I craft at night after my kiddos go to bed which explains the name of my blog! I have 2 link parties a week called Hoo are you? and Hoo’s got talent? I would love for you to come and check them out and link up to them. I also am a high school special education teacher, so I need fast crafts for the little time I have to spend on them. So that is what I am showing off today is a fast and easy holiday decoration.
about leslie: She is a working mom, who teaches Special Education at the high school level who loves to craft! She has a huge little addiction to crafting! She can’t help it – she sees cute ideas and has to make them. She loves to sew, paint, and decorate! She gets excited to open a can of paint because she just LOVEs the smell of it – painting is her therapy along with all her other crating obsessions.
