Earth Day, on Tuesday April 22nd 2014, aims to inspire awareness and appreciation for the earth’s environment. Since saving unwanted wood and materials is the core of our business, we think it’s a great month to celebrate all things green!

But it hasn't really felt like Autumn until this past week, the weather is cooler and the leaves in my neck of the woods have just started to fall. So it felt pretty natural to highlight a couple of the Autumn themed tutorials linked up from last weeks linky party.
