Crafty Synergy

Crafty Synergy has interviewed almost all the people whose work I really admire here in the blog world. This is a tremendous honor for a girl who just does what she likes to do.

There might still be some time for creativity this week. I'll be adding books and jewelry to my Etsy shop along the week. Don't forget to visit frequently!
Etsy has been spoiling me too: my book was on the front page, and on the next day, my treasury was there! It makes me really happy.
So here's the newcomer:
