A Little Introduction

Welcome to my blog, Creations And Crafts, which will be all about, yep- you guessed it, things involving creations and crafts. From small decorative projects to refinishing furniture, I'd like to give you a glimpse into my passion of using imagination to CREATE!

I have always had an extremely creative mind, and as much as I wished I could pursue art, I was just never that good at it. BUT several years ago, after compiling years of memories into a hefty scrapbook, I realized that while I don't necessarily have a gift for drawing bowls of fruit or sculpting masterpieces from lumps of clay, I can still CRAFT like nobody's business!

By definition, a creation (cre·a·tion, noun) is, "the action or process of bringing something into existence." In my opinion, I believe that that 'something' can be anything. Because of this, I also hope to share with you some other companies and blogs of friends and colleagues that share my same passion of creation.

Over the years, I have created some fun things, but never took the time to document them and share. My method in using this blog, aside from sharing others' creative works, will be to share a step-by-step, picture guided tour of the process I endured in creating a specific thing. I have several projects lined up on a to-do list, so I hope to work through that list quickly. This blog should give me the motivation I need to do just that!

I truly enjoy the idea of "turning trash into treasure" and whether it's scrap materials around the house turned into a fun, new decorative piece, or even a crappy old table from a garage sale being transformed into a new living room centerpiece, there is always something new to be created and that is something I never want to lose sight of!

Thanks for stopping by my blog and I hope you enjoyed it. I look forward to sharing more in the future and hopefully, you too, will be inspired to find your knack for creation!
