I do! I give them away on FreeCycle. People drive all the way to my house for my crafts. It blesses them AND me! I just made this Turtle. It was A LOT of work! This one, however I am keeping bc we are doing our new house, Beach Scene/Nautical Décor. (I live in Florida.) He is going up on a Net with some Seashells! Crafting is EXTREMELY therapeutic for depression and anxiety. However, I know it can get expensive. I get ALL of my supplies from the Dollar Store. Youtube has amazing DT craft vids! Check em out! Get well to ALL OF YOU!

If I am having a super rough day and nothing seems to be helping me feel better or calm me down, I go into my craft room and make something because sometimes that is the only thing that will work for me! I love your turtle. I might have to make one similar. I'm in florida as well

It is by In The Event With Karem on YouTube. You have to click on "Videos." It was super-cheap to make, a few bookoos! I find things online that inspire me. I also love to make miniatures like doll and fairy houses. : ) Since you are FL check out Youtube's Beach Décor and Nautical Décor DIY and Dollar Tree. Lots of fun stuff!!
