Happy NEW Year, Everyone!  Emphasis is on NEW. Today we will create a project using something NEW— perhaps a gift received, something you treated yourself to, or maybe even something you purchased or received ages ago and just haven’t used yet.  Whatever is NEW to you — just give it a try — and you […]

Emily is a 6 year old crafter.
