    Being a Brit now in Alabama, I live speaking my mind. Your ideas with shutters are just fabulous, can’t wait ti do one, I have shutters I have saved for years. Now I have a real use for them!! Thank you so much, and cheers to enjoying a cocktail while inventing/re-purposing or crafting!! You are my kinda gal, although I tend to do more with knitting and sewing projects, I love to make neat crafts from other things, or re-paint to make something look grand.
