National Craft Month

Did you know March is National Craft Month?  It's very exciting that there is a whole month dedicated to crafts! Creating things is something I've always loved to do and I love that my oldest son (and hopefully youngest when he's older) will enjoy it as much as I do! It's something we can all do as a family together. One of the favorite things my son likes to do is make masks! He's very creative and it always thinking of new things to make!

Crafting has more benefits than you may realize. It's not only fun to create things, but it also has some health benefits as well. Studies from NYU and Harvard University have shown that crafting can reduce stress, build self-esteem and improve concentration! I don't know about you, but I think that's pretty fantastic! Especially when it comes to children, it seems crafting can really help them.

There are thousands of things you can do, you just need to find something you like and stick with it! Use your imagination and see where it takes you. Some of my favorite things are making jewelry, scrapbooking and painting. When I'm involved in a craft project, time flies and I get lost in what I'm doing. It really does relax me and helps me get my mind off of the craziness of life.
