Addicted

I am so addicted to craft/DIY blogs. I literally lose myself in them, searching for my next great project. Though I often get a great idea, but never carry through with it. I love looking at what people can make. It really amazes and inspires me how crafty some people can be. And I really love when the things they make are made out of of pratically anything laying around the house or costs next to nothing. I wish I had an ounce of creativity these people have in their pinky.

I often read of how people pick things up from Goodwill and turn it into something fabulous. I don't know how many times I've gone to Goodwill looking for something to make my own, but I often only see it for what it is. I can't see how to turn it into something awesome.

BUT I was able to turn a drabby cork board I picked up from GW into a cool looking board for the boys room. This is one of my proudest achievements. A little paint, fabric, staples, buttons, ribbon, a hot glue gun, and presto.

Recently I found a really cool idea for some Christmas gifts. Check it out here. I've already bought the washers, stamping set, and makers. I just haven't attempted to try it yet. I might just have to give it a whirl today. I suppose that will be for a later post.

Some of my favorite craft blogs:
