~classic wood prints~{a giveaway}

I want to introduce you to Classic Wood Prints.

Take your favorite photo or artwork and have them etch it into a piece of wood. Classic Wood Prints is a unique art form that blends wood working and photography to capture a beautiful way of storytelling.

And here is the cool part. For every print sold-a donation will be made to Plant-It 2020, giving back to the environment and community by planting trees, providing direct humanitarian aid and restoring forestry.

So, turn that adventurous summer or favorite travel moment into a photographic keep-sake on wood. These are great holiday gifts and decoration. The prints are designed to last more than 20 years without fading which uses a UV ink, a fully cured ink that becomes "one" with the wood that brings out the beautiful wood grains. 

It's a great way to do your part to keep an eye on the environment and giving wood a gift that crease a lasting reminder of your happy moments.

Classic Wood Prints 

is generously giving one of my readers a custom print, any size up to a 13x20!

~thrifty thursday~ {wine bottle vases}

I saw some cute glasses in a local shop that had
been made out of wine bottles. I thought it
was such a cute idea so I went out and bought a cutter and
got to work.

You can use a variety of colors, sizes, shapes.
The first step is to get those labels off.
I found this to be such a pain!
I tried several methods and finally used the method that
worked best for me.
I soaked them in hot water, peeled the label off,
and used goof off to remove the remainder of the sticky
residue.

This is the cutter I used.
It was about $30.00 at my local craft store.
I bought it because it is made specifically for wine bottles

Basically you just score your bottle where you want to cut and then alternate between boiling water and ice cube "baths."
The bottle will break off where you scored your line. Then using sandpaper, you go over the rough edges, and you're done!

You can not only use them as glasses, but also as vases as I did here.

Have a happy day!
