Hi everyone! I hope you had a wonderful set of holidays and that your New Year’s celebration was off the chain! ;)
In the first issue of FEATURING, one of our contributing editors, Julie, will be focusing on Etsy. We’ve created a survey for anyone interested to fill out (it shouldn’t take more than 5-10 minutes), and you do not have to own an Etsy shop or have shopped there...

on the backburner: that thing which holds so much...
Hey everyone!
As Thanksgiving approaches, I wanted to make sure to let all my followers (and lurkers!) know how very thankful I am that you continue to visit my blog and comment on my projects. It’s a crazy, humbling thing to know that somewhere out there, someone enjoys what you do for fun, a hobby that has turned into a passion.
As I’ve mentioned before, it’s been quiet...

go ahead, make an unconventional ornament.
This tutorial was written for Better Living Through Scrapbooking, and, as you may or may not know, there have recently been some changes made at the site. One such change is that I have made the decision to step down from the design team (and it was definitely not an easy one, nor did I take it lightly!). However, Better Scrap is still as awesome as ever, and I do hope you’ll continue to...
