I started crafting when I was very young. Making pop bottle butterflies, designing my school shoes with fabric paint, braided hangers, knitting, wood products, painting, I did everything and anything to keep busy and crafts was one of my favorite things. My whole life I\'ve been using my creativity to keep me entertained, and since I became more aware of consumerism and the effects on the environment it\'s inspired me to recycle more, and has become part of my every day life. I\'ve realized how important it is to love what you do, and thankfully for me I do. I love learning new things, meeting new people and taking every opportunity with open arms. I see RAW as a challenge and an opportunity to showcase some of my favorite things.
