I will not tell my boys "just 2 more minutes" 12.I will not make promises I cannot keep...see you at a craft show			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!!!!!! Written by Joanie If you have found a poem you would like to share please send me an email and I will pop it on for you.
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 Written by Karla			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!! by Jane
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
