6. The craft bug starts somewhere. What is your earliest memory of making something crafty? Cutting up paper bags on my patchwork carpet tiles in my bed room. I was 15 or 16 and I badly wanted to dress like Madonna. SSSSSOOOO, I made some patterns and made my first garments. Oh, in retrospect they were really bad but I thought I was hot stuff!

7. What is your favorite craft tool to work with? I just bought a ton of handles that suction cup to our clear rulers. I have been passing them out to my team of Junies. The handles are great, they make rotary cutting so much cleaner and easier!
