Never Too Late To Save

When I was young and just out of high school I didn’t hang around my home town very long. I graduated when I was 18. Just weeks before I turned 21 I left town and moved to San Antonio Texas. I really never looked back other than a few visits here and there. I lost touch with most of the people I grew up with. After so much time had passed I just thought it had been too long to...

I never pass up most any type of container at a sale. I have started the process of trying to organize all my treasures I found from sales and trash trolling. I realized I have A LOT of little wood boxes. So I put my creative brain...
