About

Hi, I’m Janice and I encourage you to take creative risks. I’ve been a crafter since I was a child, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned is it doesn’t have to be perfect. IT JUST HAS TO BE FUN!!! I’m here to encourage you, spread joy and happiness…Come create and play with me!!!  On my blog we’ll have a little bit of everything, from book reviews to recipes, and crochet patterns, scrapbook ideas, easy to make jewelry, kids crafts and more!  So please feel free to check out my site and tell all your friends too!!!
