{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…

{inspiration} an outdoor harvest celebration
Someday, I hope to have an outdoor harvest party…



May need to plan to have the table set up in the wall tent in case of rain, but that may lead to some fun options, too!
