5 Things You Never Knew About Our Bloggers

It’s been awhile, so I thought I’d check in with our BLDG 25 blog team to find out even more about this creative, inspiring group of women. Brigette, Jemma, and Julia sat down to answer a few questions about themselves and things they love, and once you read them you’ll have even more insight into what makes our bloggers the people they are.

It’s a little more invoved than a lot of DIYs I’ve seen lately, but with something like a tent, I’d say that’s expected.

Cute, Creative, And Cool: Little Free Libraries

Little Free Library is a free book exchange carried on through hundreds of cute, tiny libraries nationwide. I love the idea of book exchange.

You can learn more about where to find one of these charming exchanges near you, or even better how to start your own, by visiting the Little Free Library website. (BoingBoing)
