DIY: Do-It-Yourself has become my Nike slogan: ‘Just Do It,’ to build, make, learn or create for what I would have purchased or hired someone else to complete. Not only am I an avid or some might say addicted DIY’er, but an advocate for saving dollars where possible. Like Facebook and Twitter addicts, DIY’er’s are taking over!! A simple google search can lead you to projects of all kinds on YouTube, Pinterest, Instructables, BHG, Home Depot, Lowes to DIY TV, HGTV, Martha Stewart shows & magazines, blogs, and local businesses and classes.
