I had my big state test on Tuesday, so for the past couple of weeks I've been studying non-stop. Studying does not leave a lot of time for crafting. Still, I was able to squeeze in a few random projects. I bought these wood arrows from Etsy. They came un-stained; so I had my husband stain them for me.

Even though the weather forecast called for heavy rain, we ventured out to The Elephant Trunk (New Milford, CT) yesterday. Yes, the same flea market featured on the show Flea Market Flip. All I can say is wow! It was amazing. But note the dark clouds in the sky. We got rained on several times. Still, we were all troopers. My eight year old barely complained. Barely.

I didn't feel like doing the Mod Podge transfer method and I didn't...

I will have some news in a few weeks. I went back to school. Well a very specific school, so I've been juggling home life, work, crafting and school over the past few weeks. But I am still here.
