Learn more about Janet:

I love to do craft projects, especially making holiday decorations (and then decorating) and making gifts for my family and friends.

I have done embroidery and pottery projects that were sold to benefit The Center in Houston when I lived at Willow River Farms

Recently, I learned how to use a sewing machine to make the little bags for my sisters for their birthday gifts and had so much fun.
