Craft Gossip

Life is happening in fast mode at the Today’s Creative Blog homestead. You know how that is……..all things crafty get put on hold. It’s finally a quiet morning, and I’m gearing up to do a little bit of organizing around here. Not sure about you, but I can’t feel creative if areas of my home are trashed. My craft room is trashed…….what’s new………..my planters are craving something springy for the porch and I desperately need to go through my son’s closet and bedroom. Sadly, I’m looking forward to getting these tasks done. I set my sites on looking for an Organizing blog to give me inspiration. But, I found this one. Very interesting and so many things to find there.

Craft Gossip has just about everything under the sun about anything crafty. Reviews, tutorials, sales…………you name it.

When I first came across Craft Gossip, I was afraid it was going to be like a few of those sites out there that trash a product or a “craft celebrity” and I didn’t want anything to do with that. I quickly realized this site wasn’t like that at all and it was full of really helpful stuff. They have a team of editors that do all the leg work for you.

Thank GOD I don’t host our Easter dinner, but if I did I would totally make these napkin shapes. Think how impressed my guests would be.

I don’t know about you, but I went through a serious paperbag album phase. These are great for quick mini albums. Here is a quick tutorial if you’ve never made one. You haven’t lived until you make one of these. I used a paper hole punch, a few bags at a time……..much easier.

Another great idea I found is this paper storage. Using the 12×12 storage containers from any craft store and a garment hanger, you can have a quick storage solution.

Loving this idea with the cubes. Cubes / blocks seem to be one of those “new” things to do with our scrapbooking goods. Combine that with your need to buy old things and you’ve got yourself a pretty original decorative piece. Wouldn’t this be cool to use as a type of family tree? Or an Advent Calendar? You could have a variety of uses.

They have a whole section on recycling items for crafty purposes. You know I loved that. Here’s a very simple one you could do today.

I have been meaning to get one of these stamps. I love these. All of them. Think of all you could do with this!

They have something for everyone. Even this below………………

What? You don’t know what that is? Why they are the ever popular Tampon string lights.

I hope you all have a productive Sunday.
