Setting The Tone

This'll be a bit of a weird post, this is going to be a post without a project. I know.  Strange.  But I wanted to come in and just talk for a second about National Craft Month.

That's RIGHT!  It's almost here!!  That time of year when supplies are on sale and there's shiny new things to be had, and nothing is more fulfilling than SHOPPING!!!

Okay, yes, making the projects maybe is but still.  Shopping ranks pretty high.

Be sure and do your part to support small businesses this month and every month!  Some favorites of mine include (no affiliate links used at this time):

Anyways, I just wanted to talk for a bit about the plans I laid out for the month for myself and my goals. For several years now, I've tried to post a card or project each day of March and visit other blogs and hops and support fellow crafters as much as I could.  I usually miss a day or two, but that's it.

This year, I might actually do it.  More than thirty-one projects!  YAY ME!

I wanted to create with a theme, too.  Since March is also Barbie's Birthday Month, I decided to create with a girly flair all month.  Almost all of my projects will be girly or girly-inspired.  I don't think I've ever done that before so I'm excited.  I usually just pull stuff out and see what I make.  This is uncharted territory for me.

Thanks so much for looking and happy crafting.  Laters!!

Good morning!  It's time for a new challenge with Love To Craft Challenge Blog and our theme is always Anything Goes!! I wanted to make something sort of uplifting, or inspirational.  Everything has just been so hard and it's not getting any easier and I just thought, deep breath, coffee/cocoa, start over.  Am I right? :)
