Invitation - Journal of a Craft Addict



So, my last post, among many other things have inspired me to start a new crafting blog.  It's called "Journal of a Craft Addict" and you can find it here: http://www.journalofacraftaddict.blogspot.com/ I'm hoping to catalog my many different and sometimes crazy crafting projects and ideas. 

This blog will continue to be a place  you can find our family updates.  Hope to see you in both places sometimes!  Thanks for all 7 of my faithful readers :)  I love you guys!

Craft Addiction

I, Erin have a self professed craft ADDICTION!  I can’t get enough of it.  I have even had to plan in specific “craft time” so that I don’t spend my whole day working on stuff!

Here’ what I did the other day in honor of the first day of Autumn:

003This is a really simple wreath I learned how to do on Studio 5 

Cost: about $8

Time: about 2 hours

Blast that show – every time I watch it, there’s something else fun that I HAVE to DO – and I mean HAVE to – I pack the girls in the car right after the show and head to the craft store and get the things I need.  Usually I get the project going that day and done by the next…

Yes, I am a “Craft Addict” And I LIKE IT! :)

PS – if anyone wants some cute “Autumn” vinyl – come on over…it’s really easy and a cheap way to change it up for the holidays!

Craft Shows & Giveaway!

As some of you know, I’ve been crafting a bit lately and trying to build a little self-propelled business from my crazy ideas and wool felt. Check me out here: Thelma’s Handmade

My items are in a show this weekend in South Jordan at The Spotted Zebra and will be next weekend in West Jordan at The Garden of Art Show

Here’s a sampling of what my display looks like. As I am kind of new at this, I would love any feedback you’d like to give – especially if you go see it! 001 002 003

At each show, there are a TON of fun gift ideas, homemade goodies, unique clothing and amazing baby items. Buy handmade and support local artists!:)

GIVEAWAY ALERT! If you do go to one of the shows, leave a comment about your favorite vendor/item at the show and I'll give you one of my Greeting Cards or "Bean" Bags just for checking it out. If you can't get to either show, just leave a comment here and I'll do a drawing for another free item among you!
