Welcome to DIY Salvaged Junk Projects 509
Every Friday, 7 PM through Wednesday 11 PM Pacific
Oh my goodness friends… where did the week go?
I don’t even know. Someone asked me if I had adhd issues this week and after some pondering, maybe I do! I thought my dry erase mind was old age related so who even knows.
All I know is, I had two town days this week which can throw my whole routine off. They were fun though! I took in some movies, went to the coffee shop, along with needed appointments. It’s like a mini vacation which I actually really need more of. I tend to bury myself at home without coming up for air so having to go out can be a good thing! Do you tend to stay home too much too?
I’ve also been working on new stencil designs which took up another two days. But I’m excited to get them out into the world and am already firing up project ideas with them. Hopefully they will be listed next week! Soon anyway!
Hmm… I guess I did more than I realize. I also came up with a new filing system I haven’t written about. And I have some new health updates I could share. Since when does a blogger forget to blog?!
I wonder if I should challenge myself to write everyday whether there’s pictures or not… now that would smarten me right up!
I did share that I was starting to clean though… and even set out a challenge for those that wish to clean along side me and with the support of others!
Do you need to be challenged too? Read about it HERE
Since you came through with some gorgeous projects, let’s talk about those! Here’s some wonderful highlights from last week’s party…
This week’s features
Antiques crate shelving by Organized Clutter
Well, this little shelf certainly speaks my crate-lovin’ sign fanatic heart! It has such a nice crisp and clean look to it! Cute AND productive always wins in my book! Click the link for the full details.
Map covered cookie tin craft storage by Pillar Box Blue
What use to be cookie tins look SO much cuter! WOW! BUT…. it’s how the inside is used that is the true kicker! You will think of a zillion things to use these for after viewing! Click the link for full tutorial and the inside details…
Repurposed jam jar ideas by Claire Justine
I heard you gasp btw. I did too. After being planted in the middle of winter, to see this lovely vision of flowers and crisp vibrant colours is like music to my eyes! This delightful post link shares different ideas using jam jars! Something we all have.
Buffalo Checked bulletin board by Homeroad
Susan managed to not only freshen, but completely transform this little cutie bulletin board into a real beauty! Click the link to learn her fabric-look technique!
Salt shaker Christmas angels by Adirondack Girl at Heart
Just in case you need an EPIC IDEA for next Christmas, click through this link to pin this one! My goodness… these are adorable.
Vintage-style image transfers on glass bottles and jars by Knick of Time
Right at the time when we’re all striving to clean and store in unique ways, this post comes complete with some printables so you can get this look on any clear glass you wish! Aren’t they just beautiful?

Thank you Donna for featuring my cookie tins. Hope you have a fab weekend.
A nice weekend ☻♥
Wow great group of projects I’m ready to try a few of them this week! Thanks for featuring me as usual 🙂
Thank you for hosting the party. Enjoy your weekend!
I need to clean and purge here too, but it’s like 25 below so it will have to wait! Thanks for featuring my Antiques Crate! I think I need it for storage around here more than display purposes!
I’m purging too in my house. Can’t wait for warm weather to start on my workshop.
Happy New Year, Donna! Yes, I too spend a lot of time at home engrossed in projects and blogging. I find when I do venture out, it clears the cobwebs and ramps up my creativity. Like you, I’ve been spending a lot of time cleaning and organizing these first two weeks of 2020. It feels so good to start the year with a clean slate.
