    You are so much more than just another crafter who’s passionately curious about her work. You are an amazing artist. Every project is over the top and unbelievable. I would like to attempt to copy your work, but I’m afraid you are too good for me. I’ve been crafting of one sort or another most of my life, but I can’t begin to reach your level. Keep up the great work. I love seeing your projects. You are really a wonder with paper.
