Erika,
Thank you so much for hosting this blog... my daughter sat on my lap to go thru the hop and loved all the projects she saw.

Hi Erika, I am a follower and yes when I was younger I loved to craft, my grandmother and mother were both sewers so that was the first craft I learned to do. Thanks for inspiring.

Good morning and what a delightful idea for a blog hop! I have always loved to craft. I remember both of my grandmas teaching me how to knit and crochet. My grandma Ollie had one of those old pedel type sewing machines and she would give me bits of scrap material and I would make little dresses for my barbie and troll dolls. While I don't sew much anymore, I did make all of my family some crocheted dish cloths this lsat Christmas.
When I was younger, I was more into sports, and writing, not so much crafting. I did however love to color, and make things, I just didn't do it very often. My kids however love to craft, they love playing with my cricut, and we make little things all the time! I love that they are so into it. My oldest wants to use my cricut all the time by herself! She still needs a bit of help understanding it though. =) Thanks for the chance.
oh yea, I've been crafting since I can remember! I sort of grew up as an only child since my brother was 8 years older than me. I had to occupy my time somehow!
liz :o)
Its very sweet of you and Abby to host this blog hop for the kids! They really are talented, and its great to see them share their creations! I have loved crafting since I was younger, its a great way to relax and have fun at the same time!

What a fun idea for a blog hop! How great that you can help Ashley with this!! I loved crafting and making stuff as a child. Too bad we didn't have this kind of resources back then. Such a fun hop!!!

This was such a wonderful hop! I love seeing what these young ones created and I was not disappointed. I love seeing kids use their imaginations!
When I was younger, my favorite thing to craft was a trinket box made out of old greeting cards. I would sit there all day and make them. Well that was many years ago now, but good memories!
Thanks for this hope. It really made me smile!

Cute blog hop! I was creative as a child but did no crafting. All of my school projects were my teachers favorites.

This is such a fun hop! I think I started crafting the minute I came out of the womb! I was alwasys making things as a child. I would find what ever I could and start creating. Art was always my fav class. In elementary school I used to make bead bracelets and sell them then I decided on making t-dye shirts, cards and just about everything I could get my Lil hands on!
simplycricutting at gmail dot com
This hop is so amazing! All these kids have done a wonderful job and are so talented! Keep it up guys!! I always liked paper and glue and kept everything I made. I wasnt so much into "art" class since we had to draw a lot on our own and I felt like I couldn't. Thanks!!

I had so much fun seeing all the kids' blogs, and projects. You are awesome for helping organize this hop, and helping encourage the kids. I've loved crafting since I was little and sat at the kitchen table making things with my Gramma. I tried to pass that love of crafts on to my girls (now 19 and 20)TFS!
firelass51@aol.com
Thanks so much for this awesome blog hop. I truly love crafting with my girls. I will admit it is stressful to me to have them in my scraproom and making a mess with all my stuff! But I love seeing their faces when they take a step back to admire what they have made and the joy they have in giving a handmade card to a teacher or a friend. And now my oldest (12yrs) is participating in this hop and on a design team! Yea! THANKS

Erika thank you so much for helping to encourage these budding crafters. I was amazed by the projects from the little ones to the older ones. And I am blown away looking at all their blogs.
Yep I grew up doing ALOT of traditional crafting(knitting, sewing, quilting, needlework) shown by my Mom,grandmother and sister. As I got older I branched out...now I am way out with all my paper and cricut tools, but I still enjoy sitting down with needles and yarn/thread. Thanks for sharing your time, talents and generosity.

Hi, kErika! What a neat idea to do a blog hop just for kids! I love it, and my kids loved it, and now they want their own blog to enter challenges each week! What a fun time!

Hi Erika! I loved crafting when I was younger. I think that I got it from my mother, she was always making a floral arrangement, decorating a cake or painting something. I think it is great for kids to get crafty it helps express their imagination. I have enjoyed this wonderful blog hop!

My first memory of being drawn to crafts was st the age of three when I played with a textile sampler (telling my age) that belonged to my great aunt. I instantly connected to colors and textures. This was an awesome hop because of these talented young people.One day they will draw on all these experiences and the incredible generosity of crafters. Nancy at nana5604@gmail.com
THis was an awesome blog hop. All the kids did great projects.I have only been crafting for about two years and i am loving it.

I have totally enjoyed this hop. My daughter (almost 4) enjoyed going through it with me. She loves crafting with me and would do it every day if we had time. I have always loved crafting and have done some form of it since I was a lot younger. I have only had my cricut for a year now, but I totally love it. I am so glad that my daughter is already loving crafting with me at such a young age. I hope we continue to do together as time goes on. :) Thanks so much for helping host this hop! My daughter and I really enjoyed it!

How awesome are these kids!!?? You know I may let my daughter use some of my things to craft!! It would be great to be crafty mama with a crafty girl. I've always been crafty but my mom hates crafts so I wish I could share that with my girl.
TFS!! Take Care!!

It is nice to see the young people doing such great stuff. You have inspired so many. I have always loved to make things and I also taught my kids all that I knew and some like to scrap and some have other talents but they all tried.
regina95370@sbcglobal.net
This has been a really fun hop. I have truly enjoyed seeing all of the creations that the kids came up with and shared with us today. I was not much a crafter when I was younger but it has been something that I began to hone in on more once I got into high school and it really started to show while I was in college.
Thanks again for having such a wonderful hop to showcase such wonderful talents!

Hello Erika. I just finished this hop and all I can say is wow. I was blown away with all the talent these kids have. I think it is great that you and Abby organized this hop. It totally encourages these kids to keep doing what they love. I became a follower of each of them and will visit often and support their creativity. Fantastic job Erika.
Hugs,
Stephanie
This was so much fun Erika - thanks to you and Abby for hosting it! The kids are so talented! I have always been a crafter I think. I can remember cutting and pasting, making collages, etc. when I was young. I learned to crochet at the age of 12 and to knit about the same time. My mother taught me to sew when I was a teenager. I am also an oil painter/artist, or at least I am trying to be. I did not start scrapbooking until my kids were born but it feels like something I was always waiting to do ;) I have been crafting with my kids since they were little - I think it is important to teach kids to craft - they learn something that gives them joy that will last them their whole lives :)
Erika,
Thanks so much for co-hosting this blog hop!
I really enjoyed it as I have just recently begun doing crafts with my 3 year old Granddaughter and I received lots of great inspiration on this hop!
When I was younger I was totally into anything crafty! I liked to make scrapbooks way before they were popular! I used to cut stuff out of magazines and make collages also!
Thanks again for the great hop!

I always enjoyed crafting but didn't really get into it until I was in my early 20s. I met my now best friend who introduced me to cross stitching. From that I went into sewing and from that into papercrafting. I think this one is here to stay. Thanks for the chance to win! deegeescraps at gmail dot com
