More Than Just a Planner
Since I was a toddler wearing overalls and pigtails, I was constantly exploring and reaching for my mother’s orange handled crafting scissors, wanting to create a new craft or learn something new. From different genres of books to the types of trees, species of birds, learning crafts, and finding rocks in my backyard to paint, my imagination was vivid and tactile. I craved learning and creating from the days of finger painting on construction paper onward. This turned into my exploration of different arts and crafts. I bounced from activity to activity – calligraphy, making tiny houses from kits, writing, crochet, designing my own greeting cards for family members, diamond paintings, paper dolls – you name it, I’ve probably explored it. What I haven’t explored, is on my to-do list.
