Thanks to Stephanie at Stop the Ride for a second opportunity to host Make it From Scratch. I am truly inspired by the folks who are out there making things themselves and love being part of a community that is not only experimenting with creativity in the kitchen or craft room, but also rejecting the idea that everything anyone could ever want or need could be bought for $3.99 and made in China.

Oh, so crafty!
