I've been holding onto this idea for two years now. Why? I just never got a chance to test it out. You see, every time I come up with an idea, I record it in my journal. I draw a picture of the craft plus directions on how I think it would be made. Often I forget about the idea until I page through my journal again. It's kind of like Christmas for me, I open up one of my journals and discover a forgotten project.
