Martha Ellis replied to RiRiSynCyr's discussion holiday crafts & projects in the group Craftacular AlbuquerqueMartha Ellis replied to RiRiSynCyr's discussion holiday crafts & projects in the group Craftacular Albuquerque"Why do you have to stick to holiday themed gifts. If you are making things for holiday decor around the home, that's one thing, but gifts can also be for "year round" use--jewelry, paintings, pillows, even clothing which you…"
Martha Ellis replied to Jesse Lu Bain's discussion Help a new girl out w/ Craft Resources in ABQ in the group Craftacular Albuquerque"Hi.
