My Spring Project ~ Tool Shed

Ok, so everyone is on Pinterest right?! That is where I get all my cool ideas. My husband wishes I never would have found Pinterest. I know that sounds harsh… but I really think it’s true. :)

I get goosebumps just thinking about how cute this will be when: the door is fixed, the windows (which I need to get the glass panes put back in and frame worked on) are in, the paint is scraped off (I do like the color and plan to get the same) and repainted, It gets a new roof with water drain, and is stabilized on it’s foundation.

Whew!  It does need a lot of work… minor really for how beautiful it will become in a short while. Oh! And… Jaryd my 12 year old son is making me two window boxes, one for under each window. After a few other details are looked after it will be to die for.

After my projects are completed my husband usually admits it really does look nice. This is for his yard tools too…  so it really was a good find?!  :)

What’s your spring project?

Outdoor Wedding Decorations – Canning Jars & Candles

This is a really inexpensive way to light up your yard! You can get canning jars at yard sales, second hand stores and probably from friends you know.  We  put sand in the bottom for the wax to drip into but you might not need too.

Next time I think I’ll just try letting the wax drip into the jar. It was almost impossible to get the wax and sand out of the jars.  Don’t plan on using them for canning again. I put ours in a box labeled “to be used for weddings”.

I think I have mentioned this before but the wax candles really seem to put off more light than the battery operated ones do.
