13 DIY Outdoor Projects
Do you ever get the itch?
You know… the summertime itch. Where you want to get up and do stuff!
What did you think I meant?! Ew.. get your mind out of the gutter, Sally. You know this isn’t that kind of a blog. ;)
I mean, sure. If you ask for my opinion, and need my help then yes, I will answer any questions you may have. On the other hand though, I would like to reiterate that I am by no means a doctor.
However, if you have a mosquito bite itch. I’m your girl! I know an awesome natural mosquito bite remedy that will knock your socks off. Seriously, it’s that amazing. In fact, I just used it this weekend. Awesome-ness.
Which brings me back to the focal point of today!
DIY Outdoor Projects.
Don’t you just love them?
I mean, come on. How could you NOT?
There’s just something about being able to wear a tank top, flip flops, and feeling the sun on the back of your neck (maybe even while drinking a beer!) that just makes outdoor projects totally worth it!

May 8, 2016 at 7:11 amThese projects are clever and inventive and look like they were so much fun to create. Cannot decide which ones I like best – the fairy tale signs are so cute, but I gotta say the secret garden seating area would be a blast to use. Thanks for the inspirations!

May 9, 2016 at 9:29 pmWow, all of these are really creative and unique! If had a bigger backyard I would love to create a secret garden!
LZ Cathcart says
May 10, 2016 at 9:30 pmThanks, Reanna! P.S. You don’t need a big yard for a secret garden. I would love to make one in a tent some day too. How cool would that be?!
