Crafting Extravaganza

October 7-11, 2011

In past university working experiences, I have always assumed that I would have to work breaks, all except winter break. This time, that was not the case. For fall break I decided it was time that I reciprocated a visit.

With much of my free time being spent poking around on a website called pinterest, I was overwhelmingly inspired to create­– to craft. The enjoyment of creating things is only magnified one hundred fold by sharing the experience with someone. So I headed up to Messiah College to pay my friend Aletheia (a crafting enthusiast) a visit.


I could not have asked for a better break! Each day ended with at least one if not two creations complete, some of which were culinary. Plus we hit some amazing thrift stores and yard sales. Both Aletheia and I walked away with some great finds! For me, my foldable bookshelf hit the top of the list. I have been in the market for one for over two years. I had to surrender a whole whopping four dollars for it. Such satisfaction is felt when the deal you have waited for finally arrives.

It was the icing on the perfectly baked weekend cake.

So great.

Indeed.






Here are some of our creations:
