I love the lights, color, spirit, meaning and joy that it brings. As we wait for a house, I have been busily getting back into crafting. I started with Christmas projects of course!

Easy DIY Fabric Bookmarks
I love a fun, easy project. With a little scrap fabric, you can sew these sweet fabric bookmarks. They are colorful, fun, and a cheap thrill.
