Talking About Crafts and Hobbies

Hello, my name is Linda. Welcome to my site about crafts and hobbies. Each holiday season, I have the family come together to create arts and crafts projects to display as decorations. The kids help out with the projects to add an extra touch of personalization to each piece. Everyone puts their names and date on the back of the items before they are displayed.
