Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity!, a personal crafting blog!
who: Hello, I'm Becca S, a 60+ year old artsy-craftsy left-hander who loves playing with paper, stamps, inks, paints, ephemera and mixed media. I really started building my arts and crafts skills through 4-H Club projects plus with a couple of generations of women in both branches of my family who encouraged the curiosity to try new things. Candle-making, nature crafts, liquid paint tubes embroidery and even the regular embroidery and counted cross-stitch, crocheting, flower arranging, decoupage, sewing, etc.
