Wood slices make great project starters

You guys.

You guys.

You guuuuuuuyyyyyssssss.  I cannot wait to show you the magazine when it comes out.  Like SERIOUSLY.  The team that’s here is incredible and amazing and awesome and they wrote the book on how to make a pumpkin look like a supermodel.

There are apples and leaves and things that sparkle and ideas and DIY’s and creative projects and wood slices.  I am so full of joy and creative inspiration right now I think my heart could sing in three-part harmony.

I can’t spill the coffee beans yet on the projects to go into the magazine, so I thought I would tide us all over with some fun wood slice projects.

Drumroll please.

    These are the BEST ideas for tablescapes! I LOVE the clipboard, the grapevine wreaths, and the name tags! Inspired for Thanksgiving! Did I tell you I have FOUR trees down in the yard that have to be sliced?....just in case you need more "Wood" in your life! Keep on inspiring!

    When he was little my brother had a wood-burning kit, like a soldering pen, for etching designs or pictures on pieces of wood. This reminded me of it, and I can practically smell the burning wood. Do they still exist?

    So many great wood slice projects! Who knew??? I have to say my all time favorite is the chalk board in the middle change the wreath for the season wood slice project. Genius! I can't wait to see the magazine spread on your blog and buy the magazine -- so happy for you, Karianne :-)

    KariAnne, I really like your wood slices! We have a birch tree that my hubby has to take down. He will cut me some wood slices that I can use in our home. You always have so many DIY's for us and I thank you! We continue to pray for you all! Have a blessed day, my friend!

    I keep telling my hubby that we need a chainsaw. We used to have a gargantuan one when we lived in the country. Once we moved to the city he gave up lumberjack type things. But we have these trees around our house that need to be shaped up or cut down -- so I'm suggesting a chainsaw. I think I may get him one for Christmas. If he says he won't use it I'll tell him I will. That is a sure guarantee that he'll do it. He thinks I'm a little on the klutzy side :-(. I do have a tendency to run into things but that's because I'm always looking around observing. I really want to make plate holders with a wood slice. You do inspire me. Have a wonderful evening!! Sending hugs!

    These are all amazing wood-slice projects, KariAnne....in particular, I lurve the wreaths, the Christmas tree, and the name tags are such a great idea which carry you from Thanksgiving to Christmas...well done! Many happy congratulations on the magazine spread, too...you sooooooo deserve this! And I hope your baby girls are feeling better and better with each passing day...keeping all y'all in my thoughts and prayers!

    Can't wait for the details on the magazine project. In the meantime, your photos make me want to leave work early to go home and paint my front door some new color. A color that would look perfectly awesome behind one of those wreaths. Geez. That's some sweet decorating sister. We're at the beginning of re-doing our finished basement area. You know: new carpet, new paint, new decorations. And we want to get it all done before Christmas. Zip. Zap. Gotta get busy. Hugs, Michael

    Just curious if I need to do anything to the newly cut wood to prep it or to make it critter free to bring into my home. Would love to try a couple of these projects. Thanks-
