First up...wanna-be projects

Ok, I have an embarrassingly huge list of crafts I'd love to get to...one day...I collect links to tutorials or ideas I like and keep them in a little word document. I thought I'd start this blog with my wish list of links. The current thought is to make this my new master list and update as needed.

Welcome!!

Hello Everyone!

I've decided to keep a new blog as a project log. My family blog was becoming too cluttered with various projects and I wanted a space to keep track of things I've created, past and present. I'll begin transferring project photos from the family blog to this and then I'll add new ones here. I'm also hoping to chronicle the older projects I've done as well, so we'll dig back into my past a bit, too.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy reading!
