Home Organization Project 46
It's not really fair to blame this week's home organization project on a jar of homemade jam, but I'm going to do it anyway.

Say hello to my newest DIY project: a 1963 Aloha Travel Trailer also known as "Scamper." I've been looking for one of these… Continue reading Say Hello to My Newest DIY Project
