My Life as a DIY Wannabe
A neighbor of mine asked me to paint a mirror for her mother’s bedroom a couple weeks ago. I have to admit, I was kinda nervous about painting this gorgeous mirror (don’t mind the dog or mess in the photo)! It’s always hard doing a project for a friend, but I wanted to help! My “client” [...]
WOW, what a year! I went “live” with this little blog back on May 23rd as a way to record my DIY projects while my hubby was off working nights and weekends. I could have never dreamed that 7 months later I would have over 700 Facebook followers and a daily average of about 5,000 [...]
