DIY

I love taking something that seemed useless and turning it into something fabulous!  DIY helps fill my need to create.  When I go to thrift stores and yard sales, I get an excited tingle all the way to my toes!  You never know what you might find and the possibilities are endless.  Every time I go to throw something away or put it in the donation pile, I think about what else I may be able to do with it.  I also like to be able to do as much household maintenance myself as possible.  Like the time I changed out our kitchen sink trap!  It was disgusting, but I felt so accomplished knowing I did it myself.  You never know what you might find here, so keep looking!

Paper beads and strips

Last Monday I posted a pin I saved, that’s been re-pinned many, many times.  It was about making paper beads.  I decided to give it a go!  Now, I didn’t really follow any of the instructions on that pin.  I just winged it!  That’s just how I am about some things.  I’ve worked with paper […] Read more…
