Judith Zausner contacted me right after I posted my new blog and shared links to her initiative of kits and projects that inspire and empower disabled adults to explore creativity. Check out her Caring Crafts Website and her Creativity Matters blog. I love this initiative because I believe we all have a creative fire and Judith is helping through her work to ignite the sparks for people who may have felt they lost their hope of expressing their creativity. Kudos to Judith for making a difference in the world!
