Karianne from Thistlewood Farms amazes me with her think-outside-the-box projects. She repurposed an old shipping pallet into a flipping desk!!! What in the world. Reason number 535 why I love that she is a contributor on my blog. Be amazed friends…be amazed.

My kids love Melissa & Doug Wooden Toys
While I love having all of my craft supplies hidden behind these amazing cabinets I built, one thing I have noticed is that, for my kids, if the art supplies are out in the open they are more apt to jump in and create.

This month, Destiny from A Place for Us, decided to finally tackle that old wine crate in her garage and turn it into an art caddy for her kiddos.
