The design team and I at ILove2Create.com are busy putting on the final touches to two amazing events. The first is our Girl's Crafting Weekend that starts on Friday, September 14th and goes through Sunday, September 16th.

I've been neglecting my blog lately and had been experiencing a creative slump. I was debating whether to keep going with the ATC workshop because I had gotten behind. Two days ago I decided that I needed to do something so the ATCs seemed like the best bet (since they are small and don't seem as overwhelming).
