   I’m a wanderer for sure! Hence the necessity for a craft room. I have so much stuff, the worst part is forgetting I already have something and get home from the store and bam i have 10 haha … sometimes this gives me a great excuse to share with my friends and family though so it’s a win win situation!

   I have a door begging for a summer wreath. Come here and break the following directions rule too.

   I spent many hours in the disciplinarians office back in the day for my aversion to following directions!

   We could have been disobedient BFF’s!

   I am a planner – otherwise, I would get started, realize I didn’t have a crucial item, get frustrated, throw the craft out the window and have to start all over again.

   I don’t know if this will make sense but I plan it but then I wing it because I plan a ton at once.

   I always find stuff at the craft store or dollar spot at Target etc and if I love it I buy it and figure out what to do with it later. I do plan some things but I find that if I see something I absolutely LOVE it will inspire me. Love the fabric, can’t wait to see what you make with it. Come by and check me out at http://www.yankeedoodledesigns.com, todays post is just like yours, something I found at the dollar spot!

   I usually start out with a plan, but somewhere along the way, I end up winging it!

   I am usually a winger too Shannon. Funny, I do not follow directions well at all either!

    I wing it almost every. single. time. I find that if I plan a craft, it doesn’t feel fun anymore. Kind of like if someone tells me that I have to do something, then I am so not doing it…like you with the wreath. The minute you thought, well now I need to make a summer wreath, you couldn’t do it.

    I “accumulate” many things at yard sales and thrift stores….stuff I just “know” I’ll use, but I renovate another house every 2-3 yrs, so I’m usually just working on whatever project I need to do next to finish a space.

    If I walk into a craft store I have planned it, if I wing it I have started it at home and don’t know what the heck I”m doing. 🙂

    Hope you are having a fabulous week.

    This made me smile! I am a winger! I find things that are really pretty or have potential, bring it home and then decide. Sometimes my wheels start turning at the store, but like you, I will change my mind when I actually sit down to do it. LOVE the fabric 🙂

    Wing it…for sure. I can’t do series or themes cause I don’t stay with it. I have crafting add.

    Cute wreath! My answer to the question is – BOTH! 🙂 I usually go into Michaels or JoAnn’s with a project in mind and come home with a whole SLEW of projects in hand! 🙂 Love those pretty prints! Have fun crafting chica!:)
