I’m a huge fan of DIY Posts. In fact, I often encourage people who know how to do anything I don’t, to write about it. I wish I was more hands-on creative but my talent is not really next to paper and glue.
Funny story is: I went to an all girls private Catholic School (don’t picture mini-skirts and pillow fights!) and we had Crafts as a subject! We were supposed to sow, knit and use foil paper to create metallic paintings. 🙂
From that experience I cherish sewing the most! I love it! It relaxes me and it gives me the opportunity to buy something I love even if it’s 3 sizes larger because I can tailor it to my body! Many of my blouses and dresses have been turned from a size L into a S!
I want to start sharing DIY posts that inspire me and that make me smile! Those that I find on the web or that I think of and that I know would be awesome to try!! I also want to learn from you!
if you are a DIY kinda blogger, or know of some amazing ones, please feel free to comment or pingback on this post! For myself, is all about sharing the love, the knowledge and the experiences! 🙂

Dee, Not sure why you’ve not received it but I replied to you about how to pingback here…
Basically, when you are about to publish a post but you want, let’s say to ‘ping me back’ or trackback is another work – you either choose either one of my posts to link it, rather than just my url address. You can even let’s say pick the url link for my About or Contact page and I will get a notification that you’ve ping-ed me back there. In your recent posts, you’ve given a shout out for me right as wrote Sweet Blogger Friend Donah – instead of inserting the link as http://www.sweetjellybean.com, try doing it with this instead http://sweetjellybean.com/about/ – and if you go to my about page, you will see right at the bottom that you’ve ping-ed me back. Pingback works, when someone linked back to one of your posts or pages, or reblogged your post – I will get a notification if you’ve done any of this for approval. Sorry for the long how to.. hope this helps a little. if not, I am more than happy to include this in my next tutorial tidbits. 😉
