My Mother In Law had some old doors in her barn so I decided to find some way to reuse them.  I found a cute potting bench where an old door was used as the backboard and I fell in love. SO.....my MIL and I got to work today and made one ourselves!  I love the way it turned out and It needs a bit of cleaning and painting but will look great once i get all my accessories added!

Silver Christmas Wreath

For Christmas this year I decided to make my own wreath. I found a great idea from pinterest for one here:  http://deckthehalls-christmas.blogspot.com/2011/11/seasons-greetings-wreath.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogspot%2FVJisP+%28Deck+The+Halls+Of+Home+with+JOY%29. I loved the silver on the wreath but wasnt into the bird and nest. so i added pinecones and a big sparkly butterfly instead.  I think it turned out pretty good for my first try!  Only one blister from the hot glue gun too! haha 

My Blog Adventures

So I love to craft, make new things, try new recipes, and learn new traits and thought i would start a blog to document my new endeavers.  I absolutely LOVE Pinterest and realized I have alot of followers and it would be great to share my ideas, finds, etc... with my family and friends.  I do all my projects on a budget and keep the costs down so it's affordable for anyone to do at home. Let me know what you think, or if there's something you would like me to try : ) 

Let the Fun Begin...
