I Feel the Need...

... the need for craftiness! Let me explain.


This past weekend, Tony and I went home to Knoxville for a weekend with the family.  No trip home would be complete without ten thousand pictures a picture or two of my niece.  I might be obsessed with my nieces... and as far as I know... there isn't a cure...








A fun activity for me is to scrounge around in the abandoned closets of my old room (and my sisters'!) and see what junk I can bring home to now clutter our house.  Fun! Tony LOVES when I do this!  Digging through my old stuff, I found my long-forgotten craft box.  I have a grownup craft box now, but my old one was once a prized possession.  I seemed to have creativity to spare back in those days (and ten pounds of pony beads), and I think now it's finally resurfacing (I'm feeling the total itch to be crafty this holiday season!).  So my craft box came home with me.  I plan on devoting some time to going through it, seeing what can be salvaged (they clay for beadmaking might not be surviving..), and getting crafty.


The Graphics Fairy




I wanted to share some of the lovely images that have been appearing on The Graphics Fairy.  I sit in my cube and dream of getting my mod podge on, using some of these lovelies.  I love her site so much, and it's my newfound inspiration for any type of image (my skull was from her image!)


Snowman:

Santa (I know him!)
Another Santa:


And Another Santa!:
I'm imagining all kinds of fun projects with these images.  Anyone else have any great online resources for craftiness?  Help a fellow crafting nerd out!

  1. Hi Claire,
    Thanks so much for mentioning my blog! Your niece is adorable!!! She looks a lot like my daughter when she was a baby, although Danielle had an extra chin.
