Crafternoon Inspiration

I am hosting a Woman’s Crafternoon event at my local library in March.

Our project focus will be on making spring wreaths.

I have compiled some inspiration in preparation for the event.

Many of you may have already seen the last month on episodes from the new HGTV show Cash & Cari, but I thought I would share this tidbit of info anyways. The show is filmed right here in Michigan!
