This weekend we celebrated 4 years with our doggie babies, Jasper (left) and Rocky (right).

One tradition we have for celebrating their anniversary from breaking out of the big house (aka the local Humane Society shelter) is to make them some extra special dog snacks.

They are a mix of ground turkey and rice, and so delicious!


I hope you also had a wonderful weekend full of celebrating. Here are some crafty links to help you celebrate the joy of crafting.

Welcome to the Crafty Princess Diaries, my weblog and site where I get to blab about my passion for crafts, primarily jewelry making, and my crafting career. My name is Tammy Powley, and I decided to call my blog the Crafty Princess Diaries because of this very dorky picture I have of myself and because my husband often refers to me as “the princess and the pea,” which is just another way to say that I tend to be particular sometimes. Along with this weblog, I have a number of jewelry making books published.
