This is my first non-sewing post, but I've been feeling so crafty lately that I thought i'd dedicate one post to all my projects. They were all very simply amateur projects, but I enjoyed doing them thoroughly. Everything was made from scrap wood, chopsticks, popsicle sticks and paints!

My first project was this sign. I found this piece of wood on the side of our house, browsed pinterest and went to town. I love it and the little boy holding it! |

For Christmas, I flipped my Thanksgiving sign around and painted this on the back. |

These next two signs were inspired by a pinterest project. I couldn't follow the original project exactly (a reindeer made of gold glitter) because I didn't have gold glitter, so I made a snowman and candle instead with the glitter I did have. |

The next four signs were made for random family members |

My son "made" this sign for his papa who is an amazing sculptor/artist |

Love this sign inspired by pinterest!!! |
Annnnd that's it! I found with these projects that I really enjoy DIYs and I really love taking scrap-throw-away materials and turning them into works of art. I am completely in the amateur group but I love my simple pieces. I love the creativity and inspiration that comes when looking at a piece of wood or random popsicle sticks and think, what could I make out of this.......
