I’m going to share a little secret with you..come closer…ok, here goes….I am domestically challenged! Yes, there, I said it. I don’t cook – did you realize I said “don’t” not “can’t”? I think I could be a really good cook but I just don’t cook…very often (for the record I do make a yummy Coconut Curry Shrimp!). And I am not the best of house cleaners. I do try my best though…hubby may say that’s not good enough, lol…truth be told he is a far better cook and cleaner that I (who knew when I married him? Bonus!) And lastly I don’t sew. Gosh I wish I did! I actually dream about having a rockin’ sewing machine and making super cute things for my kids and for the home. Well, I don’t need to wait!
You Can Make This is actually here to help those that may be shy or scared to try and make something. Those of us that are “domestically” challenged have a place that will hold our hand and give us a step by step guide on how to make all sorts of things, from crocheting to adorable applique shirts, they’ve got something for everyone! A little bit more info from You Can Make This…
www.YouCanMakeThis.com was created by a mom who wanted to provide downloadable instructions on how to make just about anything from children’s boutique clothing and jewelry, to handbags, home decor and more. What makes the site unique is that these instructions are written by everyday moms who have an expertise in an area. They are written in a way that makes you feel you have a friend sitting right next to you, telling you what to do next. They all have detailed instructions and step-by-step full-color photos so even the most “craft-challenged” person can make these items for their homes and families.

I can’t wait to try this out…and you can too! You can find FREE, yes FREE, instructions for all those in the picture below! Just sign up for their newsletter and they’ll send you instructions and online video and digital scrapbooking frames! Run, don’t walk…this is FREE! http://www.youcanmakethis.com/ycmt-newsletter.htm

Giveaway!
