Welcome to Classy Sassy DIY and More

Hi friends and family. Yes that means you. My name is Angie and I'm starting this blog to bring you information on DIYs and other projects for your home that will be cost effective and fun. 

Let me tell you about our little family 
I am a busy wife of almost 21 years. My husband (Marty) is amazing. He works hard and is an amazing dad to our 2 children. He's a restaurant manager and is a great handy man. I swear he can fix anything.  We have 2 children, as I said. Our son (Bub) is 20 and is going to college to be an engineer. He also works at one of our local Kroger stores. He really enjoys his job in the produce section. Our daughter (Sis) is 9 (10 in Sept).  We adopted her when she was 3. She is our sweet, sassy, wild child. She's got a heart of gold but as most kids at her age, she likes to test her parents nerves. She loves music and video games, just like her big brother. I work a full time job at one of the busiest veterinarian clinic in our area. I'm the head receptionist there. I love my job and the people I work with. I've been there for 11 years. We have 1 dog, 2 cats and a bearded dragon. To say we are a busy family is an understatement but, we love to go camping, hiking, play games (table to and video games).  We enjoy spending as much time as possible together as a family but with 3 of us working and the other in school we don't get to spend as much time as we would like together. That's the reason for this blog. I want to not only share some great tips and DIYs with you but also spend more time with my family. I plan on posting a new blog post every Monday and Friday. You can sign up for my emails to remind you of new posts. Please also feel free to leave comments or send me an email. I'd love to hear from you and get your feedback on any post I make.

Now let me share with you the kind of things you can expect from this blog.


I love the Dollar Tree and go there at least once a week. It's my most favorite place to shop for my home, my camper and for anything else. My town has 3 Dollar Tree stores and I'm so excited because they've just turned one into a Dollar Tree Plus. Now, my stores are relatively small and don't always have some of the items that the larger ones have but they still have amazing finds. Going there and seeing all the new seasonal items and the new items for the home is always a lot of fun. Of course, my favorite sections are the crafts, home decor and the storage areas. I also enjoy finding new ways to use different things throughout the store. I also like using things for different purposes than what they were intended for. In this blog you'll see that I use a lot of Dollar Tree items in most of my crafts and home decor and organizing. I can't wait to show you some amazing ways to use these products. 

I also shop other stores for items I can't get at Dollar Tree. I love Dollar General, Amazon, 5 below and Walmart. I will always be sure to let you know where I get all my items and will hopefully have a link to get the items sent right to you. 

So, welcome to you my new friends and family. Can't wait to hear from you and get to know you as we take this journey together.

A Tip to Help With Chaotic Cleaning

Welcome back friends and family. Today we are gonna combine cleaning with a little crafting.  How many of us, while cleaning house, find things that belong in the kids rooms or the living room or the bathroom or even your room?  Well, in this post I'm going to show you how I've taken steps to combat this because this drives me crazy when I already clean like I have ADHD. Now I'm not saying anything negative about ADHD because both my kids have been diagnosed with ADHD so I understand how this can affect someone and their lives. I'm simply saying that when I clean I cannot stay focused on a task because I'm constantly picking things up and going to another room where I see something else that needs to be done and I start working on that, etc. I then forget to go back and finish what I've already started. I still struggle with this every time I clean but this little tip/trick has helped a lot. I also call this "Chaotic Cleaning". I have found these great...

Using Dollar Tree's LA's Totally Awesome

Welcome back friends and family. Did you know that Dollar Tree's LA's Totally Awesome brand has a ton of products for your home?  There is everything from the original cleaner (yellow stuff in the bottle) to laundry detergent to bathroom cleaner.  I just got some of the original cleaner last weekend and I've got to tell you it is totally awesome.                              (This is a stock photo taken from Dollar Tree's website.) I did some checking around and have found that this can be purchased at other retailers and other online store but it is more expensive and you get less product. This bottle here is $1.25 for 32 Fl. Oz. Or 12 for $15.00.  You can get 2 bottles of the exact same thing on Amazon but they are currently $10 but it was $14.99.  I love Amazon and shop online all the time but why pay $5 when I can pay $1.25?  Again I love to save money and do things with a...

Quick and Easy DIY Decor

Welcome back friends and family. Today if like to show you a quick little DIY. I found this  little sign at Dollar Tree a few weeks ago and thought it was cute as is but wanted to make it just a bit better.  Now, like I said, this is cute as is and can easily be placed on a shelf or a tired tray and be perfect for you. I wanted it to be a little extra. I removed the flower but will keep it for another project. It came right out without any extra tools or anything.  The next thing I did was to sand away any rough surface around the hole. Once that was done I used just a regular black sharpie and put dots and small lines all along the outside of the letters just to make them stand out just a little more. I think it really made the letters pop and made it look just a bit more high end.  I found this really cute garland with wooden beads and these little circles with sailboats back when Dollar Tree had all their nautical décor out at t...
