1 At what age did you become a crafter? Hmmm… too young to remember! I was an only kid so I always had to amuse myself quietly and not annoy grownup types. I used to make “lighters” for people by decorating empty tic-tac boxes and filling them with wood matches. I also made some really great Barbie homes out of cardboard that I decorated with lots of miniature things I made out of play dough and construction paper and stuff.

2 What has crafting taught you that nothing else has in life? If you are having a bad day and you start working on a crafty project you will totally forget you are having a bad day. You will find yourself in a wonderful, blissed-out, oblivious state of mind where the only thing that matters is what’s in your hands right now. Time disappears. Worries disappear. And when you are done you have created something that is beautiful and has meaning.

3 what is it that you make and sell? I make rubber stamps based on my own designs and groovy DIY craft kits.

4 what is your best seller? Rubber Stamps!!

5 i sell more to ( age group)... I don’t know how well my customers fit into a single age classification. I sell stuff to cool crafty people who like makin’ crazy stuff. Some of them are teenagers, some of them have teenagers ... just creative folks of all ages
