I remember long glorious afternoons making cards and my own printing blocks to make my own line of stationery. I shared my love of crafting by making toys for myself and presents for others. Later in my younger adult life I also incorporated art and craft into group parties and craft activities for teenagers at school.

Fast forward many years… nowadays I want to share this love of crafting with my two children as well. It’s common for us to have several art and craft projects going on at once!

As the kids have grown older, I find that we are competing with a busy schedule and digital media for their time and attention. Often, not wanting “yet ANOTHER unfinished project lying around” stops me from getting started in the first place.
