I am not crafty, and have always wished I could walk through a craft store and come up with my own ideas!

I was an art teacher before I became a SAHM so we make EVERYTHING!!! My 3 year old son can't get enough of arts and crafts, and we have art play dates with his friends to paint, glue, draw, and lots more!

I am crafty . I find therapeutic firnme.'I like to scrapbook, make wreaths, and other home decor time craft projects.

I am not crafty at all! I wish I could sew but I get crazy if anything goes wrong.

I wish I was crafty. I wish I could make handmade gifts to give year round.

I have been sewing for *gulp!* 48 years now. I make all sorts of one of a kind quilted purses, humbug bags, quilts, especially quilts! Donated oodles of polar fleece hats and reversible winter headbands/earwarmers to WRAL Coats for the Children this year.

My latest love is making unique quilts for Project Linus, which end up at Womack Army Hospital for very sick children, which they get to keep. I enjoy the quilting and the joy of giving!

I'm semi-crafty. I knit a little, sew a little, make a little jewelry...or I did before I had a child :)

So...not...crafty. Wish I could whip up cool things.

I don't have much time to be crafty but when I get a chance I like to make wreaths, Christmas ornaments, and gifts for other people.

I try to be crafty! I enjoy making cards and scrapbooking!
