Last Night’s Storm

Luckily, the worst of the giant wave of storms that roared across Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas last night missed us, but I got a few good shots of the clouds before the torrential rain and lightning hit.

I haven’t heard any news yet about any big damage from last night, but if you feel compelled to donate to the victims of the recent Joplin, MO tornado, this Yahoo article lists several ways to get involved.

Foreign Feature

For the first time in my knowledge, one of my projects has been shared somewhere else on the “blogosphere.”  Evidently, my wood pallet room divider was featured on a Turkish website. Yes, that’s right.

Check it here. If you’re using Google chrome (like me) they’ll translate everything for you. If you aren’t, this is what they said,

“I found a very nice thing made of wood from the palette, beautiful screen Is not been …”

Yes, the translation is wonky, but they called it beautiful! :D

That post is definitely my most-viewed project to date; when we made the room divider I had no idea how popular using wood pallets in creative ways would be!
