Being Crafty






I made more awesome 3D flower stuff

And then posted it on someone else's blog










I made some pretty picture frames



Some great links and tutorials I've found

And an inappropriate reference to my butt.





Flower Trees

A classy little project. I'm pretty proud of it.








Cherry Blossom Wall Art

It's 3D. And awesome.

How do you craft?

Sort of a rambly tangent about the benefits of Online TV.




Check out these Checker Boards (and a giveaway)

I made some more Checker Boards! And they took forever. About half way through this project I was ready to chuck them out a window. But now that they're done, I love them. So I'm giving one away. 'Cause that's how I roll.




Pretty Valentines Day Tiles

They turned out way prettier than I expected.
