Easy Upcycled DIY Gift Bags
It’s fun to add a little crafty touch to your gift bags, and it feels more “thoughtful” because it shows that you invested a little more time into your gift. I often buy plain bags at the dollar store because you can get them cheaper in “groups”. Today, I bought a 3-pack of yellow gift bags for $1. If you watch for clearance sales at Walmart and other stores, you can often snag an even better deal! They are of course, plain gift bags, but it doesn’t take much to turn them into something a little more special. My BEST TIP for DIY crafts is to buy plaid / gingham…

Quick Weekend Projects: Diy Desk Memo Board
I LOVE fast projects. And, I really like the art of “creating” something new, but HATE tedious projects that take more than a couple of hours to do.

Gardening in Kansas – Diy Gardening Bench Workstation
It can be a gardener’s dream to have your own “Gardening Bench Workstation“… I used to have all my pots and tools here and there, but for 2014 my goal has been to get my house in order and organized. I had been wanting my own gardening workstation for quite awhile, but if you’ve ever priced those, they can be quite expensive. So I prayed about this and awaited to find something that I could turn into my dream gardener’s work area. *Disclaimer: I’ve used my Amazon referral links in this post. A couple of weeks ago I stumbled upon a Baker’s Rack at a garage sale….for ONLY $10! I…
