  1. Thanks you so much for featuring my shoes! They were a great project – green, cheap, quick & easy. I’ve received so many compliments on them already. I hope others find the tutorial useful, too.

  2. Thank you so much for featuring my paper plate wreath. Your blog is a daily read of mine and I was pleasantly surprised when I saw my wreath in your line-up! Especially with such great projects! Thanks again.

  3. Wow that industrial table is the perfect inspiration! I have an old bench sitting in the yard that looks exactly like that. Gorgeous ideas as always!
