She's Crafty!

It's taken me a while to understand my true feelings about making crafts. For a long time I just took the attitude that I hated doing them.  I figured since it didn't come naturally and since I hardly ever bothered doing them, I must not like it, right?  But then I noticed that I had a really fun time at Super Saturdays.  In fact, I even began looking forward to them.  So that didn't make much sense.  It finally dawned on me that I don't hate crafts at all.  In fact, if I've got a friend to chat with while I do them, I actually enjoy crafts a lot!  The problem is that if I don't have a friend to craft with, I will always choose to read a book instead.  (I know a few people who are both readers AND crafty.  I wonder how they have time for both.)

So anyway.  It's been fun to accept my "crafty" side, even if it's a very small side of me.  The funny thing, though, is that I've already convinced everyone that I can't do crafts, so now when I do try to do them with my friends, they usually step in and do most of the work for me.  This doesn't actually bother me at all-- I still end up with cute stuff and hang-out time!  And this is exactly what happened with my Father's Day project: I recruited a couple friends to help me make this for Craig, and they pretty much did all of the work for me.  But didn't they do a great job???  I love it!  And more important, Craig loved it, too.

Everyone wins!

Thanks to my awesome (and super-crafty) friends!
