I’m a day late on my project for this week’s Iron Craft challenge from Just Crafty Enough, but it’s a good one. A few months ago I had a couple of major craft fails right in a row. One I talked about (my total lack of iron-on transfer skills), but the other I didn’t. I […]
Now that we have a note card, write a quick note to let someone know you’re thinking of them, then get ready to address the envelope. Hand-lettered envelopes make the inside of the note almost as much fun as the outside, and this is a skill I really want to cultivate, so I guess I […]
