Aren't they great????

We would love to see what YOU come up with - just post a link to your creation in the comments section. Here are the items we recieved for our March challenge



If you want to join our April challenge here are the items we were given to use




Yes that's right - an oatmeal container, a piece of jute and a wooden drawer pull. You have to use at least a piece of each of the 3 items but you don't have to use all of them and you can add whatever you would like to it - good luck!
