How a Little Girl and a Scrapbook Changed My Life

I have always been creative. I come from a long line of Makers. Most of the creativity came from the necessity to make do with little. When you can’t afford something, you learn to make it from what you have – clothes from flour sacks, canning from the garden, making Christmas gifts. Without that ingenuity we would likely not have had new clothes when we grew out of them or food to eat. When you get used to making do you start to prefer that to what you can get in the store because there is love in that creation.
