About this Blog

     The main purpose of this blog is to share my love for acquiring skills with others. But why name it A Hope Chest Of skills? What does that mean? A Hope Chest is a place for storing items for your future home. Often the items that we put in a Hope Chest are handmade. Thus A Hope Chest Of Skills is the perfect name for a blog that strives to teach you new skills for the not so distant future. Some Topics I will be covering are.....

• Hope Chests
• DIY's
• Emergency Preparedness
• Thrifty living
• Cooking and baking
• Home, dorm, and holiday decor
