    Thanks so much for featuring my log slice vase. Hope to expand on the idea this week but have been spending time outside doing spring clean up instead. I am especially inspired by the trunk turned coffee table. That has me thinking! I have an old trunk very similar. Short and stubby.
    Have a great week creating!
