I just wanted to express how much I love your site. I get so many compliments on crafty things in my house and that I’ve made for my kids, and I always tell them it’s thanks to you. I am a crafter on a very limited income and when I discovered your site a couple years ago, it was a godsend. I was inspired to make fantastic costumes for my family this Halloween and it is all thanks to your site. As I head into Christmas, I’m excited to get more and more ideas for that season. Now instead of seeing the dollar store as a bunch of cheap crap, I see it as an opportunity.

So. Thank you. — Jan M., amovingtale.blogspot.com (10.03.2012)

I just spent two hours perusing repins and pins on Pinterest only to discover this blog/site. OMG, I am in love. I love design blogs and this one is my favorite because all/most of the materials come from some of my favorite stores (Target, Michaels, Dollar Tree). There were a lot of really cool projects that would work wonders for a DIY wedding. carnivalbride (04.08.12)

    I love your website but I’d like to see more man’s crafts. Valentine’s Day is coming up and I don’t know what to get my boyfriend of 3 months. I want to make him something that he will remember but what? Can you help me out?

  • Charity L

    I just found this site and I love it. My kids and I have already seen so many crafts that we can’t decide which to do first. I have also seen a few crafts here that I found on pinterest only you showed me how to do it for a fraction of the price. Thank you.
