Getting My "Crafty" On


Anyone who knows me well know that I love to do crafty things. I have always had one craft addiction or another -- often continuing one addiction while happily attempting to start another. This had led to piles upon piles of crafting items in my home and a truly endless supply of "ideas I want to try." I can always tell when I'm stressed because the desire to craft creeps in and takes over the rational side of me which knows my time would be better spent cleaning, cooking, or in some other way caring for my home. I suppose this is my version of therapy. This past weekend I was introduced to a website called Pinterest. For those who are already familiar with this site you know how dangerous it can be! Needless to say, I was inspired. Below are a few fun things (some inspired by Pinterest and some my own ideas) that have kept me busy the past couple of days in my "spare" time:

Some fun homemade cards...


Halloween Treats for the neighbor kids...



A special thank you for Jake's teachers...
