Gonna get brave!

So Etsy.com has some creative stuff. These are actually necklace pendants made from scrabble tiles! I thought this would make a great gift for my niece, who's birthday is coming up on Valentines Day. I don't know what overcame me, but I went to Michael's and found most of the supplies, but only after lots of research. There's a cheap way to do these, then a real way. Thanks to some awesome guy on You Tube who makes resin jewelery for a living, I now know how to do this the real way. But only after watching 3 very lengthy, detailed videos.

COULD IT BE??

So for once, here's a post that isn't about some adventure, or about some cleaning/organization project! (Although my office got a makeover... another time perhaps.) I was asked to put together an invitation for a baby shower, and I had so much fun doing it that I felt bad for charging. The green one was decided on, but, surprisingly I like the purple one the best. I don't even like purple, or pink for that matter. Maybe it's the color combination.


















So now I'm inspired to consider a crafty kind of project. Have you noticed lately everywhere you look it's all about silhouettes, flowers and birds? Maybe not you, but I have. This stuff is everywhere, and I kind of like it. I have a closet full of square pillows, access to a vinyl cutter and a heat press.... now I just have to learn to sew. I do have the artwork though!
