Craft With Mrs Anna Light

We Are All Stuck At Home and National Scrapbooking Day is May 2 As I'm sitting here listening to Harry Styles sing, I think about what life was like before COVID-19.  Kids were in school, folks were at their jobs, sometimes I thought staying home all day was fun.  Perspectives change.   I miss traveling, I miss going to live music concerts, I miss eating in a restaurant (since we rarely went out to eat it was special when we did), I miss taking my grand kids to the playground, I miss the solitude of drinking a hot cup of coffee all alone in my house, I miss the beach and I miss living a normal life.  I have done more creating in the last few months than I have in a very, very long time.  I used to put it off until the last minute or try and squeeze it in all in one day.  I have come to realize that I put things in my way, impeding my creativity as well as my ability to grow, both financially and as a person.  What have you found out about yourself during th

Getting Crafty During The Virus It has been hard for me and my family during the Stay At Home orders for Colorado.  The COVID-19 virus has made life different for everyone.  My husband and my 16 year old daughter are both considered essential employees.  I never thought I would see the day when my teenager was needed at work more than those her senior.  She works as a bagger in the military commissary (grocery store) and many of those who work with her are retired military guys, all over 60 years old.  They have been staying home and staying safe instead of going into work.  The younger folks, high school and college age kids, are working extra days to fill in the gaps.  Sadly, my daughter and my husband have both fallen ill this week.  We are waiting to hear the results for the virus tests.  In the meantime, I am trying to keep my mind elsewhere instead of dwelling on the what ifs.  I have been working on a bunch of cards since the Stay At Home orders were given by our Gov
