I saw this Halloween Witch idea at Swiss Days in Midway, Ut this summer. The witch was definitely my favorite Halloween decoration I saw. I wish I would’ve written down the booth name, so I could link to their witch, because it was cuter, with a lime green boa. I had fun making this witch, and I know you’ll enjoy it too. Here is a tutorial and template. … [Read more...]
How to replace a light fixture (outdoor) tutorial
Replacing an old outdated light fixture can really give new ‘light’ to a space. My garage light fixtures never really did a great job at putting off much useful light, and then they began to rust. Luckily I saw these cute LED fixtures at Costco for $39.99 (I also saw them at Home Depot for $59.99 with a $20 mail in rebate). Replacing light fixture is fairly … [Read more...]

I also love the … [Read more...]

Got Crystalized Honey?!?!?
Ok ok, so this really doesn't have anything to do with projects, but....My husband started bee keeping last year. It was great, because we got Honey! However after a couple of months, the raw honey began to crystalize.

I ended up getting a changing table/dresser that my mom was getting rid of...or maybe I just convinced her … [Read more...]
