Lisa, one of the lovely participants of the 100 Every Days Project, recently shared with me that she's been feeling like she needs more materials for her 100 days--she's starting to feel a bit limited with what she's working with and that her craft supplies could use a little boost. Lisa asked if I could share what materials and tools I use for my project. I'm glad she reached out because it's a great question and I can totally relate! How do we make our tools and materials interesting and exciting to us for 100 days and in general? When I started replying to Lisa, I kept sending more and more things so I decided to put it together in a blog post. I wanted to share it with you in case you have felt this way too! And since it's the start of another round of the 100 Day Project (today is the official first day), I also thought it might come in handy, especially during that lull that always happens at some point (it's usually around days 60 - 70 for me). Whether you're working on a 100 day project or not, I hope this can help give you some new ideas if you need them, look at your existing tool kit with fresh eyes, or provide some suggestions on new things you might want to add. In this post, I share: - What my staples are and different ways I have used them
- Some fun and versatile items to try
- Using what we have around us
- Additional resources

Happy Day 1 if you've begun a new project today! And if you've joined me on Jan 1st for 100 Every Days, can you believe we are past the half way point! (Here's a recap of my last 50 days on TikTok or IG.) Whether you're on day 1, 50, or somewhere in between, are participating or doing your own thing, keep on creating :) Take good care and talk to you soon, |

PS: This is my 9th 100 Day Project! I've written about it and shared different resources and print outs. If you'd like to check it out, you can find them all here. PPS: Who is excited for part 2 of Bridgerton?! I can't wait! One of the sections from my project was inspired by Sophie's silver mask :) |
