Re: Easy Crafts/ New to group

[Guest guest]

Hello, I am new and it is time to jump in here.

For doing decopodge, you do not have to use scissors, you can tear

it. That gives it a unique look.

Doing beading, is really easy if you use larger beads.

I have been selling stone and glass beads for a few years and I use

them to make some jewelry. You would be surprised at how satisfying

it is and you have great gifts for people too.

My hands are not really affecte as of yet, but my hips up my back and

my knees have it the most.

Makes it tough to sit since I have neuropoth of the feet and legs,

but I love what I do and so far, everyone likes what I make.

I will drop in here onece in awhile.

All take care.
