Greetings, friends!
Lest you think I may have forgotten how to blog, I can assure you I have not! haha
I took on a relatively new-old project this past week that has been a learning curve, albeit a good one! I lost my stencil manufacturer last year, so while my stencil store has remained online, it is on hiatus until I flip it into a digital download store instead. But that is taking too much time. So I bravely opened up early releases just this past week, so I can manually send the files you desire asap!
It’s working! You can get what you want now, while it’s encouraging me to work on files that others desire NOW, rather than blindly starting from A to Z and waiting months on end to finalize. But I haven’t officially advertised it yet, so if you’re curious about this exciting offer, you can read more about how to place a digital download order sooner than later HERE.

How to create a forest scene on furniture
I have SO missed playing with the store listings, and sharing new projects I made, not to mention new design releases! This forest dresser design utilizes two Christmas designs of all things! Yet it’s a cute, everyday look ANYONE can do, thanks to the easy use of stencils!
Stencil designs used: Christmas Trees / Christmas Tree Seedling
I realize digital downloads will not suit everyone. However for those who run their own devices that can cut, or if you know of a person or place that could output for you, this is a very do-able and even more affordable option for many! Plus no more expensive shipping charges you so gracefully just accepted!
And as always, for those who do place orders, I can’t thank you enough for supporting my work! It’s a true labour of love as I use stencils myself to help elevate projects to make them just a little more special!
All that said, I do have an exciting non-stencil project I WILL be sharing next week that involves a ladder in my entryway. It’s simple, beautiful and SO helpful!
Until then, let’s party! Below are beautiful upcycled project features from last week’s party, then onto the new upcycled project linkups at the bottom of the post!
And please feel free to add some additional fall projects from the past you love too!
