The Crafty Crow
Cassie dedicates her site to finding all things crafty for kids! Now I love my boy more than anything in the world and I can't wait til Summer when we can spend the whole day with each other........but you know we all have those days when our children are bouncing off the walls and driving us crazy.........or maybe it's us that's driving THEM crazy???? I don't know........but I am thrilled to click through this site to find a few projects to keep him busy.
While clicking away, I thought I would add a few photos from her personal site because it was equally cool.......Bella Dia......it sounded familiar........while looking at some of her photos, it starts looking really familiar.......DUH! I already featured her awhile ago! Now had she placed her featured blinkie on her site, I wouldn't have had my DUH moment........that's really why I have that blinkie......to keep me straight. Her personal blog is also full of so many crafty fun. It's worth another visit. And these cool little rock towers she did. I just love that photo. My friend Treva will be all over these.
I love me some buttons. I doubt my son would be interested in making these cute button necklaces, but while I'm playing with buttons, maybe he could string together pieces of wood, shells.........dirt clods. She mentions where each craft is from.........you know what that means? MORE BLOGS TO VISIT!
Now this is definitely something I can see my son doing this summer! This looks fabulous! 
Then when they're done, I'm sure they'll take it apart and beat each other............but wait..........then we can try this one. I like the idea of them having to stay in one spot.
She has so many great ideas.........lots of art ideas......all categorized! I love how organized it is. She's got it all broken down for you so you can find the perfect project in seconds.........because sometimes that's all we have before the kids go Rambo on us.
Kids are always ready for bubbles. Doesn't matter the age, especially if you jazz it up a bit with colored bubbles. After the fun, you have yourself some art..........or you could make cards or something from the paper. 
She's a true professional at tutorials.........she really is. She's writes them for publishing. Here's one below........it's going to be a heart. 
Love this idea too.........Recycling = jewelry. Think of the possibilities.........
I love the idea of using recycled products. I used to have a box called the Art Box. It was a large cardboard box we kept in the garage that we would fill with misc items that we would be done with, or misc items from junk mail. We will fill this box with old cds, card board, metal lids from drinks like snapple, plastic junk.......you name it. It went into the box. We would pull the box out to create something fantastic from junk. Talk about using your imagination.
You guys are awesome! You've so great at letting all the featured bloggers know how you found them. I never email a blogger ahead of time to let them know I'm featuring them.......I do email them and let them know that I have featured them, but it's always a surprise!
I featured her when I first started 
(I have that necklace above....the larger circle) but once you spend time with her, you quickly realize her artistic talent moves into many different mediums. She paints, she sews, she writes poetry, her artistic eye is all her own. Just living is art to her. She is the only one that can pull off having red and wine colored walls in the same room. 
They are moving to Mexico. They are waiting for their home to be built and in the mean time, she is staying with her sister in Texas. She's going crazy. CRAZY! So, if you're looking for a fun blog to read daily, never knowing where she'll take you.......head over to 
Her site is ...........is.........stylish and inspiring from the get go. It's all about being stylish and inspiring from every angle. The simpleness of her site design draws you in. I was 
Very easy to navigate with the 
very cute and so many places to explore. You KNOW you're going to like it there the minute you arrive. And I have an idea it's like that if you were lucky enough to visit her in person. 
Her house looks like the type you can just plop your bottom down and really relax, get a few belly laughs in and feel like you've been her best friend forever. Don't sit in that chair........I've got dibs.
Amy specializes in helping you find the perfect gift. Not just any gift. These are original, fun and perfect...........I'm sure she'll help you if you're stumped. She made this above. I always love that sugar look. She sells some of that sugar on her site. "Poor some sugar on me!".........I couldn't help it. 
This is NO ordinary suitcase that you might see moving along the conveyor belt.......Isn't that darling? It's in her online store. Who hasn't seen these in a thrift store? Now you know what to do with them. Decorate, get crafty.
I'm gonna sit here.........and watch the magic happen.
I gotta go back and read up more. I wasn't sure if this was in her HOME studio, or a shop. But regardless........isn't it stunning? This has got to be the most perfect cabinets for craft spaces. 
Now you know why I was intimidated. And now you know why I'm just gonna sit in the chair.
And who can resist these baby booties? Are these not the cutest little shoes you have ever seen? I am thinking they would come complete with that great crackle sound that babies would like too.
Even if you are a CM guru, I'm sure you've had a stray stack of photos that need some attention. Love the tabs.
Very cute. She shows a tutorial on this.......CUTE! Makes me want to do this project just for the tabs........who cares about getting organized........but it would be nice wouldn't it?
I'm not much of a jewelry wearer, but that doesn't stop me from admiring it. But after seeing this below.......this makes me want several pieces of my own so I can display it like that. 
Isn't that cool? 
To return the favor she..........
Then I may need to take a bath. She's got a recipe for homemade bath salts. Very cool, and what a great gift idea.
We must be cut from a portion of the same cloth.........or at least we have a lot of the same taste's............I noticed that we featured several of the same people. Great minds think alike! 
What? You don't know what that is? Why they are the ever popular Tampon string lights. 
I get almost giddy when I can make something beautiful from something someone discarded........
Tracy is oozing the glam. She has taken our discarded bottles, found vintage anything and created a whole new world. Very artsy stuff. She and her soldering thingy are a force to be reckoned with. Anything from jewelery or charms.........or bottles...........and now adding photography to her resume. She has it all. I could learn a bit from her I'm sure.
She bought a bunch of vintage buttons and decided to make this necklace one day. Style! She's got style. Someone without style wouldn't have placed the perfect paper underneath. All of her photos are very well done, very pleasing to the eye. Relaxing.
This she can't take credit for. It's from her girlfriends home. But she has sense enough to take the photo..........you know what they say? Birds of a feather, flock together. 
This she can take credit for. This is in her home. Another naked frame..........I LOVE NAKED FRAMES! And it's all chippy.........I'm getting goosebumps. And when you're done swooning over the naked frame.........what about that other large frame? Cool isn't it?
Just before you think you want to hate her...........you can't. She's nice. She makes pumpkin face mask for gifts. I have always been interested in home remedies.........never heard of using pumpkin. Gonna have to look that up and remember it for next October.
Before I forget.......she also has a few tutorials. WE LOVE TUTORIALS!
