Hello dear blogging world! My name is Amber and I'm making a fresh new start! I've followed so many blogs for quite some time now and have been inspired to do so many things because of these brilliant crafters. So I'm starting here, creating my own place for different crafts I've made or things I'm trying out. It will definitely not be all rainbows and butterflies. I have my fair share (and other peoples fair share) of creative block and some "Craft-tastic Failing" that I can't wait to share as well.
A few things you should know... I do not discriminate against a method of crafting and love to try new things! I was big into scrapbooking for a long time as I worked in a scrapbook store for quite a while. Photography is a big passion of mine. I don't really have a fancy camera (yet) and most of my pictures are taken with my phone since it's always with me. But photos just have a way of getting to me. When I look at things, the first thought that usually runs through my mind is "What a great picture this would make". I also enjoy sewing and my newest skill crocheting. I've been having a lot of fun with this recently.
So without further ado... let's get started!
Currently...

Weekend Wrap-Up
This weekend was great! Saturday I got to spend most of the day with my best friend Tamara. We went to a couple antique malls around town. I was able to find a key ingredient to a project I've been wanting to make since I saw it on Pinterest.
My little girl LOVES to draw and color and as you're probably find out along the way, if I'm making something it is probably for her or about her :) And I'm perfectly okay with this! The best part about finding the cabinet door?? It was only $5! Big thanks to Tamara for seeing it!
After that we went to Hastings for a white chocolate mocha and to charge our cell phones. Good coffee and good conversation were had! After that we went to see The Woman in Black starring Harry Pott.... I mean Daniel Radcliffe.Very good movie! However the teenagers that continued to laugh, after screaming worse than my three year old, did get annoying.
Sunday I put together some "Goal Boards"
These were so easy to put together and I really think they're going to be great tools for me to keep track of everything! The fact that they're bright and colorful helps too!! I actually sat down and came up with plans of action for cleaning/organizing/crafting and so much more. I felt very accomplished and it was only 2pm!
So as a reward I went to my friend Shari's! Her husband made us some Sangria with some wine he got for his birthday from Marta's parents in Spain. Marta is the foreign exchange student Shari and Kelly are hosting for the school year. The Sangria was lovely! Marta also wanted me to help her start scrapbooking her trip to Amercia. So after dinner we went and printed off pictures and got her a little box to store and organize them. I explained a little about scrapbooking and told her I would bring her a good book I had next time I stopped by (which would be soon since I'm over there a lot).
Needless to say this weekend was a major success!
Well, I think this is about it for today! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you stick around to see what's next!
