I'm one of the "Thrifty 50"!

I would have started blogging sooner if I could have thought of something to say. But now I do have something, and I am *very* excited about it. The "You Can Make This" Web site is sponsoring a contest to help and inspire those of us with long gift lists and low bank balances to make our own gifts. Fifty crafty folks were selected to participate, and I was among them. So cool! I can't wait to get started.

The first order of business, I've decided, is taming the black hole known as the craft area. It's in my bedroom, so the crafting stuff tends to get mixed in with the toys, clothes and other items that land there, too. More on this later . . . and maybe before and after pics, too.
