  5. Can I please be as cool as you are?! Seriously, you make the cutest stuff and it seems so easy, but I don't think I could ever think up this stuff. I wish I lived close by so I could get some major craft tutorials! I'd love a black or pink pair so I'll keep my fingers crossed.

  84. How many time can I say THANK YOU for this how-to? Cuz you deserve it 100 times over. I seriously just saw earrings like this online last week and thought, "Hey, that doesn't look hard. I bet I could make something like that if I could find where to get the supplies." And here I am, browsing for craft ideas and stumble onto your blog and it's everything I could ask for...and more!! THANK YOU!! :)

    I am adding these to every Christmas gift to women this year. Plus I'll make some for me as well!

    Thanks again for all these awesome craft tips!
