Barn Wood Signs

Lucky enough to find scrap barn wood?  Make a few signs.  Stencils make it much easier to paint, but freehand is fun too.




Simply cut pieces to the size you want, using a saw (and of course using eye and hand protection).  Sand the boards if needed.  Paint.  Allow them to dry.  These were created for indoor use only.  Embellish your signs to personalize them.

These make wonderful gifts!

Plastic Lids ~ A New Use

It's been a while since I posted on here.  I apologize to all of my followers. 

If you preserve food yourself, and have canning jars and lids on hand, you'll like this idea.

You'll like this idea especially if you make our own lotions, butters, and other items you might use daily.  I have my homemade hand lotion in canning jars with regular lids/rims.  I find taking the lid off and on is cumbersome, and I really didn't want to spend extra money to buy one-piece lids.
