Custom Orders Are Our Bread And Butter At Stuff From Trees!

Custom orders have been the bread and butter at Stuff From Trees since we opened in 2009. We adore talking with customers about what they need, getting to put our own creative spin on things and create a handmade, one-of-a-kind piece for someone special.

It was a blessing to get a custom order request from a local woman this week who needed a variety of cards for the new year. And it came with one of my favorite phrases: “I don’t have any certain styles of colors and no certain phrases or scriptures - I’ll let you decide that.”

Be still, my heart!

We don’t take it lightly when someone gives us free rein with their orders. It’s so special when they trust us enough to take the designs and ideas floating around in our heads and turn them into something unique, functional and just plain fun.

So, in just a few days, I was able to drop off 20 birthday, thinking of you, thank you and get well cards, in addition to the cards she had already ordered on the website. We always offer free delivery here in town to save that shipping cost, and customers get the orders much quicker that way. And this time I got to meet two sweet puppies through the window, though they didn’t seem too impressed with me showing up on their front porch. 

Now is the time to get your Valentine order in, so you can get them filled out and sent in plenty of time. Can you believe that we’re thinking about Valentine’s Day already! Make this the year you send some schmoopy-schmoopy love in an envelope - our cards can be personalized with your favorite sayings and Scripture, making them one-of-a-kind gifts for that special day. 

You can find us at shopstufffromtrees.com and on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter as Stuff From Trees. We look forward to talking to you soon!

Holland Creme - That Amazing White Stuff In Donuts

Image
I remember going to the grocery store every Saturday morning when I was growing up, and my favorite place in the entire store was the donut case. All the glazed, powdered and filled baked goods drew me like a magnet. My favorites, far and away, were the ones filled with that beautiful white, fluffy creme. At the time I didn't know it was called Holland Creme - I just knew it was the most amazing concoction ever. Ever. Here is my version of this sweet treat. You can make your own fried donuts and fill them, or like I did here, you can cut a crevice into store-bought donuts with a knife and fill them with creme in a piping bag. Either way, you're going to love it. Ingredients: 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup shortening 1 cup butter 1 Tbsp vanilla 7 cups powdered sugar 1. Make a simple syrup by combining sugar and water in a sauce pan over medium heat until boiling, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool complet

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee

Crafts For Teen Girls To Make

Image
In our teen girls Bible study, we're studying our way through the Proverbs 31 woman and it's been such a blessing to me, as I hope it's been to them. Every month we spend an afternoon or an evening together studying Scripture, making something amazing in the kitchen and creating something that corresponds to the verse we're in. Choosing the crafts each time can be a challenge for several reasons. It needs to be something they can completely finish (or do most of) because once they leave they're probably not going to work on it themselves - that's just the nature of teenagers. Remember? It also needs to be a project that keeps they're attention, is age-appropriate and is cool enough that they'll want to keep it or give it to someone special. But hey, no pressure on the Bible study leader, right? Here are just a few of the projects we've done together in the year we've been meeting. * This month's craft will be the adorable cross stit
