Welcome to the holiday weekend for those who live in the States. Though we are celebrating Labor Day, I know a lot of other crafters like myself plan to use this weekend to work, but work on crafts, which isn’t always like work though you feel like you have really accomplished something. I’ve started my mental to-do list. What about you? If you are thinking of getting a little creative this weekend with your own to-do crafts, here are some bloggers with a few ideas for you.
