{tutorial} i cannot do them

OK, I was in over my head.  I can do crafts.  I can even get crafty.  I cannot do tutorials.

I was so inspired and motivated by all the wonderful tutorials that I see on some of my favorite blogs, but I cannot put one together.  Either I forget to take the pictures, am missing a critical stage, or just can’t seem to get it all together.  Recently, I read this blog post on Urban Bliss Life where Marlynn said she would probably never do a tutorial, and it hit me.  I probably won’t either!  So, from now on I’m not going to tease you with a tutorial.

At any rate, I have been getting crafty using some of the tutorials I have found on some great blogs.  I will share my works with you, and the blogs where I got the great ideas from!  Please do stay tuned for that…
