Restyled Scrap Wood Covered Table I’ve been shopping the barn again. My husband and I made these tables a few years ago to sell at a local garden store. The cut out in the center is for a square planter box. We had these three tables left over, and since it had been a few […]

Graduation Party Balloon Weights
Graduation Party Balloon Weights Things are getting busy around here. My youngest will be graduating in a month and it seems like there is a “last” everything. This weekend was the last prom. I can’t even begin to list, or possibly keep straight, all the activities that have recently occurred and will continue to occur. […]

Hanging Shutter Display I’ve noticed several variations of this display in the last few weeks and it sparked my imagination on what to do with a few shutters I have in my junking stash. The shutters I found online didn’t really give instructions on how they did it, but that has never stopped me before. […]
