totally user friendly. Aisles have labels and there are unique items that are specialty as well. I did not know that there was a lot of construction that goes on in and around Buena Park, but because there is, this location carries a bunch of durable work related apparel. Yes, clothes, I know! 

In the garden center they still have their no die guarantee, buy it, plant it, bring it back if it does for re planting! Look at all the succulents and wonderful flowers, plants, trees and more that are on hand ready to be grounded!

Beautiful Garden Center

Did you know that Orchard Supply carried Rain Water storage barrels. Yep, get ready SoCal, El Nino is coming and you can be prepared. 

I was fascinated on the bird houses, in fact since it is bird month, I bought one to take home for my kids to set up. They are so cute, detailed and the price is great.

Happy Bird Month!

On a side note, the mason jars that I bought to do my Valentine's Day Craft were $2 cheaper at OSH than they were last year, so I would say that is a win, I always need mason jars!

What I love most is that everyone in store is friendly and has a great personality. It is almost like the service level is that of Disneyland, and well it is an amusement park for fix it and DIY!

Bird Houses!!

I had such a great time on our tour, I am really liking that each store has the same values but their own personality! The DIY and crafts that they are personalizing it with are spot on. I can not wait to see this location hopefully set up some DIY nights we can register to attend!!

If you are local to the area, head over to the Buena Park location, you can check out their Community Board, where they will post what they are doing with and in the community locally. Very cool. 

I hope to be working with Orchard Supply in the next few weeks to bring some DIY projects to my readers.

Duck Tape for ever and ever!

Valentine's Mason Jar Gift Idea

Valentine's Craft Ideas with Mason Jars and some Creativity 

It's always fun to get a little creative with gifts especially around Valentine's!

We love to bake and make so for us these Mason Jars come in handy all year round but are super cute to stuff with fun or yummies.

We got the idea from a craft we were shown at Orchard Supply Hardware last year.

We got all of our supplies at OSH and Michael's. Always download the apps and use the discounts to save.

Here are the steps we took to create these, we will be doing this again this year and filling them with some sweet treats we make!

Stick your stickers on where you want them

When done with stickers, turn upside down and evenly spray with the color of your choice, then let dry.

Thank you! 

Will Need:
Mason Jars
Spray Paint Color of Choice
Stickers of Choice
Ribbon for top decor
and 
Something to set jar on while spraying and drying

Here are a few more to show off some of the fun we had with different stickers and colors! Personalize each Mason Jar with the colors and stickers you know your loved ones will like.

We were having so much fun we made a few extras!

        

 We always have so much fun doing this DIY craft, it will be a favorite of ours forever! I love that it can be changed up with stickers to accommodate any occasion.  

The Cost was under $15 for 10 mason jars, multiple stickers, two colors of paint in small jars and some clearance ribbon. Used coupons on the apps for Michael's.

Another fun time spent with my kiddos making something for someone else... WE LOVE IT!

Halloween DYI Crafting Fun

Get into the Halloween Fun with Crafts!

I love crafts that we can do together. My kids like to make a mess and I like to let them.

Last Saturday we spent a few hours of down time crafting.

It was really fun to let the kids get creative with bright colors. 

Here is a step by step to make a colorful pumpkin wreath and a mini pumpkin! 

* Cut your shapes from cardboard, we used an old water bottle case box. 

* We used the cut out from the circle used for the pumpkin as a mini pumpkin.

* Scrunch tissue paper, the color of your choice and stick with glue or double sided tape like we did.

* Paint your second craft - the pumpkin. After it dries a bit then add the layered curved lines in with more coats of paint to give the pumpkin look to it. 

* add any accessories to your crafts - we added tissue paper to the tops of both pumpkin wreath and mini so that the stem was more vibrant & stands out. 

We got the tissue paper our of our bag of gift bags and tissue paper stash and we used tempra paints that my kids paint with. 

We taped a little piece of string to the back and looped it so that it would hang. 

Have fun with it!

If you craft up some fall fun I would love to see it. Please share on my FB or comments below. 

Happy Halloween
