To craft or not to craft, there is no question! A day without crafting or doing something creative is like a fish without water...it just doesnt work for me. I get so much joy out of crafting and making things. My hubby calls me the MacGyver of Decorating because of the way I creatively repurpose or refinish things. Sometimes I dont know how I come up with my ideas, I just see things differently. I get so much joy and satisfaction out of just using what I have, recycling and repurposing when I create. Its what makes me jump out of bed each morning. I am so grateful to have found a way to make a career out of doing what I love. Being able to craft everyday without having to feel guilty about it makes me one happy little Mama!

Re: This Month on CraftStylish

I just posted a project about my "New Year, New Challenge of No Craft Stores for 60 Days". It is all about using what I have and not buying anything new. It will force me to get creative and is eco-friendly. You can view more about it on my blog too (http://www.downhomediy.blogspot.com/) but I will be posting projects as I make them. I thought it would be a good idea to throw it out there for others to join in the fun! I love your "cut up the credit cards" concept and using it to create something. It would be a good reminder everytime you looked at it to use what you have! Thanks for sharing and inspiring.

Re: Wood Pendants With Pretty Papers

These are so fun! What do you use to clear coat them? I have tried a few but am curious what your favorite brand is. Thanks for sharing.
