Magnetic Christmas Countdown Sign
My kids LOVE counting down holidays and events. My daughter even gets her calendar out and starts counting down to her next birthday...the day after her birthday. :-) To say that we love advent calendars around here, would be an understatement. I'm joining in on a Deck the Home Christmas challenge this week, and the theme is wood signs. I had a piece of scrap sheet metal, so I … [Read more...]
Table Top Gingham Christmas Trees
Gingham has been holding strong in Christmas decor for a few years now. The gingham has changed color combos a little, but I seem to see it everywhere.

I thought it would be fun to use that old top and … [Read more...]
Scrap Wood 3D Pixel Art
A few weeks ago I participated in a challenge to make something with a summer festival theme. Summer Festivals seem to come in all shapes and sizes. One of my favorite types of festivals are Balloon Festivals. There is something magical seeing the Hot Air Balloons light up and float in the sky. I also love seeing all the bright colors and clever designs of the balloons. For my … [Read more...]

I have been wanting to make a board to hang wreaths on, and this challenge was the perfect time to get that done.
