Crazy Time

I think they should rename the holidays "crazy time" because that is exactly what it is. Crazy. In a good way, though. Here is a list of things I have been up to:

• I made 60+ salt dough ornaments for school parties...they are going to decorate them using this great, easy and super cute tutorial found here. The boys and I made some examples last night and they are not only fun to make but they are also sort of addictive, too.

• I have made some photo journals for gifts using this tutorial. I have discovered some ways to make this even easier and, when I get a spare moment, I will post about my discoveries. FYI they turned out great and are really easy and fast to make.

• I have started making some of these lovely paper whites to give as gifts to teachers, friends, family and myself of course:)

• I also made a bunch of tote bags, scarves, handmade cards, books, furoshiki...lots of stuff. I still have to get those pictures off of my camera and onto this blog so that you can see them.

• The boys and I are going to make a few of these for gifts for the grandparents. They are so neat!

Anyway, that at least gets you up to date on what I have been up to. What about you? I would love to hear from you.

MIA again

Sorry for being MIA again! I was working like mad to get ready for my very first craft show, making Christmas presents, getting more freelance work lined up, etc. But this week I am back to my normal schedule and have a bunch of posts planned for you...so stay tuned and check back very soon!

PS...I remembered to take pictures! YAHOOO! On my to-do list is to make a studio in my basement so that I can take better product pictures. It should be fun!
