A Small Act with a Big Impact
In these difficult economic times, many of us cannot simply write a check for a charity that we love and want to support. Among crafters; however, I have come to learn that we nearly always have a “stash,” some materials stored away that we haven’t had a chance to turn into a gift or a project.
Organize Your Craft Supplies
When I one day have the craft room of my dreams, there will be so many organizational bins that it will look like the warehouse at the end Raiders of the Lost Arc. I'd love everything to have its place, and if it did I'm completely convinced that I would be able to be more effective in my crafting . . . the creativity would churn out more quickly because I would know exactly what I have. A girl can dream, can't she?
Homemade Christmas Gifts
Homemade gifts are more than crayon scribbles and hot glue. There are a myriad ideas out there for you to use to create just the right gift for each person on your list. You can generally make gifts fairly inexpensively.

Apple Topiary
A holiday topiary is a perfect way to spice up any holiday decor. They're perfect as a set on either side of a fireplace or as a single decorative centerpiece. A holiday topiary is also super simple to make.

Now that school is in full swing and I finally have time to breathe in between homework assignments, packing lunches and carpooling, I'd like to introduce you to my new best friend.
