I was just thinking about you! Hubs cleaned out his garage and woodworking area yesterday. This am, I had to get something in there and noticed our large trash can with a perfectly good under the bed style rolling storage container along with lots of also perfectly good scrap wood pieces! So I dumpster dove in my own house. I washed the storage bin and it’s drying in the sun. My pile of wood treasures will go into it and stored in a safe place in my garage! As I was pulling out the wood, all I could like of was “Diedre would be so proud of me” 😂

What is One Step Paint? Your own recipe?

28# it's a wasp trap you cork the top have a little apple cider vinger inside. Wasps, hornets fly in can't get out.

You posted a sign that read, trust the universe. The Mighty One of YSHRAL/Israel is Who you should trust, as well as His Son, Who is the only way to Everlasting Life. // Anyone reading this who is not saved, ask the Messiah to be your Savior.

I would like to see what you would do with old metal folding chairs. I have four of them and draw a blank when I look at them. Please help!

[renobrat]

Where is the one step pint recipe? Your recipes linked on your page does not have it??

[royanncaswell]

New member here. . .When you print words to decoupage on and rub off, do you use a regular printer with just copier paper? You are so creative, and I loved these ideas. Thank you for sharing!

Project #2 would've been amazing with photos on the lid and on the panels around the sides. I would've then given it as a gift to a mother, grandmother or anyone really. That is immediately where my brain went when I saw it. It turned out nice with the napkin but I would've driven myself crazy on a project like that. I would have to match the pattern all the way around. My OCD is one of the main reasons I have so many unfinished projects laying around. It's horrible.
I also feel your pain on the chair back sign you stated that you regretted selling. I remember the first time you shared it and every time after. I think I love the beauty of the chair back more and more every time. I would love to find something like that sometime as well as the metal step stool and that gorgeous rocker. I have lucked upon a couple of gorgeous rockers lately. One needs a lot of work. The other is very old and unique. I'm still on the hunt for one similar to what you found though. Isn't treasure hunting the best? Some days you lose but when you win it feels so fantastic. Finding craftsmanship, age and beauty from the past; free wood; something you or someone you know needs; seasonal decor; roadside finds; items to flip for extra cash; that antique or rare piece at the thrift store for dirt cheap or the perfect gift - It's exhilarating, addicting and so much fun! Then when you bring it home the fun continues.
I'm curious to know how much you sell the children's building block mini signs for in your area? I realize you are in Canada and I am in the U.S but I would have no idea what to price those at. What do you do whit the other shapes? I use wooden blocks for all sorts of projects. I'm just curious what other things you use them for? Also, adding the pink to the wildflowers frame project was definitely the right decision. I loved that project the first time I seen it but now I appreciate it even more. That frame is gorgeous. I can totally see it hanging in my creative space. 💕

1 step paint ? recipe ? could you elaborate please.

[MaryAnnMakes]

Big summer resurgence of covid. Had it 6 weeks ago. Tired tired tired for about 3 weeks. You must take care of yourself. Or it will drag on longer.

Question: can you separate the votive cup from the crystal candle stick if necessary. Mine is not level (don't know why🤔) and this was my 1st time using e6000.

Also, could you use a rubber tip or gloves to rub off the transfer paper? 🤔

[cindiloowhoo]

Interesting shopping areas. I am in the Chicagoland suburbs. I have absolutely no clue where there is a dump I can go poking around in. I know where a landfill spot is, but is surrounded by fencing and barbwire...

[rpeacej]

I too want to know the recipe for one step paint.

[sandymckee]

What are you ironing the gift wrap to. I know you have modg podg but what's it sticking. To.

[lindah]

On project #2, why can’t you use the poly as base coat under the napkin instead of modpodge?

[KandyKoatedKrafts]

Awww I was hoping this was going to be a new video not the same videos we’ve already seen
