Why you should have a sketch book!

Sketchbook!

I never used to be sketchy. I used to pride my freestylin’ ways of crafting wherever my thread or glue would take me. Even when I began writing my newspaper craft column eight years ago, I preferred to make things up as I went along.
That changed last year when I

Thank you for your comment on my Poppies one two three. That would be great if I could have it printed on fabric! I think it would make a great skirt for those that wear them!

Hola Kathy,
Thank you for the recent response on the book discussion. I look forward to reading your book suggestions.

I would imagine you hear this all the time... but I just wanted to mention how much I appreciate your work! I travel back to the southwest every chance I get and always enjoy seeing your books and creations in gifts shops, book stores (and museums... this past April, I visited the Phoenix Heard Museum and saw a beautiful display of your books in their gift shop). Your work is always inspiring to me. I am glad to know you are here in this network and look forward to reading more of your ideas and suggestions. :)

Hey there. I've been a fan from way back! Your work is GREAT...so fresh and fun. Honey...its like a breath of fresh air. What a great role model to have a Crafty Chica Chicana out there in this world.

I'm still spreading my wings but so happy to be creating. Some people actually "GET" my stuff, too! I'm taking baby steps but happy to do so.

Would love to keep in touch. We "craftistas" need to stick together!
