  1. Oh this sounds fun. I'm not crafty but I copy.

  2. I love how your poem plays with possibilities. The last few lines give us a glimpse into what you create with all those supplies, yet there are items in the inventory that don't quite fit, expanding crafting beyond greeting cards, and -- I imagine -- including little crafters in your world. All this in a list of things. What a neat idea! How did you come up with it?

  3. Well, someone actually quizzically inquired "You're crafty?" I didn't know how to respond beyond....well name a craft item and I bet I have it! In fact, I took all the coats out of my front entry closet and installed shelves to organize all the goods. That question got me thinking about all the goodies I have in there and realizing how fulfilled I am to just have them in their "spot"....... So I have anything I might need to create something at any time.....I could have played with the words a bit more...but it turned out as a three series list followed by one word groups of items. I like your idea of starting with a list of supplies and transforming into the craft created....maybe I will re-write!

  4. What really works for me w/ this poem is the idea it can be from both the voice of an adult and from the voice of a child. Love the text coding in the title.
