Ideas For The Yard

No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk!

A bowl I was going to sell at a yard sale....but now it's going to be a Bird Bath!

We started making this today....I hope they like their new house!

Coming Soon!

This looks like a fun project!

I have made the bowling ball art in California.  The balls are cheap to pick up at yard sales.

Christmas Gifts for the Parents

These are the beautifully personal gifts that we had Bill make for our folks this Christmas.  Dad got a valet, with his initials engraved on one side and a picture of his Max on the other...his best friend.  We  had Bill make these gorgeous boxes for our moms because they both wear hearing aides, and thought it would be a wonderful way to store them at night as well as their extra batteries, and to individualize them, added the fleur de lis for Ken's mom, and a rose which carries special meaning for my mother.  Needless to say, they were all thrilled with their gifts, and we were very happy to give them something that would be special to them.  Dad said the only thing wrong with the valet,  was that it wasn't big enough for him and Max to eat off of  at the same time...lol....he is just so funny...

I really want to thank Bill for taking so much time to get the size, the type of wood, the design of the rose and fleur de lis, as well as Max, the finishes, every single detail he worked with me on, and made me feel like I was a part of the process, which personalized that gift all the more.  I mean what do you get your parents, that can really go and buy what it is  that they want...and they don't need anything, so something personal, and beautiful....and guess what.....mission accomplished!

Thanks Bill, you are wonderful!  I would recommend Bill to anyone, needing that special gift, for that special someone, or even if you are looking for something for yourself, and it is wood....Bill is your man.  Here is his information.

Cool Idea

Fun for the kids

This is something everyone will love! Just imagine the look on your childs face when they see this. Fairies in a Jar 1. Cut a glow stick and shake the contents into a jar. 2. Add diamond glitter 3. Seal the top 4. Shake hard This is something they will never forget so its worth a little work on this one. Frozen Water Balloons Just add food coloring while filling water balloon...set them outside or in the freezer to freeze. Great for winter lawn bowling or lining the walkway or drive in winter. Cool idea!
