Hello everyone! I'm sorry for posting this Tuesday's Treasures a little late today and for not being online as much as I usually am. I decided to take a week off from furniture projects so I could catch up with…

Is it snowing where you are today? Even though it's mid-March here in upstate New York, we're enjoying yet ANOTHER snow storm today. It's days like these that I wonder why I live in NY. Lol! On a much more positive…

What could be better than a lighted hutch -a huge lighted hutch painted black and distressed to give it just the right feel? Yes indeed, you're right! This is my first ever black hutch. This hutch may look average size,…

One of the many ways that we've continue to be blessed is by old friends who encouraged us in this adventure called FunCycled. This week's Tuesday's Treasures comes with a lot of memories for me. When I was a little…

Hi All! If you're anything like me this week you MAY start thinking about wrapping the presents. Maybe, just maybe... or you may wait until the night before and put everything into bags instead. I highly recommend wrapping your gifts while "watching"…
