Recently, with Steph’s help and the help of a few volunteers, we planned and hosted a craft night for women at my church. A search of Pinterest and a picture on Facebook provided the inspiration for our Valentine’s Day craft. I’ll provide some tips at the end of the post for planning a craft night for a group.

​The A-frame 2X4 Christmas tree we made for 2017 was designed to come apart and fold for easy storage. With the exception of the concrete base, the tree came apart and easily stored as expected. Because of the weight and size of the base, we knew we didn’t want to try to store it, but wanted a way to use it throughout the year making storage unnecessary.

We designed a PVC (plumbing pipe) stand that utilizes the base to serve as a garden flag holder! People, at least in the south, enjoy displaying and changing out garden flags to match the season. Although the base is heavy, it’s not so heavy that it can’t be moved around to where you want it. You could even pop it into the car and reassemble it at your next tailgate and hang your team colors from it!

Right after The Home Depot's gift center went up, we got a tour from our local store manager. We enjoyed seeing all the tools and accessories for the holiday season, and also really enjoyed getting to spend time with the manager. He showed us around the gift center, opened a couple of products for us to test out and shared a little history about The Home Depot and his journey with the company. It was obvious he cares about the company and most especially, his Home Depot colleagues!

When you head into your local Home Depot you'll find the gift center near the front entrance--it's not hard to spot. There you will find tons of tool deals and accessories. Check out the front aisles as you'll find some fun stuff there as well.

It's no secret that we like to work with concrete! It's such a forgiving, creative material. I was doing a little concrete project Pinterest research and came across a concrete garden orb. I really liked the look, but I thought the idea could be adapted to make a creepy mummy decoration for Halloween. Also, I had a huge supply of soft, cotton cording/piping from a yard sale that I thought would be the perfect material to use.

Recently, we were asked by Kreg to create a sponsored Mother’s Day project for BuildSomething.com. Being that we are Mother Daughter Projects, what better team to ask than us?! We have purchased and used a number of Kreg products over the years, and jumped at the chance to add a project to Build Something!
