Turning junk into beauty...on my own!

While I've been back in Illinois for the summer, I've been stock-piling up on things to get all crafty with! Summer is the perfect time for teachers to do things for themselves, and already a few weeks in, and I have the longest "to do" list I think I've ever made. But I'm excited for ALL of it! It also doesn't hurt that even though I'm almost 25 years old, I still have the talent of batting my eyelashes oh-so-perfectly at my dad, and he'll still fork over some cash for me to purchase my craft supplies. Shhh...don't tell him to read this blog entry ;)

So, I've collecting scraps, junk, knick-knacks, and just plain old crap - to turn into little gems of beauty :)

Here is my pile of shit-to-do:

Paint and distress large frame. Then paint a canvas to go inside.
Clean rust off of tin frame. Take mirror out and replace with chalk board.
Make fall wreath.
Create paper crafts from old books.
Bachelorette party games.
Frames for learning objectives for my classroom.
Sew my first quilt.
Sew a new maxi dress.

Yeah. I told you. Crap. But beautiful crap.

Stay on the look-out for blog entries of each project I do. I'll try and do tutorials for most of them!
