I know only crafty people will understand me when I say this......Do you ever find yourself out shopping in gift shops or wherever and you see something cute and you say to yourself " I can make that?" I've come to the realization that even though I could make it....do I really want to make everything? I mean, when is this sickness going to end? It is fun to be crafty, but it can also be tiring to try to make everything. I mean if it's a couple dollars I've just decide I am going to buy the darn thing. I love love love to make everything. I love to make wall quotes out of vinyl, I love to make jewelry, coozies, pillows, paint on glass..you name it, I'll do it. I love to make gifts. Above is the last thing I made as a gift. I saw it in a store and thought..." I can make this." So I bought acrylic paint and then when I was done I stuck it in a cool oven and set the temp. at 325 degrees for 30 min. What this does is it cures the paint. you can only hand wash these. It saved me whatever it would cost in the store and it was tons of fun. However, I will say this to all of you crafty ppl. out there......give yourselves a break and just buy the darn gift! ;) thought I'd share this with you.
