I think I finally found something that is truly good for my soul. I have always been a creative and crafty girl. I drew a lot when I was younger, I made jewelry out of beads and string, I did needle point work and pretty much loved all things crafty. A month ago today, a close friend had a crafting party at her house where she taught me, and 5 other girls how to make 2 cards and a "pillow box"...a small box in the shape of a pillow in which you can put candy or something small to give to someone else as a gift. I had so much fun. It brought me back in touch with my crafty side. I have been hooked ever since! I've made multiple cards and gift boxes and, when I am done with each project, I have such a sense of pride and accomplishment. Since I have been unemployed, I have been pretty miserable as far as my confidence and self-worth is concerned. Those two things took a serious blow and my ego has been very low. But, with each card or gift box that I create with my own two hands, my self-confidence builds. One of my neighbors has told me that she will pay me for my work. I even impressed my hubby the other day, which is no small feat.
So, I have included some of my creations for you all to see. If you have something to say about them, feel free. And, be honest. If you think they suck, tell me. I can take it. I probably won't agree but, I can take it! ;)
P.S.
Yes...each one of those cake slices is a separate box. You would use it for a Birthday Party or Bridal Shower and you could fill each Box Slice with candy or party favors and give them to your guests. It took a while to make but, for my first time having made that cake, I am pretty proud of it!
