Feeling uptight? Pull out the beads,clay,tile, glue..

Crafting is a fun and exciting stress buster. Take your pick of a multitude of projects! Release tensions as you weave blankets, make earrings, paint, sew, mix perfume concoctions...the list is endless. Use the internet to find your pleasure. Pick an old-time favorite from your childhood or try something new!

Just the other day I was in a well-known craft store, picking up some beads, and just being surrounded by all the glitter, colored paper,dyes and buttons was lifting. Using your hands to create, connects you to spirit.

The act of creating/crafting interrupts a humdrum day, brightens your mind from dark thoughts and renews your soul. How good it feels to show off that handmade masterpiece and say,"I made it MYSELF!
