A Little Bit of Everything Crafty

 Happy January!  Well, the goal for January was to start 12 new projects and I want to complete all 12 by June.  I'll number each project as I complete it.  Of course, I will start and finish other things along the way but I'll let you know about the completion of the original 12.

I'll take that as a win!
