Crafting is more than just a pastime for me; it's a passion and it's a creative outlet that allows me to showcase my attention to detail, patience, and artistic abilities. Over the years, I've honed my crafting skills through various projects, including crocheting, drawing and painting, and using my Cricut as well to design and personalized objects for home or the classroom.
