Here goes another “Try it Tuesday” and this time we are making something without following someone else’s tutorial…….holy moly! It all started when Tabitha was at Kirklands and saw the cutest measuring stick for the kiddos. The price was $29.99 and she thought surely we could make something similar for… Continue reading
Everyday it seems like we run a dishwasher full of cups. Okay, I may be exaggerating a teeny tiny bit….so 99% cups. It just seems like a waste of water and a waste of time. But the biggest reason I felt like I needed to tackle this problem is that… Continue reading
Hi all, here is how I made my vase out of oatmeal cans! As I scroll through Pinterest at night I tend to see crafts made with hemp or jute and cans to make pencil holders, etc. I thought why not make a bigger version using oatmeal cans? I had one… Continue reading

Paper trees, trees, trees again……ok, I get it, I guess it might be getting a bit redundant. But in our defense we needed a cute Christmas gift to fill with treats for friends, neighbors, teachers, etc. and I found these cute ones made from cardstock in Better Homes and Garden Magazine… Continue reading
I’m not sure why I think I need a new wreath every year for the front door, but I feel like when the porch decor changes, then the Christmas Wreath must change as well. This year, I was going for more of a rustic approach for the porch decor (at… Continue reading
