Dream project
“I want to use my children’s artwork —scan them into my all-in-one printer and then print them out on fabric to make a quilt. That’s a big exciting idea for me right now.”

 Meet Crafty Mom: Marcy


With 5-year-old and 2-year-old daughters, Marcy is plenty busy. Add in bookkeeping for the family business or volunteering in her daughters’ schools, it’s no wonder that this 36-year-old Southern Californian has precious little time for crafts and family projects.
Everyday Achievers - Expression CenterBut Marcy has become a whiz at finding small ways to build chunks of craft time into her life. Her secret? Get the girls involved.

“These days, it’s more about what the kids can join in on,” she says. “For instance, when my little one goes down for a nap, I pull out the craft supplies and my older girl and I will make things together. There are plenty of simple crafts you can do in a small chunk of time.”

"I Love the Grand Canyon" photo into a 30' by 36" frame and hang it over the fireplace in the living room, it would be too large for the den.. but even if it clashes with the decor in there, I still want to see it framed and hung, for a season!
