Introduction	My name is Rachel and i have been crafting since before i can remember. I have always loved arts, pictures, handmade treasures, and anything crafty. I have never been the best at drawing or painting, but i have discovered that my passion is strong when it comes to building and creating things out of other things. I grew up watching (and trying to help) my mom preserve all kinds of foods. We made applesauce, all kinds of jams and jelly, canned peaches and pears, and dried all kinds of fruit. She did it out of necessity to feed all seven of us. I do it because it tastes better than anything bought in a store in the middle of winter when nothing is growing for miles. once you make something and are able to wear it or put it to use practically and then get compliments from other people when they see it, it starts to feed this desire inside you to continue making things that other will love and appreciate Thus my obsession with crafting began
