I love to craft, and when I have free time, I try to do a few crafts that will make my home look more seasonal. I found some wonderful projects on the web that I would like to share with you, because I'm sure you may want to try a few for yourself. These project links will take you off Tweezle's pages, but a click on the back button will bring you right back.
