Bargain Hoot!

I love nothing more than being introduced to a blogger who shares my DIY love.  And just in case you haven’t met her yet, it’s “time” you do!  Please meet Rene’ from Bargain Hoot.  Here are some of her amazing DIY projects.  Click the links to see great tutorials and more beautiful details.  
This CLOCK DOOR is just too cool!
I remember seeing a holiday picture in a magazine or website and one thing that stuck out to me were the clock ornaments. For the life of me, I can’t remember where it was. I’m terrible with that but on the other hand, I’d need more memory on my computer if I saved every single inspirational picture, right?  That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.  Anyhoot…Clock face ornament and free pdf download.  
This is beautiful to me. I AM making these ornaments. The banners are a perfect clever touch. I even love the little newsprint banner. SO creative and pretty!

Rene’, thanks so much for sharing your creative ideas.

Wrapping Center

Do you love to wrap or find it to be a chore?  I love to wrap.  Jenny from Jenny Free Style is organized and all ready to go.  To make wrapping easier, designating an organized space with everything you need will make the task more enjoyable.  I love her idea.  It beats wrapping gifts on the living room rug, scrambling for tape, hunting for scissors, etc.  Visit Jenny here to see the steps she took to making a helpful workspace for more efficient gift wrapping.  


She even has a helper!
