When  I was a child, I LOVED crafts. Everything about crafts was GREAT!! The Glue, Pencil, yarn, scissors, paper... the list is endless. You could create almost anything you wanted. It might of not looked so good but, to me it was pretty wonderful.

Now that I'm an adult, when I'm in a craft store, I want to spend HOURS there. Just thinking of all the possibilities that I could come up with.

You can research some crafts for ideas on the Internet, Books, Magazines, Shopping Centers, you can find an idea at your friends Home or their Garden. Looking on the internet, you may like to research crafts that was designed in 1950's or 1776 or 2011.

Crafts can be created by anyone: Children, Mothers, Fathers, Cousins, Aunts, Sisters, Brothers, Grandmothers, Grandfathers, Uncles or your Very Best Friend.

REMEMBER: Crafts doesn't have to be PERFECT !!!

Remembering someone SPECIAL...

If you have some items from your Grandmothers or your Aunt's, you could make windowbox. You could go to your local hobby store. EXAMPLE:       http://www.hobbylobby.com/ 

A custom window box would be perfect for your bedroom or family room.Your Aunt or  Grandmother had a favorite Poem, Receipe, School Report Card, or something you knew she cherished. Gather ONE DOZEN items, small items.

REMEMBERING SOMEONE SPECIAL:

This is ONE of my favorite crafts you can do with your family. Collect two or three dozen shirts or dresses. This would make a wonderful QUILT for you and your family members.

You would NEED: Sewing Machine, Thread, Needles, Batting, Scissors, Tape Measure, Pencil, and a Pattern for QUILT. (FOLLOW DIRECTIONS)

Depending on the size of Quilt, Twin, Double, Queen or King size, you may NEED several more SHIRTS or DRESSES.

Now that your quilt is ready, it will keep all the wonderful memories alive for you. When you see that red rose fabric or blue stripped fabric, it will remind you of that special vacation in Aspen or the Florida beaches. When you or your family member wrap up in the quilt, they to can relive the memories and have dreams of their loving FAMILY.
