Confessions of my Childhood

I have to confess that as a child I was not much of a crafter. My early forays into the world of crafting were largely kits that someone gave me as a gift. One of these that I remember really fondly was shrinky dinks. Now, I admit, I don't remember having this exact kit, but I loved the Smurfs too, so why not?

As a teen I got into the idea of making gifts for family and friend and that was also when I discovered the glory of the glue gun. I can remember many gifts for m y mother or grandmother that involved gluing ribbon onto little wreaths or bears or whatever.

Sometimes I cringe when I remember my early efforts in the world of crafting, but I guess every great artist needs to start somewhere.
