For me, the best part of crafting is being able to create totally unique gifts while experiencing a creative release through the process. In today's Totally hOT box, we take a sneak peek at some fun creations by Jamie from A Forest Frolic ... items that can be made for lots of end-of-the-year gifts for students and teachers. So inspiring and cute.

Art has always been a place for me to go when I want to escape the stress and pressures of everyday life. When working on an art project, my mind makes an instant shift and all my worries slip away; Nirvana takes over and I am at peace
