First Post!

This is an exciting time for me, as it marks "getting back to normal". This is something I've been wanting to do for awhile now, and it's finally come to be! The first entry to my craft blog. Of course, most of my ideas will be things I've marked on pinterest, but I'll also post projects from other places (including my own head!)

The first project I chose to do was the 52 Reasons card deck from pinterest. It was super easy to do, and I did it while sitting in the hospital with my daughter. I made it for my husband for his 28th birthday!

This project was quick, cheap, and super cute!! I spend $2 on a key chain and $2 on a pack of cards. The only other things you need are a hold punch and a Sharpie! Use all 52 cards and one joker to make 53 cards. Punch a hole in one card and use it as a guide to punch all the other holes in the same spot. I chose to put all my cards on the ring first before writing on them. Once on the ring, I made the cover and then got to work recording my 52 reasons :)

Some variations of this are punching two holes and using ribbon as a binder, gluing white rectangles of paper on each card to write on, and personalizing cards with pictures. It's such a great gift for someone who wants something meaningful but limited funds!

Welcome to my craft blog and thanks so much for coming! Sometime in the next week I am hoping to make a peacock wreath, as well as a few baby headbands.
