Let's Chat.


When I started this blog I wanted to keep it light and fun. 
Every now and again I will share a few anecdotes, riddles and stories.
Let the fun begin!

Anecdote:

The Envelope Episode Yesterday, I set out to make a dozen handmade envelopes. I cut and folded two, then got inspired to create a pop-up card. By the end of the day, I had a fabulous card, three bookmarks, and, well, two envelopes. My crafting sessions seem to open up just like my paper creations – full of surprises!

Riddle:

"I'm flat and thin, but not to be ignored, Crafters love me, and I'm never bored. With colors and patterns, I come alive, Fold, cut, or glue, creativity thrives.

In books or cards, I may reside, Sometimes in rolls, by your side. What am I, in the crafter's delight? A canvas for art, a blank sheet so white.

Now, my friend, take a guess and see, What's the name of this crafty key? 

What am I? (answer is at the end of the blog)

Story:

Journey Through the Paper Forest In a cozy corner of Chloe's craft room stood a shelf she called the "Paper Forest." It was filled with papers of every color and texture, each awaiting transformation.

One sunny afternoon, Chloe started crafting a paper village for her niece. She cut out houses, trees, and even a tiny paper post office. But as she was folding a miniature mailbox, an idea for a beautiful paper wreath bloomed in her mind.

The village paused, and the wreath began. Chloe snipped and curled, her fingers dancing with the paper. The wreath grew, becoming a circle of vibrant flowers and intricate leaves.

Days passed, and the paper village quietly waited. Chloe would add a tree here, a rooftop there, in between her other paper escapades. The village became a tapestry of moments, each piece a snapshot of inspiration.

When her niece finally saw the village, her eyes sparkled with wonder. Chloe realized then that her craft was more than the sum of its parts. It was a journey through a paper forest, where every path led to something beautiful and unexpected.

These anecdotes, riddles, and stories capture the essence of being a paper crafter with ADD – a world where each sheet of paper holds endless possibilities and each crafting session is an adventure of its own. Enjoy the creativity and embrace the unexpected turns! 

Happy Crafting!


Oh and the answer to the Riddle is....Paper!
