I talked about money being tight and really needing to focus on priorities to get our finances in a place that makes us happy and comfortable. If you missed that post, you can catch it here. I'm sure a lot of you are in the same position. As luck would have it, I'm a craft supply hoarder. I definitely have my share of paints, adhesives, strings and the basic crafting items.

Gold Foil Doily Decoupaged Box
This is sponsored post, but all ideas, images and opinions are 100% my own. I was lucky enough to get a box of Martha Stewart Crafts for some holiday crafting.
