DIY Wedding Decor: It Doesn't Have to Lonely DIY Danger I was first struck with DIY fever in the summer of 1984. It was the summer before I started seventh grade and I was awkwardly straddling the divide between childhood and teen life. Aside from afternoons helping my parents in our family’s flower shop and trying to find common ground with my younger siblings, there was not a lot to entertain me in the sleepy town of Roseboro where we lived.
