Wanted to share some blogs with great craft ideas that I have been reading lately:

1. Wine cork fridge magnets from The Inspired Collection. A crafting idea so easy even a non-crafter like me can do it. How I would make it even more frugal: you know those advertising magnets that come unrequested in your mailbox occasionally from local realtors or that pizza place you don't go to? I save those with the future intent on making a craft idea just like this one. My current problem with this craft idea? I drink cheapskate wine out of a box(pretty dang tasty I might add El Capistro).....may have to rethink that.

2. Sand Dollar Garland from one of my new favorite decorating on a dime (and sometimes roadside finds) blogs Homeroad. This past summer she created her own sand dollar garland on the cheap after seeing a similar one at Pottery Barn. Yet another Pottery Barn inspired craft was painting seashells silver. I have seen silver plated seashells in many decorating stores but always shied away due to price. Seashells and silver are two of my favorite things therefore this is also going on my future crafting list.

3. A cool Christmas Craft - the Driftwood Christmas Tree from The Space Between. Can you tell I can't wait to live by the Ocean? Free crafting supplies yeah!

4. Shout out to fellow Canadian Blogger at Scraps of Me. She is currently running a contest for scrap booking goodies. A nice family style blog about living life, crafting, and couponing Canadian Style. Check it out!
