For Mother’s Day my sister and I always try to come up with something extra special for our mom. She loves handmade things (LUCKY US!) and has lots of fun things in her yard. Planters made from tires have been popular for a while and I’ve been wanting to make her one. It seemed like […]

DIY Easy Lightbox Tiles
Every holiday I always struggle to find just the right gift for the occasion. This year as Mother’s Day came around I knew what I wanted to give my mom and mother in law. The gift turned out even better than I had hoped! At Christmas time I gave my daughter a light box and […]
DIY: Flag Pole for Patriotic Fishermen
