Happy New Year-Top 10 Tutorials

My favorite quote of the year (from www.galadarling.com) :

Happy New Year Rebel Crafters! I know its just a number, but for some reason I love a New Year! Its like a mental clean slate. I love writing down new goals and dreams for the year. I enjoyed these tips from Gala Darling's blog: http://galadarling.com/article/10-fantastic-ways-to-get-ready-for-2012. Especially the one about making one major change to your appearance in 2012. I am thinking on that one. What will I change? Maybe my hair color. I am also feeling recharged artistically. I have a list of interesting projects to start in 2012! In the meantime I am going to jump on the craft blog bandwagon theme of posting the top ten most viewed projects of the year. The funny thing is we are a newborn blog. Thats right, I got my feet wet in September. I feel like October was my first full month of true blogging. So many of these projects will be very recent since I only have a few months of projects. What was my favorite craft of 2011? It was the iPhone cover, which coincidentally was my top viewed project. I like it because my phone and I are inseparable so it is always out to see. I look forward to new projects in a new year!

Have a fabulous New Year! See you back in 2012!

Easy Paperwhite Gift

This week I am on vacation (at home) so I am posting very quick and easy projects. Since paperwhite bulbs are on sale now I thought they would make a fun hostess gift for january. A box will have 4-6 bulbs depending on the size. All you need to create a quick gift is a nice teacup or container. I found the teacups at the Goodwill store for .50 a piece. I also saw that Michael's has their holiday mercury glass votives at half off (they would also make pretty and inexpensive containers). Use the potting mix provided. A teacup will hold one to two bulbs. I added a little moss on top (you can pick up a bag at the dollar store). The bulbs will be blooming in a few weeks so you could also wait until then to bag them up. I just popped them into a clear bag and tied with a ribbon. I think they will look very cute when they are blooming!

"Today is a Gift" 5"x7" Printable

As promised I am posting some "quickie" projects this week. I liked this quote so I created it for printing. Time is precious, so I wanted a reminder sitting on my desk to live for today. I hear people say "if I work really hard now it will pay off because I can spend more time with my kids down the road". But sadly they won't be kids down the road. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?, so we gotta live for today. If you would like to print this out for yourself just click on the links. I saved it for a 5"x7" frame and I made it in both red and pink.
