Blogs

I love blogs.  I love reading and being inspired by the creativity and overall excitement that others have for their passion.  Most of them are the blogs of fellow crafters, a few are those of my friends, but they all inspire me in some way.

the table-top crafters…

 I’ll be the first to admit that I am totally, 110% blessed in my crafting space. We bought this house 5 years ago keeping in mind that someday we hoped to have 2 kids, and that I’d want my own room for crafting. So, it’s been a long time, but I too was once a […]

Good Mail Day

Now, very rarely do I post two times in one day, but I had to share this.
Last year I spent a lot of time submitting to calls - book calls, magazine calls, etc…  I realized that I was creating stuff for deadlines, not for love.  The one layout of all of those I submitted was […]

 It’s in the tree ornaments, cards, decorations, gift bags and tags, gifts, and most importantly in my heart.
