Fab lady and beautiful words! I look back to being a child and have fond memories collecting silver milk bottle tops to raise money for Mother Theresa. The aim was to fill a chart up with all the little paper people and each time you reached a new level with the milk tops you could colour and cut a new person. Cutting and colouring was a fave so those milk tops came in fast. Nikki xxx
ice simple truths Jodi. My husband, a veteran trucker is constantly giving a dollar here, two dollars there away, I sometimes get aggrivated at him,and say he should keep his money in his pocket, because we too need it! his reply was, honey you never know it might have been Jesus!..
My name is Jodi Creager…my husband Richard and I have been full time Professional Doll Makers for 40+ of our 43 years together. I came from a family of musicians, actors, scenic artists, writers, lighting directors and a real ‘ Pirate’ thrown in for good measure!!
I was named Jodi by Louie Armstrong, my family traveled a lot with my Dad’s Music, I have had a vivid and active imagination since early childhood , laced with Imaginary Friends, Fairies in the garden, giants that hid behind mountains and Real Ghosts that resided in my home.
I have been in love with ‘Art’ since I first found out what it was. I painted portraits, sculpted in clay, created in cloth and designed my own jewelry. But it was the Doll that captured my heart and stayed with me.
My life has been an interesting Feast so far…peppered with good friendships , seasoned with delightful journeys and marinated in a lifetime of memories … I am always excited to see what banquet lays waiting just around the next bend in the road…
