Now that my best friend got engaged, I am the happiest crafter alive, and I'm ready to make ALL of the things. First stop: engagement party central! My biff (that's what we call each other :P) Michelle, like most women, has had an idea of what she wants her wedding to look like, so her …

Aw man! Such a thrilling ride it's been with this order - from the moment I got the call, to tackling the making of the ramp, the little truck boxes and finally the big truck prop... So you know, the end will be no different! Before I show you the final pictures of everything, let's …
