“Who Needs Santa” wood gift pile
Just a quick pop-in today with a super-easy and very cute DIY – the “Who needs Santa…” gift pile, made from 2×2 pieces of scrap wood. I cut four pieces of 2×2 wood to lengths of 8″, 6″, 4″ and 2″, gave them a light sanding and then painted them in Christmas colours using inexpensive […]
Scrap Wood Christmas Trees
Amazing Amy and I got together the other week to work on some scrap wood Christmas trees we’d both been pining for since seeing them on Pinterest a year or two ago. I know, a year or two between concept and execution is more Hubby’s speed than mine, but hey, we did finally get around […]

DIY Plant Hanger
