I've been taking craft classes my entire life. From puppets to ceramics to basket weaving and wreaths designs. My mother was a master seamstress, and she could sew anything. She always helped me with whatever my new project was, even though I did not have the God given talent. I taught school for 25+ years and sponsored a puppet performing group of middle schoolers. I made my ROAR lion puppet from a dog pattern. Basket weaving came at a craft sale where I met Bonnie Rideout from Bonnie's Baskets. Wreath making came from watching Damon from DecoExchange do unbelievable wreaths and colors. I was hooked. My mother and I went to craft shows for many years, but now I have items in gift shops and Etsy.
