This is a little spice rack I found at a garage sale. The person obviously smoked because it was covered with what I know was yellow nicotine. It took a lot of sanding, but after it was cleaned up, I think it turned out cute.

I use it for crafting items.



This is a kleenex box cover I also got at a garage sale. It was VERY ugly when I got it. Amazing what a little paint can do.


Again, I found this jar at a garage sale, and it was even uglier than the kleenex box cover, if that's possible! We use it as our gum jar now.

My Country Chickens...

I just love these chickens. This is probably the hardest jigsaw creation I've made, because all of the little pieces of each chicken are cut individually, then wired onto the piece as a whole.

Thanksgiving.....

Here's a Thanksgiving Turkey I made. Cut it from 1/2" pine, sanded, and painted it.

Christmas Crafts......

Here are a few of my jigsaw creations for the Christmas season. Each of these I cut using my jigsaw and then painted.
