Hello Crafters,

I have my mother Aleene to thank for giving me the creative gene. The industry has her to thank for introducing crafts to the masses. 

As a pioneer of the craft industry, Momma Aleene was always thinking “outside the box” because she had to be resourceful. Whether it was burning her glue to create the look of metal with burnt brown bag, mixing bread and glue to create flowers or gluing eggshells to create the look of mosaic, she was always thinking outside the box and she spent over 60 years actively sharing her passion for crafting. 

I hope that you too will join us in spreading the joy of crafting – whether it’s inside or outside the box!
