An award? For ME?

You know, for someone who hasn't crafted in who-knows-how-long (and has a DT meeting tomorrow morning, but will be showing up with no ideas whatsoever!) this little beauty from Julie was such an encouragement!


Thank you Julie!!! You really made my day and I am starting to have hope again that there is crafting in my future! And when it looks like my future is craftless and bleak, I will again take up hope and read these words from Julie...

The next lovely person I want to bestow this honor on is Elizabeth . I can't say enough about this girl! She is one super mom to a beautiful daughter, she cooks and bakes like none other, she definately puts Martha to shame and she scrapbooks!! Her pages and card creations always rock the house and I am so blown away by work :)

Isn't that just the sweetest??? Thank you!

And do you know who I'd like to nominate for this awesome award?? My dear friend Tam, who has two kids of her own and seems to have about as much craft time as I have these days! I haven't seen Tam in a few years (I was pregnant with Ellie last time I saw her!) and I miss her dearly! So Tam, this award is for you!

Do you know how long it has been since I've crafted??

Me either.

But it's been a LONG time! In fact, last night I dreamed that I got to scrapbook again. It was wonderful! But then I woke up and realized once again just how long it has really been since I've gotten to play with paper. Looks like I need to schedule a playdate to scrapbook! Anyone game?

Best Craft Table!

Really, truly, isn't this the best craft table ever? I would love something like this for our family... I could craft, Leif could geek, and Ellie could color, all in the same place! It's a pretty ingenious idea.

Queen of the Craft Room!!!

But don't take MY word for it... Martha Stewart told me so!

Okay, so really it was marthastewart.com that told me I was queen of the craft room, but I'm taking it! Here's a little quiz to test your craft IQ. Here's what they told me....

All hail to the queen -- or king -- of the craft room! Your crafts knowledge is supreme!
