Welcome!
Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Karen Snyder and I've been a crafter for about as long as I can remember. I am a stay-at-home-Mama of two beautiful children with a husband who makes my dreams possible.
This blog is about all sorts of crafting. I am a paper-crafter from early days, a jewelry-maker with an unending obsession for chain maille. I make chain maille purses, many of which will be chronicled in this blog as their future owners await their completion. I love metalsmithing. I am an indifferent beader and don't get me anywhere near seed beads... they scatter, screaming to get away from me. I love to try new things, have a short attention span so if its a long-term project... I'm probably not doing it LOL.
If you have questions, ask. If you have tips, share. Same with suggestions - share! I want this to be a great forum for people to brainstorm and problem-solve with a good attitude. Crabby Apples need not respond, this is a feel-good kind of blog :)
I enjoy sitting on patio listening to it and watching movies with all the lights off.
ReplyDeleteI like reading a book and playing with the kids.
ReplyDeletei like having a shower in the rain but sometimes just feels good to sit and quietly lost in my thoughts while watching it rain :)
ReplyDeleteWith 3 four-legged boys afraid of thunder (or they play it great) I sit in my recliner with them and try to nap.
ReplyDeleteKinda difficult with one on my lap, one beside me, and one on teh back (though he does make a good head rest) :)
I like to read when it's really rainy - or sit in my work room in front of the window and pretend to be thinking about what I'm going to do next! x
ReplyDeletethe smell and sound of it just sit and relax
ReplyDeleteI really like to swim in the rain...as long as there's no thunder or lightning about! I don't get to do it that often though :(
ReplyDeleteread a really good book
ReplyDeleteElainea, Anne, Mia, Bette, Faye, Regina, Maria and Dee Ann, you are all entered. I do also enjoy reading on a rainy day, though I don't often get to do that these days.
ReplyDeleteI like going for a walk with my husband :)
ReplyDeleteWalks with the hubby are pretty high on my list too -- he's not a big fan of walking in the rain, but he will do it every now and again. You are entered!!
ReplyDeleteI love to sit on my back porch and listen and see the rain falling...And I love rain at night too. I sleep sooooo good !
ReplyDeleteDora I completely agree -- I never sleep so well as I do when its raining. Even a good thunderstorm, thunder and lightning and all, will still help me sleep soundly. You are entered :)
ReplyDeleteI love snuggling up on the couch with my dogs and watching a good movie....if there is lightning in the evening, off go the lights and the lightning becomes the show!
ReplyDeleteLisa White said....well since it's winter here, we have had an overload of rain lately, I have piles of washing piling up! Anyway, what do I like to do? Basically just stay inside and think how nice it is to be warm and dry - hail is pretty exciting, and electric storms too, even heavy rain is entertaining, watching the mini lake form in the back yard!! lol
ReplyDeleteElaine I love to watch a good lightning show too -- even my kids like to snuggle up on either side of me and exclaim over it. You are entered :)
ReplyDeleteLOL Lisa -- well rain can get a bit old when its been going on for days. It is a great show to watch what Mother Nature can do :) You are entered!
