Photo Coasters Tutorial {DIY Gift} !!

I came across this great, personalized Christmas gift this year. This is a tutorial from the "Tip Junkie". I thought I would share because this is a fun project for your kids to do as well. You more than likely have most of these supplies on hand anyhow. Who doesn't love a personalized gift?? This is a great idea. Hope you enjoy!

Wood SNOWMAN Makeover!

 I was searching high and low for "outdoor" Christmas Decorations on Craigslist. I came across an ad with this adorable snowman. From the pictures he looked adorable and even better than he was only $5.00! I jumped in the car and went to see him {and a few other things listed in the ad}... However, when I got there the adorable snowman looked completely different. He was outdated and had been an outdoor/front patio decoration for 10+ years. I hesitated and was a little disappointed, but then thought... Well, I'll vamp him up over the weekend  and that's exactly what I did! 
UGLY!





With a new coat of paint, a new scarf and a smaller hat he looked years younger. I'm loving him in our front entry way. His nose lights up the entire area and he is super cute. I'm so glad I decided to take him home!


    Now, he's perfect for our home!
