In these economic times, it seems clubs are popping up everywhere for do-it-yourself projects among friends and neighbors. They vary in set up, but a common model is a handful of couples who meet monthly at a different member’s house where the host couple takes care of organizing the equipment/supplies and the meals while the other couples do the work. It can make home improvement tasks once dreaded, now fun and social. With a group of people, you can often accomplish things you wouldn’t expect.

So how about you? Will you be starting a neighborhood DIY club in your area? Will you mix cocktails with paint? How will you do it? What projects will you do? Make sure to invite me and my husband to your club. You definitely want him there…he’s quite handy. Once you’ve had your party, come back and share the details and results!
