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!

"He will cover you with His feathers.."
Before I say anything else, I have to say that I found this idea from a super talented woman's blog- here's the link to what started a new obsession : http://www.harbourbreezehome.com/2011/11/tongue-and-groove-signs/. She has now started her own Etsy shop. If you check out this link, I'm sure you'll find your way over there. I think my tongue and groove board might be thicker than hers, but I just found some thinner board like this at Home Depot that I want to get and cut down. I'm super excited about making more. Anyhow, I loved the look of her decor that she made- the bird, the colors, and the Scripture. I didn't end up adding the Scripture reference on this sign, but I'm working on another that isn't tongue and groove board that I will include it on. I have this in my entryway with my spring decor and it was just what that whole spot needed. I used the technique that has been super fun for me to use lately : painting a base coat, applying vinyl die cuts, then painting over and peeling the vinyl off before the paint dries completely. It's so fun to do that, it makes me feel like a kid with that little bit of excitement... otherwise known as "CRAFT NERD ALERT!!!!". It's always better if you're enjoying yourself, right? Check out the link and see what else this fabulous lady is coming up with!
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.....
