Cool Stuff

Julie Fei-Fan Balzer

Just a round up of some cool stuff from around the web…

WallsNotebook

You can buy this notebook, or you can just try it out online.  Basically, it's a sketchbook filled with empty walls (and train cars) for you to doodle over.  Here's a little sample of me playing around online:

Very fun!

Technically, I believe this is a craft for kids, but I think it would make such an awesome background for a scrapbook page, or a really lovely piece of fabric…lots of possibilities!  Find the instructions here.  The person who created the tutorial made this festive bunting:

I think these are the coolest candles ever!  They're stamped!  Instructions are here.

7-2-penny-tile-1

Shut up!  This is a floor made from pennies!  I found it here.

This before and after blew my mind!  It's from Design Sponge.

Wow!  I can't wait to own a home and do fun renovation projects.  The problem with being a renter is that you never get to do anything really cool.

Finally, I have to point out an AMAZING new site that I found: "Craftastrophe."  The site is focused on crafting disasters.  And they have some doozies!

Toenail-spoon-rest1

This is a toenail spoon rest!  Ew!

And I want to say a big THANK YOU! to everyone who left a comment on my last post.  So sweet and full of love and good advice.  I appreciate the sentiments and I appreciate each of you more than I can express.

MWAH!  (That's the sound of a big wet kiss.)
