Hello!

Did you have a great Thanksgiving?

Now that Thanksgiving is over, I feel like I can really turn my attention to Christmas preparations. Yay! Since my shopping list is a little longer than usual this year, I searched around for some fun DIY gift ideas that can be made relatively inexpensively and in under an hour.

    I love that wood burned cutting board… and I actually have a burnishing tool so I could do this! Cute idea to wrap it with a few treats. I think it would be a perfect hostess gift…

Small Secretary Desk Makeover

I absolutely love painting furniture, but now that I have enough furniture to fill my own house, I don’t paint as often as I’d like.  When I spot a great piece at a bargain price, however, I can’t pass it up.  That’s what happened with this small secretary desk that I got for $25 on […]
