One Proud Mama

Isn't it every parents dream for their child to follow in their footsteps? And she did it without coersion, I swear! Lexi has been curious for some time about what I do in my craft room, and has watched over my should while I put together my masterpieces. So when she said, "Can I try?" I almost wiped away a tear.

To simplify the process, I put coordinating supplies in front of her and let her have at it. She asked questions about matting photos, and how to place them. We even used the Cricut... It was hard to let her do everything on her own, especially with the title "Ireland dance." I asked (a couple times) if she meant "Irish dance," and she was adamant. (Just let it go, Cori, she's six and already doing better work than when I started.)

Hopefully, it will blossom into a mother-daughter activity both of us enjoy, which means I need to get a job. Funding my own habit is tough enough.
