I craft because there is so much satisfaction in knowing that you can make things with your own hands, for your home, family and friends, and because the world needs more glitter.

I craft because it is therapy for me. I love to make things and find it a challenge to change patterns and make them mine. It keeps me closer to the memory of my father and mother who got me started. I can even “hear” them giving me pointers and “helping” me when I’m stumped. I LOVE to recycle so re-make patterns for the materials I have on hand.

I craft because I love to start with the basic items such as paper, embellishments, wool and needles or any other supplies needed for the project. I find it relaxing to work my way through the project and am always amazed at how the item looks when complete. Then the greatest thing of all is to give the item to someone to enjoy!!!
