I suppose I'm crafty after all
I've always considered myself to be a non-crafty person. I've never been much or a cross stitcher, crocheter or even a regular giant journaler. Crafts have always seemed like a waste of time to me. There are to many decisions involved. Deciding colors, accessories, sizes, etc. I think it's because when I start something I am not satisfied with its imperfections and just tell myself I'm not that type of person. What I didn't realize is that you don't have to be a creative craft queen to make something for your home. I like to think I'm creating art and it doesn't seem like such a chore to me. I'm not demeaning craftiness in the least. I feel quite the opposite. I really respect those that have such talents since I don't. I have had a success this time and I'd like to share. This is my memo board. I had one that a friend made me in jr. high and have no idea where it is. I've been wanting a way to display more pictures without making a million holes in our walls. I think this did the trick. They are very easy to make (they have to be if I did it) and choosing the colors to match the house was really fun. I guess I'm still not too crafty since this is the only project I have done, or will do for quite some time. Don't look too hard at imperfections like whether or not the lines are exactly parallel because I already know they are there. And by the way, if you don't see your picture on here, these were quickly gathers to try it out. They will be rotated regularly.

Wow! Way cute. Hey, I resent GJ being called a craft! I don't know why, but I do. Nonetheless, I love it. I think I should make one when I redo my messages wall!
