DIY
This week on the blog we only shared one post, since we’re traveling!
But it was a fun one!
I took packing paper that I had been saving and made it into home decor for free!
I hope you’ll take a few minutes to hop over and see how I made an adorable basket!!
It’s super cute and I think it looks like I bought it from the store!!
