What it's all about


The Challenge: Stay away from the craft stores for ONE WHOLE YEAR! This, my friends, is a challenge for me. My craft room is ridiculously overflowing. I LOVE thinking/finding new fun crafts to create and then going to the store to collect the supplies. Unfortunately, many of these projects never get finished; some never even get started. So here I am, challenging myself to not buy any craft supplies and yet still create crafts everyday!
The Exceptions: Inevitably I will need to purchase things like adhesives, glue, and thread. Well maybe not thread... Also gifts are allowed. If a family or friend feels so inclinded to send me a gift of crafts supplies who am I to refuse? I may not finish a project a day, but I will at least try. I have two small children who take up most of my time. I also enjoy other crafts like quilting. Therefore, sometimes the projects just won't get done in a day. But, I promise to try my best!

Dr. Suess Thank you cards

 Day 1: Thank you cards for a baby shower. 

In the making... I don't like to waste scraps so I used the scraps from the invitations as part of the thank you cards.  The cards are postcard style so the giver can write the message on the back. It doesn't open to an inside message.  I didn't add any ribbon or thick embellishments because if I did then you wouldn't be able to write your note on the back.



All 30 Thank you cards complete!

And by the way, today is Sunday.  The Sunday paper had nice tempting adds and COUPONS for my favorite craft stores.  Sigh... I threw them all away.  No need to keep them around and torchure myself! Day 1 was pretty easy. (I was at a craft store on Friday and Saturday)

    Hi Amanda, I love your idea of using what you already have and can't wait to see what you do next. The thank you notes are adorable!
