This is what I’ve had in the past week… a serious itch to create!  Every once in a while, I make these crazy trips to Michael’s and wander around the store trying to find all the little pieces it takes to create something I’m inspired to make.  This week it was an earring holder frame (or whatever you call it?) and some made-with-love decorations for our baby’s walls.
