Tutorial Tuesday

Okay, so it's not Tuesday anymore but I'm still up and truth be told, I completely forgot about the new segment I was going to add to the blog this week. I'm having way too much fun on my "new blog high".

Freakin' Adorable Teeny-Tiny Faerie Journals

I've been wanting to create some of these are journals and make them into charms for necklaces and such. Now to find a small hole punch...and some people who would be willing to take the thousands I plan to make off my hands...
