You can make these DIY Halloween Decorations from Wood Scraps in less time than it takes to watch a 30 minute TV show!! It took me about 10-15 minutes of hands-on time… the rest is just waiting for paint to dry! Remember about a month ago, I was over on Facebook complaining bragging about all …

The whole month of December, I’m itching to share with you guys the DIY homemade gifts that we’re busy making! For the past 4 years or so, my extended family has had a homemade gift exchange. The kids pull a name from the cousin bowl and the adults all pull a name too. SO much …
