March MOTM - Lisa (irThumper)

When I was a kid I always wanted to be a cartoonist when I grew up; after high school I even took a class on how to create and publish comic strips. Sadly, a repetitive stress injury caused me to have carpal/tendinitis in both hands, so a career as a professional cartoonist was not to be. But I do my art when I can, and create crafts when I'm able... I've actually had a crafting "business" for years, but due to circumstances in being a caregiver, and not having any space or room in which to create pieces, it has largely been in name only (except for an item here or there on eBay). Here are some of my craft items from years past...

Here's one my fellow Frog Forum Froggers can appreciate It's called "Frog Pond" (naturally, lol)

I've always been interested in Native Americana...reportedly have some NA blood (said likely to be Cherokee) through my mom's side of the family.
