If I Were...

...crafty, I would make myself some notebooks. Oh, wait!! I am crafty!! :)
I love using pretty notebooks at work because plain old notepads are boring to me. And last week I had the strong urge to craft a few of my own so I did. I need some practice, but I have endless pretty cardstock and all the other supplies, so I'll definitely be making more.

If I were...

....crafty and had the time to do things other than procrastinate and read about being crafty, I would totally do some of these projects.

More fun craftiness I will likely never do can be found on my Pinterest boards.

If I Were...

...crafty, I would  love to do any of these. But I am not. I like to think I'm crafty but these put me to shame...

Super cute - would make fun personalized gifts for any occasion.
Seems simple enough but I guess I'll bookmark the link for now.

Pretty! And I like polka dots. And the colors...simple!

Found via Pinterest.
Totally came make this! Just need to find time. And dig for ribbon. And tear apart other necklaces.

*Note, only one of these is from my Pinterest board. The rest I had bookmarked in my files (you know, OG Pinterest) from long ago. But I've pinned other DIY crafty stuff. And truth be told, this post was composed months ago for days like this when I feel I have nothing to offer up. Back-up posts are great.

PS - I've also decided to start a weekly "If I Were..." post. Because, well, honestly I have a few of these saved into draft. Haha.
