What? Huh? I crafted something??

It has been a very long time since I did anything crafty. (How to make dinner from pantry supplies not withstanding...) But this weekend I finally, finally cleaned my scrap/office room. Sweet niblets it was filthy. I spent most of my time crawling around on hands and knees picking up beads, bits of paper and itty bitty Barbie accessories--among other things. The really sad part? It's still not pretty enough to take a picture of, but at least almost everything is in it's place.

As a reward, the girls and I spent today crafting at our newly cleaned crafty areas. Little m practiced cutting paper to bits, Little d put newly found shoes on Barbies and I started on prep for my January workshop.

I can't under any circumstances take credit for this idea. Becca at Amazing Paper Grace made this adorable birthday reminder clothespin, and I loved it so much I decided to create something like it for this month's workshop. BTW, if you've never seen her blog, definitely put it on your to do list. It is phenomenal. She is extremely creative and comes up with the neatest altered items and beautiful cards.

Here's my clothespin. I went with Perfect Day papers since I had the most of them.



I chose to do front and back cards for the 12 months. Here's January and April.

And on the backs of those, February and April. (I haven't finished the back of the clothespin yet.)

It was really rewarding to be crafting again. And a little exhausting, but in a good way. Of course now my desk is a mess again... :)

All supplies CTMH except that little red button on the front, the clothespin, and the Spellbinders scallop die.
