Keeping the Christmas Tree Cutting Tradition

We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a peaceful long weekend, we sure did here.  Thanksgiving was just perfect at our house, but with the passing of Thanksgiving comes the all out blitz to decorate for Christmas.  While we are not quite finished with all the final touches just yet, we are well on our way to making our house a winter wonderland.  Along with all the Christmas decorating, we also go out as a family to cut down a Christmas tree out of the National Forest with a permit of coarse!!

Custom Salvaged Dresser Request Complete

On one of our salvage trips we were lucky enough to find an old dresser.  One of those deals you couldn't pass up even though we didn't know how or where we were going to use it.  It sat in the barn for six months at least when a friend of mind was looking for just such a piece, and asked if we could redo it with custom colors to match her space.
