Friendly Friday-Handy Man, Crafty Woman

I love this blog that is taking over today-such a fun couple with so many great ideas...I'll let that Crafty Woman tell you a little about them-then you really should go check them out!

Hi, I'm Laurie from Handy Man, Crafty Woman. Thanks so much to Tiffany for having us guest post on her pretty blog! She has some great ideas. I just love all of her crafts, especially kid's crafts, that she does with her four children.

My husband Rob and I started our blog in 2009. We have one son, and we live in New England.

We've been married for 13 years, and the house we live in now is the third house we've renovated.

One of our favorite projects in our current home was renovating our stairway. We tore out walls, ripped up carpet, and rebuilt the whole thing! It was a lot of work, but we're not afraid of hard work.

Our first house was built in the 1830s; our second house was built in the 1860s. We pretty much gutted and renovated those two houses inside and out. We tore down plaster, sanded floors, put up new trim, and painted, painted, and painted some more. It's a good thing I have a "Handy Man". Rob used to work in construction, and all of the work we've done on our houses has taught us so much. If we don't know how to do something, we look it up and read about it first, then we dive right in.

Our current house was built in the 1990s. Yes, this time we have a "new" house! However, it was quite a fixer-upper and a challenge.

The yard needed a lot of work, too. Over the summer, we put in a stone pathway.

I love to scrapbook. Rob refinished a kitchen island as a scrapbook table for me.

In addition to scrapbooking, I like to make simple crafts, like these decorative tags.

There is always something to organize around the house, like our pantry.

We also like to share recipes on our blog, like these Wicked Good Brownies. I made these brownies, but Handy Man actually does a lot of the cooking!

Thanks so much, Tiffany, for having us guest post on your blog. It's been so much fun to get to know you!

Thank you Laurie! :)
