I love making Christmas ornaments, especially repurposed ornaments created from something that end up in the thrift store like these vintage Scrabble pieces. 

After making all the Scrabble ornaments I made for Christmas this year I had a lot of tiles left over. 

I was inspired to make this metal angel ornament from an online shop. I had the fun idea to add Scrabble letters and it turned out adorable!...

A few years ago I created some ornaments using scrabble tiles and old clothespins...

Here is a unique sign that reminds me of the  hymn sign at church and uses pieces from my  ever growing vintage Scrabble collection. 

Another neighborhood walk this morning that yielded trash I turned into a treasure. It all started with this pile of pickets from a fence I found on the side of the road.

If it is holiday time, it's Scrabble time! 

I collect vintage games, Dominoes, Cribbage,   Jenga, and of course Scrabble.

Sometimes you get very lucky at the thrift store and sometimes you don't.  This week I found these great unfinished wooden crosses and I knew I could give them an update!

These signs are a combination of 2 different  thrift store finds. 

I'm a lover of all vintage game pieces so when  I found this box of Anagram tiles I nearly flipped!

I think my new favorite place is the dollar store. I feel a little better about visiting the dollar store during these times than the thrift stores. I find something new and fun to repurpose every time I go and today is no different!

Another year of making repurposed Christmas ornaments.

Today I'm dragging out the jig saw.  I honestly haven't used it in a long time but a new friend uses it all the time for her amazing projects so I'm dragging it out of the corner!

If you've been following for a while you know I love to make pumpkins out of anything!

Every year I make a new Christmas ornament using Scrabble tiles. 

Here is a tutorial for a vintage jello mold bell I had great fun creating.

I'm working on another vintage kitchen tool project today. I will be teaching a repurposing class at our local library and I'm preparing a few projects. This one began with a rusty old cheese slicer I was given by a local antique store owner. 

Sometimes the leftover pieces just work.

This one is for all my fans of Dollar Store makeovers!  I took these 2 simple boxes and turned them into something easy and fun to make. One is for the art lover and the other is a Fourth of July decoration you're going to want to try!
