And the craftiness begins…
This is me in about 2nd grade. I was obsessed with this book called the S.S. Happiness Ship. My parents gave me one of the stuffed animal characters, Tasha the Elephant and I decided she needed a home. That is when I rounded up all the spare cardboard boxes in the house and crafted this giant ship. Since then I think I’ve perfected my cutting and taping abilities, but back then I thought this was a masterpiece.
Before the launching of the S.S. Happiness Ship, my parents realized I had a affinity for art at an early age. They encouraged my creativity with art lessons as I was always making, drawing or rigging something up with whatever I could find around the house. Clubhouses, boats, E.T. spaceships or Ewok villages…you name it, I made it. I think after a few years of always using up my mother’s roll of masking tape she brilliantly decided to share with Santa that I needed my OWN roll of tape. Santa obliged, and gave me my own tape every year for Christmas in my stocking. I was in heaven.
Now my skills have gotten better and I’ve decided it’s time to share my love of arts and crafts with others. I hope you enjoy as much as I do.
I love it! I’m excited to follow your blog. :)
On our first truly cold, windy, wet Olympia night I got warm fuzzies reading your blog and very excited to get to know you through this neat avenue we have these days of bilding virtual relationships and shared experiences!
Thanks for the sweet note Laura! I’m so glad you found me!!
