Fantastic Friday: {frolic}

I am obsessed with reading Chelsea Fuss' blog: {frolic}! I love all of her posts! From her tutorials to her product posts, everything she puts on there is worth taking a look at! Her latest post, Project Wedding DIY: flower crown, is sensationally simple to make and just as elegant as an elaborate wreath! It's right up my alley! Something worth bookmarking for when I get married some day...lol! One of the things I love most about Chelsea's blog is her list of sponsors! She has so many great sponsors.

{papermash uk} is one such sponsor and I think their products are super gorgeous! Just check out this amazingly beautiful list package:

This is like a dream come true for me! I love making lists and how much cooler would the look on the paper above? Also, being a notebook lover (I am, after all, a writer), I have fallen in love with their notebooks! This one in particular beckons me to buy it:

Such beautiful paper products for the girl who has everything and wants more of it! The best thing on the site, you may ask? The *free* section is pretty great! Right now they have a craft called Sweet Straws craft project by Olivia Kanaley which is pretty, well, SWEET! It's very cute and the instructions are available for download (hover over the word free on here and it will take you directly to the download page). I downloaded it and can't wait to make some!

Isn't that pretty?

This post is making me want to craft now! LOL! Well, now you can see why I love {frolic} so much! Who wouldn't with all the great things you can find on there? Thanks, Chelsea, for keeping such a beautiful blog and sharing your ideas and favorite things!

Cheers!

Monday Musings: Blogs, Music and other things I love...

How lovely the sound of the Emma soundtrack is, particularly since I now own it because I caved and bought it at iTunes. I couldn't resist! It will not be long before I cave in and buy the actual film on DVD. Today, after re-inflating my bed and folding laundry, I set out to do a little "computer organizing" and began working on getting all of the blogs I follow on my Feeds list rather than the Favourites. It is much easier to manage them. I also re-arranged my Favourites and created new folders for different websites. As I got the blog feeds in order I was able to peruse some of my faves and that was a lot of fun. One of my favourite crafting blogs is called Things We Make and is managed by Amy Palanjian. This blog showcases the crafts of many and is a great source of inspiration.

Not only does Amy post about the crafts of those who inspire her, she also posts great recipes and other enjoyable things! You must check out her skillet cornbread, I think I will soon be trying to make some myself! Her latest Weekend Project post, Learning to Crochet got me thinking that I really ought to start learning myself and use that little kit and yarn I bought! The box is still sitting near my bed, not at all looked at since I first bought it at Tuesday Morning in Princeton, NJ. I have no idea when I became so side-tracked. Anyway, it did inspire me to take it up and also to finish knitting the scarf I began two years ago (hopefully I can finish it before winter is out!).

There are so many blogs I follow that this blog post could become eternal if I tried to mention them all so I have decided that every Monday I will mention one in the hopes of sharing with my readers a bit about the other great blogs and ideas that are out there. Things We Make is quite visually pleasing and also a great read. I hope you take the time to visit it! Expect a change in the way my blog looks this month! I've decided that with it being a new year I want a fresh new look! Also, I have been thinking that while my blog looks pretty the background makes it a bit difficult to properly see links that I post so in order to remedy that I have decided to go with a new look!

Until tomorrow!
