Melissa, the Craftasaurus

Lately I've been putting more time into my crafts. I redesigned my craft site, twice. Here's how it currently looks.



I also created a new craft blog where I can show off some of the new things I've been creating. I'm going to try to spend some time every week making new cards. This is depleting my wallet a bit because I've made trips to the craft store for the past three weekends.

There are a few things going on in the upcoming weeks. On Tuesday, Roberto y yo will be eating out at Harú, an awesome Japanese restaurant in the city. It's restaurant week in Philly, which means $30 for a appetizer, entree and dessert. Suh-weet. Then Wednesday we are checking out the King Tut exhibit at the Franklin Institute. It's teacher's night, which means no $28 admission! Woohoo! Friday we need to pick up a futon because the following weekend Maria and Jamel will be visiting! YAY!!!! I'm so excited that they are coming out here! That means that Rob and I have some serious cleaning in our future. We need to make this place suitable for guests!

Okay, cutting this shorter than usual because I want to get some more craft time in tonight. But before I go, here are my recommendations for the week.

#1 - Basecamp, project management software: got it at work and it rocks
#2 - ReadyMade magazine: ordered a 2 year subscription for $15, great zine
#3 - Craft punches: so much better than the stupid circle cutters I've used for years

G'night!

You can drop money like its hot all day in a craft store! It can seriously burn a big hole in the wallet. I want some of those punches too, but they are so FREAKIN' expensive. di

You've been a super busy bee! Love the new site design, and your cards look awesome! I'm with Mary on going through money like water in a craft store. There's a scrapbook store near me that I try to avoid like the plague or I'll go broke! Good stuff Mel!
