This was such an inspiring podcast! Thank you both for your enthusiasm for what you do. I especially love the point that Kristin started with something very close to her heart and just went from there. That's a great model for us all!

Wonderful podcast, Diane and Kristin! Thank you both for taking the time to share the inspiring story of Craft Leftovers. I love that Kristin wasn't even thinking about it as a potential business when she started. It's stories like this that keep me traveling along the crafty path.

Oooh! I really can't wait to hear you two. :-) This Podcast just couldn't come at a better time as I am thinking of going solo, in a near future.

I'll download it this weekend and give my feedback to you too, for sure. xoxo!

Have a great Valentine's day, Diane. :-)

Hope you enjoy, Fanie!
