Garden Hose Wreath

The same basket of geraniums have been hanging on the front door for several years and though they are still in good shape, I was ready for a change.  While reading my favorite blog "Between Naps of the Porch" I can across a link to another cool blog. Well, truth be told I have come across several other cool blogs from BNOTP!  One blog had a wreath made from a garden hose.  From there I Googled images of hose wreaths and found pages of different wreath all using the hose as the base. These images made my creative juices to flow.  Enjoy

Rubber Stamp Storage

As the before photo shows the rubber stamps were stuffed into a small box. A pretty box but not functional. Needed a better way to store the stamps so you can tell what was available at a glance.

Along comes Kelli with the solution.  The 13 1/8" x 9" clear 6 compartment box from the container store. Purchase price $14.99 but worth every penny.
