“I love cardmaking. Rain, snow or sunshine! Having my grandchildren over and helping them make Mother’s and Father’s day cards is best because we get to have fun doing things together.”
Betty H. from Desoto, MO

“My daughter and I make Sculpey food for our American Girl dolls. Delicious looking treats for the dolls that keep our hands out of the candy jar.”
Ren S. from Show Low, AZ
