Using Recycled Jars for a Spring Mantel

I wasn’t sure this post was going to happen today!  The weather has been crazy today in my area.  I spent an hour huddled in the bathroom with my son & dogs because of tornado warnings.  It has passed over, for now, & everyone’s safe.  Some bloggers have posts ready well in advance, but I […] Read more…

I finally got to work on a project this week that I’ve had on my brain forever!  Although my kitchen is really on the larger size, someone decided to only put counter space on one side.  It’s also broken up by a sink and stove, which only leaves me a little corner of counter space. […] Read more…
