(of many to come!)
So, here I am ready to post my first craft for the world to see. I'll admit, I'm a little nervous.
A few weeks ago, Mr. Craft Pants bought me a decorative star. I was so excited because I had wanted one for a long time. I had a lot of ideas for that little star brewing up in my mind. And finally, one was all mine.
Once it was in my hands, I was terrified to do anything to it. I was so worried that I was going to mess up that precious star.
After debating in my mind for a few days what I wanted to do with that beloved star, I decided to throw all my previous ideas out the window and just get to work!
Here is what I came up with:
I'm very happy with how it came out. I just wish that it matched my decor. Dang.So, here I am ready to post my first craft for the world to see. I'll admit, I'm a little nervous.

I think that a star decorated that way would be perfect for a baby nursery. It would give the room such a great feel, don't you think?
So, tell me. Are you ever afraid to start crafting, or am I just crazy?

Okay, first, your blog name is *killing me* it's so funny. There. I'm dead. As for being afraid to start a project because of fears of messing up? Um. All the time. But I do like you did and jump in. You wouldn't believe the project fails I've had. It would be a rather fun linky party actually...
That star is adorable and anybody would be happy to get it. But you're right--perfect in a nursery. Happy blogging!
Would it work for any of those people who you are making Christmas presents for? Watch my blog because I do some ridiculously easy "how tos" and I sell at shows so I have ideas you can use. Welcome to the blog world!!!!!!
That is adorable!! Your blog name is fa-reeking hilarious!!
Your blog name is too funny! And seriously clever!! I can't wait to see how your blog develops. I'm never afraid to start a project. I just don't seem to have the time to do all that I want. Maybe if I weren't blogging so much...Nah! That can't be it! :)

Lovin' your blog name. Ha! As a Texas girl, I like anything having to do with a Texas star. Great job. Welcome to the fabulous world of blogging.
Thank you for stopping by my blog (This Southern Girls Nest) and commenting.
Your star looks great! I just love barn stars and crafting with them. I usually spray paint. I myself have been afraid to put paper on them. I will have to try it though because yours turned out so good.
It looks great! I always worry a bit too when I put my craft "out there" but so far I always received a positive response. Can't wait to see what you come up with! :)
Okay, I'm seriously loving your blog name AND your star. It's always a little nerve-wracking putting your stuff out there, but I'm so glad you posted! Thanks for visiting my new blog and inviting me over, I will definitely be back!!
That's just too dang cute! And if you don't have a place to put it, honey, send it to me! I can find TONS of places to hang that beautiful star.
Thanks for joining me today, hope to see ya again next week!
Lovingggg the blog name!! Tooo funny! Love your star! It turned out wonderfully! Welcome to blogging, it's addictinggg!
Very pretty :-) I have a big star like this one that I painted copper. Now I'm thinking I might need to get more creative with it :-)
Don't worry, you're not the only one who gets nervous about starting a craft. Happens to me all the time. Which is why I have this huge collection of craft ideas in my head but no actual finished crafts!!

Thought your project turned out great! I know what you mean about being afraid to start something. I always used to hold on to supplies, waiting for the perfect project or the perfect idea. I had stuff for 10 to 20 years! When I turned 45, I decided to give myself permission to just forge ahead, figuring my son would have to use everything if I didn't. And it's turned out fine. So go ahead! Give yourself permission to fail. And be lavish -- use all your good stuff at once. You'll find more. And I bet you'll love the results, as least most of the time! xo
