DIY

I am a huge fan of DIY (Do It Yourself). My mom raised me and my sisters with an "You can make that" attitude - an attitude that has stuck with me. So, when I ran across this website today, I fell in love. One Pretty Thing is my new inspiration for DIY crafts that have links to tutorials (so I don't have to figure it out on my own). Amazing.

Here are a few things I want to make (so far):

Magnetic Halloween Advent Calendar from Just a Girl

Ribbon Flowers from Under a Blue Moon

And a pumpkin book from Craftster

I do appreciate creative people like that! I'm an awesome copy-cat but struggle coming up with the ideas on my own. what a fantastic site!

Looks like those could be a lot of fun! I think I'll have to look into it.

I want that pumpkin book. I'll have to go find a yellowing paperback that is begging to be torn up. Maybe something spooky.

I wish I had more of a desire to be a do-it-yourselfer, especially since I have a house now. I hope I become like you someday soon. :)
