Happy New Year!

So here we are at the beginning of another fabulous new year!   Since becoming a stay at home mama two years ago I have been searching for ways to fill certain needs.   In 2013 I took my crafting and upcycling to a new level.  Now in 2014 I have officially started my own crafting swap and am going to blog here about what I accomplish in my creative time.  So here we go!
