Are You Crafty In Ohio? Come Hang Out With Me At This Event!

I have to admit, there is a good reason I don't post a ton of cute, Pinterest-worthy crafts. It's because I am not crafty...At all...In any capacity whatsoever. My stick figures are even sad looking, and my kids could probably do better at them than I can. So I leave my creativity for the kitchen, because I love to cook.

However, one of my goals is to branch out and try new things. After all, I am the proud mama of 2 toddlers, and they will eventually grow tired of finger-painting, coloring, and playing with Play-Doh. I know that one day they're going to expect a bit more out of their artistically-challenged mother, and I want to be capable of doing something...Okay, anything...that results in a cute keepsake of some kind.

A friend of mine, Tara, is super-crafty, and I am constantly in awe of her hand-made creations. She has an etsy shop, Tara's Stamp Pad, and she specializes in greeting cards, tags, and other stamped treasures that are sure to delight. These are so adorable, and a lot better than anything you'll find in the greeting card aisle. (Sorry, Hallmark, but it's true!) Tara's creations have a lot more personality and whimsy, and they're all made by hand with love. She even does fantastic custom designs to suit any style or occasion.

Check out just a few examples of her work:

How adorable is this Domestic Goddess?!

This elegant card shows appreciation perfectly!

Feeling sappy and romantic? This is the perfect card to give.

Here's an assortment of other designs.

Aren't those super cute? I love them, and I know anyone who receives them will. too!

Well Tara knows all too well that not everyone is the Crafting Goddess that she is. So she has these great social events to help teach others how to create these cards and other items, all while meeting new people and being social. I am headed to her next event, with my husband Dan in tow, and I cannot wait to test my abilities! I feel sorry for Dan, though...He's going to be the "Man-Candy" in a group full of giddy women. Should be fun!
