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!

Turn a Yarn Box Into a Gift Box

Way back in 2016 I did a similar post about re-purposing a tea box for a care package. This […] Read more…
