It’s Time to Update the To-Do List

Once again, my planned craft list is spiraling out in multiple directions. Here’s everything I’ve got planned for just the coming weeks: – Scrap52 still needs a new name. It’s also (clearly) an ongoing project. I need to get this week’s picture printed. -Weekly MLO make-and-takes. Next week we’re using ACTION WOBBLES (I love these things). -Glitter Ritz cards. I …
