Trash to Treasure projects
Kendra at Creative Ambitions got a call from her neighbor, one day. The neighbor gave her a huge shipping crate! Kendra could imagine lots of possibilities for that amount of wood, but the one that was most appealing was something that would be just for her: a desk of her very own!
