I have always been interested in arts and craft. However, I thought that I had limitations and that I could not do pretty much anything because I cannot see to do it. But this group has taught me different. And I am excited. I can learn and share so many new ways to create art on my own.

We had more counter space, in the old building.  Here it is all walls, almost!  I have some mini characters, on my wall.  A 4th of July bear, a heart, a horse, a crab and an NIH bear, I think.
