National Letter Writing Month: Supplies

It's National Letter Writing Month! Writing letters is something very few of us do any more--email, facebook and text messages have made it pretty obsolete. It's super fun to get mail other than bills, at least I think so, and with Valentine's day quickly approaching, what better time to make a special letter for the people in your life?

Above I have a picture of some super cute supplies that anyone can use to whip up a batch of fancy cards: washi tape, ribbon, cardstock, stamps, stickers, paints, zig-zag scissors, baker's twine and more! You can also make some super cool custom envelopes for your cards with this tutorial.

I made this cute little card in just a few minutes, and it would surely brighten anyone's day. Maybe you can take this opportunity to make a batch of cards to send out to people you haven't talked to in awhile to brighten their day. :)

February Flashback

Whew! I made it through February unscathed (mostly). I have to say it is a bit of a relief to not be requiring myself to do a whole complete project every day this month, but don't think I will be slacking off too badly. I plan on finishing up a bunch of projects that were simply too big to complete in February, most of which are really awesome and I am very excited about.

Some of which are only fairly awesome, but maybe they will end up being the best projects yet? Also, I have started meeting up once a week with some of my crafty peers at local Happy Hours around town. If you are in the Portland, OR area I will be posting about some of these on my Twitter account. Come on down and enjoy some crafting, food and drinks with us!

Last but not least I am planning a giveaway shortly (or is it multiple giveaways?--we shall see). What will it be? How will you win? Details are all coming soon.

Rest assured that we will be seeing a great deal happening in the next few days. Also, the Friday Food Craft has been such a success I plan on it being an every Friday feature. Mark your calendars for deliciousness!
