DIY Wall Shelf with Hooks
This DIY wall shelf with hooks was made entirely from scrap wood so my only expenditure was for the hooks themselves. You can make your own in less than an hour! How were your Thanksgiving/Black Friday festivities? I hope everyone had a fun family weekend? As a general rule, I prefer to do my Holiday […]
Tooth Fairy Box
Using two pieces of scrap wood, I was able to create this adorable Tooth Fairy box to keep baby’s first teeth. My girls are too old for the Tooth Fairy. They won’t admit it because they still want the cash (and they are still losing molars), but even my 10-year-old gives me a skeptical look […]

So we’ve all heard of “pot heads” right? Either in the form of marijuana smokers or those ugly chia seed heads that are advertised at Christmas – but have you heard of pot feet? Little stands to keep your garden pots off of your deck or floor. I came across pot feet a couple of […]

DIY Wood Moose

I don’t care, he’s the moosiest moose I know – Marty Moose. (did you get that? Maybe I’m showing my age?) It started because of […]
Let It Snow Raised Letter sign
Being a blogger has A LOT of advantages. A few disadvantages, but far more advantages than not. Case in point – a friend of ours was getting rid of these wood letters: What do you do with a mishmash of letters that you no longer need/want? You give them to your local (and favourite) blogger! […]
