I loved the craft industry. That is where my true calling was. I was lucky that I could pick and choose and try other things and found that I always returned to the crafty stuff.

I am happily retired now and guess what? I am still crafting...so that tells you that I have played all my life and earned a good living at it. lol.

When I was in my painting career, the enjoyable times were, when I had my shows and people would buy all my painted things and has such nice things to say. I did craft shows for 5 year and I did enjoy them so much. I loved meeting the people and talking to them.
