Believe it or not, I found some of those wooden bunny cut-outs at the Dollar Tree. Most of the time, I seem to miss all of the good stuff but not today. I went ahead and grabbed a couple of them. I had a specific project in mind and I knew if I had an extra bunny or two it would be a fun project for me and my granddaughter. Here are the supplies needed for this Dollar Tree Easter bunny craft project.

Have you been to Hobby Lobby lately? I love strolling through Hobby Lobby to see all the new seasonal items. It always gets my mind going about things that I can create at home. It seems that carrots are a big "THING" this Easter season. They have the cutest ones out on their shelves and they look so cute and farmhousey. Is that even a word? Anyway, I just knew that I wanted to make some carrots of my own. Fast forward a few days and I'm asking Mr. Possibilities to cut me some scrap wood to make some carrots of my own. Here's what he came up with. I love how he made them in slightly different sizes and...
Why oh why, do I have a Dollar Tree addiction? It’s true, I do! In fact, I head to Dollar Tree almost every weekend to see what’s new in Dollar Tree land. That really says a lot since I typically have to travel to Asheville which is a good 45 minutes away. I live in a VERY rural area and Dollar Tree just isn’t here. Truth be told, a lot of things aren’t here. We’re lucky to have a Walmart and a Rose’s Department Store but, that’s about it. As a result, Saturday tends to be my shopping day where I venture out to the “big city” and nine times out of ten, I find myself heading to Dollar Tree....
Life is filled with simple pleasures. One of my simple pleasures is finding scraps or discarded items and turning them into something decorative or functional. That's exactly what I did with this leftover MDF that was in the scrap pile in my hubby's garage. I had Mr. Possibilities cut me four 6" x 6" squares out of the scrap. I also asked him to cut me four little bases so that I could make four free standing signs. With Easter right around the corner and an upcoming craft show, I knew I could turn these into a simple Easter bunny sign. The first step was to paint over the MDF. I actually enjoy painting MDF like this. It covers really...
Do you have an obsession or perhaps a guilty pleasure? I hate to admit it but, I do. I totally have an obsession for chairs. I mean, who doesn't love a good chair? Right? When I am out thrifting, chairs are plentiful! If I go home with nothing else, I can ALWAYS find a good chair. I love all kinds of chairs. I love a good solid wood chair with lots of vintage patina. I love a freshly painted chair or even better a chair with loads of chippy paint. Then there's the wing back or upholstered numbers! They are fun too. Hmm, I do love chairs! One of my favorite kinds of chairs to score are chairs that are solid and...
