I was inspired by these lazy susans from Pottery Barn Kids and thought I could make this into something similar that I would love almost as much as I love the real thing..

I don’t know what it is about yard sticks, but I just think they’re really neat-looking.Anyway, we went out to the garage and cut two of them into different lengths like this:.

We made each piece about 2 inches longer than the last, then we glued them all together and suddenly they were a tree!.So simple, but so cute!Perfect for a classroom, workshop, or craft room….

none of which I actually own, but maybe one day I will.And I’ll be ready!.

So those are my “holiday decor hacks”!

It’s pretty amazing what you can come up with if you have even just a little bit of creativity, isn’t it?.What is a successful blog?.

So I guess if I’m going to say that I have a successful blog, we first have to determine what that means, exactly.There are a lot of different ways to define success, but for me, I consider myself to be a fairly successful blogger because I enjoy what I do everyday, this blog provides most of our household’s monthly income, and I continue to get countless opportunities for growth both personally and professionally, just from writing a few blog posts every month!

Here’s how I do it..have a list of the things that I’m going to do for work on any given day.
