Greetings Sew Woodsy fans! My name is Lauren, and I am tha-rilled to guest post here today. I blog over at The Thinking Closet where share all things crafty and d.i.y…and yes, I even include the messes, too. (Gotta keep it real, yo.)
Katie and I both happen to live in Orlando, Florida, but believe it or not, we didn’t get to meet face-to-face until Haven Blog Conference in Atlanta last summer. Since then, we’ve been to Florida Blog Con together, gave a local Children’s Home office a total makeover, and co-planned a baby “sprinkle” for our friend Rachel. I love it when blogger friends so quickly become real life friends.

So, since Katie is on maternity leave bonding with baby Jasiewicz (as well she should be), I thought I’d pop by to share a round-up with you of some of my favorite projects. And not just any ole projects, but my favorite D.I.Y. gifts!
