Hot Craft Links!

| 0 comments

The heat is on in a big way down here in South Florida. It has been getting up in the low 90s every day, and it is just the end of June! July and August get even hotter! Amazingly enough, I have lived in this state most of my life and grew up when many places (house, school, car) didn’t have any or very little AC. How did I do it back then?  One way I beat the heat now is to chill out with some watermelon and munch while surfing the web in my air conditioned office. Find some hot crafting ideas and stay inside as you cool down with these great links:

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.
