Last week, I had posted that some friends and I were going to be making snowflakes to send to the Connecticut PTSA to help decorate a new school for the students of Sandy Hook Elementary. Since then, they have posted on their website that they are no longer taking...
Update: The Connecticut PTSA has regrettably closed the snowflake project, as they have been inundated with donations. Here is the info from their website: "Thank you to everyone who has donated snowflakes on behalf of the children of Sandy Hook Elementary School...
I attended a holiday craft fair a couple of weeks ago, and boy was this one way better than my first experience! I dressed (too) warmly, and it was indoors so I wasn't standing there shivering while talking to the people who came by. And the people! Everyone was in...
I'm doing a little re-post for this Christmas craft because I haven't actually been crafting for Christmas this year. Yup. I'll wait while you pick yourself up from your chairs and stop gasping in horror. Did I completely go anti-holiday mental this year? Not...

Here's my Ombre win from SYTYC - a Lucky Star Ombre Mobile. I love that J now points to it at bedtime and says "Moon!" and "-Tar!" I'm going to lose, or I'm going win. Someday, I will get back to the business of blogging randomness, but for now, I'm just chugging...
Did I mention work is coming to a head? Yeah, and J is headed straight to terrible toddler-hood. And I still have to write up the awesomeness that is the gift exchange that I participated in, both of them. And then there's the crafts for SYTYC - one a week, that's...
Here's the tutorial for my scrap wood lantern, in case you have an armload of scrap wood you'd like to use up! The brainstorming process for this project was a little bit crazy. Once I decided I wanted to use wood, I googled "wood scraps" just to look at some...
Seriously, when is life not crazy? Blogging sometimes gets pushed to the back burner. But, fantastic news! I won the Scraps Challenge at So You Think You're Crafty with my Wood Scrap Lantern! I started the contest with almost no expectations, just hoping to get...
