This is my playground- where I get to "play" with crafts- of all sorts. It's so much fun to try new things out, why limit myself? Maybe someone else will get inspired to "play" too... there's always room in the crafty playground for great ideas to be shared!

The Best things in life aren't things photo holder
I finally finished this project inspired by one found on Pinterest. Here's the link to the original source and directions :http://andreanelsworth.hubpages.com/hub/Home-Art-How-to-Make-The-Best-Things-in-Life-Arent-Things-Decorative-Wall-Sign-Tutorial . I want to give credit where it is due. I loved this idea- and it can be tailored to how many pictures you want to display (children, grandchildren, etc.) I painted and crackled my wood, then painted and distressed some mini clothespins- I thought it might be a bit much to crackle them also- but, on their own, they'd be pretty cute that way :) I pretty much copied the tutorial other than that- I think the look of the ribbon on the clothespins adds a pretty touch. Anyhow, one more thing from Pinterest accomplished! This is going into our MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers- www.mops.org ) auction next month.
I love to "play" with my hands with all sorts of crafts. I don't feel like I have any particular skill or talent at any given craft, and I'm a perfectionist (bad combination). I do really enjoy the process (most of the time, other than wanting to throw something out the window because of said perfectionism... )I can't get enough of mini albums, and I love trying new sketches for layouts, too. I'm equally happy trying out some new paper project or altering items with cute scrapping goodies. Ahhh, so many crafts, so little time.....
