Shine on Fridays #62!

Hey, friends!  Can you believe it's time to party again already?  It's been a busy week here in Artsy Land...not only have we been making bookmarks, canister labels, and various other projects, we've also been focused on meeting with the school Little Crafter will hopefully be attending this fall.  Today, he got to go shadow the class he would be in, and we both loved it.  Now, my biggest problem is going to be that he wants to go back every day and not wait until August!

Anyway, back to the party stuff!  There were some really fantastic things linked up last week; you can see ten of my absolute favorites in my Top 10 Thursday post.  Here's a peek at one of the most viewed links {stop by Happy Go Lucky to see the other}!

New Year's Memory Jar: Phaedra's Adventures

What a fun idea to have a jar where you jot down and store your best memories as they happen!  And hey, wouldn't this be a great use for Cammie?  Hmmmm!

Our guest host this week is the fun and fabulous Kirsten from One Tough Mother!

Here's how she describes herself:

Lover of sweet tea, washi tape, and stupid movies.  Doer of the dishes.  Keeper of the mismatched socks.  I am a full-time working wife and mom trying her best to maintain her sanity in a crazy world.  {Re}Married for 5 years to my best friend and learning to co-parent my pre-teen daughter jointly with my ex-husband keeps me busy, but my love for crafting, photographing and writing fills my free time and my heart.  I blog at One Tough Mother, where I share crafts, organizational tips, and home decor.  You can find me on Facebook and Twitter.

When my creativity collides with glue and paper, things like this happen:
