"Letting Go"

When I say "Letting Go", I mean allowing myself to put all of my passion, love, and creativity into each craft project and then pass it on to another person that would care enough to receive the gift.  Each gift is personal.

Through my journal, photography and video recordings, I can visually "keep" a little bit of each project, mostly to reminisce about the person and what I did to create that piece.  This has also been helpful in watching how my techniques and skills have evolved. 

I've taken up making how-to videos and tutorials on some of my projects at the requests of a few friends.  This provides a deeper look into the products I've selected, the creative process I go through, and demonstrates the techniques I use.  So far, good reviews by those that have watched them.
