Keep Calm-Craft On

Hands busy ,mind focused,I like it.I'm a person who can  think too much on personal relationships until I get tense, very tense. Arts and Crafts are one activity out of very few that can take My mind off of My personal relationships.

These are a few of My lastest.... An old miniature box I fixed up for My own pleasure. It started with Me learning about Frozen Charlotte Dolls  and the story of Fair Charlotte that goes along with them. In one of the tiny cubbies I wanted to find a sleigh for dear sorry Charlotte.Goggle Her if You don't know about Her. I was thinking about  doing a post on the legend,so many others have done so.

This paper wall hanging is My submission for the Spring blog hop  with Coffee Loving Paper Crafters.

 It was perfect for Me since I do lots of paper crafting and I love coffee  :  )

 The above plaque is for My youngest Granddaughter when She gets Her own room.

 A jar full of cinnamon popperie with color combo of red and purple (My fave combo of colors).

 An old Calif. dried fruit box I just fixed up for one of My daughters.  A Bible verse box,with many of My fave verses in it

 There are more, but enough for one post. The other activities that help Me relax and not obsess about relationships are swimming and vacationing, both with Paul My husband,as a couple of You may already know because I post on those activities too. What activity helps You mentally relax ? Tell Tell Tell. A kiss a peck and a hug around the neck to all My followers-sweet kindred spirits You are.Keep Calm-Craft On. Denise
