I have another aluminum can craft for you today! Today’s tutorial is for round soda pop can coasters.
Husband and I often work at our computer desks with a coffee mugs or water glasses in front of us. Anything on the desk is fair game to be used as a coaster because we don’t want to ruin our wood desktops. As you can imagine, that doesn't always work well because spilling things is my superpower. Paper envelopes pulled from the recycling bin make lackluster and sometimes soggy coasters.
Let’s fix that.

18 Awesome Playhouses You Have to See to Believe!
I think one of the best thing about being a parent is being able to build your child a playhouse or tree fort. Sure, you can buy your kid one of those little plastic huts at the toy store and call it a playhouse. But why when there are so many crazy fun and unusual playhouses out there to build instead?
How fun is this little crooked house on A Place Imagined? A former Disney artist built this whimsical fairy playhouse from found materials.
Pin this post for inspiration!

Mother’s Day Tool Giveaway with WORX Tools: 3 Winners!
One of the benefits of living in a condo is having a homeowner’s association that mows our yard. Unfortunately sometimes the lawn guys are more about doing the job quickly than accurately. Husband and I figure it time to invest in lawn tools so we can trim and tidy up the edging the lawn service hits and misses.
Husband and I checked out the WORX 20V MaxLithium GT Trimmer/Edger/Mini-mower and it’s pretty neat. It take the place of three power lawn tools in your garage, a grass trimmer, an edger, and a mini-mower, very nice for those of us with limited tool storage space. The other feature Husband and I appreciate is the how easily the telescoping shaft adjusts to the user’s height. When it comes to yard work Husband and I trade off jobs as our schedules permit (and who gets tired of wonky edging first.)

Recycled Kitchen Cabinet and Wood Pallet Workbench
I needed a workbench in the garage. I also wanted one place to store all of my tools in my workshop. I’m low to the ground at 4’11”. It makes more sense to store my tools in my workbench than above the workbench on shelves or peg board.
Originally my plan was to buy matching bathroom cabinets at the Habitat Restore since bathroom base cabinets aren’t as tall as kitchen cabinets. I would finally have a work surface that is at the correct height for my size!
Change of plans. Free is good.

Pin this idea for later!
Father in law said there were two mismatched kitchen base cabinets that have been forgotten in his garage for years and offered them to me. Change of plans. Free is good.
