Last-minute 4th of July project. Great way to recycle those sturdy tobacco cans. Once finished you can’t even tell that’s what it’s made of. Tobacco Can Uncle Sam

Another round of gathering treasure from the barn. Yay, me! I’m not sure how long these boxes had been in the barn, but they looked like brand-new, unfinished wood boxes from Hobby Lobby or Micheal’s. They were just too cute to leave hidden in the barn. I also found these two boxes. They were […]
