February is when it starts to get warmer in Georgia and it also begins the countdown to baseball season. Spring Training starts and when spring gets here it is time to hang out with friends and family outside.
Operation Be More Crafty is a little more complicated this month. I have been looking for Nathan’s Valentine’s Day gift and I thought i would get him a corn hole board. I had seriously never heard it called that until I moved south. We called it bean bag toss or bags. Anyways, I couldn’t find a set that I liked or that wasn’t going to cost me a fortune to buy so I decided to tell him about what my idea was and asked if we could make one instead.
So for February’s Operation Be More Crafty I am going to make a corn hole board. I have found a great website to use for the dimensions and how to’s of making it and it is going to be a family effort. Nathan is going to help measure and cut and hammer and I am going to paint it and make the bags. This one might take a little bit more time than just this month. So I might have to make this one a two month craft. Please bear with me while I get this one together.
While we are working on this one together. I am going to make another craft as well. We recently finished the office in the basement and I finally have a craft/blogging space of my own. I will be showing it off in my Stop and Smell the Roses video next month. I am trying to figure out how I want to keep everything organized and keep my thoughts planned out so I am going to make a magnet board out of a cookie sheet.

So this is going to be my official Operation Be More Crafty project for February and the corn hole board is going to be a side project.
