If you think about it, along with the holiday season comes craft season.
Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter… and so on!
We plan on keeping DelmarvaLife’s Lauren Hitch busy for the next several months. She joins us in Historic Studio D to show us how to make a couple of fall crafts.
