DIY Club Tutorial & a Tea Tin Makeover
I am honored to be a guest blogger today over at the DIY Club! I was challenged with using some of their sponsored products to come up with a DIY project and this is the result. Would you like to know how to turn a dated burlap shade and a “scratch and dent” Goodwill lamp into something unique […]
The Making of a Sign
I am finally coming good on my promise to reveal some of my sign-making secrets. Before you get intimidated and think, “I can’t paint. I can’t draw. My lettering always ends up looking all funky and like a second grader made it.” Let me assure you that anyone can make these signs. Start off by […]
