Shh, don’t tell!

I used to be a crafty person. Not like Wily Coyote or Felix the Cat–I’m talking about embroidering, scrapbooking, cross-stitching, and other artsy stuff.

I haven’t done anything hands-on-creative for a very long time. Who knows, I might have lost my touch. 

BUT!

I’m working on a Super Secret* craft project today. My youngest sister’s visiting me this weekend, and I want to give it to her as a surprise.

This project-which-shall-not-be-named-for fear-of-jinxing-it includes the following supplies: 

  • A shadow box frame
  • Special glue (with ventilation!)
  • Antique buttons (from my Nana’s button box)
  • This picture
  • Tons and tons of patience

If it turns out well, I’ll show it to you tomorrow.
