Making Old Porch Posts into Shelves...

BEFORE:

AFTER HONEY WAS DONE:

I GAVE IT A FRESH COAT OF PAINT:

Hey everyone,
I got to thinking...after the Christmas tree was put away, how wonderful a new set of shelves would be in its place! I looked around but didn't find anything to appealing. I almost ordered a set from Target's Shabby line...when low and behold, I had an idea! Now, my husband may tell you it wasn't to good of an idea, considering he would have to do most of the work! Turns out, he was very kind and up for the task. That is one good thing about being empty nesters, you have a lot more time for projects. Anyway, I had a couple of old porch posts plus a few of those old grape and vine cast iron brackets. I knew they would come in handy some day. I told him what I was wanting and TA DA..I think he did a wonderful job and they came out great! I cant wait to get them decorated! I think new "Grandkids" pictures in "bejeweled" frames would work just great!

Happy New Year to You!

It's Been a Christmas Crazy season!

Well, it's been pretty crazy around here for a few months! Time to finally start winding down the bottle brush trees. I will be listing the last of them in the next few days.
I thank each and every one of you for stopping by and thank all  of you for the very Kind comments you have written to me! I would also like to "Welcome" any new followers to my blog! I have finally started putting the crafting stuff away....You know, right before Thanksgiving my kitchen and living room start looking like a florist lives here! It has been pretty interesting. I really enjoyed making the jewelry wreaths this year. My appreciation is with people that make them all the time, they are very time consuming, but very gratifying.....

So, now is the time to enjoy! I have putting up my tree and doing some decorating. Next project: wrapping those presents for the grandchildren!

Those darn "Night" photos, they never turn out to good.

Well, Henry and I are ready for a little break...pardon my bed, I didn't get it made today! Time to get ready for the New Year! Make a few New Years resolutions...think of some new "Christmas" ideas and of course, time to start collecting!
