Crafting Outside the Blog

Even though I went missing on the blog last week, I was doing a ton of crafting.  But before I get into that, let me tell you what I'm doing this week.  You can find me over at Cut Out + Keep sharing craft tutorials each day.  There's also a small interview on the site if you want to learn more about me. 

Now about last week....

Last week I made over 500 Shrinky Dink beads for a women's retreat I attended last weekend.  The bracelets we made were inspired by this tutorial by Cathe Holden.

I was also prepping for a photo shoot for my next book with Chronicle Books.  Since I can't tell you about the book yet, let me share a link to Chronicle Books where you can find all kinds of awesome crafty books.  Or, take advantage of the Chronicle Books app to make your own Grumpy Cat Photobomb.

Since I still had to cook dinner through all this madness, I turned to my trusty slow cooker and made this recipe from Budget Bytes.  This also happens to be my new favorite food blog.  I can't wait to try out the naan recipe!

Now if you would excuse me, I have an American Girl Doll birthday party to plan along with an oversized Candy Land game to make for this year's Halloween carnival.  For real.
