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, Karen. 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!

ok can I come hang out with you in your secret garden? I can bring the bunny too!!! LOL….Your outdoor spaces are truly amazing!!!
But of course, Christine! Bring the bunny 😉 Thanks a million, honey!
These 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!
Thank you so much, Jelica! I definitely had a blast creating all of them, and have to admit that fairy tale signs are still a priceless fave!

Thanks so much, Laurie!! P.S. I still giggle every time I see your blog name 🙂
Wow, all of these are really creative and unique! If had a bigger backyard I would love to create a secret garden!
Thanks, 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?!
