Welcome to the second annual DeStash-Along!
Are you trying to be a frugal crafter this year? Are your friends/significant others/goldfish becoming alarmed by the vast crafting resources you have amassed? Is your collection of UFOs extensive enough to deserve a place in a museum? Do you simply enjoy the challenge of making things out of the materials on hand? If so, this is the thread for you.
In the spirit of last years' thread (
http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=282392.0) we will be posting pictures of projects made predominantly from stashed materials, and encouraging others in their quest to rediscover and utilize their stash!
