it's so fun to organize all the wonderful things I find on the internet & to see what other people have been browsing & pinning.
I am a big fan of crafts & anything DIY (do-it-yourself) - I think that is also why I love baking & cooking, because it's all kinda crafty & its fun to experiment.
I have tried not to spend too much of my 'pinning' time on items that I want to BUY because Michael & I are trying to be wise with our money & also, it's quite easy to become greedy! so instead, I've been looking for ideas for our new house, DIY projects & recipes. however, this has presented a new, unanticipated (for me) semi-problem
comparing!
I have been browsing some wonderful blogs. Blogs written by women that I think I could be friends with (they seem so creative & interesting), women that are incredibly gifted, creating recipes from scratch & coming up with wonderful home-made ideas. Sometimes I feel just like a copy cat of sorts.
I find that if I spend too much time thinking about it, it makes me think that I'm not creative or crafty or skilled.. all of which I know to be untrue! (not to toot my own horn, but let's call a crafter a crafter!) why is it so easy to see other peoples skills as a personal weakness...?? frustrating!
so, I'm ending my ridiculous pity party before it officially starts. i mean, I'm in a card club for crying out loud! that is crafty!! :)
on a much different note.. in just over 12 hours I will be meeting the newest klassen baby, and I will be an auntie for the 3rd time. I can hardly sleep I am so excited. I am excited to see what everett will think of his new sibling. i am very confident that Everett will instantly love this new baby.
being an auntie is the best!

You are crafty and creative and fabulous and people should feel blessed to know you. I know I am!
Amazing how a big-boy haircut seemingly transformed your adorable nephew from a toddler into a little man. What?! SO handsome :-)
Totally get this...sometimes I have to remind myself to use my own crafty brain because looking at everyone else's ideas makes me feel like I don't have any. It's a fine line...feeling inspired or feeling discouraged by seeing all those beautiful pictures...
