On December 5, 2016 By Em D In Christmas, Curb Appeal Crafts, Garden, Holidays, Outside Projects

Curb-appeal Craft: House Number Plaque

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

On August 10, 2015 By Em D In Curb Appeal Crafts, Outside Projects

You found me!

Hi, I'm Em!
Did you follow the smoke from the garden cart fire?
Yeah...that was me.

I'm all about real-world DIY...
Meaning the "D" usually stands for "do" ... but, hey, sometimes it's a "debacle" that fills the neighborhood with billowing smoke.

So, let's hang out together while I play with home decor, DIY projects, gardening and home improvement.

The nest is empty, but I live with Mr. D & D and two-and-a-half spoiled dogs in a house filled with visiting kiddos, lots of love, occasional bickering, and a little bit of...dust and dog hair.
