    How to Make A Simple Back to School Sign

    It’s hard to believe the Sum­mer is already com­ing to an end. Here at the home­stead we have been doing all of the end of Sum­mer things, putting up the gar­den veg­gies, shop­ping school sup­plies and plan­ning for all of the back to school fes­tiv­i­ties. It got me to think­ing about all of the cute and cre­ative ways teach­ers can dec­o­rate their classrooms.That is where the idea of this sim­ple back to school sign came to be. This lit­tle cre­ation would make a cute piece for a bul­letin board, a desk or some­where in a classroom. If you want to…

    R+R Home Spring Open House 2022

    This first quar­ter of the year has been a whirl­wind! I am not even sure how we are already cel­e­brat­ing our first Spring Open House! This is our first open house event since Christ­mas and we were ready to cel­e­brate the best way we knew how!

    Dollar Tree DIY Vintage Card Catalog

It is hands-down one of the cutest dol­lar store makeovers I have done to date! In my opin­ion anyways. You will be blown away at how easy this Dol­lar Tree DIY was and if you are a vin­tage lover like myself, this will scratch your itch. It all start­ed with these cute lit­tle wood box­es I found in the craft sec­tion. They had some gener­ic shapes cut…

    Simple DIY Nativity Using Cinnamon Sticks

    I orginal­ly shared this project over on my Face­book page. It was such a hit I decid­ed to write it down step for step for easy ref­er­ence lat­er. Go ahead and save this one to your Christ­mas Pin­ter­est board…you will thank me later!  It all start­ed with a piece of scrap­wood or you can get a pre-cut wood block HERE and my favorite shade of white, Alabaster by Sher­win Williams. After paint­ing my wood block I cut a piece of hym­nal paper in a basic house, or in this case, sta­ble shape. This step can eas­i­ly be sub­si­tut­ed with an old…
