After consciously choosing “Create Space” as my intention for January (which will be bleeding over into February because my space isn’t completely created yet) I shuffled my remaining 11 One Little Word cards to determine what I would focus on for the other months. For February I got “Create Art.” The card says Play with […]
Make a Valentine Holder from a Jeans Pocket
I’ve been full of the Valentine crafting spirit lately, but a lot of the stuff I’ve been doing has been going to other blogs. So I’ll be inundating you with reports of guest postings (and more crafts here, too, no doubt) to help get you in the heart-filled spirit. First up is this fun one […]

The Importance of Taking Breaks {Craft Your Blog}
A blog post with the title “The Importance of Taking Breaks” could be about a lot of things, but in this case I’m writing specifically about the need to take a break from your writing before you edit it (and you are editing before you hit publish, right?). I will admit that, even though I […]
