Vertical Garden

I saw all types of vertical gardens using cinder blocks on Pinterest and just had to try this.  I used a 2×4 piece of wood down the center for support.  I glued on Mexican tiles to add some color.

For the guy or gal who has everything Angels that they can collect, make them a miniature Angels Christmas Tree.  The ornaments are buttons and plastic baseball beads.  I put self hardening clay in the cup and took off the tree stand and inserted it into the cup to keep it upright.

Garden Stepping Stones


My side yard that plain concrete stepping stones.  I found the Mexican tiles on Amazon.  The package arrive and each tile was wrapped and none were broken.  I use Liquid Nail glue to attach the tiles to the concrete.  Once that has dried then I will add some caulk between the tiles to finish this project.  My grandchildren help with some of the lay outs.  Great way to get kids involved.

Halloween Drinks


Have some fun with your Halloween guests this year.  I found the stickers and put them on 7 up and Coca Cola bottles. You can also find glass test beakers at most thrift stores.  I put some eyeball bubble gum or other Halloween candy in them for display.
