Tuesday Display Chain~ Crafting Secret

For today's display chain Misi asked us to share a crafting secret with everyone.  I thought to myself,
"I don't have and etsy shop, or a selling blog, or a website, or and ebay account. I don't make crafts for shows or for selling.  I make them for myself and for others, I make them to release all this creative energy that I have, and I make them for self satisfaction, and that makes me happy.  Most of my secrets revolve around hot glue and trying not to cuss:o"  Seriously, I am no professional, but I have it running through my blood and I find great joy in learning how to create beautiful things for my home and for others to enjoy.  I have 3 little girls under foot who love to get into my things when I have a creation under way. They have to touch, and look, and "help", and get into it all.  So, things have to get done quickly and can't be left out for little hands to disassemble or break.  I do have at least one secret that helps with the speediness of things and it covers them up.

This is my Nesco Food Dyhydrator.  Except I don't use it for food....much.  The trays are plastered with acrylic paint, dried flower pieces, glue, clay, coffee, cinnamon, and dough.  Maybe I should clean it:)  Whenever I have things that need to dry in the sun, on the counter, for days, etc. I throw them in here instead.  They get done quickly (on the lowest temp.) and the little hands can't touch. And if I have cinnamon and coffee in there, oh the house smells sooooo good.  So, there you have it.....my secret.

~Have a great Tuesday~
