DIY Number 2 Eraser Stamps



Stamp, bamp, damp, ba, da, da, damp! Put 'em on your hand, put 'em on your face, no matter where you place a stamp, it makes you feel great! Kindergarden was such a magical place, it made me feel so special! My teacher used to give out gold star stamps when we were on our best behavior. I never actually got one, which is why I decided to do this post in the first place. Now I have stamps all over my face, my husband's face, my arms, his arms, my hands, his hands, and pretty much everything I could stamp with my new triangle eraser stamps. Now, as I sit her stamping everything I can, I have only to show you in a few simple steps the gold ink pass to glory! Enjoy!

How to DIY Body Wash via from Gardners 2 Bergers

Hello DIY land! Today I honor Dove (No, this is not a paid post.) Dove is a product that you can shape, mold, scrape, suds, wear, tear, sculpt, and do pretty much anything you like with. Today, I honor you, great white bar of Dove. I have heard you pleas of loneliness and I have answered with a companion. I call it, body wash and here is its ode.

How to DIY Antique Gold Finish [Lantern]



STOP THE PRESSES! 
I have the solution to the government shut down! I once read a story about a King who turned everything he touched into gold. Most of you know who King Midas is, but for those of you who don't, King Midas had the golden touch. So this week I thought I'd give it a go and guess what, it works! Everything I touch, turns to gold.  Republicans are going to be so happy now, knowing that these wonderful DIY products can and will be accepted by the U.S. Treasury. Democrats will also be equally pleased to know that Republicans are happy and that there's piles of cash to spend on who knows what. In a perfect Mr. Rogers world, gold would fix everything. (sigh) But until we get there, I guess were just going to have to rely on our leaders, until the DIY movement seizes the house, the presidency, and the justice department, amending the constitution so that DIY can and will be available to all. Anywho, I hope you like this project.

[Pottery Barn Hack] Easy Framed Music Sheet

via From Gardners 2 Bergers


Aloha! When I lived in Hawaii, the locals used to say, "Aloha," all the time. The expression really grew on me and I often used it. It took awhile, but I finally learned that Aloha actually has three separate meanings. You can say, "Aloha," instead of saying, "Hello" when greeting someone. You can say, "Aloha," rather than saying "Good Bye" when you're balling your eyes out and saying farewell to your good friends. You can also say, "Aloha," instead of, "I love you" when you're hugging your Mom.

Doing "Dipped Wood" Right- from Pretreating to Sealing

How to DIY dipped wooden spoons


Before we begin today's blog, I'd like to conduct a little experiment. Go ahead and pull your wooden spoons or your wooden spatulas out of your drawer. 

Once you get them set up on your counter, go ahead and throw a few words out there that describe your kitchen utensils. Go on friend- You go first, then I'll go. No seriously, go ahead!  OK, we'll go at the same time. 
Ready.... One... Two... Three... 
ACK! UGLY! PLAIN! POO!
