Today my friend Nicky and I went to a charity craft event. Awesome! Wish I could do things like this more often. We made wine cork crafts with a group called Acts of Kindness. They will sell the crafts to raise money for the Aid for AIDS of Nevada. What a great way to give back to the community! Nicky found the meeting through a website called Meetup.com. I think I'll be researching more to find out if there are other craft projects I can make for local charities! Below I am going to post some quick little photos I took of the projects I made.
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!
