Hello Ruth and welcome to Krafters Korner! I am fairly new myself and really enjoy the various classes, plus the friendship!

Welcome, Ruth!
We're happy to have you.
My name's Alyssa. My favorite crafts are jewelry making (beaded jewelry), crochet, plastic canvas, and scrapbooking.
Happy crafting!

Alyssa
