Our winter weather here in north east Ohio, has me longing for warmer weather! I may not find warmer weather outside my front door, I did however create some warm memories of a time gone by for myself.
My vintage circus cigar box, brought a lot of warm fuzzy feelings for me, as I worked in my craft room one very cold, snowy day. As you may know, I am new to the design team world, in my crafting career. I have applied and made two design teams and happen to hear about Jo's Scrap Shack, hunt for design team members. I got busy and filled in the requirements for my resume, with one being, to design a new project, just for Jo's Scrap Shack, which showed off my favorite style, a project that made my heart sing, and create I did!
My love for crafting was fostered by and tended to by my maternal grandmothers, both, great and grandma and of course, my mother. I have very fond and warm memories crafting with three of the strongest women, who shaped me into the woman I am today.
Our crafts were a little bit of everything, felt stockings, with a white wash cloth used as the white fuzzy top, small boxes recycled into beautiful, shiny gold boxes complete with macaroni embellishments and tiny alphabet noodles spelling out our sentiments. I still have a few of creations, that have survived
With ideas whirling around in my mind about what I wanted to create for the interview process, I decided on a vintage circus theme. Not only do I love everything vintage, and the circus, I created it with my fond memories of craft days gone by, sitting and listening to my great grandmothers adventures with the circus, as we crafted away many hours. She ran away at age 15, and joined the circus! It was there she found what made her heart sing, as she a costume designer for years.
I hope you enjoy my project for Jo's Scrap Shack,
