It’s been quite some time since I’ve completed a real DIY project.  I tend to lean into the decorating side of this blog more than the DIY side.  Probably because a real DIY project usually involves tools.  And my husband.  I have yet to really master power tools, so it’s just easier for me to shop and decorate than it is to get out the power tools and make something… #sadbuttrue BUT, my friend Jenna started a really fun Back to Basics Blog Hop that is encouraging me to get a little out of my comfort zone, use some power tools, and make something.  See the bottom of this post for some really cool, simple DIY ideas from some of my blogging besties!  So, I decided on a DIY Charcuterie Board, because who doesn’t love a Charcuterie Board"!
Now, I’m going to assume that you know what a charcuterie board (pronounced: shahr-cute-uh-ree) is, but just in case you don’t here goes:  Charcuterie is french for dry meats.  A charcuterie board is a board with an assortment of meats, cheeses, crackers, fruits, nuts, olives, etc.  Basically, we’re talking about a fancy snack platter, mmmkay"

Later this week, I am going to focus more on the actual ingredients of a charcuterie board, but today I’m going to teach you how to actually make the board.  As in the fancy board that we put the snacks on…got it"
