Self Identified Competition
There are many competitors in my field. I will say that within the crafting community there is an understanding between us. We will help each other and provide tips and tricks to everyone we can. In crafting there is no two pieces made the exact same. I am different in the craft community because I have grown up in a house that has taught the importance of using your imagination and freedom to create in a different way. I have fun doing what I love. I love interacting with people and seeing the faces of those who find enjoyment in buying my products.
