Good DIY Finds!

I was paging through a magazine this weekend and came across an article that featured a "professional crafter!"  I wonder how you become that because I think I would like that job!  Even though I don't see this in my near future I did find some great DIY projects to practice my craft-making skills.  I thought I would share them with you.  If you click on the buttons below you will be linked directly to the blog site and if you click on the title of the DIY project, you will go directly to the instructions.

One last thing I wanted to share was this awesome picture that my sister, Kayle, took this weekend while she and her husband were on a cattle drive in Nebraska.  It was too good not to share with you! :)



'Barnone' on a Nebraska cattle drive



Kayle and her husband, Heath, helped move 1,000 head of cattle for the ranch that Heath works at.  What a neat experience!  I'm pretty sure that this is the first cattle drive that Kayle had ever been on and it makes me think about how exciting new experiences are.  So - I ask this question:

When was the last time you did something for the first time? 

(Feel free to answer in the comment section below!)

I will leave you with that thought for the week!  And happy crafting!
