She wanted to make more but was bummed to be told, "One per person!" She took matters into my own hands and ordered materials to make them herself. The more she made, the more she wanted to make! There's nothing she loves more than crafting and kibbitzing, so she hosted charm-making parties at home. Everyone had such a good time she started to think bigger! Now she leads workshops at co-working spaces, community centers, community college extensions, galleries, bookstores, and private parties. She’s especially gratified to help the crafters who arrive believing they are "not creative" go from cautious to confident. Within a short time, they are beaming with pride at what they've made, and brimming with more ideas!
