 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity, a personal blog. 

who: Hi! I'm Becca S, 60+ yrs old artsy-crafter who started learning fine arts like piano at age 6 and clarinet later at 10 plus practical arts like cooking, baking and sewing began at age 9. Both have continued through the years. In 2009, I started participating in a message board communication for "Paper Wishes" company. Challenges would be given and requirements were to include at least 1 PW product in what you were creating. Then sometime in 2010-2011 "Blogger" was mentioned and things have just snowballed from there!!!
