Next, Cathy Attix (  http://www.trinketsinbloom.com ) was inspired by a purse she saw in a magazine and made one all her own.  If you love neon and are looking for a new handy clutch, be sure to see how easy it is to make this cute purse.

Check out Mark Montano’s  ( http://markmontano.com ) latest inspiration to upcycle a sweater.  I’m pretty impressed that he can sketch an octopus upside down. Of course, you can sketch your design from what ever angle  you choose!

One of the sweetest gifts we can give each other is more positive affirmations.  Margot Potter ( http://icanmakemetalstampedjewelry.com  )  makes it easy to wear or share positive affirmations with this metal stamped beaded necklace  jewelry project.
