Good Luck Everyone!!!!

Everyday, from here to there, there are crafters everywhere!

We asked and a wonderful few of you responded with photos of some of your favorite or recent hand-made crafts:

First we have two from Shellie:

a door hanger and a pretty Spring wreath. Rachel made this paper-piecing picture after being inspired by this post by Anisa.

and Kristen writes: I have been dying to know how to make these, and you have a way of showing and explaining EVERYTHING that I just "get it" and I get excited!!!

She made these hair accessories after looking at this tutorial by Angie.

We're going to showcase more reader crafts in the future and look forward to seeing your work. Don't forget to take pictures of those hand-made gifts before giving them away!

Also, remember! This Saturday is National Scrapbook Day! Print up some pictures, pull out that gorgeous patterned paper you've been wanting to use and record some memories.

In honor of National Scrapbook Day we'll be doing a lot of scrapbooking posts, ideas, and show-casing! Send us scans or photos of your favorite pages and we'll do another reader post at the end of May (digital scrapbook pages wanted, too!)

Awesome Tutorials

So, the other day I was blog hopping through links on some of my favorite sites. I came across this insanely awesome post The Princess and the Monkey has put together and keeps updated. It's a ginormous collection of tutorials-everything from hand bags, things to put in your purse, clothes, toys, etc. Some things found here I'd like to try (and their links):
