Trying to be crafty....

I've been attempting to be crafty. I'm starting small and plan on working my way up to doing bigger things... we'll see.

A few weeks ago I had a couple of friends come over to make cards. It was really fun. We plan on doing it again because it's great getting ideas from other people and of course, just hanging out with some good people. Here are some of the cards I made. (Not the best picture, but you get the gist.)



My mom and I got together to make these easter wreaths. They were super fun to make. They're kind of cheesy but that's okay.

I also made this easter basket out of scrapbook paper. Super easy! I really needed some easter decorations - I didn't have anything and didn't want to spend a lot of money on any. So I took matters into my own hands.

This one is my favorite! I got a box at JoAnn's for not very much money and decorated it to match my bedroom for a jewelry box. I've been in search for one for awhile but I just wanted something simple and not very expensive so this was my solution. Jake helped me put the slats in the inside.

I've wanted to do this one for awhile. To make my own planner! Yeah, I know, it's April but I finally got around to doing it. I got this notebook and then decorated it the way I wanted it. I still plan on putting tabs on it for the months and whatnot. I also made this address book. I bought one for super cheep at ShopKo and then just decorated it with cute paper.

So I'm not the most crafty person, but I am trying. It's been fun and I figure as long as I've got this crafty bug I better keep on making things. My mom and I got together this weekend and worked on a couple of things too. I have some other project ideas that I want to get started soon so stay tuned for those! And if anyone has any ideas (that are easy), let me know! I'm on a roll.
