| Introduction | Hello, my name is Ranae of Leaping Frog Crafts which is about making cloth animal dolls. Art has been a long-standing tradition in my family. My mother was a great inspiration to me as she was the most wonderful artist that I have ever known. I have always loved to draw and paint and create. I love pretty things and truly enjoy creating from my heart. I started seriously making dolls in the early 2000’s longing for a new hobby.. Then shortly after that I moved on to art dolls. Now as I am older my hands don’t work as well as they did for the more detailed art dolls and it seems the primitive folk art style really got me hooked. There is something so comforting about bringing those characters to life. Each one takes on a very unique personality. I have met so many wonderful and kind people through my art. I am so thankful to all of my wonderful customers for encouraging me with their appreciation of my creations. I feel truly blessed. |

What's the earliest you've gotten up to watch cartoons and what did you see?
I think it would have been 7am and would see woody wood pecker, or what ever was on at that time.
