Me Time

I tend to go through crafting moments and this month has been one of them. I think the time to change seasons soon has made me excited about making new things. I know it's not really fall yet. But once school starts I always feel like it is so I put up all my fall decorations. I did at least wait until Labor Day this year, which is only three weeks from the official first day of Autumn. It's my house right so I can do what I want! So I made this orange sign that says "Happy Harvest" and while I was ordering vinyl decided to get a couple more things. I have all these empty cans from my food storage. So I decided to decorate them up and reuse them. It was a cheap fun project in case any of you need ideas for something to do with empty cans!


I also got this bench that Josh's brother was going to throw away. I had to beg Josh to let me bring it home. It looks better in the picture than in real life. It was pretty dinged up and had writing all over it and a couple holes in the back...oh and a drawer missing.
So I sanded, painted and patched and put it in my living room. I really love it! You can't look too close, because the paint job is somewhat lacking in professional quality. But I think it turned out good and once again it was basically free. So I can never pass up something fun like that!
