On October 7, 2015 By Em D In Furniture, Interior Projects, Uncategorized

On August 24, 2015 By Em D In Curb Appeal Crafts, Outside Projects

I had a blast playing with ModPodge last week. It’s so simple to use and, though I like to paint things, using MP saves loads of time.   With the new decorative mailbox finished, I …

Welcome, fellow kids!

Hi! I’m Em.

Let’s hang out while I DIY (and occasionally procrastinate) my way through home decor, gardening, and home improvement projects… or share a few thoughts on the topic du jour.
