"I use the coconut oil to make my essential oil blends or for the ones that are considered hot oils or when using on kids. I also used it for my dry skin and hands. I also use in my hair every so many months. I did not know you could use for so many things. It makes me love it even more."

There are all good ingredients in this liquid soap so I will be adding this to my list.I love making my own so I know what is in it and I think I will make some with lavender oil and maybe some with frankensence oil. This handsoap will make a good hosewarming gift too."

"WOW take a look at these cute sling back flip flops made with hot glue and knit fabric and so simple to make. Why pay the high prices for these in the stores and settle for what is left when you can make them the way you want and design your own. You can even dress up ones you all ready have. What great gifts these will make for your family and friends too. I never knew they were so easy to make."

You can reuphoster one you have around the house or pick one up at yard sale or thrift store cheap the same as the jeans. This is a good tutorial to show you how and it is super easy."

There is an old desk that has been in our store room for years and which could do with some attention. It is quite a small desk and seeing this project has made me realise that it would work brilliantly as a badly needed laptop station on the upstairs landing. I like that it is going to be really inexpensive to make it look good.

This is a very pretty desk makeover that would be easy to achieve with a little elbow grease. This particular desk has a mid-century modern look and the white paint complements the style well. I think it would look really cool to add some gold stripes on the legs. What color would you paint this type of desk?
