I’ve been a crafter all my life! For most of their lives, I’ve been a single mom to two boys. To their credit, they have humored me in their judgment of my crafting – good job mom – yep its ”cute” mom, etc. Every now & then i would get a sincere “YOU made that?” Brats! lol
I like to repurpose a lot of stuff into different things & Tyler has heard me say many times “trust me – i see a snowman!” He just rolls his eyes & moves on – pacifying me as he carries pieces of wood thru Lowes or Home Depot or as he drags something out of the trunk i picked up at a garage sale!
Well, guess what??? A couple of weeks ago, Tyler brought home 12 bright, shiny, tin jar lids they were going to throw away at his work. He thought I could use them for something. How about that?!?!?!?! Of course, my brain immediately went into creative mode / I’m sure i could use these!!!! 6 snowmen & 6 gingers were born this weekend! (see pic below)
Score one for mom! While I may not impress them with my “talents,” at least i made an impression…..of sorts!! I love that they think of me in collecting other people’s junk! lol
I also love that they are enabling me in leading my best scrap happy life!
