Two Sites You Should NOT Live Without!

There are two places I go for for all my crafting ideas (besides etsy of course).

Martha Stewart has an excellent site for anything and everything under the sun. I have signed up for her craft of the day e-mail and I love it! The crafts are usually very simple to do and there are is a complete list of materials and step by step instructions on how to make the item. There is often an instructional video. Click here to see her site and sign up for the Craft of the Day. You'll notice that there is a craft photo contest going on. I submitted this photo in hopes of catching their eye with the bright colors. We shall see! You can go there and comment and rate my stuff. Winner gets a copy of one of Martha's books.

My other favorite site is Skip to My Lou she frequently posts the cutest craft ideas and gives you instructions on how to do each of the crafts. She also features other craft blogs from time to time as well as awesome give-a-ways. I haven't won anything yet but I will keep trying! Right now there is a contest to win a huge play ground set. Fingers crossed.... You can also subscribe and get e-mails notifying you of any new posts.
