Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself

[Maddie Haunches]

Hello!

My name is Kristi and this is my first official post in the forums! I learned about get crafty through my sister, the AMAZING Jennifer of Textile Fetish.

I am married with 4 cats. I perform with a couple of local theatre companies, enjoy papercrafts like making cards, collages, and origami, love reading, and adore food and drink of all sorts!

I have slowly come to realize the fact that I am not truly happy and truly MYSELF unless I'm involved in some kind of creative pursuit, whether it be acting in a play, making a birthday card out of an old grocery bag and rubber cement, or cooking Thai curry. I am not living an honest life if I don't expend the effort to live creatively, which I admit I have not always done.

So . . . I have made a commitment this year to be unafraid to live life to the maximum, to create joy and art out of the everyday. I want to say THANK YOU to the folks who post to this board, to Jean (your Editor's Letter is what really got me moving), and to my fabulous sister, all of whom have inspired me to get off my ass and . . . get crafty!
