Site Dedication: "I would like to dedicate this site to my mother. I remember watching her as a child in amazement at the creative things she would make. I Always hoped that I would be as talented as she. If it were not for her, I would have not had the interest in becoming involved in crafts or the drive to involve myself in things that allowed me a sense of pride and accomplishment. Crafting has taught me patience and peace within myself. What a wonderful feeling to create something with your own hands." Love you mom -- V.
