Crafts a Waste of Time

So, whenever I write about crafting I think it's a big fat waste of time. But what I neglect to remember is that even when times are tough a person can pump out a craft or a piece of creative something they can make from their own hands and imagination. Even if it ends up at the good will it becomes something to that person who made it, such as a self esteem boost, because before it was done you didn't know you could do anything. But, well if it turns out like crap then you just confirm that you can't do anything. Give me a break, sometimes finding a niche is half the battle, how much time does anyone spend finding things they are good at? 'American Idol' is a testimony to a whole bunch of people following the wrong path. Can you believe how many people think they can sing, only to find out by Simon , that they can't carry a tune in a bucket. People wasting time, huh!

I don't even wonder if I'm good at painting anymore, I've made a few bucks at it enough to dispel 'the curse of the wicked servant' and I have gifts and great comfort of knowing I can take a rock and get five bucks for it just for painting it. But it's not about me, crafting that is, it's about you. Did I say that you could go rock hunting and get some 50 cent craft paint and evenhandedly bring back the pet rock. Those were the days my friend. Well even the little purse up there was only 79 cents at my local craft store, I'm going to put a bracelet or a necklace in it and give it to my thirteen year old friend at Christmastime.
Let me know what you think,
