Project: DIY Sugar Scrub
Bath products for Christmas! Yes. Homemade gifts that are cost saving and are gifts that people will use? Yes. Every year I like to make little gifts for the people I work with, or for people who invite us over for dinner, for cookies, or just so say thank you – like my massage therapist. This DIY sugar scrub is great, plus, the jars are so cute. This recipe is part of the 12 Days of Christmas celebration and is the first DIY project. What…

This Canadian classic travel trailer is truly iconic. The Boler is a fiberglass trailer that is timeless – we got our first one in 2012. And, our 1972 trailer was 40. Yes, 40! Boler Done!

Something new and exciting is happening here at 3ten.ca! About 2 years ago we purchased a 1972 Boler – a fiberglass vintage trailer made in Canada. It’s awesome. We are resorting it to fit us.

You could quit, but where’s the fun in that? These two pictures are what she looked like in the beginning. We’ve only…
