Seems like a strange name for a craft blog, right? Well, I have always felt a little bit shy, or afraid to share my creativenss. When making something fabulous and someone compliments me, I usually play it off like it is no big deal. I have been a 'closet crafter' for too long! No more apologies! No more excuses! I love to craft and I am not ashamed!

Monthly Crafts/Ideas

My girls and I love making crafts together, especially when there is a holiday or 'special day'.  (Really, just an excuse to make something fun!)
Here is where I have started to keep a list of things we have done, want to do, or what others have done that are fabulous!  Hopefully, it will make it easier to find things that I have seen and loved, and give inspiration to others looking for ideas!
Do you have a link or project I could post?  Let me know!
