Crafts are here, crafts
are there.
My craft supplies are everywhere.
I really should clean this mess,
But I like it, I must confess.
Floor is littered, chairs are piled,
Kitchen’s looking pretty wild.
On the table counter too,
Seems that any place will do.
Hall is stacked with cartons high,
Filled with things folks like to buy.
Garage is full, but so far …
There’s still room to park the car.
I never have an idle day,
New ideas come my way.
Don’t know yet what I’ll create,
But at least my imagenation’s great.
My family smiles, they don’t complain,
Although at times I am a pain.
But when all is said and done,
I really am a crafty one !!

Crafters are a funny bunch,
We'd rather craft than eat our lunch.
The housework, it can always wait.
It will be there on some other date.
No craft is left to be untried,
No creative thought to be denied.
Craft supplies - they're everywhere
,
We're never caught without a spare.
Can our time be better spent
.
Than practicing our creative bent?
Let it be said when we are done,
We worked,
We laughed,
and had lots of fun.

I got up this morning, but haven't yet
dressed
My dishes aren't done, and the house is in a mess
Have not done my work, or fed the cat
Just on line for a second, and popped into chat!
Theres so much to say, so much crafting to do
I'm sitting here now with glitter, scissors and glue
But O'dear me, i'm finding it hard
When all I need is to make my next card.....
I know tomorrow, I'll make a fresh start...........
Just You wait till you see My New Work of Art!!!!!!

If crafting is a petty crime
I will soon be doing time
If crafting is against the law
I'll do time forever more
I sit and craft from morn 'til night,
my family do despair,
but armed with heat gun, ink pads too,
I really just don't care
The more I see, the more I want,
I cannot see an end,
to sticky pads and funky foam,
I have to spend, spend, spend
I made a candle, just last week,
it turned out quite a mess,
I think I'll stick to making cards,
coz that's what I do best

If people say you’re stuck up
They mean you've spilt the glue
If they remark on your sparkling personality
You've spilt the glitter too
You would go and make a cuppa
If you could only see the floor
Trying manoevre round the obstacle course
You think what is it for
Well, it’s for the joy of others
When your card comes in the post
And it never seems like hard work
For you enjoy it the most

Reasons for being a card maker
1) It helps keep the economy going. It is one's duty to support cardcraft
manufacturers, timber/paper mills, craft shops and internet sites.
2) It is less expensive and more fun that psychiatric care.
3) It's participation in a contest- The one who dies with the most unused
peel offs, toppers etc, wins.
4) Craft bits keep without refrigeration, you don't have to cook them to
enjoy them, you never have to feed them, change them, wipe their noses or
walk them.
5) It's not immoral, illegal, or fattening. It calms the nerves, gratifies
the soul, and makes one feel good.
6) It makes good use of your imag-e-nation

She learned to stamp on Monday
her embossing was quite fine.
She forgot to set out dinner....
so away out we went to dine.
She brayered backgrounds Tuesday
she says they are a must....
they really are quite lovely
but there was no time to dust.
On Wednesday it was birthday cards
she claims that chalking's fun
shading, blending and water-colouring
but the laundry wasn't done.
Her card swap was on Thursday
she had to use green, blue and red,
it was obvious she was really engrossed
when she failed to make the bed.
It was Shaker cards on Friday
using techniques that she just adores,
what a pity she then failed to notice
the crumbs dropped all over the floors.
I found a maid on Saturday!
My week is now complete
my wife can stamp her hours away
and the house will still be neat.
Well, already it is Sunday
and my forehead's feeling damp
cos I've cursed, and raved and ranted
for the Maid has learned to stamp!!

My arms reach out
through time and space
And hold each memory in place:
A creaking swing, a whispered word,
A promise only night winds heard...
A little footstep on the stair,
A small fragmented baby prayer.
My arms reach out through time and space
And do not find an empty place.

Life is a scrapbook,
torn and old
In which our little lives are told,
And when the twilight shadows fall
This is the sweetest thing of all;
To turn the pages of the years,
Remembering with happy tears
The faithful love, the perfect friend...
These things are treasured to the end.

The special book upon the shelf
was made with many hands.
Our ancestors who posed back then
all came from different lands.
Their pictures were all tucked away
and rarely did we see,
The importance of these treasures is
The start of you and me.
The history of our families
now here in black and white
Preserved with special care and time
Each page is done just right.
When time permits, we take it down
and think of days long past.
Our hopes, our dreams, our heritage
All safe and made to last.

We're
not really sisters
But we’re sisters of the heart
for
we share a special passion
That’s
called Paper craft
They
say that gems are priceless
but not when on a card
Cos
we bought them in the euro shop
for our special works of art.
And
every time we make one
We
just can’t wait to share
The
very special creation
That
we made with love and care.

The Obsessed Crafter
I started out with just one topper,
and then I bought some more.
I decided that a shoebox would make an ideal store.
Then as I added inks & pens, my craft collection grew.
So I bought a roomy plastic crate, it would last for years, I knew.
Embossing then became my thing, with powder and a heat gun. Metallics,
tinsels, pearls and clear, I soon had everyone.
By now my lovely plastic crate was spilling everywhere. And my glitter glue
collection lay scattered on a chair.
My husband started muttering and said things had to stop.
So I bought a huge old wardrobe at the local charity shop.
But after a while, I couldn't shut the door.
So I put shelves up in the spare room to accomodate yet more.
Our house is now for sale, something larger being sought.
By the way, did I show you, The latest stamp I bought!

Dear Lord
I’m going to need some notice
Before my days are done.
You see, I’m a craftaholic.
A fact not known to some.
My craft room, it is bulging
All corners, crannies and nooks
There's loads of boxes under the bed,
I hope no one ever looks
I tell myself when shopping,
“No more craft bits today,”
But the craft shops are like magnets
Drawing me their way.
I’m totally at their mercy
Just "need" a dozen of each.
Then I hurry home to hide them
Before the family starts to preach.
So Lord, I’ll need a little time
To dispose of all this stuff.
And Lord, can we just keep all of this,
Between the two of us
