Lake Tahoe art with a 1947 newpaper

We found a newspaper from Thursday Sept. 4, 1947 and had to find something awesome to use it for.

So my hubby grabbed a piece of wood left over from another project and went to work. The next thing you know he has Lake Tahoe cut out. 

So I grabbed the old newspaper and decided to highlight it on his piece.

The piece came out amazing. 

Lake Tahoe serving tray

We had a boring old serving tray that had been in our home for a while and was well loved and used. 

SOOOOOO my hubby grabbed some brown paper bags, Elmers glue, a sharpie and some paint and made it into an amazing pise of functional art. 

A bonus is that is that it has the main roads of Tahoe on it.

It has many coats of polyurethane on it to protect the artwork.

Lake Tahoe Guitar

My husband was given a non-working guitar. So he worked worked his magic on it and then the picture came :-)

My husband LOVES to draw and doodle. This one came out amazing, a piece of art that you can use !!!!

Pill bottle veggie garden markers

While getting ready to plant some seeds in the mini greenhouse my hubby made me I was trying to figure out a way to mark my veggies. So I did 2 things. The 1st things was to save all out toilet paper cardboard tubes. Then I put them in the soil and planted my seeds in the middle of the tubes. This way was things grow if it is outside a tube it is most likely a weeds and the worms love eating them, 

The second thing was to grab my old pill bottles and some skewers. I drilled a little hole in the bottle of each bottle and then put it on a skewer. I then wrote the name of the plant on a scrap piece of paper and put that in the bottle then the lid. All done just put the skewer in the dirt to identify your plants. 

Now I realize I can write the main info on the paper inside also, things like watering, feeding, harvest days etc.
