Craft: Papercraft

I was looking at my friend Robyn's blog and thought this papercrafting was so stinkin' cute that I had to share it. I have mentioned it before, but I love taking some ordinary and making it extraordinary....and Robyn did just that! (Way to go Robyn, you are fab!)

Here is the link, check it out! She is one talented lady! http://bobobbin.blogspot.com/2008/10/from-thisto-that.html

Why Beautiful Basics?

Welcome!!
This is my blog about Beautiful Basics, the basic things that almost seem like lost arts, like baking bread or tatting lace. Its also a blog about little old me. Who am I? A southern girl with Texas roots and American pride who loves the views of Paris, a good art museum, and a good chicken fried steak...I also currently live in Australia.

For those of you who are LDS, I have also been encouraged to add ideas for Relief Society Activity Nights at church. Have you ever had one of those (what I call) revolving door callings? The calling that you keep getting over and over again...you can't figure out if you are good at it and that is why you keep getting called or if you are so bad at it that they keep thinking "maybe this time she will get it right!"? That is me with what was formerly knowns as HFPE. I keep getting called into it in some form or fashion over and over again. I love it when the Bishop or counselor extends the calling and then says " Are you familiar with the HFPE program?" or a similar statement....I just want to say...uh, yeah..remember about 6 months ago when I was in charge of it??!! :) Oh well, I must still have SOMETHING to learn from it! At this exact moment (I hate to jinks myself) I am actually in Primary and not HFPE. So, this is my blog, I hope you find great ideas here and some inspiration. For those in my ward, you will look at this and say...yep, went to that HFPE...so it may be nothing new to you but I also hope to post other ideas as well.

Please feel free to email me at beautifulbasics@gmail.com if you have suggestions or comments!

Here's to being Beautiful, inside and out!
