The Traveling Spoon is Getting Crafty!

For a few weeks now, I've been debating whether or not to include crafts, home accents and DIY ideas on The Traveling Spoon. Since this is essentially a food and travel blog, I wasn't sure they'd fit. Still, I spend a lot of time browsing other craft and lifestyle blogs, and I've come to the realization that crafting and creating are a big part of my life. In fact, they used to be a big part of my everyday life until this blog came along and coaxed me into trading time at my craft table for more time in the kitchen.

I don't regret the exchange, but I do miss crafting.

And so, I've decided to introduce a few of my crafting ideas on the site, starting next week. Die-hard cooks and bakers needn't be disappointed - I've no intention of slacking off on the recipe front - but hopefully the change will appeal to other readers whose interest is as...eclectic as my own!

I'll be sharing a few Valentine-themed craft ideas next week (how could I resist with all the hearts and cupids floating around the blogosphere?) but I'm even more excited to be sharing my first ever sponsored GIVEAWAY!!!

Thanks to the kind folks at My Memories, I've had the chance to try out a digital scrapbooking software called My Memories Suite - and they've given me the chance to give a copy away! I'll also be giving you my unvarnished opinion of their product and showcasing a few of the fun things it can do, so make sure you come back next week for a chance to win!
