I received product and compensation for this blog post and had a lot of fun!

In honor of the great craft swap Wayfair sent me a set of cutting boards and challenged me to repurpose them. I can’t count on one hand the ideas that went through my head, what to do with these?? I was just hoping that it wouldn’t turn out to be a big belly flop!
