The trouble with being both a crafter and a blogger...
Sunday, November 30, 2008 at 02:49PM ...is that you can't always post what you're working on because certain people who might happen to be the intended recipients of said work may be reading your blog. ;) Yup, happily finishing off more projects here but can't post them. I can, though, post this:
I'm silly happy about this little piece that I finally got around to making. I've been saying that I'm going to do it for a long while now. See. I collect coasters at restaurants. I don't really know why. I kept saying that I was going to do something with them, and now I finally have. This isn't all the coasters I've collected, obviously, but I think it's a nice little representation. I simply cut them into squares and arranged them on some nice white Prism cardstock...stuck it all in a 12x12 frame...and hung it in the kitchen. Totally simple, but isn't it fun? :)
So, what are you creating lately? (It's okay...chances that the recipients of your gifts will be reading the comments of my blog are slim, right?)
Okay, I'm going back to those other crafty things now...

Thank you for making me feel normal! I too collect coaster! My DH thinks I'm nuts. lol That is a really cute project. I will have to put it in my idea book.
I'm working on so many thing right now. I need to figure out how to focus on one project! lol The way it's going I'm not going to get any of them done! lol
OMG! I love what you did with your coasters and I don't think you are weird. I consider you my clever, creative, unique and fabulous friend. I am sure you have good memories that go with your coasters. Plus, it is a great thing to have in the kitchen. I may just have to borrow your idea. Glad you are getting crafty things done. It is sparking my desire to be crafty... but at this point I'd only be procrastinating and I can't really afford to flunk out of school at this point.Great to see you the other day! Hugs
LOVE this! What a cool idea!
This is so cute! I love this idea! I may have to do something like this with those neat ads that I pull from magazines just because I love them! Thanks for the inspiration!
